Someone needs to come up with a throttle that looks like a retro bell !

Yep so on highest assistance and peddling the throttle wouldn't make any difference (other than acceleration from a standstill) up to your set pedel assist limit (25kph) but the throttle would keep the assistance beyond 25kph when open up to whatever you set the throttle top speed (on the motor...

Yep I agree on avoiding the area even if it means a longer detour. Maybe change your shift pattern to finish earlier too for a couple of weeks. These goons will move on to something else to entertain themselves

Maybe it's time in addition to upping to 18a to also fit a throttle with a higher assist top speed (in the controller settings), you can still peddle like hell but with the throttle open it'll overide your normal 25kph pedal assist fixed top speed

Looks like a Hyundai i20 possibly the n line version

always an option to add a third in the form of a rivnut. add some velcro straps, my hailong on a Boardman frame aint going anywhere

Yep, whatever floats yer boat. I was wondering about mid drives on the basis of how durable the Nexus 3 speed when paired with a mid drive. Plus I have a Bafang BBS01 mid drive as a spare. If it munches the geared hub with the extra grunt then its a non starter

Some cracking deals on Vitus bikes at the moment Has anyone ever converted a 3 speed Nexus hub geared bike with a Bafang 250w BBS01 ? There's a great deal on one for 260 quid...

Another vote for cycle.travel to plan routes and then export the gpx files to komoot for turn by turn navigation. Been using this combo for the last few years and it's served me well. As mentioned, Komoot lifetime worldwide maps can be had for sub £20 when on offer

They say it has a built in tracker

There was a discussion on these bikes a while back, the co founder was responding to questions, but not offering much detail on the specs, battery cells, motor type etc Most pointed out the positioning of the on/off battery switch and charging cover, right at the bottom near the bottom bracket...

There were some good deals on NCM bikes from Leon Cycles but most of the cheaper ones areout of stock now. Not sure if they will restock. Fat bike still in stock at £899 https://www.leoncycle.co.uk/all-bikes/

bolt one of these onto your handlebars, problem solved https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dog-Barking-Alarm-with-a-Remote-Control-External-Dog-Roaming-Free-Sign-/252404295161?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p4429486.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Got any jobs going at your place Matthew ?, same shifts pattern please, 20 days off, 5 days on I can dream.... Always enjoy reading your write ups. I can see from your pictures what draws you back again and again. One day will get up there, still hope to do the LEJOG one day albeit most likely...

Value for money I think is what most want, the same here. Plenty of members have top end Cube, Haibike etc £3k+ bikes here, and plenty of members have £500 or less kits fitted to donor bikes and everything in between.

Not putting the company down, just fed up with these range claims. There should be some kind of benchmark parameters otherwise you can claim whatever you want. At least with the Bosch range finder calculator you can add rider weight, bike weight, terrain, rider effort, gear type, tyres etc to...

looks like a 198wh battery and up to 70 mile range with that. gotta love these range claims, must be ex VW engineers working for them

£1k for a hub motor kit with a tiny battery ? Bargain. I'll have one for me and 9 to sell on Ebay, I'm bound to make a killing.

Thanks guerney. I've got self amalgamating tape on my shopping list, I reckon that and heat shrink will keep things dry. I'm lucky to have enough parts for another BBS01b build on a Boardman hybrid base. Gonna keep this bike for dry use and long tours here in the UK and when I go on tours to...

Well fitted throttle, took bike out today and could I get it to go wrong ? No, performed perfectly, no PAS drop outs whatever I threw at it. Turn off, turned on, throttle on and off, assist levels up and down, smooth and bumpy terrain etc etc I can only assume the problem will resurface at...
