People get set up for insurance scams already as you have illustrated above, and i think we have all seen dashcam footage of 2 lads jumping on a car bonnet at a junction with a bmx bike or a moped? attempting a scam.. So if toerags are going to do it they will be doing it already.. They dont...

?? whats the problem its no different from assuming the 'hitter' is at fault when rear ended.. Not always the case, and when not so will come out in the proverbial wash as the insurance company lawyers earn the premium they cost in insurance in the first place. Seems like its just a way to ease...

Perhaps the next iteration of the design will incorporate a simple sprung chain tensioning wheel or two if differences in chain wear do become apparent? even if an enclosed chain does fair better the bike in question has chains open to the environment..

Hi Ramya Welcome.. Might be better if you post your own problem thread,, heads up - full details and pictures are helpful to the guru's in the know,, a snap of your handlebar display/controls, and the controller box label if accessible are generally very helpful too.. That way your bike...

OK perhaps i should cancel my Crunchyroll subscription... but are you sure she wasnt a goddess waiting to reincarnate a soul or 2.. Yeah time i cancelled that sub, everything seems to need to conform to a well trod trope these days..

So you photograph a bike pump and Not the PINK RABBIT??? I appreciate this is a 'special interest' forum but, Guy! Really?

Ummed and erred for ages and considered my #1 priority Airfryer wise CHIPS! and splurged on a tefal actifry with the paddle to ensure chips wings etc get an even cooking without any intervention required.. Limited in some ways though i did bake bread rolls in it from scratch but only 2x at a...

Lots of mobile winch base options from a simple anchor plank you stand on or stake down to professional ladder hoists used to carry bricks/cement up ladders for builders. If the slopes are too much for the result of adding a stand plate and rear wheels to a wheelbarrow and applying an...

Sounds like a static/top mounted motor pulling a cart/sled with a winch might be better/cheaper?? A KT controller needs no pas and has throttle input enabled out of the box and can be run headless for circa £30-40 If not aiming to run a bldc at/close to optimum rpm it can get complicated with...

Welcome to e-bikes.. Afaik Swytch use a reliable brand of motor, and a solid and simple control system which will allow you to add a generic quality battery if required ( seems like you may need if yours is the other new swytch thread??) and if required there is little proprietary about the...

Not all Bikes from Germany are hi-spec high price products, My Basic Ortler see icon pic has rim brakes and pre delivery etc was under £300 new, while not the optimum candidate for conversion it suits me..

Thanks for the helpful nudge.. any links to suppliers with a trusted supply chain to avoid me opting for a sub standard bargain clone would be appreciated ;) The combo idea appeals @guerney but i dont spot any trigger/button features to the telescopic option linked to?

I had almost decided on a good seatpost suspension solution to relieve my backside but due to the stop-start of city navigation, you make an interesting argument, perhaps a few more months prevarication are in order..

After seeing both vids, I still kinda like the look/concept, but even i with my armchair engineering lack of qualifications can see the multitude of ramifications and complications it creates.. The size of the 'bump' in the rd that caused the 'noise/ skateboard wheel pin failure' in vid #1 was...

A general rule of thumb is the more built in and less bolt on an ebike looks the more closed and proprietary its system and spares are likely to be, some will even require an app with fees to turn on the bike.. Just have a browse in here and see just how many issues can only be resolved by...

Check out Woosh and Whisper for vfm off the shelf solutions. Brands you may be more familiar with are best avoided as their penchant for proprietary systems tying you into a closed eco system for parts and spares (batteries) can be very expensive. Avoid anything with battery coms and canbus...

Additional wires connecting to a battery are generally bms (battery management system) closed proprietary communication connections. While many marketing boasts are usually made about such features, they are most often used to turn off the battery power when not connected to recognised control...

My car test started with me reversing up the kerb on the way out of the test centre car park, In my mind i had failed automatically but the test didnt start until we left the centre apparently.. I lost all inhibition and at one point turning the corner to meet the back end of a bus pulling to...

My 1st examiner followed me in a land rover and directed me where he could not follow, I spent 1/2 the test sat by the side of the rd waiting for him to catch up, failed me for hesitating at a junction when afaik he was no where near?? Following month i retook the test and passed but had worn...

Not just me then, seems gaffer tape just need the hint of a warm breeze to fall off these days, 'gorilla' brand was the worst performer of late this end, odd how the 'failed' tape seemed to retain a high level of tackiness ?? about the only thing it would remain stuck to was its own adhesive...
