Problems plural I suspect, pathological empathy deficit, personality disorder, justified inferiority complex, among other things. When I read things like this it reminds me how much I think one cycle cam isn't enough. I want a second one recording the drivers hysterically honking me for riding...

Does this apply with new batteries too? Basically I'm buying a 14.5ah 36v battery but want to use a 4ah charger to charge it up during rest stops while on a biking holiday, for a few days or weeks in a year, otherwise using a 2ah charger.

It's said we undervalue our time compared with our money which is why we queue for two hours to save a pound on a tankful of fuel before a price rise. I also would worry on the safety front especially given you have extra people to factor in. If you can wait until mid or late Feb (check with...

Gotcha. Yes you'd be right if the only applicable law was in contract. I think it's one for the police. I might be wrong, I was never good at the black letter criminal law. Reckless arson- possibly giving rise to a crime-prevention role for the police...

What about bypassing the Trading Standards sluggards and just going straight to the fire brigade? I've been studying consumer law on and off for a decade and I never fail to be disappointed by the sort of unaccountable, un-ambition and lethargy TS manifest behind their wall of uncontactable...

The last time I saw a Dutch policeman he was looking seriously chilled... But yeah good question anyway

That sounds good, could I get a link please? Thanks Actually can I also ask how you find the NCX, in the way it pulls the seat backwards , is that comfortable and likely to be ok for anyone whose back is creaky?

I can see that what you're saying is capable of being true - if the abusiveness was really really severe - but even then I doubt any police officer or judge would wish to charge or convict, except in the most extreme circumstances. I don't think the Public Order Act was designed to stop people...

£22.75 for an SJ4000 clone from Singapore although seems to be of the type Tillson warned against. If inferior, could always sell on Amazon and make a profit...

Ah, but then you'd have to strip out the loss of the exchequer income (the Norwegians put theirs into a trust whereas we used ours to pay our expenses), which might have led to different outcomes affecting the final figure. Plus no point in saving if it means many will be too dead to enjoy the...

Very strange - surely an account with prior transactions would be traceable, suggesting he literally bought someone else's account. Although I just can't see how he'd convince anyone to pay by a non-traceable method eg Western Union.

Paypal have improved recently but there are a couple of pitfalls, a few months ago they increased the time for a buyer protection claim from 45 days to 180 days, but, it is only for "registered UK users", whatever "registered" means in practice: I don't know at what point one ticks that box...

Because of your wife's hips I suspect the woosh zephyr cdn (crank drive, and smaller than the zephyr-b) will require too much rider input - your wife will have to pedal a lot. I wonder if buying a folding bike with the right frame etc, and having it converted with a woosh or oxydrive (or other...

Given the seller is in Europe and a volume operator, that means they've probably got a PDQ or other facility for taking card payment, which in turn means bigtime purchase protection from your card provider.

Excellent. Thanks, I've got Bafang SWXK 250w 36v and a Bafang CST 180mm 250w 36v, both marked 205rpm. Do the motors automatically draw the same wattage at the same load, regardless of the controller wattage? So in a sense the wattage on the controller might be relatively immaterial...

I'm not aware of a great scooter pollution crisis requiring relocating emissions towards power station sites, or scooter affordability crisis. I'm just not aware of a need for this solution at all. Heaven knows who funded it but they're going to get almightily frowned upon by whoever they're...

I've got the same display, elifebike call it the 861 series display, which this company seems to also, who claim to be a manufacturer (the website is posh so i think they are..). They list 350w controllers with 18a and 450w with 22a. It might be worth emailing them to see if those controllers...

Excellent, thanks Flecc

Also quite interested in whether camping worked for any ebikers, what with charging facilities, theft issues,also weight of kit. There is a thought in my mind of getting a used folding 26 inch bike to convert, in case of needing to put it on regular transport eg a bus or liftshare trip back...

Thanks everyone for replying. I'm sorry if I misled folk - I've actually bought almost all the kit already, so it's really a question of whether I would take 3.5 hrs to charge the 14.5ah battery after buying a 4a charger, which seems like it would liberate me from supervising the charge for the...
