    Noob Torque question

    Geared hub is not mid drive. Mid drive is good too though.

    Noob Torque question

    You get geared hub drives. The stuff sold by woosh whisper etc use them. You even get two speed hub drives D8veh has come up iron bridge on one. The direct drives tend to burst into flames trying that.

    Get me to Glastonbury & back!

    I did Winterbourne to wellington and back on my bike one day the summerset levels are level. Use the strawberry line cycle path and there's not much hill climbing involved anyway.

    hammer ebikes?

    It's illegal, Direct drive hubs are not the best for hill climbing, geared hubs or crank drives are better. Otherwise standard Chinese parts. Safer with woosh or whisper or geenspeed.

    It's not clear. A off road switch is prohibited. Not eu legal. The cyclomatic and BBS 01 can be reprogrammed to off road mode. If it's the second way it could be uk legal.

    Watts is how many amps times voltage. Batteries have a rated storage yours is 8.8 amp hours. It should be able to supply 15amps for half an hour then the battery is empty. If you do get greater current draw then the battery won't even last that long. A bigger battery will give improved range...

    Two things offer to buy D8veh some beer he's Telford ish. He can tell you virtually everything about the practical use and setup of your electrics.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    New C5

    Almost but not half. It's total weight so bike plus rider, say 75 kg rider +25 kg bike =100 kg an extra 25 for the velo gives 125kg so 20% slower but after cutout is will be lower resistance anyway.

    cold hands

    Check you metric figures core temperature of 27 Celsius and your almost dead. It's 36-38 Celsius your body is happy at. Pedantic but this one is life critical.

    I suspect it's because unassisted it's easy enough to do 25mph on the flat. The assist should still cut out at 15.5 ish. Sales people don't you just believe everything they say.

    Ideal gearing for ebike

    Keep the gears. Me plus bike is 120Kg an extra kilo for the gears is nothing compared to the ability to spin up hill and still zip off down again at reasonable cadences. Unless you and the bike weighs less than 50 Kg that is.

    No it's a geared hub motor. At 50 kg it would be slower up park street but on the flat It would leave most bikes for dead. And down hil :eek:
