    Commuter bike for 6’1 14 stone man

    From the article " in the Flanders region of Belgium where a pioneering project has classified the s-pedelec as a ‘Moped class P’, which meant that traffic regulations bent to enable them access to cycle paths. Using this test pool, researchers were able to determine that speed pedelec users...

    Commuter bike for 6’1 14 stone man

    That in the UK have the same legal categorisation as mopeds ? I am under the impression that that's currently a very small market ? I wonder if a brand actively marketed them, maybe with a tie in with an insurance company. I think the regulations should probably be slightly different to mopeds.

    Commuter bike for 6’1 14 stone man

    I can't help thinking that having a class of pedelecs with a max speed of , say , 25 mph would allow more people to use them for commuting, even if they needed registration and insurance

    Commuter bike for 6’1 14 stone man

    I believe there is a 10 % leeway on the max assist speed , so if you found an e-bike which allowed you to set the max assist speed, you could take advantage of that , and set the max assist speed to 17 mph (15.5 mph + 10%). If you set it higher than that and ride in public (on or off road) it is...

    Woosh BBTS 68mm kit starts shipping

    I've discovered the current display option on the display. It's basically 3 amps per assist level. It does vary a little bit, depending on how hard I am pedalling (between 2.3 -3 amps according to the display) I tried increasing parameter 14 on the display ( max current) but I don't think it...

    Chain Jump

    I used this to size my chain https://www.parktool.com/en-int/blog/repair-help/chain-length-sizing A new chain quite often slips, mine started off slipping on the 11t cog but after 50-60 miles was ok. As has been said, adjusting the "B" screw to "wrap round" the cog a bit more helped with mine...

    Curious about the difference between allowed wattage for 250W LPM ebikes and normal EU ebike legislation

    Woosh do a 48v 250w certified motor with a 17a controller (by my calculations peak input power 816 w at 48v, more when the battery is full) https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#dwg22c-48v-kit I think this is optimised for heavy riders / hill climbing ability (IE high torque winding)

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    At your weight any electric bike 36v or 48v will very easily cope with that !

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Can you tell us your route - I will look to see the maximum % incline - to be honest at 74kg you are likely to fly up any hills with any of the options you are considering

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Yep. Also when I got mine Woosh fitted a new rear cassette on the wheel before they shipped it for a small extra charge, to make the install even easier. Fitting the bottom bracket torque sensor isn't difficult - the most difficult bit for me was getting the old bottom bracket off, but any...

    Ebike battery renewal

    @saneagle might be able to advice if this is a sensible approach

    Ebike battery renewal

    I'd be suprised if you can resurrect the battery - I wonder if you could bin it and fit a standard downtube 36v battery (and get a bit more range) and use the existing connections to the motor and controller ?

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Just to say I have used the Woosh XF08C 36V rear hub kit - it was brilliant (my niece, a medical student has "borrowed" it to get around campus) and will get me (100kg) up most hills with a bit of pedalling effort, although it's not quite as strong as the 48V Bafang G020 / H405 kit but say the...
