Having the weight distribution low and balanced front/back is important for lively riding, but less important for pootling/shopping. An extra consideration is if your arms are at all weak. A fit but weak armed friend found that having weight further back and a bit higher made the bike much...

Quite likely the two left pins/slots on the battery are connected to each other , and the two right pins/slots to each other. I think the holders usually connect to the outer pair, with the inner ones on the holder (if present) not connected to anything (as Nealh says).

and be careful of sharp burrs that can be there; they can easily cut if you aren't, and dirty greasy cuts aren't nice.

Enjoy your new bikes. Don't forget the bike will be working much harder when you end your ride and are going up the hill. If it is getting low on battery that extra work will cause voltage sag and could cause the battery to shut off completely to protect itself. The last thing you'll feel like...

I think you'll find that the 20" wheel gives more torque at the drive wheel, but not more power.

Looks as if mihaimsc joins the ranks of people successfully messing with can bus locked batts; well done mihaimsc

Were you careful while recelling to ensure that the BMS never lost power during the recell process. If not the BMS probably died, in that case from what I have read here the battery is bricked. I don't know if a dead BMS would give those symptoms though.

If you really only use it on hills you can guestimate by energy needed; and you don't need to know what kind of hills, just total ascent. how many kwh are needed to raise 75kg 100m?, answer: approximately 0.0204 kWh of energy is needed to raise a 75kg object 100 meters Allow for the weight of...

If it helps, the same information via a different route https://www.facebook.com/SSAFACornwall/photos/penzance-bike-safety-checks-sustrans-will-be-back-in-penzance-outside-the-front-/1054731096685780/

I think the amount of power has a significant effect because it can change the way the rider behaves. They (the riders of the higher powered machines) are more likely to make sudden unexpected changes, and do them at speed, and weave through pedestrians in shared spaces. They are also more...

The law is indeed as defined. However, that does not necessarily mean as intended.

Logically that is correct, and for you it is: 'just' connect the two wires. For many, the complications of different battery mounts (often with the controller mounted in the battery mount too) means that the logical connection of two wires is imponderable, and without help effectively...

The Intuvia display has the odd feature that it always shows the charge level of the last battery it saw. So if you remove the battery, it may well show 60%, or if any of the connections are wrong, ditto. Also, the same if you take the display off the bike and turn it on. Occasionally useful...

There's probably a connector to the motor which you disconnected when you took the wheel off. Then when you reconnected you didn't push it fully home. There are probably pointers on both sides of the connectors, make sure they are fully pushed in right up the line. It can be quite stiff.

Check with Merlin, https://www.merlincycles.com/bosch-powerpack-500wh-rack-battery-303236.html for a 500, £349 I got that one a year ago, very efficient service and all fine. Hopefully you won't need it. As has been mentioned above, check all the connections. In particular where the battery...

There are many reasons to use an ebike, with speed fairly low on the list for most people. It's true that many of us ride an ebike faster than we ride a regular bike, BUT not as fast as we rode regular bikes when we were 40 years younger. Apart from delivery riders on clearly illegal ebikes I...

Also for fine manoeuvres such as getting through awkward restrictions; you don't want the motor to kick in in when you make a small turn of the pedals.

Maybe the next step is for Putin to reclaim the previously Russian territory of Alaska.

They obviously need to learn from Boeing.

She did pay, directly or indirectly, by buying or borrowing the the books she read and learned on.
