Went for another ride at lunchtime : Voltage after the ride was 39.4v ( so maybe used 1/4 of the battery?) I think I've worked out what is going on, that fiendish KT controller is tricking me into putting more effort in ! I've not had a KT controller before, but I'm used to Pas level 2...

Dunno if its the same model (did it change from hub to mid motor ?) but

Yep - the PAS disc came in two parts that just clip on and then fit a clip round it. Then you attach the sensor to frame (which was a little fiddly to get it close enough to sense the magnets Yep they do Bromptons...

No - its a KT 36/48V 6 mosfet 15A sine wave controller from topbikekit with the power based pas levels -the hills weren't that steep mind

That's with the cutoff set to 17mph (15.5 +10% leeway that is legal). With the @saneagle DNP Freewheel (11 teeth for the highest gear) I can go at a faster speed down the hills without any assistance. I think it should be OK reliability wise (cross fingers :) )- it's just an Aikema hub motor...

PostScript My mother in law came up for the weekend and had a go on the folder - she was blown away. She loved how light it is(including 36v 10Ah bag battery + pannier it is 16.3kg) to get out and put away and how easy it was to pedal with no assistance and how comfortable the pedalling...

Thanks all, yes 3 was the only one that was dangerous, I'll report that . 1 was discourteous, she should have just waited rather than overtaking into my lane. 2 was just dopey, there was no danger of a collision Oxford lollipop here I come

On Thursday, all within 5 minutes of starting off

Have a look at the tweets written by Farage, Tice, Oakenshot, Banks and particularly the exchange between the Daily Mail's Dan Hodges and Oakenshot. None of them accuse, just leave it up to Reform's credulous supporters. Anyway Farage has moved on to complaining about the BBC today (which is...

Pas sensor only close enough to the magnetic disc for part of the revolution ? Needs to be constant 1mm gap Or the motor cable isn't pushed all the way into the connector (up to the line)

I haven't seen anyone accuse channel 4 of that because it would be obvious rubbish and they would get sued. Plenty of Reform people have inferred it, the reason they haven't directly accused channel 4 is because they know it's rubbish and they don't want to get sued...

Does the pedal assist sensor have a tiny led light on it ? If you switch on the display, set to level 0 assist and (may need to turn upside down or lift rear wheel) turn the pedals does the led light flash on and off as the sensor passes each magnet in the disc. It is very sensitive to the...

Can you run the 85SX at 48v (for those of us a little heavier than 75 kg :) )

What makes it your favourite ? How is the AKM 85SX up hills ? eta - is it the same 36/48 V 15 A controller and Display as on your BBTS kits ?

Random musings on my part 1) The kit came with a KT 36V/48V 6 mosfet controller with max current 15 A, which seemed quite a lot for the little AKM-74 . Topbikekit also sell a AKM-74 48V version (I presume with different winding) - 48V 15A seems a lot of power for a microhub. 2) I wonder if...

Thats one of my favourite places - some great cycle routes

I had just googled it and this was the first result https://www.boilerguide.co.uk/compare/types/boiler-vs-heat-pump#:~:text=Most%20top%20gas%20boilers%20are,electricity%20the%20heat%20pump%20uses. My Mum and my sister both have heat pumps (installed in the last year) - both seem happy - can't...

Is that true ? You get 3-4 times as much heat per kW from a heat pump compared with the most modern gas boilers. Gas power stations are 60 % efficient, so if the electricity is generated from gas , heat pumps are at least 2 times as efficient
