4 wheel cycles were common in tourist areas of the Southern Europe (before electric bikes were available), maybe look to see if you find an electric version or buy a non-electric and add the electrics yourself? Some are tandem layout, others are side-by-side. Many have bucket seats or armrests...

I’d like to think newer materials and technologies will mean enclosed shells can be made cheap and light, but you still have the problems of other road users, and storage at both ends of your trip. The original 50cc Tuk-Tuk are popular here but even with the petrol engine they struggle on any...

Hi, you can use a small screwdriver to remove the cables from the plastic block connectors. On assembly the metal is pushed into the plastic housing and a "barb" keeps it in place. To dismantle, push the cable into the connector to take pressure off the "barb", use a small screwdriver to depress...

I like your term Nurses lock. I have a "Dutch Town Bike" and one of the first things I did was to remove that lock as I didn't want to find someone had locked it and removed they key while I had left it chained to railings when I went shopping. Maybe in a country with less crime (Netherlands...

Sounds like a good result on the bearings / clutch :) The nut and washer are either very a different setup to the ones I've seen or something is not right. On mine there is a washer between the nut and the wheel, the washer is smaller diameter than the casing so there's no contact between...

Hi, I think the easy option would be to strip the motor and replace the whole clutch unit once you know what type you need. I had a similar problem last year (my clutch was locked solid - yours is the opposite and never engages), you might be able to soak yours in solvent (degreaser, petrol...

New materials allow fast charging of Electric cars - claiming 5 minute charge time https://www.store-dot.com/ev No mention of how our existing infrastructure will cope with the demand peaks, and I think they have confused "Storedot (actual)" with "Storedot Prototype" on their graph which...

Hi Tim, Just for info my first ebike project was trying to fix a worn & broken hub - I now know several makes of hub have the same dimensions, and yours looks the same. You might find it easier to source a replacement (used?) hub rather than trying to find specific parts to repair yours. In the...

100Ah looks great value for £60, notice the advert says "Be quick! This product was already sold out twice this year. So be quick before it is too late!" Strange that most 10S4P batteries from other supplier are 10Ah not 100Ah :rolleyes:

@ph1 etc, it looks like you can get bolt-on kits to convert bikes so disk brakes can be used. I have no experience but it might be an option for you. Eg https://www.snapdeal.com/product/adjustable-bicycle-bike-disc-brake/669072189715

I saw those when I was searching for a KT display a few months ago, looked good value but I couldn't find any with a waterproof bullet connector to match my system, very happy with the compact LCD4 display I got instead. It's worth looking to see what new dispays are available, I think only...

Hi Nick, I have a Yose kit (bought last June for about £350, prices had jumped to over £400 by Christmas due to lockdown demand). It has been great for me as my first Ebike but I have since converted from Yose to system made by KT. If I was buying again I'd prefer to buy a "current controlled"...

The replies crossed - Huawei turns on gps automatically when you start a recording "session", but they don't record your heart rate continously (it is always displayed but it's only recorded when needed). The gps is internal on the watch as it works even if you don't carry your phone but I don't...

I'd guess they will be the same for speed & distance as they use the same GPS system, not sure how apps show maps and your routes but I'd expect them all to be similar. A watch will also give accurate heart rate and calories which I find useful so I can see my fitness levels improve on familiar...

Hi Russell, maybe a fitness-type watch would be a cheap and easy solution for you? A common and popular watch is called a Fitbit - either search in the box at the top of this website or look on Google etc. My watch is made by company Huawai the model is Band3 Pro, it cost about £50 a few years...

As a first attempt it was ok but needs work before I'd offer it to anyone else. Served with new potatoes, leaf salad & mayo. Leftover beer to wash it down. Defrost the frozen fillets in the microwave on low power. Mix a paste from tomato sauce, dash of worcester sauce, honey, demarrera, add...

A friend does a lot of cooking, I don't. Last night she was explaining something very similar but with added demerrera sugar (+ optional Worcester sauce) I already have frozen pork fillets and have been shopping today for any other bits I needed. Will try it for tea tonight ;) Any else got any...

Electric bikes can have the motor in the front or back wheel, or as part of the pedal assembly. Almost all legal bikes with the motor in the wheel have a free-wheel system so when the power is turned off they act like a normal cycle (but with a bit of extra weight because of the battery and...

A lot of my life has involved manual effort (hobbies, work, DIY) and a long time ago it became obvious for me it's a balancing act between the food you eat and the calories you burn up during a day. During winter I'm less active so don't need to eat as much, long days doing physical work in the...
