You clearly haven't read and understood my posts properly.

Well, as @flecc said, 18 mm is a little unusual for most spanner sets. When I first got into e-bikes, I was surprised that 18 mm was used, I assumed it would be 19 mm. There are people who buy a set of tools, stick them in storage and never use them until they are in the middle of nowhere and...

The question is whether it is a tool for making a Fiat car work (which might be useful if you own one) or it is a Fiat tool, a tool that instigates a command or act of will that creates something without or as if without further effort. :D

Ah, my bad I didn't click on the link in your post :) : http://www.flecc.uk/t/tools.html

To throw a spanner in the works as it were :D...has anyone mentioned the nut on hub motors (assuming you are using a hub drive) is usually 18 mm? I commute over 20 miles each day. I rarely carry any tools, not even a pump or repair kit. Modern puncture resistant tyres mean you almost never get...

It's their chance to show what kind of company they are. I hope they do sort it. As it is, I'm left looking like an idiot as I recommended Yose power to my friend who bought the battery in the first place...It would be nice to be able to recommend a company without it coming back to bite you...

So, when you build a battery, do you run the main power cables right next to the sides of the cells? Do you fit it with a fuse that has a higher rating than that of the main wiring?

As you say Tony, it has a lot to do with cultural differences. In many east Asian countries it is a terrible thing to make a mistake, so if it happens, it must be concealed or down played. In the west, mistakes are more seen as being part of the learning process. In the long run, for a company...

There is free speech and irresponsible speech. It's a fine line to tread. I think I have made my point...and I am not silent.

I am not taking any moral high ground. This country has done some good stuff in the past but also an awful lot of bad stuff too. But, we can talk about things like Bloody Sunday and many other incidents without being shut down or silenced. Even vague references to Tiananmen Square in China can...

I agree with you Tony, a good company issues recalls, but then it needs to be done publicly and brought to everyone's attention, not done behind the scenes, as if trying to hide things. Then, to "harass" someone who tries to bring the recall to wider public attention, that is not on. I am sorry...

Because they are insisting I somehow delete the thread I started about their recall, which I feel is unacceptable harassment, especially when I don't even have admin rights on the forum to delete threads etc, by someone who may or may not be an official representative of the company. The person...

I've had Suntour (I think they are NEX) on a couple of my bikes. Worked nicely until it rained, then they became stiff. On occasion through the winter, one would seize up and it was a case of sticking lots of oil on and bouncing hard on the handle bars to free it. After 2000 miles or so, they...

The obvious thing too... it shows that you don't need a "500 W" motor to act like a complete tw*t. Yes, the guy has a lot of skill etc, but all it takes is for someone to jump the wrong way, or be otherwise distracted for something bad to happen.

The problem is the BMS, not the charger. They are not good enough. They should block charging voltages or currents that are too high and they should be able to withstand transient spikes from motors. Unfortunately, corners are cut and most battery BMS systems are not really up to the job. It...

I have spoken to them, they don't know what they are talking about when it comes to anything vaguely technical and I'm not sure they really understand the needs of those with disabilities. I know that when I had serious operations on my legs, I needed a throttle to get me about, I couldn't turn...

In some EU countries that allow e-scooters, commercial rental scooters are allowed to have a higher top speed and power, while privately owned are limited to "250W" and 20 kph. Some also require insurance if they weigh more than 25 kg. So it is possible to have two different rules to keep the...

I can't see Currys, Halfords or other places halting sales unless it is made illegal to sell them . They are legal in much of Europe and there are already too many out there on the roads in the UK for the police to do much about it.

I would liked to have seen more balance in the article. The impression given is that everyone is against "500W" and throttles. There are plenty of people out there who would welcome the changes, but they have been ignored. For example, you could have spoken to @Wisper Bikes about how they go to...

Here's a better picture, to really give you the feel for 70s styling:
