    Space Blanket Poncho and Sock Liners on-bike winter insulation

    Paramo cycling jacket, layers underneath including a down gilet, Goretex overtrousers and shimano clipless boots with warm socks. Lobster cycling gloves. I've been so impressed with the paramo cycling jacket I just got a paramo hiking jacket.

    TSDZ2 OSF - Road legal in UK

    Isn't legality covered by what is written on the motor? If it says 250w 48v on motor casing then you should be ok?

    Throttle sticks open on full, flick of throttle stops it...

    I had a thumb lever throttle that did this. Just replace the throttle.

    BBS01B - Whyte Portobello V3

    Re the power tailing off, have you played with the programming? Could be the Keep current. I set mine to 100%, as have some other owners.

    Do titanium handlebars absorb much shock?

    A tram line bit my front wheel a while back, sending me and the bike flying, ending with a badly bruised and sprained wrist. To get a more upright position I got a pair of stuttgarter handlebars, raised the headstock up and back and fitted some palm grips. I now don't have to put weight on my...

    Goes from 0 to full power, controllable. Probably not legal, but ok in the grounds of my mansion.

    Help! Weight limits, BBS01

    I'd say it's worth getting the control lead and use either the windows program or the Speeed android app to tweak the motor. There are threads on tweaking the motor, it's easy enough.

    Help! Weight limits, BBS01

    I'm 85kg and have pulled a 50kg trailer, with bbs01b. I put a smaller 42t front chainring on to give me more hill climbing power. The walk assist should do what you want, my kit came with a throttle too.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    Used to have a pile that would've done it. The joys of getting on a bit.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    Hopefully, there'd be a zero in the middle.

    While responding about this in my local FB group the solution to the number plate position came in a blinding flash. Tattoo my arse, show drivers the respect they deserve!:oops::D:D:D:D:cool:

    Carry Freedom Axle Problem (solved?)

    The top flag holder flagpole grippy bit is just a standard elecktrickery compression gland, they are cheap as chips, just need a bracket to fix to trailer or possibly directly into trailer bed or frame.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    I prefer to use my voice rather than the bell or the Hornit. "Good morning, bike coming by on your left, keep going as you are" (aarrgh no Missus, other Left, ring finger side :D). It's a bit more friendly.

    A trailer for ebike or non ebike towing.

    I'm back, given it a quick try with the remaining pole, only .5m long, it falls over, spring too weak

    A trailer for ebike or non ebike towing.

    That looks very like the USA flag spring posted earlier. However it might be too strong, it's for a long aerial with greater leverage. It needs to readily bend 90deg and return, or the flagpole would still snap. Also a bit expensive to buy and try. I'm off to root in my shed for the door stop...
