Morris Minor Convertable. Showing your age. I remember my dad (54) having one of those. When I was about 5-6 I used to sit in the back of it and call it the windy car. (Mainly becasue of it being a convertible not some other reason).

I have alot of friends around the mid to late 20's that have also been caught out by this. I myself have been done. I refused to pay the extra 25 pound and declared i had no cash or cards to pay the fee. All of which was lies. They knew it, i knew it. I ended up getting off at the next...

Same boat as Flecc. Never see any but then again I only ever do my standard commute and see the same faces. Probably about 20 cyclists going down the main A34 on my way to work. Most are obviously going towards Birmingham center to work. All are hardcore cyclists!

I pedal on the flat at around 20mph takes a bit more effort to get past that speed espcially if there is wind. Hardly think he would get noticed. Don't get an E moped, you'll look like a tool.

I believe police do not have time to really spend badgering cyclist. They have more important things to do like think about there paycuts / Jobs - and bacon! You'll never take me alive!

Regarding Drag, With the Bafang motors I've noted that if you leave the throttle pinned and head down a hill where by you go over the assist speed there is a small amount of drag. However release the throttle (Throttle only) as the bike freewheels no problem. All be it not as well as a...

Hang about, his not asked to go moped speeds just a little more assistance / speed from the standard commute. Getting a moped leaves you without freedom of a bike and we are not talknig about a super fast motorbike build. About the question of a reconfiguring of cells. Theory - Yes you can...

Hence why i stick my first name on here. The f is the first letter of my last name. It makes it easier when i.ve meet various people on forums as your already a name that doesn't sound like an alias from space. But thats just me. I know alot of other people would prefer to stay unrecognised.

Depending on the hub drive you can overvolt to get to that 20mph figure. However it will cost you a new brushed controller and battery. Really would need to know the motor and controller to really get a handle on it though. The logic is quite simple to get a push bike to go quicker in an ebike.

Welcom back ye ole Fudger!

I can think of loads of countries that have wose roads and infastructure. I just think we as brits like a moan about anything. Thats all it is. If the roads where perfect you'd still moan about something. *The drainage/manhole covers are set in to deep *White lines are slippy in the wet...

Really we as forum members are going down this route? You hardly pay road tax ;-) (Awaits the first person to get on their soap box)

Well there seems to be alot of the Special PC's knocking about round the centers. But it seems that alot of these are trying to get in the good books to get an actual job as a police Man / Woman. Almost nessacary now days to be one of those before becoming an actual PC. A few on push bikes...

Some of the roads are not great, some cycle lanes I use are ok. Some roads have been recently resurfaced and are as smooth as a babies bum. But its hardly India...

About as basic as you can get really but a budget price that would save the hassle of a kit and you'd still have warrenty. What you you be using the bike for? What is your realistic budget?

Why do you need to go to 160psi? Surely its easier to just have a solid rubber tire :-) Beside's i'm 26 and my right arm has had plenty of exercise so i can pump fast.

I use people like ramps.

Pointless Law. Don't see the point and no one will take notice.

I just use a cheap hand pump, £4 job done from Evans. Its a pump... It doesn't do anything fancy...:rolleyes:

Either way its still cheaper than petrol lol. Seriously though i'd be happy with 600 cycles and replacing every two years. Don't think i'd ever use up the 2000cycles that some chemistrys advertise.
