Hi there. You raise a number of things......... I dont want the engine to cut off the power - I have disabled the pedelec function on my bike and just use the throttle - it gives me more control I find - so the brakes are not an issue. I think you could be right about the 'wow' factor on that...

Cheers Frank.

I do have a problem with shiny sparkly things. Especially the two wheeled with pedal variety. And compared to cars and motorbikes they are all really so darn cheap! Even the expensive ones! The latest problem in my head is that the Sirus Comp has 700 wheels which means I would have to get...

It is a relief to me to know our police have better things to do with their time.

No in fact not - it was this one: Sirus Comp 2013 Which is not carbon at all - though still weighs in at a nice 10.5kg. Then I looked at my old Trec in the shed - and that comes in at 12Kg but would cost zip to buy of course (seeing as I already own it). Less wine and more careful...

Thanks for your replies guys. I must admit it was somewhat of a late-night-probably-drunk-too-much-wine kind of thought. I've heard Carbon frames can cause trouble when fitting a bottle battery - so there's that and no I am not even sure it is carbon - it did look darn cool in the store...

So I was in my local Evans earlier today and they had this utterly gorgeous Specialised 'thing' mountain bike looked like a carbon frame white no shock forks 10 speed utterly beautiful work of art I think it was £1600 and weighed about half an ounce. So I have this Burisch motor arriving...

Has anybody read Kafka's 'The trial'? - this whole thread reminds me of that book.

You two should get a room.

Cool! (but apparently I am not allowed to just say 'cool!' as any post here has to be at least 10 characters long! - so says a pop-up message if you try........ so rather than 'cool!' as a response you get this nonsense too afterwards.)

Great - thanks.

Oh yes Flecc there was something else I wanted to ask you about...... Once I remember you wrote a post explaining roughly how to price up a second have e-bike. It was pretty darn scientific if I remember pricing the bike separately from the battery - which made sense to me at the time...

I knew that.

OK you lost me at the end there - PCB? As a general rule me and my soldering iron don't venture inside the bits covered in Aluminium - but I guess there's always a first time..........

OK thanks that makes a lot of sense (re how come high power bikes dont have pedelec). On the other point though - If 5 is the PAS (pedal assist right? - the pedalec) - then which one is the throttle? None of the others sound like the throttle. I am thinking 5 is in fact the throttle and it...

OK so I am trying to find a 48V controller that has a pedelec function - I dont just want a throttle. I found one that says this: wiring instructions: 1. The power cord：big red +big black- - - - 2. Electric Door Lock Cable: middle red 3. The motor cable: big yellow+ big green+ big...

Well Ryan got back to me and he has indeed put an 11 tooth top gear cog on the back - and he's sticking with the 42 chainwheel. So thats pretty good. It's the 11T rear that makes most of the difference of course - I still think it would be better with a 44T or 45T chainwheel - but I guess...

What I am curious to find out - and I have emailed Ryan with this question - does the 7 speed have a 14 or 11 tooth cog as top gear (if its 14 then thats no good) - and what chainwheel cog is he selling it with now (on mine the final combination that worked from any practical standpoint was an...

Indeed. To be perhaps a little more accurate, it is still an option, but an option with the possibility of such severe consequences that one doesn't seriously entertain it as an option.

I did a 12 mile commute on Friday accross almost solid London traffic (Wimbledon to Ealing) in the rain - I wore waterproof leggings my work shirt, Armani Jacket under a northface lined coat - used my super-doopa ebike (Burisch) - and did it in 45 minutes averaging 16mph. The week before I took...
