See the following thread for advice: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/lets-talk-torque.27710/#post-374337 or search "Soldering the shunt" -- this is to increase power off the mark, ie torque. If you want more speed, then it gets more complicated. Speed is a combination of higher volts...

It wouldn't be any more exposed than the TMM4 sensors used in those rear mounted torque sensors. It would be sensing the tension in the chain, with perhaps a smothing algorithmn to even out any fluctuations in readings. I was thinking if this were coupled with a PAS, you could have it so its...

Hi . I have an idea for a new torque based sensor, but first some background. As most here already know there are PAS sensors where your cadence is used to activate the power to the motor. There are also torque sensors which act to provide varying leves of power to the motor by sensing the...

So what about the L1e-A "Unlike many traditional ebikes, the new class gives you the benefit of an on-demand throttle. Depending on your needs you can choose to stick to pedal assist, rely solely on the throttle, or give yourself a quick power boost while riding in pedal assist mode by...

Yeah I remember Zeta and its friction drive on on the rear wheel. The point is had he done the research he would have found the patents from hub motors from the turn of the centuary, and with a bit of thought he could have been the person responcible for kick starting the electric bike...

I've always thought Ebike would take off in a big way if a lead character in a soap where to be seen riding one, or if a postel worker in a rural area soap was featured riding one as a normal fixture. I know i only discoverd the ebike by accident. Now if only Sir Clive Sinclair, back in the...

I use to run a rear airless green tire. http://greentyre.com/bicycle-tyres.php There is a knack to fitting them, I think they came with a pair of green paddles used to lever the tire on. Together with zip ties it is do-able you just need to trust the tire will give at the right moment. ;) I...

Here in wales we finally had snow today, first time in donkey's years. Which says something for the conditions I have had my bike in till now. Does anyone know the freezing point of normal grease?

The motor seems to be styled after the bafang - its the smaller black 250w 36v. Now i have it spinning i am wonder if the baring inside is damaged. There is resistance when turning and an unsettling noise heard only when the wheel is spun in the forward direction. I don't think there water...

I live in a block of flats and my bike is stored outside in a cyle area for residents.. This morning i got up to find the rear wheel frozen solid, it would not budge. I thought the breaks might have been caught up on the disc so i slacken that, but it remind rigid. Now i have the bike indoors...

What a mess. What you need is a water proof container, then have all the wires fitted with bullet crimps so that they all connect up inside the container.

I've removed the disc brakes, loosened and adjusted it from time to time. I just hadn't checked the mount points until recently. I may have over tightened the bolts, which if the bolts are fractionally longer than the hole could have lead to stress on those mount points. I thought i would...

The other day whilst cleaning the bike i noticed on the front fork the mounts points for my disc brakes was cracked. A closer examination revealed both mount points were damaged, one with a big lump missing, the other with a hair-line crack. The bolts are still holding. The front fork is a...

I'll admit to receiving the occasional 'snort' from lycra man as i ride past. They don't seem to like ebikes for some reason..

That's been the way of the two ebikes i've bought. Both featured 'twist and go', as well as pedel assist operation. Both were certified BS approved. Without 'twist and go', you'd have just pedel assist and be forced to starting off in a lower gear under normal human power, which kind of...

I was faced with a similar situation when i had to return a bottled battery because it was the wrong size. The local post office quoted the same edict about the battery needing to be part of some equipment. Fortunately they accepted my argument that the battery was a container for the actual...

Well that's one way to make Brits more cycle conscious.... all we need now are a few soaps prominently featuring the ebike. Any sponsors?

My first Ebike, a PowerCycle Salisbury had torque and throttle.. which i just took for granted until i got my second ebike. The torque sensor was very natural, the harder you pedaled the more the motor compensated. You could start very gradually on the torque sensor, or with full assist using...

Are there issues with the front fork clearance? 38mm? What size is that in old money, 26x3.0 ?

:-)) I doubt if he got above 10mph. Anyway shouldn't he have sounded his bell to give that poor pooch a chance?
