Your pedantry is now becoming very silly. Woosh was posting the capabilities of his pedelecs, I and another saw that and appended "Likes" since his meaning was very clear. Yes the post's wording could be improved for technical perfection, but I would never nitpick as you are doing, knowing as...

The gist is identical, you quoted the models by name, the motors they are equipped with and their respective controllers maximum amps, all that is needed and matching this statement: How concisely you posted is your prerogative of course. .

Which is exactly what Woosh did in this post starting this difference. As you later agreed in posting this: Just what he did for his named bike models. .

Not quite in respect of my previous reply. Although a 20 ampere hour battery will deliver longer than a smaller one, there's also the question of the rate it can deliver at, and that varies. So if the controller of the motor can deliver at a rate of 20 amps, but the battery can't issue the...

Keeping it simple as you request, these motors are slaves. They can only do what the controller tells them to do, and that is limited by the voltage and the current the battery can deliver. More of either is a good thing when you need to get up hills, more of both even better. That's because...

Not surprising, if they are less than 200 yards apart, repeater limit signs aren't permitted. So jumping out is the only way they can restrain speeding drivers. .

Of course it doesn't say, the OP and his son are both autistic and that in part is what autism is about. So we have to guess to make allowances for that autism, and a fair bet is that the petition is about autistic rights and provisions. Information Link .

There's no doubt that the EU mainland countries are far more law abiding than the UK where pedelec law is concerned. There's none of the talk about throttles being necessary/vital for example, as your mention of the makes you see most commonly shows. .

I'll let someone else do that, since it would be of little use due to only a tiny proportion of members ever even viewing. Pedelecs admin stopped posting how many members there are long ago, but it will definitely be well over 20,000 and only a handful join and visit. There's several times...

You are making a judgment based on your own area, but despite that your upper end of 40% is close to meeting my matching possibility. If I do the same the majority are overwhelmingly illegal. I live in the relatively affluent southern half of the London Borough of Croydon where the position...

In fairness the program had to be viewed as what it was, an explanation for the general uninformed public of the situation, and in this respect within the 30 minute format it was a excellent program and a credit to producer and director. The first half covered the main problem of illegal...

As made clear on a TV program, Cheshire Police have acted very strongly against e-scooters, stopping the riders often by chasing them and confiscating the machines. As shown with batteries removed for recycling, all the scooters are shredded for their metal scrap. They aren't alone, though...

I agree, I'm all for far lighter sentences all round. I wasn't posting critically, just illustrating what a state of confusion our society is in with punishment. All because in punishing crime, too often it's the symptoms getting punished, rather than removing the original causes. .

The return of the Swizzbee's differential drive, but much neater in a compact single unit, rather than scattered around the bike. It deserves to succeed. .

But just compare the three statements below: Robyn Fryar was walking home when she was knocked down and killed by a 20-year-old drink-driver. "Drivers who kill pedestrians, cyclists or motorcyclists on Scotland's roads are likely to receive tougher sentences under new guidance for judges...

But not stop the fires, as witness all the Teslas burnt out with their 6000 to over 7000 x 18650s. I prefer my safer prismatic cells. Incidentally took it off the slow charger this morning with 172 miles range indicated, not bad at 5.5 years old with a nominally 168 mile WLTP battery...

Yes, the battery quality is important with the early Torq 1, but if you are using the bike restricted it will be much easier on the battery. I was one of the earliest owners in 2006, first battery 3 months, second (free) battery lasted 10 months by trying to look after it. A new generation of...

Yup, a perfect fit for a typical ITV audience. .

Meanwhile we have to put up with the scaremongering, for example: ITV on Thursday 31st at 8.30 PM have scheduled a program in the "Tonight" series titled: E-bikes and Scooters: Trouble on the Road? Sub titled: Adam Shaw investigates whether electric bikes and scooters are causing more harm...

The Mark 1 Torq models had a very greedy controller, particularly if derestricted, nominally 20 amps but in truth capable of very much more. Using the throttle freely meant only 15 miles for the 360Wh battery, 24 Wh per mile, a crazy consumption rate. They often wrecked the early Li-manganese...
