Thanks very much to you Eddieo for your capable searching ! And yes - I'd noted the many purhcases but struggled to find anything further. Suspect your analysis is correct !

Excellent - thanks Paul , just found your post with the pictures of your Thorn and think I'll similar issues - parciluarly need to move the gear shifts from right to left and also modify the pedelec sensor. The motor looks smaller than I expected (and I'm putting in a 700c) and ther battery...

I thought there was Eddieo but I just cant find the damn things. Will keep trying. Incidently I rather hate the search funtionality on this site - its most unfriendly

how about using a waterproof cover for backpacks There are lots of brands/sizes etc like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0046Z8VMO/ref=asc_df_B0046Z8VMO8696713?smid=A20UFIL7MHKG1J&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B0046Z8VMO

Hi all, Does anyone have any experience of this kit (not the just the relaiblility/quality of the QSWSK motor as I know plenty has been written and many have it) 8F28F36B | 28"/700C Electric Bike Conversion Kit | 36V 250W Motor, 36V Li-ion Water Bottle Type Battery with Panasonic cells...

42 :) Also very fond of the last message from the creator "We apologise for the Inconvenience" so I shall forget about this definately-found-a-thing-that-might-not-exist striaght away as it makes my head hurt

I'm a bit confused by this I'll admit. Surely if they have definatley found a particle (to 5 sigma/99.9999% certaintly) and it certainly has all the properties expected of the Higgs......then its the Higgs, isn't it? Its not like its going to introduce itself(" ahh, CERN I presume?") or have a...

very good Vectra ! Agreed - not sure the cytronex C1 just needs finding like the Higgs. I think something needs to exist first ! This made me chuckle this morning Kipper Williams cartoon: Bob Diamond particle | Business | guardian.co.uk

Hello Ajax Firstly - I'd just check with the supplier to be 100% sure then if they dont fit you can send them back without quibble (or should be able ) Secondly, I would implore you to think again about these greentires. They don't behave like a normal tyre IMHO - they dont deform on...

My understanding is that the ezee kits can be derestricted - perhaps yours is ? This is most helpful review - Ezee kit is my probrably going to be my kit of choice for a hardtail build and this helps cement my view that its the best motor for the job (can't be bothered to cycle up the Downs...

I await invocation of Godwin's Law

Firstly may I state that I have never seen a Xipi bike in the flesh much less ridden one. I have never met Frank at Xipi or spoken with him. He is one of a great many sellers of ebikes and/or kits that are illegal on the road. Unlike many others he makes this abundantly clear. He also spends...

with a fistful of nappy/babby wipes grab the chain lightly - then with other hand backpedal the chain round and round. Repeat 1 or 2 times. Whole process takes 60 seconds or less. apply light oil on chain iits the 80/20 rule at work here (i.e. you can get 80% of work done in 20% of time - if...

ahh, that does make a bit more sense then as the 7 is a Nexus rather than an Alfine (confusingly there i s both a Nexux and an Alfine 8 speed though) The Nexus, whilst still light years ahead of the old sturmey 3 speeds, is not as reliable/bullet proof as the Alfine

Hi Mussels Have you really managed to kill an Alfine hub ? If thats true I'm astounded - i find they are nearly bombproof and that includes abusing them on a mountain bike setup ( as task they were not designed for) I'd be intruiged to know how many miles, if serviced ever, how abused it...

Czech engineers set to build six-prop Flying Bike surely this is the stuff of stilton induced dreams.....it cant possibley work. Can it?

[To really improve on all those means more weight, not less, a lesson that was learned many years ago on Autocycles and the VeloSolex. So we have that conflict of weight spoiling the cycling experience, but lightness bringing lower reliability and more maintenance necessary. Totally agree...

a big increase in battery energy density (i.e more AH and less weight) with a corresponding large decrease in price would, IMHO, still be the single biggest factor in impeoving ebiking. Not least becuase the savings cascade down and could be ploughed into better quality parts or funky extras...

Welcome fatal - good luck and fun with your new bike This forum, or a select yet vocal group, can sometimes be rather judgemental with anything that steps over the legal-for-road-use line. If you find this is not for you then head over to endless sphere forums where there is a more open...

Well, there are others here who can explain far better than me (or if you do a few searches you should find some lenghty threads on the matter!) However, in a nutshell - a 36v 250w will be more powerful than a 24v 25w. Specifically this is felt through increased torque. In terms of ride you...
