It makes me visible but it doesn't provide light very far. I'm thinking to get a stronger xml light to see potholes and othet cars facing me

I added one more row of led light https://www.dropbox.com/s/j6284kj3d6u3nsh/2014-03-22%2014.53.31.jpg

It's not about the lady, it's about having a consistent travel with friends!

I very much agree with D8veh. Any normal normal lithium charger should be good enough. Actually, cheaper is almost always better because you want low charge rate. I'm very happy with my 130W charger set up although I have a 1200wh battery ahah. I'm charging at about 0.1C rate. But I don't...

cargo bike are just too large to fit in my lift... :(

I'm using this absolutely SILENT charger combo: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=57905 I needed it because my battery is 72V. I charge all cells to 4V everyday to enjoy years of battery calendar life !

Hello there, Have any of you heard of compact tandems? They look to be compact enough to fit in my lift... and potentially legit enough not to have trouble with police? I'm thinking of a good bike candidate I could use to transform to a compact tandem, the Dahon jetstream will wheelie...

Yeah I was just testing the horn. I usually don't use them.

Jerry, you can find here the sound of the klaxon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hES3PVL5qcY You can see it at 6:30mn. ps: when I was on the sidewalk I was walking!

I haven't really bolted it. The the arm is attached to my hose clip. It does look ok

Good point with DIY led stuff is that thieves are not that motivated to steal it from me :) I've also received my chinese £2.50 horn: It works but it has an horrible trumpet noise... I'll have to test this horn outside and see how people react... they may not understand because it...

That's the reason why it's dangerous on the road, especially with taxi&bus drivers: http://road.cc/content/news/73826-taxi-driver-fined-£35-3-points-his-licence-after-cyclist-killed-collission they can ran over cyclist, kill them and be fined £35. Less than me crossing a red light.

yes lessen learned for crossing red light. I did that when I was late. Of course not anymore. And I'll respect light... although sometime it's really against cyclist.. ie: red light on very narrow intersection. Cars want to pass first and really just go over few inch away from me :(

Bus lane are for bus, taxi or bikes unless specified otherwise: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/redroutes/963.aspx The video is on a low traffic period. During peak time, it's way more dangerous. Cars everywhere, and they often ignore cyclists. It's way more dangerous.

I would of course stop when arrested by the police.. But having a stronger motor would have made my journey safer as I'd be able to start out before any car. Remember the time where 6 cyclists were dead in a couple of weeks? I can't remember of any of them killed because they crossed a red...

removed it. My address in the uk is temporary anyway

I haven't put my name or address there. Shall I still remove the post?

Hello all, I was today late going to meet friends, and I decided to cycle fast from home. I jumped over a red light to go faster... and then a police car ran next to me and asked me to stop and park my bike... The police officer asked me if I knew I did something wrong... I told her it was the...

Thanks Flecc, you're my official lawyer of the forum here. D8veh gets the mechanical award ;) I've seen these guys: http://www.bmxsidehack.co.uk/Pricing/pricing.html They quote £285 for a custom sidehack. Good price isn't it? I'm asking them if they can help with that :)

yeah legality on my current bike is not so much an issue because it looks like a normal electric bike. Apart that it goes a little bit faster. But carrying a passenger will be a cop magnet... so I have to be more careful. I did that once in Paris with my bikeseat on a bosch motor. But it was...
