    Modifying to Torque Sensing

    I wanted to get the feedback from your friend Roger, I have a Roger S. who got a TS kit in 2020. Peter Bridge has/had a newer (2023) and better model. We can help Roger to upgrade his kit to the same sensor as Peter had.

    Government wants to make investment in renewables more attractive, the pricing scheme does exactly that. Also, the tax take on renewables is higher. Besides, if there is less wind in the mix, we will depend even more on gas, when there is a crisis like war in Ukraine, the price is likely even...

    Quite possibly. Still, compare that with the 22 million cars transported worldwide by sea every year. Statistics suggest about 6 fires a year. Not a huge number and only 2 out of 6 are ev fires.

    800 of those 4000 are EVs and they are heading to Mexico. We still don't know what caused the fire.

    Modifying to Torque Sensing

    The most I have to do is to change the assist level. People get used to the way their controller reacts in no time at all. you may like one controller best but virtually all ebike controllers let you pedal as hard as you like. I have used a range of controllers from Lishui, KT, JYT, Ananda...

    in 2024, 84.1 TWh were generated by wind, 86.3 TWh by gas, 40.6 TWh by nuclear and 14.8 TWh by solar. I expect wind will be top in 2025. Without wind, our electricity bill will be substantially higher.

    It's hard to cut government 's spending. They started with 10% target , 1-2 trillion. Their current estimate is 180 billion and at least half of it is probably unachievable. The doge process ends probably with nothing to show beyond disruption. Farage has adopted the same strategy, cut 10% of...

    The problem with Trump is he understands business but not economics and he also tries to micromanage. You can't do that successfully unless you have the sense of detaIls which he doesn't. He sees only the upside of his ideas. He ridicules not just himself but the whole country. Musk was...

    This is in South Korea. This factory can build your house in 3 days. We know that the UK has a permanent housing crisis for more than a generation. So, can we setup a similar factory?

    Help! My next project

    each spoke can hold as much as 200kgs in traction force, so what gives first is not the strength of the spokes but something that caused the spoke to be loosened like the hole in the rim gets damaged or the spoke gets broken at the J bend. It is rare that spokes break in the middle. When the...

    we will destroy ourselves and be long gone more or less extinct as a species way before the end of the current Milankovitch cycle due to our own stupidity. Earth will have a rest before somehow another more intelligent homo-sapiens2 comes about. Each Milankovitch cycle takes 100,000 years. It...

    It is good to use 13g at the flange and 14g at the rim but those spokes cost a lot more compared to ordinary stainless or anodised 13g for your AKM, especially if you have to buy singly at a later date.

    If you spoke a wheel traditionally from scratch with 13 or 12 gauge spokes, you will notice that at the beginning, there is noticeable friction between the j bend and the flange of the motor and also the angle between the nipples and the rim may look uneven. I usually stop several times when...
