It is dangerous if it is sustained. It is unlikely that you want that much power unless you were climbing the famous Dutch Alps! If you have a 400 watt hour battery you would flatten it in 15 mins. The issues is overheating and it is unlikely to get that warm that quickly. On the relatively...

Two lead acid batteries give 24 volt, three give 36 volt. In series that is.

Galloway, Greenock and garten are all west coast. But as I remember it's mostly flat along the Lochsides. So legal kit will suffice. There is a bike shop in gourock that has an electric bike or two. The off-road bit is misleading its actually only private land with owners permission that it's...

If the motor keeps putting out 1600 watts I would refrain from touching the throttle by around 80 kph. It would be really scary by then. Don't worry about the peak values. Unless you maintain it for a while ( usually thinking around 30 mins) the motor won't overheat. If it starts to get warm...

Yes it's true the Germans are incapable of managing there budget. What with continuous growth, supporting education and production. We have nothing to learn there. Or the Scandinavian countries, growth and development must be unknown to them. I suppose that's why they need to give away Nobel...

The legal 250 watt nominal bikes actually can putout over 500 watts. A 15 mile commute can be done in under an hour. 50 mins yesterday for 15 miles for me. With BBS 01 kit as factory issued. If you need to go much quicker then Honda will help but @ 30 mph with lights and junctions your going to...

I betD8veh would know

As above a wireless speed sensor. It could be for a different speedo/odometer. If it works without then don't worry

An hour circuit, I recon my legal one with a 3ah 10s lipo should last the course. A doubt anyone else would even try to beat that.:D

Look if I want to pretend to be soundwave for a day. And they were trikes, three wheelers bikes with electric assistance. S class+

Clarkson was a ginger?

Cedric is a fruit bat, but a great one at that. One of his bikes might be fun. Or the pikes peak winning trikes.

I agree with you but for your racist statement. The vast majority of Tories are English not Scottish.

If the Hercules is an option then what about a Brompton. It's the classic folder. And can be electrified for a reasonable price. And hold its value as well. Quite a few of the forum items have done builds recently a few beautiful jobs.

Copper coils and varnish! The varnish acts as insulation stopping the copper coils from short circuiting. If the insulation is broken, a short forms. This bypasses the coil windings, Reduces the reluctance and causes low drive and high current. Bringing on very hot wires. And finally the magic...

Nice concept. Fairly standard kit. Just one issue. Cruse control allows you to maintain speed without pedalling ? They appear to have added a make this bike illegal function for no real gain. Plant face in palm of hands......

Spare battery at under £250, for 10ah doubles your range or is a new power pack in a few years time. If the old one deteriorates. The alternative 14ah battery will give more range or allow less human effort as you age. Enjoy the retirement until you need to replace and keep the money safe. Don't...

I went a bit off road here Bristol out into the Severn . My bike is in the dingy ready for when we get to Cardiff. Probably about 8 miles from nearest road. Is that ok?

Yes it can, with practice you can do it.
