So the same numpty that buys an 'Off road' Cayene will buy it. See how far you get off roading a Cayene.

Ditto. Wife's had a big bear ls for about 6 years now. Solid bike, good on hills. Only now starting to consider a battery re-cell as the range is starting to suffer on our Welsh hills. Not bad 6 years.

I see what you're saying Flecc but, the Honda will have been bought registered, therefore traceable. I don't know of anywhere where you could buy, say a new car, and drive it away without reg plates. So I'm not saying ban sales but treat them as what they are, an electric motorbike that...

The one guy claims that they are no different to a push bike - how wrong is he. The officer was right they are motorised vehicles. How/why is it legal to sell them unregistered? I suspect that both riders may be compensating for a certain lack of anatomical presence !:rolleyes:

With Ali forks, check that the drop outs are in board on the fork leg. Otherwise the motor may not clear the fork leg (assuming suspension forks). Sometimes brake caliperslarger can foul on motor casing but this is cured by fitting a larger disc and mount adaptor. Apart from that almost any...

My Ezee motor (now with some 12k on it) did suffer a bearing problem early in it's life. The bearing in the motor casing was really gritty and had to be replaced. The symptoms were a sort of grinding/raspy noise and vibration through the handlebars. As Vfr says, the motor does come apart...

It was probably the pies !

If you've melted Anderson connectors you're definitely gonna have problems with bullits. What current rating Andersons are you using?

As a youth I was apprenticed to the G.P.O. (now B.T.). One morning, in the mess room, an older chap was reading the union mag. He read out a bit that said that the average time of survival beyond retirement for union members was 3 days. Of course these were all guys who'd lived through the...

Because they're in a protective box and you're not. For your own protection you have to ride defensively. Make sure you have seen/made eye contact with the driver, otherwise the only safe assumption is that they're going to pull out on you. If that means you're in the middle of the road and...

What you are suffering from sounds very much like voltage sag caused by current draw being supplied from a battery with ageing cells or cells incapable of delivering the maximum current. A 1Kw motor is almost certainly a direct drive motor as opposed to a geared hub. DD motors, whilst being...

I used to work for B.T. many moons ago, their systems worked on 50v D.C. So I can tell you that this sort of voltage can cause serious burns if mishandled. That's why there is a legal limit to e-bike battery voltages - 48v I believe. Once again what you are doing is not OK. With the scant...

For me, fortunately, it's not an issue as the nearest McD's is a 30 mile round journey away. Doesn't stop the packaging ending up in the hedgerows though - what is wrong with people? Here's a contentious thought. Put a 50% junk food tax on all take aways packaged in plastic, with the money...

Any motorcyclist will tell you that wet manhole covers are a nightmare. Corner across one and there will be a slip, I don't think you can automatically blame the tyre.. I've got many thousands of miles on Marathon Pluses and, whilst always aware of what is said about grip levels and am...

I originally come from Birmingham, therefore have seen a few redevelopments of the city centre. The 60/70's one in particular wholly favoured the car, with even pedestrians pushed underground into grimy pee smelling subways. The three lane inner ring road was a race track and the underpasses...

The lcd that comes with the Yosepower kit is the one that you specified when you ordered the kit. Vfr is trying to find out which one you have so he can help you. You are going to have to be specific, i.e. is it lcd3, lcd5 or what?

It seems to me that helmets first appeared for sports cyclists. Their greater speed and higher level of risk taking would seem to make this resonable. In the same way as rally drivers wear helmets but everyday motorists do not. However, as I think Flecc pointed out elsewhere, most bike...

According to the spec on the front page, it's 250w. Which do you believe? If it's twist and go on the throttle, as it claims, and you don't have to pedal first - then it's illegal. One thing is for certain, it looks like a scooter you will be endlessly pulled for not having numberplates, a...

Put a spacer washer in. I just have to say that what you're doing is not OK. The engineering and you're apparent knowledge of it, is suspect. This is creating a danger to you and possibly others. The motor, even at a glance, is obviously illegal and the backlash to this kind of thing, that...

A bright yellow Paramo Ciclo jacket for me, though it's a bit thin in winter. Pedals have flashing leds in them driven by microgenerators. And there's a 3 led rear light that strobes in crazy patterns. Mirrcyle mirror and no helmet for me, just an ear hugging wooly hat - oh it's black ! I...
