clear or nearly transparent solar panels (TPVs) lets you use them on glass, higher yield, 25%+ improves collection. The technology is here.

the fault is not clear cut from your description. I would temporarily disconnect the brake sensors then speed/gear sensor when the motor starts to misbehave and test only using the throttle. That would remove a few variables.

you should not use resistors to drop the voltage, the voltage at the end of a resistor changes with the current. Use a proper 5V regulator such as typical L7805. It's never too late to learn a bit of basic electronics but I would suggest that you replace the controller if possible.

Drill a hole w fit a left side pedal sensor like this one (fitted to a woosh Faro): PS: if you want to do this, check for compatibility with your controller.

The source for the 5v is the 14v rail. It is possible that the 5v regulator in the controller has blown

Assuming that you need to use the car for 100 miles a week 20kwh on something like a twingo. If you have 2sqm of solar panel covering bonnet, windscreen, roof and boot, you can probably run the car without fossil fuel

I quite like the Twingo. Rented it once on a skiing holiday in Soldeu many years ago, it's surprisingly roomy inside and fun. Renault make electric Twingos now.

just under 3kgs yes.

you have to look at the potential of the technology. Inertial confinement or plasma? To ignite the D-T pellet, you only need about 15kJ out of the 322 MJ. That's the important point. The low yield happens because it's a two stage process, the lasers hit the pellet's skin and excite it, the...

it has a standard 9-pin motor connector (3 phases, 3 hall sensors and speed sensor) so it should be able to run with any motor fitted with the same connector.

The new kits are supplied with a bag. You can still ride in the rain. Key advanatages: lightweight, preserve the folding mechanism and luggage block. They do not come with lock and keys like before but installation is now simpler. There are 3 cables coming out of the bag: PAS, LCD and motor. You...

Headlight function is not implemented on the km529 woosh sell.

Not this bit but I agree with the rest, especially the bit about government's agenda, limit the strikes then ban them altogether.

One more good thing about cadence sensors is their intuitivity and simplicity. You can probably build one yourself if you have to.

Who puts lives at risk? Steve barclay or the unions? What do you think?

Bikes with horizontal dropouts need chain tensioners. The diameter of the motor axle is 12mm (12mm x 10mm), the chain tensioner's ring has 10mm diameter. You can install the kit and ride without the chain tensioners for a while but you would have to install a new chain tensioner(s) for a...

you sell the first tranche to yourself, so it's 28p a kwh until you produce more than you use. I think if you have unused land, solar panel is worth considering.

that's true but there are other considerations like geometry, quality of the components, cost etc beside the pedal sensor. None of the shops can stock all models so you can compare every aspect. both cadence sensor and torque sensor are successful. If you are fit and where you live is not very...

that's correct. I am usually rubbish at explaining things, I found this brilliant explanation on the famous Grintech's ebikes.ca: https://ebikes.ca/learn/pedal-assist.htm

there are things to consider when you talk about pedalling sensors: cadence, torque, speed and current. the bike's electronics offers usually 5 levels of assistance to suit the road's gradient and riders' fitness, it is important to understand how programmatically the controller ramps up the...
