AI knows about as much about Shimano brakes as the ginger cat walking through my front garden right now. Many Shimano brakes don't even have a bladder in them. I suppose you could ague that what it said is correct because it qualified the comment with "according to bike shops", but, of course...

You could die breathing air with no CO2 in it. To die from CO2 poisoning, the level would have to be much higher than 2%. You start to have serious reactions at about 10%. The HSE guidelines are 1.5% for short-term exposure, but you wouldn't die from it. CO2 Concentration Health Effects...

They'll probably work, but you might need to adjust the sequence of the wires in the motor connector.

Doesn't the frame have a non-standard drop-out on the left side? Look at the inside face of the drop-out. I seem to remember somebody saying something about doing it, but I don't know the details.

No. He decided to retreat after the cold North Sea water got into his socks, and he was also a bit worried about the crabs biting his toes after someome told him how big they grow in Southampton water. Don't forget that there was no over-fishing in those days and local crabs of more than a foot...

When you crush a 2 ton car, you get about £200 scrap metal from it. When you scrap a 10kg scooter, you'd be lucky to get £1 of scrap metal from it, but before you can scrap it, you have to remove the battery, which is a fair amount of work in some of them, then you have to store the battery in a...

It should be easy to fix by anyone, who knows electrical stuff. Where do you live? can you show photos of the damage?

I believe that you're mainly right, but some policemen are pretty thick, arrogant and tyrannical - often indicated by a badge that's like a black and white union jack with a blue line across it that they where on their uniform against uniform policy. These guys just want to impose their power...

When police prosecute you for speeding in a car, they wouldn't succeed in court unless they used a calibrated and certified device to measure your speed. An ebike LCD does not qualify as such a device, and it's likely to be a long way from accurate.

According to this, Jaguar registrations in Europe have completely collapsed, with only 49 cars registered in April. I suspect that the fact is true, and commentators are blaming their woke marketing campaign that would have put off a load of Jeremy Clarkson types; however, I reckon it's more to...

Still two questions unanswered!

What exactly do you want the bike for? Do you have plenty of money to waste? How heavy are you and what sort of hills do you expect to have to ride up? Are you good at fixing things and capable of doing bike maintenance? Answers to these questions will help you choose an appropriate ebike for...

He said "legislation" requires that it has a label, but he was simply reading from a crib sheet. My question is - what actual legislation in this country says you must have a label? Where is the act of parliament or the regulation that says you must have it? It's written in EN15194 that you must...

But you said 14 mph everywhere! 80w is hardly enough to move the bike without help from your pedalling. I find it difficult to understand what problem you're experiencing. Your wife has speed control, so on level 2 or whatever, her bike gives full power up to 10-12 mph, then cuts out, so she...

There probably isn't any difference. If you bought them in kits, the difference is the max current in the controller, otherwise, Amazon, Aliexpress and Ebay sellers' descriptions aren't reliable. Don't forget that motor's don't make power by themselves. They simply convert the electrical energy...

The one that leaves you vulnerable is the label. Can they seize and destroy your bike just for not having one, in which case the police don't need to discuss the validity of any other part of their assessment? The government guidelines say you must have a label or markings with the prescribed...

Something is wrong with your settings. When you're on level 1, it should give about 60w, which is not enough to want to do a minimum of 14 mph everywhere. How many watts are actually showing on the LCD, when it's like that?

Electronics either works or not. If it's intermittent, you have a dodgy connection or intermittent input. When a BMS shut's down, it switches off the LCD, so you have to manually re-start. Is that what's happening?

It's the resting voltage. The running voltage would be about 1v lower, then you have to consider sag when you draw power, and lastly, the voltage starts to accelerate downwards once you get past about 35v. Also, say you have a 15A controller running at about 7A. When full, you'll be getting 7...
