Due to concerns over "teflon" (PTFE) and the shite it results in releasing into the environment during manufacture and use, I've moved to ceramic coated frying pans. They are ok, but I still find I need to bake on a layer of oil first to stop things from sticking.

After a break following Christmas and then an accident on the ice in January, I've started riding again this week and collecting data. 82 cycles now. After charging: Charged to 41.013V: Bank no. ) Voltage 1)...

This thread may be of interest to you too: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/yose-power-failure.37893/#post-562589 I've gone off silverfish style batteries, as the metal shell is 450g and all the unnecessary gubbins that comes with it is another 550g. So in total an extra kg to lug...

But could you not swap over the battery bottom ends complete with prong fitting? So if I understand it right, the 10 Ah battery fits the base on the bike, but the 15Ah doesn't. So I would remove the bottom completely from the 10Ah battery pack (undo the 4 screws), along with its connectors...

And the Americans have probably copied this from UK documents :)

Can you unscrew the bases from the batteries and swap the battery bases over? That is likely to just need the soldering of two wires.

Maybe in some DfT documents from the 80s. I remember watching a documentary about road safety back in the 80s with someone responsible for them explaining that the idea was to slow traffic down. It forced people to slow down and check for traffic coming from side roads, but generally without...

Yes, flowing, but moving more slowly.

How about "vfr's chicken surprise"? :)

And your Omega "3"s...even if it is 3 litres :D!

I wonder if there should be a national speed limit for roundabouts to try and slow people down? The whole point of roundabouts in many cases was to slow traffic down. But now people have got used to them and treat them with utter contempt, trying to zip across them as fast as they can. Have you...

That's the problem, conspicuous consumption. We can't do it any more. People are going to have to do more with less, we don't have the resources for large numbers of Teslas.

It's not about comparison, it's about fitness for purpose. An expensive, heavy, large and resource hungry Tesla isn't appropriate for the majority of car journeys and our cities don't have space for them. The European examples are ok, but they are going to cost a lot more than this one from...

Before you do, it would be a good idea to post some pictures here as vfr said just so all the details can be confirmed :)

This is what is more appropriate for most towns and cities than a £30k Tesla: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56178802

If you don't care about the warranty, unscrew the end plate from the 10Ah pack and see how many of the sockets are actually wired to anything. If it's just two wires, with a bit of soldering, you should be able to swap the bases over.

£0 to £999? Seems extravagant to spend as much as £999 on a bike! :) Why not a £0 to £499 category?

This is what happens when you let art students loose on bike anatomy...this one will make your eyes tie themselves in knots trying to make sense of it!

Trouble is, how do you compete with the 99% efficiency and low cost of a properly set up chain?

Years ago I wouldn't have thought twice about it. I used to live in a country where -15 C was normal in the winter. I carried on cycling and I didn't have winter tyres or studded tyres. I had boots I screwed home made studs into and if I was about to lose grip I'd quickly stick a boot down and...
