The white wire in the motor cable is a standard feature, and it carries the signal from the speed sensor if your motor has one. Generally, if you bike doesn't have an LCD with speed shown, there is no speed sensor in the motor, so the white wire does nothing.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but in case you don't know, the police issued a bulletin sheet, which was a sort of flow chart of what they should check for. It had a decision point for independent throttle or not, then the independent throttle line branched into pre 2016 or not. You...

That's right. The key phrase is "Reasonable grounds for suspicion of committing an offence". There have been various test cases that determined suspicious behaviour and non-co-operation is not enough. They has be some sort of evidence of an offence being committed. If you were observed going up...

All sensors work with all controllers. 12 magnet ones have the complication that some of them are handed, so, for them, you have to install them on the correct side of the bike. If you order a 12 magnet one, you have to check whether it's handed and which side of the bike it goes before...

It depends on what you call a pavement. There are plenty of places you can ride a bike that are not on the road. AI view: AI Overview No, riding on a cycle path does not constitute riding on the road for the purposes of the Road Traffic Act. While cycle tracks are often located alongside...

Whether anybody likes mid-drives has no bearing on the issue. The problem is that hub gears have to be unloaded to shift. That's no problem with any hub-motor because the motor will generally still give power when there's no significant load on the chain to keep you going when shifting. A...

Anybody can stop and ask you questions. The question is whether you have to answer or co-operate in any way. We've established that you have to co-operate when they stop you on the road, but even then, I'm not sure what they can do if there's no grounds for suspicion of a crime. This is what AI...

The question was what gears do you have?

It applies to cycles being ridden on the road. These checks and the others I've seen are not done on the road.

These guys being checked aren't on the road.

Hub or derailleur gears?

Do you have hub gears?

They often try those tricks on the Youtube auditors, who go around filming stuff, but they usually have to make a settlement from civil court proceedings taken against them. Here's an example: UK Cop ARRESTS Auditor And Loses Lawsuit! The Most Vile Officer I've Ever Seen!

I've been thinking about this. The police have the right to stop any motor vehicle and check it and your I.D., but a pedelec is not a vehicle, as determined by the European Court of Justice. In that case, in order to stop and check you or your bike, they need reasonable grounds to suspect that...

Be careful, you can get get shifting problems with a crank-motor. Bafang motors are worse than TSDZ because of the run-on. You can get a gear shift sensor that cuts the motor during shifting, but they can be a right nuisance on hills.

When I tried a controller that had power based on pedal speed, the problem was that power decreased when I slowed down going up hills. You need to bear that in mind if you want to include any algorithms that relate power to speed. Also, you need very high power for hill starts. You can't get...

If you have a legal bike, there's nothing to worry about. If you have an illegal bike, it doesn't look like you have a good chance of keeping it.

The only one I heard about was when the left side adapter/torque resistor thing broke.

If they're the same ones as I see on YouTube ads, they're completely fake. They show you welding with a £15,000 laser welder, and they send you a soldering iron.
