Wow - this is some pretty vicious 'ableism' - the word invalid is used here to be deliberately offensive, as are 'old and decrepit'. The claim about cheating says it all though - the man is utterly paranoid and imagines he lives 24/7 in some inescapable Darwinian nightmare of one-upmanship, so...

How strange. No specifications beyond wheel size, no prices and yet an invitation to place an order without a set price. Why would anyone want to buy one knowing so little? Does the price change depending on what the salesperson thinks you can afford? Have you guys heard of alibaba.com or...

Haha that's a good nightmare scenario - but I think the Tories would sooner do a German style grand coalition than join with the Kippers - who are just a protest movement against reality anyway.

Yes sorry I was being a bit pedantic, you indeed didn't say that, and I agree about the deterrent, and to its limits.

After watch YouTube videos about lock breaking using just bolt cutters (let alone battery angle grinders), I not only think locks are no kind of insurance, I think they're barely security devices. So there are very practical reasons why I have to strongly disagree with you and say the only...

It's good that you've got some cover, but what's its extent? Are you covered for property taken outside the home and are there any limitations or exclusions, or conditions? I ask because I would find it surprising were a non-bicycle-specialist insurer/policy to offer good cover without...

I suppose a used Montague Urban (£250) with a 2.2kg rear hub motor from Greenbikekit, £110 after import fees, oh and the controller/display/levers etc, another £70, then possibly £100 to get a bike builder builder to put it together unless you want to have a go yourself (mine took me two...

Google +the word 'pedelecs' gets some results

I agree with selrahc1992, I'd also point out that's a hugely heavy at 3.8kg,and illegal motor for a Brompton - you can get motors which are 1-2kg for a brommie. I thought the whole point of spending a grand on a folding bike was so as to have something lightweight. Panda bikes, bmsbattery.com...

I'm not sure if my smartphone belongs to me or I to it!

Thanks Shemozzle - excellent.

Yes I'm getting power pedalling backwards but not forwards. D'oh! I'm not sure about zero power levels. Thanks D8veh. So you're saying this disc needs to be mounted on the right of the bike.

Slighty off topic but does anyone know if this PAS install looks correct please? I'm getting no power from the bike using it, and the red LED on the PAS sensor only flashes when I turn the cranks backwards. Thanks.

Thanks D8veh. Edit - removed throttle, set display settings to 09:0 and 10:2 for dual PAS/throttle operation (per this link, thanks Shermozzle), and PAS only now works, albeit there is a small throttle error symbol message on the display (which I am happy to ignore). And of course the PAS...

Thanks d8veh. Crumbs, I'd rather not open the controller box I wrestled shut. And not keen on having a throttle. So this bike has to have a throttle no question?

Hi Shemozzle, Do you know what the setting is for PAS only mode? I've a feeling your technical Chinglish is better than mine, and my effort just now resulted in the bike nearly shooting across the room without any PAS or throttle input ;-)

What do folk do with all the excess cable flapping around on a kit install? I've managed to stuff the connectors into the controller box (I had to force them as there was hardly any room) but now have miles of cable hanging loose. Thanks.

That's very interesting, I haven't heard of that, what is such a law?

Are there no free corners of the earth to which the malign tentacles of Brussels will not reach?! I confidently predict Nigel Farage and Ukip will be elected to run China this time next year, by a landslide. The LibLabCon stooges can laugh but when Nigel is World King we will see who's laughing.

Yes 6 or 8% of value seems about normal for eg cycleguard. However do check carefully before committing to a home insurance extension, that it covers the objects, uses and risks you want it to.
