Tim posted: …. £250 per space per year which can be passed on to workers by employers …. This could be a problem for us here in the Southwest if it goes national, were public transport is a joke. Most households have to have both partners working so they can afford the rent (can't buy houses...

I use cheap Aldi wrap around sports glasses. Here in the wilds of Cornwall - where every other car is a four-wheel drive monster, with deep tread tyres that sling-shoot stones the size of marbles at 40mph plus in your face - eye protection is essential :eek...

For power one realy needs large solar panels, basic users who dabble in solar power are using something like two 85w panels (170w) for battery charging. For Motorhomes and long life batteries then it's best to go for leisure batteries …. which are expensive. Their plates are thicker meaning...

rog_london posted: Don't mean to be TOO picky, but you'd only be getting 12 volts with rechargeables - if you had 10 standard AA cells you're looking at a good 15 volts when they're new, which *might* be just a bit on the high side for some GPSs. You are right; a high voltage is a...

It is possible to create a 12v battery with AA batteries; you could use a 10-battery holder from Maplin (10 x 1.2v = 12v). AA Size Battery Holders > Maplin All you have to do is rig up a connector to your GPS. If you used rechargeable batteries you could put them on charge when you put...

Replacing the SLA batteries is not hard providing you are the type of person who can solder and use a screwdriver. The biggest problem can be getting hold of the correct size battery to fit your case. I had a problem with my ebike, as the batteries were not easily available. In the end I...

55 psi on my Cougar Mountain Electric bike 65 psi on my none-electric Mountain bike 28 psi on my Kawasaki VN800 motorcycle 60 psi on my 3.3 ton Talbot Campervan :eek: It's a mystery to me how they work them out :confused: ----------------------------------------------- Cougar Mountain...

It’s the asinine UK law where the cyclist has to prove dangerous driving - bit difficult to do it from the grave. I suppose he thought the law would do it for him .... What a silly thought that was. I didn't see a mention of a hi-vis jacket - if none was being worn I'm surprised the "out of...

I read this story when it came out, but I didn't know if someone was making a late joke - it came out very close to the beginning of April :rolleyes: If its true, then it's a niche technology and will probably take years to develop .... Electric bikes will probably be all solar powered by...

Tests, this weekend, have confirmed that my Ping LiFeP04 battery is working fine. I was concerned that the short could have damage it. However, a 6-mile ride yesterday (in strong head winds) and a 16-mile ride today (lots of steep sections - making the battery work hard and me) have passed...

What, what! Tipples and hiccups? None of the green stuff here please, just keep the wine and whiskey coming :p A toast slur …. “God bless this glass and all who empty her” (Is that off key enough?) .

We hill dwellers may need convincing. If it does the job, then it sounds like a very interesting bike :cool: .

Be no good to Mussel's - nowhere to fit an n'lock :eek: .

ABCBW2 posted: Any advice would be great, thanks! I don't have a Windsor Powacycle but it's not normal practice to have to turn the key "on" to charge an ebike battery (sounds odd). Searching on the Internet shows that the battery should be charged in 4 to 6 hours, so something seems wrong...

Nice looking folder. I like the idea of the motor at the front allowing all those gears on the rear. That's possibly along the lines of the next ebike I may go for. Unfortunately, I'm plagued by hills, so I would likely have to wait until 2010 for the bigger battery option. What size are the...

I've read reports of shorting LiFePo4 batteries melting their internal cell tabs. So I was very relieved to find it still works. I retro-fitted the Ping battery when my electric bike was only 8 months old and it's SLA batteries were dieing. The battery is actually 12 months old this month...

I got very close to damaging my Ping battery today. Decided to try a bit more cycling this morning, as my hand has been feeling good the last few days (off work, recovering from carpal tunnel operation). I got half way to Tesco's (just starting the big long hill) and the power cut out (all...

Following a break in of our campervan (March 07) I refused to be terrorised by would be thieves. Unfortunately, he got away with it because there was no evidence of him smashing the window. I now have 24hrs recording CCTV, all products from Maplin. (Maplin > CCTV Surveillance) Regrettably...

Here's the web site - can't find a price - enjoy ;) N'Lock .

Ich verstehe :) Ouch - better check your handle-bars before you do stunts like this .
