I'm familiar with the electronics - it's not that we could use existing 12v tech, but we already have regenerative braking on cars. The laws of physics are fairly clear that we can't get back everything we put in - not even close - but that doesn't mean we can't get 36v out of an efficient FWD...

Wow guys - this is great! I've never had so much (good) information in such a short space of time. I'm rather attracted to this option - assuming the lights have short supply so they work when the machine is slow or stopped. I used to use a bottle dynamo (wow, we are largely "of an age here")...

…is a way away yet - but there's nothing like being prepared. Since I'm new to e-biking is there anything to be concerned about? Water ingress rarely causes shorts these days since most things are well sealed but it can cause longer-term damage and corrosion. Also what about tyres, lights and...

The BHF has a chart for various resting and active heart rates I believe - but age and genes play a large factor.

Can't argue with that logic my friend. I'm just hoping I can pay all this money back before they plant me!

I'm more encouraged all the time. Having to drop that kind of dough on what my ex.wife would call a "toy" is no laughing matter if you get it wrong.

Which is precisely what I wrote on the (banned) review but at the time I needed something quick-smart. If it helps I have >30 years in the PC and electronics industry. I run three Debian/ARM servers (not RPis) at home, my daily driver is an i3 to save power and my video/rendering workstation...

It's almost like riding in your teens isn't it! I guess the winter is going to be a bit of a bind though - not sure how I fancy riding in snow (not that I did on the everyday cycle anyway.)

Price, convenience, desperation. Whole bunch of reasons none of which have anything to do with the thread.

Halfords don't censor reviews - but BOY have I had problems with Tesco who likely use the same "Third Party" site. The problem is that these companies use a centralised database for your review so it can (and often does) appear on a platform completely separate to the one you think you're...

I'm the wrong side of 50 now an my trusty Carrera Kraken has plenty of life in it - but didn't really justify a £500 conversion so I've stumped up for a brand new Carrera (something), the one Halfords had "on offer" for *just* £1000... It's not that I'm particularly struck on Halfords but it's...
