    I could have cried, not for EddiePJ

    The dog gets the middle of the bed. Apparently I hog the edge of the bed!( (translation cling on for some comfort)

    Need help with Ebike choice

    Welcome cobbler, it's test ride time. Test them all then ask again. The power difference between legal bikes is negligible. Battery capacity is more important unless you have limited range requirements. Those bikes are torque sensor bikes so you need to put in some effort to move. Most kits...

    Hello

    The power limit is a joke. Legally it's one motor although a 250watt rating. The rating system was designed to make sure manufacturers weren't over rating the motors so most will easily do 500watts plus. Gearing helps but isn't needed for 15 mph. The cheap illegals can be lower power than some...

    I wasn't clear this is better than brexit. The argument is repetitive and lacking fact. Mostly boring personal opinion and as you say point scoring.

    YAMAHA EASY.. Old pedelec ebike but the 24v mid drive unit has potential

    I'm just theorising but a thermistor changes resistance with temperature. So if cold it's one value and hot another. So a feed line with inbuilt resistance will float high until a low resistance to earth(0volts)is added at which point it drops to virtual zero volts. This change of voltage would...

    YAMAHA EASY.. Old pedelec ebike but the 24v mid drive unit has potential

    Simply the little switch box sends a signal back to the control unit in/around the motor. Turning the cranks is sensed and the pressure applied activates the motor in proportion to how hard you press on the pedal. More details of the way it's done on flecc's informative articles.

    YAMAHA EASY.. Old pedelec ebike but the 24v mid drive unit has potential

    Beach the thin wire is unlikely to control the drive. The battery voltage feeds control and motor via the control unit. The wire may be supply for switching on off that's common practice. But this is guess work from me.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How about they leave it behind, and assisted exit too.

    It also looks as f the nut is sitting on top of the recess. Would one that fits into it not hold much better?

    There are so many to choose from - help

    The old Panasonic crank drive was in my opinion great. Good power,well controlled and delivered. And the batteries lasted very well. Just not 4*4 proof otherwise I would still be riding one.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ah but there's lots of internal red tape like safety assessments and protection for workers that can be slashed. Along with the right to withdraw your labour. Ps keep getting better tilson

    Insurance

    SW is right that we haven't had anyone done yet. Being an idiot will get you nicked too. But I was involved in an accident. My bike was brake tested, they were locked on! So no further investigation but as more knowledge gets out then speed and power tests will happen. Just hope it's not you. I...

    Crank Drive Motor Clunking Noise

    We must argue then. An motor is a singular motor, a judge would have to decide but a 6 cylinder engine is one engine as a multi pole motor would be. Two independent motors is not an motor but two motors, so simple application of law. Not really worth the risk of testing. My particular point...

    Crank Drive Motor Clunking Noise

    It is set. The law says only one motor. It is simple that one. The power is something else. A bad bit of legislation.
