    Are E-bikes overpriced?

    That's a good point, I purchase a PC case in the sales and the quality is beyond reproach and at the same or similar price point I have seen functional but substandard. On bike I have seen the same, I recently purchased a Shimano V-brake and installed it with ease, other brands have not...

    Lightening does strike twice in the same place .

    Most of the time, one has to arrange the valve at 10 or 2 o'clock and leave the slime time to move and settle at the base of tire, occasionally it can be fluked but best practice is to keep the valve clear of slime during inflating / deflating. As for the sliver of rim, it can happen, even...

    Are E-bikes overpriced?

    I agree, most likely rides it a few times & realises it a pain to clean, then leaves it the garage for 6 months until the BH moans and he "tries" to sell it for near retail price. There is a word for folks like that... The bit that gets me is people in general do not know how to get the most...

    Vat,duty,postage. and carrier fees.

    Part of it now I am afraid, factor extra charges in if you pull the trigger. My main concern on larger items is incorrect paperwork, anecdotally this can hold up shipments indefinitely.

    Over Volting a Yose 350w hub....Newby questions.

    You could alternatively, save a few hundred quid and purchase another battery a smaller one perhaps. The lower the battery voltage the more effort is needed to attain a fair speed and that can be troublesome in head winds. I some times require a fully charged battery for my journey home to avoid...

    Anomalies for chinwag.

    I swapped out the PAS and so far everything seems smooth. The strange thing about all this is, I have replaced several PAS units over the years that most likely died due to water damage however they usually either fail out right or cut out then in then die. My question here would be what...

    Anomalies for chinwag.

    I have a feeling both the throttle and the PAS have failed simultaneously, on the odd occasion when rained on the throttle throws out an error 1 but then corrects without further issues. The PAS often get hits with road water and mud. The motor just gets rained on never submerged. Controller is...

    Anomalies for chinwag.

    Over Volting a Yose 350w hub....Newby questions.

    I run a front Yose rated 250w (est 220 rpm) "36v" at 48v, when I had a rear (silver) 350w I did not feel it was all that great quality, the front however has done 10000 mile most on 48v. I have a dual voltage controller so I can switch out my 36v and 48v batteries. On 36v it maxes out at 18mph...

    52v Controller / Display options?

    If I was you I would check the amp discharge on that cell and don't over stress the cells. Good luck in your endeavour. EDIT if that's Uni pack power proceed with caution. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/ebike-battery-fire.41327/#post-618607

    52v Controller / Display options?

    Not to mention that could effect any warranty, I was looking at EM3ev, however from memory these are from the US so big bucks but quality craftsmanship. Best to steer clear of Aliexpress, I have used BMSbattery a company based in China I believe, however I max out at 17a and even reaching 17a is...

    I'd wear a helmet in London just to protect against muggings. As for I893469365902345609348566 I can only imagine your bike is post apocalyptically strewn with badger skulls... Another one for the collection....

    52v Controller / Display options?

    Make sure the battery contains decent cells, some times going big is required if you try and do it on the cheap things could end badly.

    52v Controller / Display options?

    54v ish is full charge on a 48v battery, you need to check the max amps continuous draw on your battery specs first.

    Interpretation of the Highway Code changes

    I suppose this is where intuition comes into to play and taking a slower more cautious approach in built up and pedestrian dense areas, me personally, if possible I would take up a cars space behind the car or stop beside the rear of the first queuing car, mainly because some drivers are unaware...

    Interpretation of the Highway Code changes

    No not legally, these are RULES and open to interpretation with a degree of intuition with regards to the situation and consideration to safety for all road users including yourself, I believe the new rules are there to encourage road users including pedestrian to read and foresee the actions of...
