There are cyclic load changes at the bars every pedal stroke as the arm forces change to balance the pedal forces. Anything with the ability to move will, and low level noises will be the result. It should be possible to reproduce the noise when stationary, possibly needing a second person's...

Work out where the noise is coming from by spinning the wheel whilst off the ground. Not many sources. Freewheel / cassette? Brake? Something rubbing?

Yes, quality cells can provide higher current and so higher power with less voltage sag. But the larger the battery (capacity in Ah) the smaller the problem. If your riding is likely to be relatively flat not too much to worry about, but decent batteries are not that expensive these days. Don't...

One of my solar trailer batteries has exactly the same case, and it is a cheap generic Chinese thing. So I would guess your trike is a generic, simple two wire system, in which case in the worst case any generic battery with the matching base they are supplied with can be substituted. You just...

Those tyres are rather puncture prone, but Halfords don't offer many options. Check the rim width if you decide to go Marathon Plus: many 406 rims are only 19mm, and I can't get the wider 47-406 to seat on my first set of trailer wheels.

Tru? Assume you mean through axle?

If you resume, why does heavy rain affect the gear changes/sensor behaviour?

How many miles each way, how steep the hill, maximum budget? Quick look at the Pendleton online shows £1099 new, so how much money, how old in both years and mileage is the secondhand one, do you know its history? Two issues with it anyway: rim brakes not good. Too much maintenance required...

Sometimes year of manufacture is included on labels. Look at the battery and any EAPC markings. And try asking the seller.

Just on the drivetrain question, you could fit a very decent Shimano setup with long term perfect indexing for probably cheaper than a bike shop might charge to fix what you have. My original 9 speed Alivio was rubbish. After the first couple of months, wouldn't go a week without constant...

Cup and cone front wheel hubs plus a 10mm maximum length rear axle plus smaller 1/8" ball bearings make passable trailer one sided wheels. About 50mm of axle available for bolting on. Needs care to get proper wheel alignment, but good for 40-50kg.

A picture of labels, stickers and engravings will help identification. If it is a motor intended for a 20 inch wheel, it will have a nominal rpm of about 328 at 36V, which is a bit fast for legal bikes with bigger wheels. There is a long recent thread about another 328rpm motor in a bigger...

A 2kW mains panel heater is a suitable load for a 36 or 48V battery if you want to run it lower and see the full capacity. You have to monitor it if you don't trust the LVC, and as with all electrical experiments, a fuse in the circuit is good practice.

700c is the wheel size, and is the road bike designation for the largest commonly found wheels. The 700 is overall diameter including tyre in mm, so not exact in real life. The 40-622 is the tyre size, 40mm wide. The 622 is the diameter of the seat of the rim where the tyre beads sit. Off road...

Maybe you should follow your own advice before posting on forums in countries with laws! Or perhaps you are another AI idiot?

One final? detail... Try and get a charger of 4A or so output if you are likely to need midday top ups. 2A is slower than watching paint dry. 4A is well within capability of any battery over 10Ah. Roughly at 2A, an hour's riding needs 2 hours charging. 4A it is an hour for an hour. My winter...

Increase the energy use and decrease the range if you will be a heavily laden tourer! Same if likely to be hilly. An overseas ebike tourist will be an object of interest, so expect locals to be curious, interested and helpful. Which means if you need a midday charge, you'll probably only have...

Valuable insight, research and experience which might be worth highlighting in a thread with a title that draws attention to it. Will appear better in search for future sufferers!

Collection only sale is straightforward. Posting requires proper documentation and notification of the carrier, and although companies seem to be able to manage that in the UK, it is very expensive for individuals if available. The risk levels make this regulation one it is best to comply with.
