You are going to have to tell us more !

It's the controller that "supplies" the power, not the motor. The maximum current that the controller can supply is the limit to the power. This determines how easily it will go up hills and how heavy a rider it can accommodate. The motor will have a maximum "no load" speed. Supplying more...

The main thing is the condition of the battery - if you have a voltmeter, check that the battery charges to >=41.5 volts . The only way I know of really checking is to take it out on a ride and see how far you can get. I think Woosh will have replacement batteries but they end up quite a big...

France spends 26% more per capita on healthcare than the UK Germany spends 55% more per capita on healthcare than the UK. The USA spends 300% more per capita on healthcare as the UK. (2022 figures were the latest I could find) Of course, you need to take into account the age profile of the...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_man_of_Europe Throughout the 1960s to the 1980s, the term was also most notably used for the United Kingdom when it lost its superpower status as the Empire crumbled and its home islands experienced significant deindustrialization, coupled with high inflation...

I'm certainly not excusing the Labour government - it was explicitly criticised in the inquiry report, but the harshest criticism was levelled at the Coalition government and it's bonfire of red tape. The inquiry found that the government was “well aware” of the risks posed by highly flammable...

Grenfell United's reaction https://x.com/GrenfellUnited/status/1831270993144189426 "The system isn't broken, it was built this way"

I was thinking about how light you could make a 20" folder ebike - there was this on Ali Express but it was a carbon fibre frame and forks - would you need to change to steel forks to convert ?

What motor and battery do you use ?

I think she is a remarkable politician - no wonder Murdoch set the price of the Sun's support in the GE was that Starmer get rid of her

15kg is not that light, especially with only a 250Wh battery If you used a hub motor (1.6kg akm74 or 2 kg akm100) + Woosh 360wh bag battery (1.8kg) and a few hundred grams for a controller and little lcd then you could do a kit for around 4kg or even slightly less

I'm not sure it matters that much when you are actually riding it , more carrying it around and stowing it away. There was this new folder that I thought about as well - steel front forks, so suitable for front hub motor , mechanical disk brakes (which could be upgraded to hydraulic for £30) -...

Go for it - just check if it has steel front forks ? if not you could do a rear hub conversion using an AKM100 possibly (2kg) https://www.topbikekit.com/1tbk100ad-frontrearcassette-36v250w-gear-hub-motor-36holes-with-16-2026inch275inch700cc-wheel-rim-p-1038.html?zenid=4be60ab067b2epr67peq40dst4

I end up using my (wife's ?) little folder quite a lot, it is ideal for nipping to the shops or for errands. I admit to enjoying the reaction from people of this big burly 6'4" man powering along at quite a speed (thanks to the 11t freewheel and akm 74 motor / KT 36v / 15 amp controller) on...
