    I had much the same feeling on howling Brighton seafront today :) Although I kind of revel in "beating" the weather. I reckon a great bike and great gear (gloves , waterproof etc) can be a whole lot more exhilarating in crazy weather and be great sense of achievement

    Here is the 790 - it's for 36 volt You may need to solder the wires as you'll be very lucky if the connectors match Still yours if you want it

    Try BMS battery ? You can certainly get a 36v battery in your budget

    Looking online I can't see a reason why a 790 wouldn't work ok. On/off with 3 level assist I may have a spare one of these knocking about . I'll check when I get home and have a look at the wiring

    My comments received are largely complementary . Occasionally grateful as my commuter route has a 3 mile stretch used my the hardcore Lycra time triallers. "Please tell me you are on an electric !" I've had the odd " that's cheating" but my stock reply which varies a little depending on how...

    Lithium batteries on ebay

    These 9800mah packs seem to generally have a 2amp rating I'm afraid this isn't enough by some margin

    I can't see that 9.8amp rating anywhere . Is that max or continuous ?

    I think you may be confusing capacity with c rate Or in my way of thinking - the size of the tank with the size of outflow pipe

    Strange problem with throttle control?

    That may just be a mistranslation from Chinese With low powered hubs it is often advised to be doing 3 or 4 mph before engaging motor My 8fun advises this but the throttle will function from standstill

    Hi Mike Wilson, living in the South of France with too many hills and a baby!

    Just a thought from someone with 2 young kids 4 hours a day seems a hell if a lot of saddle time for a 1 year old. Not sure about health implications of doing this daily. It's a lots of jolting and juddering on young , bendy skeleton Certainly at one year old 4 hours probably involves...

    Strange problem with throttle control?

    Lithium batteries on ebay

    No reason why not - pack size and weight mean it doesn't have to contain expensive cells However - it's almost certainly no good for ebiking use (if that's your intention) The packs won't be able to give enough amps and will sag horribly

    Bike DIY noise

    No offence is meant cwah but couldn't you fit any noisy work within those times ? They seem reasonable enough in an apartment situation ? Appreciate if you do odd hours shifts then it could be a pain but I think it's probably something you'll have to live with Unless you can find another...
