This sounds like the display is momentarily firing up from residual voltage left in the controller inrush capacitors. Are you sure the battery is actually turned on? Is there some way of measuring battery voltage through to the controller? The max current rating of controller and bms will have...

Only thing for sure Fordulike is that, with thousands of pages to read through, there will be differing interpretations and applications and interminable arguements. The lawyers must be rubbing their hands with glee. Remember those thing called, 'Job for life'?

Which is exactly why we need a drip fed public information campaign. It won't change overnight but gradually a different mentality will take hold. Pictures/films of families out cycling in everyday clothes, people commuting - not racing - to work. People doing their shopping, smiling and...

Yeh, it's asking for a registration Neal. Happy christmas anyway.

Given that this testing could result in the destruction of someones property, should the testing officer not also be an electrical engineer? As vfr says, how is it possible to determine a rated power other than from a label? There seems to be a confusion in the wording of legislation where...

Depends on whether you're into cycling or not. If you are then it'll extend your enjoyment into later life, take you further than you thought you would ever do. If not, then it's a rather large amount of wasted money cluttering up the shed with little or no resale value. I converted mine and...

Springing a frame by 9mm is no problem. As far as I'm aware the majority of rear hub motors are 144mm, so yours is no different. Make sure the dropouts are deep enough to include the anti rotation washer. DO NOT file them with a square or flat file (square corners are weak points), use a rat...

How about a triangle bag like this...

Yay ! Torque steer, clouds of black smoke and 98db, What's not to like?

Agreed that it's a good move but this is a hearts and minds thing. What we need is a good old fashioned public information film campaign, the sort of thing we used to get when seat belts first came in, or the many films about the results of drink driving. A few prosecutions will not stop the...

Spiral wrap is the easy to use solution, it comes in black so good for you. CPC Farnell do it, though their web site is a bit of a pig to sort through. Generally do a search for spiral wrap.

A man can dream can't he? Besides the containers were on wheels themselves meaning that it's actually a flat bed - now that has a host of possibilities. My wifes first reaction was, 'Wow, a guilt free camper'. i think you're right though Flecc, I can't see it in thr combes of south Devon.

'Imagine there's no countries, it's easy if you try' I'm sure the wonderful politicians will find an answer to the problem that they created in the first place. So, once again, proving themselves to be indespencable. And I'm also assured that whichever government of whichever stripe or...

I like the bike box storage, great security. Did you notice what the lady cyclist was wearing? All I can say is, 'What! In those heels?'. It seems like the dutch realy haven't got into all the special clothing you absolutely need to go anywhere on a bike.:rolleyes: The hydrogen cell...

Apart from, could I repair/tinker with it in my shed, it's the 'smart adaptive software' that would bother me. For instance would this mean the system governing my cadence rather than me? Who's gonna be the guinea pig and report to us all after 2000 or so miles?

Why not talk to Jimmy at e-bike batteries? This is the sort of thing that he'd love to throw around.

As there's no rear suspension, ditch the frog mounting and fit a rear rack - problem solved. BTW, your posts would be a lot easier to understand if you, at least, used capital letters, better still some punctuation:eek::)

But not to test ride their somersaulting e-bikes, it seems.

Why did he buy this bike? 'Cos it's big and powerful and makes up for possible deficiency in other areas ;) Take responsibility for your own actions man. You bought it 'cos it was crazy powerful and then whinged when it demonstrated said power. On the other side - what were the manufacturers...

This country has always been expensive. Witness looking at machine tool in America, you will pay the same numerical amount of pounds (or more) as dollars. Some 20 years ago i was involved in a charity reroofing project. There was a team og guys coming from Holland to help. It was cheaper for...
