And this is exactly the reason that so often rcomendations, on this forum, are for bikes with generic parts where you don't get tied in to proprietary components, either at great expense or unavailable after a couple of years. These bikes can get referred to as, 'cheap chinese crap' by some...

Been there, tried it. You'll probably find it's cheaper to buy a complete crank set. I know, crazy !

Well, after much tutting and wtf, I finally got there. I'd love to show you the result but I've already expanded my computer skills enormously and I'm not sure I can take any more !:eek: Thanks for the tutorials Guerny.

Jeez, if that's the requirement we're all stuffed. Suspect it may be a piece of european over thought flummery. Clue is, at the start, it refers to EPAC (is that electric pedal assited cycle?) , I believe in this country it's EAPC (electric assisted pedal cycle), which is totally different. If...

Thanks very much. I'll try it tomorrow when I haven't got a glass of malt in my hand. :cool:

WOW, thanks Guerney, that's comprehensive. Unfortunately you lost me after clipboard o_O

I also used an HP laser printer. No problems. My difficulty was not being able to replicate the CE and UK CA fonts. Anyone got a pointer?

After many years of riding an Ezee powered bike , that has speed control, here's my take. Setting one gives around 6mph - too fast for walk assist but too slow to be useful anywhere but packed pedestrian areas where one probably shouldn't be riding anyway. Setting 2 gives 11-12mph. I find...

At least on the ship they were able to seal the compartment to flood with inert gas. Couldn't do that in the chunnel, people sit in their cars for the duration of the journey don't they? How about a multi story car park? Seems to me that this technology has not been fully through yet. A petrol...

It'll be interesting to see what the 'switch' is. Obviously a physical switch would be illegal . I suggest an iris scanner which will operate the device for a programmed time when you look directly at it:cool:. Just be careful where you look when you are pulled over.

Once took my van for mot and the speedo was intermittant. Was informed by the mechanic that it wasn't a problem as it's not part of the mot.:confused: Who'da thunk? Both the vans in our houshold (Boxer and a Vivaro) have speedo's that consistantly read 5mph over what's being done, measured...

Eh?? So, my bike has an led display. The only speedo is a Cateye cycle computer which must be really accurate ! Is lifting the motor wheel really the only way they are going to test for speed?

I agree. Bikes like that shout, 'I'm an unregistered motor bike, please stop me'. Saw a similar thing on Lampeter high street a couple of weeks ago. The guy was really pushing his luck 'cos he was going up an incline without pedaling!

No wonder my bit set has so many mysterious never used hex drive bits in it. And still there are times when nothing is the right size :mad:

So, what I need is a label stating max. continuous rated power (250W) and voltage Motor supplied as 36v) and suppliers name (TBK) and the kit is legal and good to go, so long as max. speed is set right? As it will be a conversion does the bike itself have to be labelled? - I know, here we go...
