    why is this even up for debate?

    Sorry, I didn't know you were there and saw it. Why didn't you report it to the police?

    Ikea ebike controller

    It's OEM only. You have to ask Ikea where to get one from. Are you sure it's faulty? They don't normally go wrong. If you can't get one, you have to replace it with a standard Chinese one with LCD.

    Controller

    It's the speed sensor or the speed sensor setting. Without knowing what you have, I can't help you further,

    Roadrat Alfine 8 with G370 hub build.

    A 250w crank-motor loads the chain with up to around 5 times the force of a normal rider. A BBS01/2 also runs on a bit, so when you pause to change gear, the motor is still going and the chain is still loaded. They get round that by fitting a gear shift sensor, but a lot of people find that it...

    why is this even up for debate?

    The story migh be that a couple of guys had had a few drinks, saw the cyclist and thought it might be a laugh to bump him off the road. In that case, stealth might have been an advantage. The guy was wearing a yellow dayglow reflective jacket. It was the sleeveless type with the reflective...

    Ebike battery renewal

    Yes. They might be a good choice if you're totally vain, weigh 7 stone and can afford four of them so that you can have standing replacements for when each one breaks down, bearing in mind that the waiting ones will breakdown if you leave them too long without use, so probably a good idea to...

    Ebike battery renewal

    The battery is bespoke and has very low capacity and power. The controller is bespoke and very low power. The torque sensor is very hard to replace if you get any problems with it. Basically, the whole bike is shite. It's low power, low range and virtually impossible to fix just so that somebody...

    Good luck. BTW, if someone breaks into your house and steals it, it wasn't me, so it must be Peter.

    Which Vintage style custom / cruiser is best for general fun.

    If you already had a few electric bikes and you just want one to show off once a year at a show or show your mates down the pub once, such a bike is a great idea, but if you want an ebike for ridin g around on, you're going to wish you had an ordinary one. My advice is to get an Amazon 48v 250w...

    Should have bought gold. It's gone up massively since you bought that. In 2020 a silver Britannia was about £29. Today it's £33.50. That's +16%. In 2020 a gold Britannia was £1400. Today, it's £2600. That's +86%. Also, there's no VAT on gold, so you get a better price when you sell it.

    Fitting bigger capacity battery to a Swytch gen2 kit

    I worked for Keiper Recaro. We made seats and seat mechanisms, both manual and electric for Ford, Vauxhall, Rover, Toyota, Jaguar and RR. I did the Ford Q1 assessors certificate and ISO 9000 Lead assessors certificate so that I could give as much as we got during their assessments. Were you...

    Which Vintage style custom / cruiser is best for general fun.

    I think you'd get more fun with a normal ebike that you can use for shopping, commuting, touring and anything you want. A cruiser type is pretty inefficient and doesn't offer any advantages at all if you're pragmatic. It seems weird to me to limit the use of your ebike, just because you want it...

    Free public battery charging scheme

    Happy memories. I guess Funky Lynn and Morphix are no longer with us. Lynn got cancer and I think Morphix had health issues too. It was a great effort which I supported financially and in other ways, but I think it was fundamentally flawed. If you're going to carry a charger with you, you might...

    That's right, so if someone didn't buy a new car or go on a foreign holiday in 2004, they could be £70,000 better off today. Then you can think about all the other things that you bought that weren't essential, and it makes you a bit angry with yourself.

    If you had a reasonable middle management job, you bought your house fairly early in your life and had not too many kids early, then you didn't waste money on frequent new cars, phones, PCs, foreign holidays, Sky packages, drink, eating out or cigarettes, you'd have plenty of time to gain wealth...

    I used to come and check on guys like you to make sure you were doing your job properly. I was a first tier Quality Manager for 20 years. Maybe we met!

    All the education materials on the things you mentioned can be found on this forum with a simple Google search. Everything I post comes from my head, apart from a load of photos I have of the things I've done, which are on a hard disc somewhere, if I can find it. Normally, I do a Google search...

    Inconsistent power output with TSDZ2

    OK, I think you're going to have to open the motor for investigation. I can't see it being the torque sensor because it's intermittent, but there were some rotation sensor issues on both the TSDZ01 and TSDZ02, where they cracked and broke, or maybe it's just a wire rubbed through. The torque and...
