    Getting an electric road bike

    Yeah, don't forget it's going to be on a road bike with 700cc wheels! So even at 36v it should be a bit faster. And I can probably upgrade it to 48V... It would be a really lightweight and stealthy complete set up. Issues would be the noise and small drag. But better torque at start and no need...

    I'm struggling

    Can't you put the gears on "high" and go faster with it?

    Getting an electric road bike

    Yeah, the BBS almost look like the right one. However, I'm hesitating with the new xionga dual gear motor.... D8veh had very good feedback on it.... I just wonder if the perfect freewheel of the BBS would be better than a xionga?

    Getting an electric road bike

    Yeah thanks I answered. And no I'm not confident abour his bike or his motor. He's also selling it at full price so it would cost me the same to get it imported from china

    No, there is a limit of 2 for pack over 100wh, but no limit for pack under 100wh: So I can carry 20 of them as long as it's: 20 looks reasonable for me :D

    What about if I split my battery into 100wh mini pack I could reassemble when I arrive? I can make 10*100wh battery pack in my bag. And assemble them back once I'm in destination? :)

    Try this?

    Not interested. Can't see anywhere I can have any use of that in my daily city riding

    does it recharge while you pedal?

    It's funny because once I was really going into what they told me. I was like "yes, when I finished my bike journey the batterie is fully charged". I've seen the eye of the guy a bit guilty to ask such question. Or maybe because of the answer does sound as dumb as his question

    Very Light Folding Bike

    For such a speed... isn't it better to just get a normal brompton or mezzo bike? You'd be as fast without really breaking a sweat at 12mph??

    does it recharge while you pedal?

    I'm starting to be annoyed to always hear the same questions, and so many mockery / sneaky questions I have from other cyclists... Now my philosophie is "YES" to all cyclists asking me sneaky or dumbs questions: - does it recharge while you pedal? > yes, the faster I pedal, the faster it...

    The sorry saga of Khat

    Obviously if they marked "stolen" or "lost" you'd be absolutely entitled to refund as it was their obvious fault. Marking that it was customs fault is a nice way to free their hands up. Especially for the driver who would be checked if parcels are stolen or lost

    The sorry saga of Khat

    Wow thanks. That's a huge mistake. My guess is that they lost the parcel in transit, maybe stolen and are now using **** excuse to not refund you

    Had a nice ride today

    So the extra cost of the Xionga may not worth the BPM. The later one is stronger, more reliable and can put more power when necessary
