    MiRider Bikes

    This video is really interesting. It explains why the MiRider is more expensive than the Onebot. These guys did a much better job than the other guy from Mirider that came on here telling us about it. The guy that made the video is very good at what he does. He mainly videos government...

    Treadmill Bicycle

    These look interesting and legal at 15.5mph. I wonder what the police would make of it? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/41veO1WlAp8

    New Project Started

    I've started a new project. AFAIK, what I'm doing hasn't been done before - not like I plan to do it, anyway. It'll start off fairly normal, then it'll get expanded, and finally, a bit of a twist in the tail. For a bit of entertainment, you can start guessing now. I'm not going to give any more...

    Second Hand Electric Bikes

    I just had a look at Ebay used ebikes for sale. I filtered the results by ending soonest, then looked at the list. I had to go through 20 listings before I found any that got a single bid in their 7 to 10 days of being listed. The first one was a fairly heavily accessorized Samebike at £41 with...

    3-D Printer

    It's amazing what you can do with a 3-D printer. You can make things exactly like you want them. Here's my latest. Don't take any notice of the battery wiring. It's old cells used to train my student in how to weld, wire up and solder a battery. We're only using it to get the size and shape of...

    Welder Connectors

    I'm making a DIY welder for battery packs. Does anybody know what these connectors are called that connect the electrode leads to the main unit...

    Yet Another Retrofit System

    https://bimotal.com/products/elevate-pre-order The advertising is a bit disingenuous. They forgot to mention that there's a permanently installed battery on the bike they fit it to. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bS-EgwhBPX8

    Brake Sensors

    See if you agree. I think most of it is OK, but when these guys sell stuff, their comments are normally in relation to what they sell. and they only have limited experience of all the other stuff available. I don't have brake sensors on my cadence seensor bike, and I've been very happy with it...

    Battery Welding Technique

    After many years, my Sunkko welder has given up, so I thought I'd replace it with an easier to use portable one. I got this one from Amazon...

    Latest Cheap Wattmeter

    These wattmeters are all over Ebay and Amazon for about £10. They can tell you a lot about how your bike works and everything about your battery if only you could see it while riding. You could thick battery wires up to the hand lebars and back, but not only is that ugly, but you also get some...

    Belt Drive

    This came up on Reddit. It looks like a standard Aikema (AKM) cassette motor with an adapter for belt drive. It might be interesting to someone. I searched, but I can't find the adapter. Don't forget that to fit a belt you need a frame that has a removable piece to get the belt on. There are...

    Front fork failure

    It's worth reading the comments in this thread if you're thinking of fitting a front motor or buying a ready made bike with one, especially one with enough torque to get you up the hills:

    Cheap Electric Bike

    Every time I watch YouTube I get adverts like this. If you buy two, you get 25% off and if you wait a while, they give you a discount code for 15% off. That brings the cost down to about £19. I'm very tempted, but inflation has squeezed my weekly spending money to £2 a week, so it'll take me 20...

    Electric Cargo Bikes

    Fedex and Amazon are using these vehicles for deliveries in UK. I haven't see them yet. My tiny last delivery came in a massive truck. I was looking at that "250w" quadricycle van thing that can carry 150kg with its "250w" motor, plus the weight of the vehicle and rider. I'm guessing that means...
