Thanks, I thought that would be it; but I've thought a lot of misfacts in this area (as have quite a lot of others) so thought it worth checking, especially as Nealh's post was so precise.

Does this mean even the Wisper officially tested throttle bikes are not legal in Scotland?

It seems even more confusing than I thought. I can't find anything in the regs about 'standing start'. Neither can Google search, Gemini, ChatGPT or Copilot eg ChatGPT says the term "standing start" specifically isn’t mentioned in the regulations. BUT the regs back-referencing and...

I often point Cycling UK form members to here, but for once I'll put in a pointer the other way: try asking at https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewforum.php?f=55 The style of the Mahle systems means there are not that many users of it here, but many more on Cycling UK. That said, what you are...

Crossed with Nealh's post. I certainly think there should be more special provisions for disabled users. Part of the problem is that there are so many different forms and seriousness of disabilities that it would be difficult for the law to adapt to them all. In the case of the throttle just...

I think (yet another opinion) that the shop owner was confused by the wording which uses Power assistance – ‘Twist and Go’, and usually called ‘Twist and Go’...

I think two motors is not legal for an EAPC even if the sum of their rated powers is <250w I stand corrected (see posts below). I don't know were I got the two motor not allowed thing into my head.

He's often recommended as a supplier of spokes and other wheel-related bits. I used him once, he was very efficient. https://www.ryanbuildswheels.co.uk/

It looks as if almost everything on the Santana3 is heavier, so how do they end up practically the same weight?

Bar sweep angle is very much personal preference. I've got some very like these from Saneagle post #3 on the front of our tandem and I find them a little too swept back. Waspy's in post 6 look as if they'd be about right for me. My original almost straight ones were very uncomfortable and well...

The arrangement of the bars is likely to make for a lot of the difference. Distance from saddle to the bars (by bars I mean the part of the bars you actually use). Height of the bars relative to saddle. Swept back angle of the bars. (I find most bars are too straight which is good for control...

Welcome, good luck with your project. I'm sure some of the experts here will be able to answer your questions when you are ready.

Yes, sounds like quite a bit annoying. Sounds like pretty poor design; doesn't seem to match their (repeated) "no maintenance costs" claims.

whoops: forgot to post ~ mostly been said now You should be able to replace it with a hailong 36v and much larger amps. Beware, there are several Hailong connection pin arrangements (round or flat, and number of pins)., if you want direct battery replacement make sure you get an exact...

This page says 'Updated 10 December 2024' https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electrically-assisted-pedal-cycles-eapcs/electrically-assisted-pedal-cycles-eapcs-in-great-britain-information-sheet It includes have an electric motor with a maximum continuous rated power not exceeding 250 watts

The NeoDrive reply seems to assume it is all working except the clock. Is that correct, or does the failure have a bigger impact than that?

I don't call the 'ladies' bikes shown above as step-through. Step-through to me needs to be much lower, just a very few inches above the bottom bracket. Unfortunately inherently not as strong as diamond or near diamond, so tend to need thicker tubes for strength and so be heavier .

HL is just a case maker. You will find many HL batteries with very different cells. Also, beware, there are quite a few variations on the pin out arrangements between different HL batteries. Doesn't matter if you are buying a battery and base, but does if you want a plug and play replacement to...

And even more so. for a quieter life on the pavement.

Be kind and cut Amazon links at the '?'. Most other links can be cut a lot shorter too.
