they made things that people made in their own countries and often of worse quality but sold them for a lot less. Over time, that lead to economy of scale and gradual improvements on both cost and quality, then onto innovations.

I did something like that with my Brompton. I have a small 4AH battery for zipping around Southend and a larger 13AH for longer rides. If you use HL battery case, you can have 36V HL batteries in 10AH, 13AH, 15AH, 17.5AH and 20AH.

it's not the e-bike's fault. The battery is used to make up for the difference between energy required to maintain the bike's speed and the rider's own physical input. On flat roads, that assistance is useful against headwinds.

hub gear has perfect chainline, avoiding the dreaded chain noise when you change gear and prolonging the life of the transmission. I know that Shimano recommend lowering the power when used with their hub gears but it's rare that a hub gear ever fails with a BBS01B, I personally have not seen...

Putin must have thought that the West is so corrupted that we would not have the courage to do anything.

the Swytch kit has fewer connections compared to a common kit because it has the 5-pin LCD on the removeable case. You would need 9 wires for the motor plus 3 wires for the pedal sensor. The Swytch can reduce that number to 11 by sharing the 5V and GND between the wheel and pedal sensor. In your...

I did the £1 challenge once, about 10 years ago. The challenge is to feed myself for one day with just £1. Condiments and fuels are allowed. I found it extremely difficult to last more than the time of the challenge. Eating cheaply is possible but you have to have the time to do it. Still, I...

pot noodle is poor value for money. You pay at least 50p for 100g of pasta and the equivalent of a stockcube. It may be OK for emergencies but can't replace a meal nutritionally. If I have only 50p to buy food, I would spend it on a potato and a chicken thigh.

if you are going to fit a bottom bracket motor, buy one with hub gear. If you are going to fit a hub motor, keep in mind that you would not need the smaller chainrings with an electric motor, single ring crankset is fine. If you are buying a mens bike, look for a downtube with a flat top or wide...

I have the impression that the conservatives are prepared for a changeover at the top. The Queens Speech is un-interesting, the plan to sack a quarter of the civil service is going to cause a lot of problem, the plan to trigger article 16 in the NI protocol is a non-runner, and there is still no...

Same. Both have 20A controller.

they said in their studies that 94% of the accidents don't involve the hire e-scooters, so they have to make guesses. Their first guess is 20,000 e-scooters are from the hire companies, 730,000 from other sources. I don't know how they come up to this estimate. Only accidents involving hire...

you have to fit a pair of torque arms, so it does not matter (the torque on the motor axle is clockwise on the left side, anticlockwise on the right side) but for aesthetics, the middle picture looks better than the first.

your Labour councillors were perhaps Corbynista which they no longer are.

I like this comment among the replies, 'someone dropped a pravda bomb'.

that's not much of a problem. The motor is tied to the frame with a mounting bracket so does not rely on tightening the M33 nuts to resist the rotation when power is applied (the anti-torque bracket has a bolt going between the chainstays where you usually fit a two legged propstand).

if you are going to use a secondary chain then the 48V TSDZ2 may be worth a look. Assuming that you ride on private land, there is this solution from GNG, they do also road legal kits:

yes, it is. It's not an offroader but it has Suntour NEX25 65mm front suspension and comfortable 2" wide tyres. There is a member's review here: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/woosh-santana-3-review.41725/

If your wheel is 26", I think you need 217mm 13 gauge. Check with a ruler to be sure.

Hi Helen The Santana 3 would suit your height but is a step through bike - maybe of interest still? Sorry for Tony's misunderstanding - I think he needs to go to Specsavers! Hatti
