I don't think it would be sensible to call them invalidity scooters on two wheels its just how most ebikes are configured in the world, so at times the motor still propels the bike even without pedalling up to the maximum assistance speed. You might want to concentrate on road conditions more by...

This is not an uncommon criticism of ebikes. Sometimes you have an indicator on the handlebars and the battery itself and the battery one is the accurate one because the circuit in the battery knows exactly the state of the discharge of the cells but the one on the handlebars is more of a guess...

I personally wouldn't assume a more expensive action camera would capture number plates better. Some of the very cheap action cameras have crappy 1.3MP sensors meant for security cameras and they have blocky pixels that capture a lot of light per pixel. I was mucking about with a action camera...

Wow, super impressive but I wonder how it compares to a full size gimbal. Sort of seems more like 2 axis optical stabilisation with digital image stabilisation added. To fit in a camera like that the mechanism most be extremely tiny and I guess a pretty small sensor physically to fit into that...

I think the £ is dropping in value internationally and this will have a knock on effect but I also think Chinese stuff is getting dearer on top. Many importer bike brands have moved out of China for production. Even in the US they are getting bikes made in Vietnam and Cambodia rather than...

I don't think they typically overclock as its difficult to make additional cooling in an action camera and when they move to a new denser fabrication process that is normally a new design chip rather than an old chip with a better fabrication process, however I think I read in the past on a...

You need about 12MP for 4k video because sensors are normally sold in 4:3 aspect so to do 16:9 you need a larger sensor. Also the advert states Allwinner V3 which is a very humble chipset, I think there was the budget V3s that did 720p at 60fps and 1080p at 30fps but the full fat V3 does 1080p...

As ever we totally disagree I don't like the pedelec law at all it restricts the weak elderly or disabled from enjoying ebikes I see nothing wrong with the original UK legislation that allowed for twist and go ebikes. Most of the world uses ebikes with throttles but here in Europe we have this...

Wording to me always seems wrong with regard hub motors. It's the controller which dictates power to a hub motor. It's pointless looking at the hub motor itself you can get direct drive hub motors that can use 250W controllers perhaps peaking at 400W to maybe 2500W with a high current...

3,000Km is only about 2,000 miles which seems a very low amount of miles to wear out a motor has this been used aggressively off-road mainly?

I've seen plenty of forum postings where heavy riders have destroyed mid-drive motors very quickly although admittedly this is more about e-mountain bikes which provide huge torque. I remember reading a heavy rider destroying his Specialized Levo on this first ride which was a Brose motor. I...

I'm a huge fan of Panasonic as a company but they are not a major player in mid-drive motors today, prebuilt mid-drive ebikes are now more likely to be Bosch, Brose, Shimano and Yamaha etc. Many of these models are built for performance and use lighter materials and have lower sound levels. They...

I'm sure I saw something that said ebikes help you lose more weight than conventional bikes and I think that was because people would use them much more often. Also being 200kg is twice the weight of an average rider or more so its going to be like the motor moving your oversized rear, stomach...

That's quite an abusive tone and I don't remember you mentioning Nimh previously. I certainly don't accept mid-drive as the most efficient. I did quite a lot of research on ebike motor efficiency using expert sites like Grin and there was huge overlap for efficiency and the most efficient motor...

I think generally infra red improves night time shots. Is there no way on your camera to force a higher ISO in order to make the shutter speed quicker and reduce blurring? I think high grain is better for seeing number plates than too long a shutter speed. I'll admit though I don't have much...

No point in aperture priority on a fixed aperture action camera its always the same. I've not seen an action camera with variable aperture and even an expensive gopro is a fixed focus lens without focusing. There is nothing really going on mechanically with a action camera at all its a fully...

Cheap action cameras still have variable shutter speed normally but you may not have control of that. The fixed aperture means the action camera is toggling between shutter speed and ISO to get the correct brightness image. Any action camera with a 12MP sensor or more is capable of true 4K...

It's a pain I know but if the UK distributor won't supply Suntour HESC planetary gears maybe a international search would find a distributor who will. https://www.srsuntour.com/contact/worldwide-distributors/ It seems unacceptable to me that these planetary gears aren't available to buy. There...

Not sure what is the best action camera for low light but I wonder if image stabilization actually helps as it downgrades the image slightly and is less effective in low light. I'm sort of thinking a front facing action camera is better as you have the bikes own lights illuminating the road and...

The search system on aliexpress is complete rubbish. For me it throws up lots of products not at all related to my search terms amongst the few items that do match it. Then when I click on an item that does look similar there are often other links on the bottom of that page for products that far...
