    Ebike derestrictor

    This thread is fascinating but way beyond my ken The reed switch worked well for me a couple of years ago when connected to a controller that has one of those loops for speed limiting. Magnet on a retracting belt clip and Bob's yet uncle. A bike that goes like clappers until you get off. Then...

    Look what the postman brought..

    It is relatively easy to buy decent cells loose But so very many ready made, shrink wrapped light packs contain junk cells. A holder like this enables you to source your own cells. But still retain the plug n play simplicity of a ready made pack. To date I've been buying decent cells and...

    Brexit impact on our hobbies

    Trading up ... to what?

    Hello Sounds like a crank drive would suit. If you want off the peg then maybe try a Bosch driven bike or two If you convert yourself then you can keep the throttle in addition to pas. Highly tried and tested is the bafang bb02 kit. Woosh bikes in. The UK are largest supplier I believe. Good...

    Upgrade?

    Short answer is yes , you could remove the motor and put a higher wattage motor on But, and it's a really big but, You will also need to change the battery and controller So IF you can find a battery that fits with a BMS capable of powering a higher wattage motor. And a suitable controller...

    Why Derailleurs gears?

    Not really true , alfine 8 have a solid if niche following in the mtb space Proven to be near bullet proof over a good 5 years. Maybe not good for the most extreme of riding.....but then neither are most bikes and their other components
