SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The connector was molex, so easy enough to remove and remove nuts, grind down the flange bit. Then my M12 20mm OD washers came good - so able to use those to space the axle in the fork allowing disk to not it, and the nuts to grip without the quick release indents...

Geeeeee wizzz "Just some simple M12 washers and nuts" has turned into a job and a half! The axle nut isn't standard M12 - not sure what it is - M12 fine? Regardless, my engineering company mates don't have them The M12 washers I need can't exceed OD of 21mm due to my forks. ALL M12 washers...

Hi guys I ordered and now have my hands on a 36v 250w front wheel kit (geared brushless) and 10Ah battery. About 0.0001mm clearance for the battery for it to fit and enable removal, slight mod of cage needed to connect to bottle bolts. Front wheel is tight in the front axle. But can fit -...

Thanks for asking. Yes. She can walk around the house and up stairs, but just not frequently. If she walked 100m she'd be in pain. Yesterday was quite bad, but a few days ago walked maybe 1km in a couple of hours which probably caused it to go worse. So yeah, she is "mobile" and better than...

Hi Yep, I've been searching here as well as asking and seeing the experts comments on other threads. I'm now changing tack to 250w front hub - which is geared (not DD) and a smaller motor which is less chance of getting in the way of brake calipers. Also not touching any other mechanics so...

quiet village in sunny wiltshire, on the flat, easy access to canal and wide bridleways and barely used country lanes.

I'm sure anywhere that rents them will be legal pedal assist, but for sure its worth an ask - will pop into LBS. I'm not worried about legalities, and neither would you be seeing your OH getting more depressed by the day. After seeing d*cks on youtube I understand why the law is necessary. But...

You are possibly right but our usual week would be a few bike rides, a few runs, a few long walks. We're always out and about. hence a "minor" foot injury which has left her housebound for 2mths isn't great for her mental wellbeing, and with the exception of a wheelchair or mobility scooter...

The wife would only be using it for a month (touching wood) - and I'd always be with her. Not worried about it running out of puff - it'll only be around here and I'd go and get the car if needed. Its literally a temporary thing to get her out of the house. She has full mobility and can still...

No, slightly different - more space in the frame (currently has 2x bottle cages that take 600ml bottles each) What problems are envisaged?

Hi Sadly wife has a foot injury which is preventing her pedalling and riding, as well as standing, walking, running, driving, working etc. Cue a rather p*d off wife, virtually housebound for 2m so far (from almost daily running, walking, biking etc...) She is self employed, so no income, so...
