    Electric Fat Bike Interest In UK?

    the Bosch Performance motor is good but does it have good enough torque to go on a fat bike? if it's my fat bike, it has to be something like a 750W BBS02 with 36T ring.

    the comparison of the Haibike Fatsix with the Range Rover is interesting. Still, I can't see how Haibike can justify a price tag of £3,900 for the Fatsix.

    Electric Fat Bike Interest In UK?

    I should have said 'apparently, my source said that a fat bike would be seen as greener than a quad bike and I would add, at least, quieter'. That last bit didn't come from him. Personally, I'd wait for the market to establish itself before venturing in. I think in 2016, the battleground is...

    I think the design goal is a bike to go on muddy farm tracks, hence the CD motor.

    if woosh bring one in, it'd sell for well under £1,000 and it will have some special feature like a crank drive. Oops, didn't I say too much already?

    the fat bikes would be good on dry sand or thick, soft snow. Let's see... not in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Island.

    Hi All

    cwah commutes for years in central London. His solution is to fit an 8-Fun crank drive kit to a good but a little battered bike and keep the battery in a frame bag. They nicked his lock but left his bike intact, just to show that they can.

    Hi All

    welcome to the forum. where are you going to park your bike in London? a new £2k bike won't last long in a public place. Thieves won't necessarily nick the whole bike. They took tapash's LCD in central London recently, replacement for that is £100.

    BBS issues

    try this first: squeeze the brakes and switch on the LCD. You should see error 25. Release the brake levers, error 25 should go. Then spin the wheel where you fit the speed sensor to, if you see speed displayed, then the conclusion is you have blown one of the FETs.

    Kudos secret help with fitting clasp

    from memory, look at the inside of the clasp, locate a silver post with a thread through it. The latch consists of two vertical silver posts about 1 inch long, positioned on either side of the fold. You install the long horizontal screw (about 5cm?) through the inside post using a 2mm or 3mm...

    Kudos secret help with fitting clasp

    if it's like this one: then there should be a piece of black plastic attached to the safety pin. After you unfold the bike, you rotate the black plastic piece clockwise to lock the lever securely to the frame. The mechanism is similar to the Gallego in this picture:

    Probably sick of these by now? Which bike...

    That many have something to do with the special friction clutch on your Nano. Most hub and crank motors use one way sprag ball bearing for clutch. I always thought of drag as a result of an imperfect clutch on geared motors (hub or crank). With a crank motor, you can move the bike back and forth...

    From 250W to 350W

    the drop in climbing power shows up on your bike's LCD battery meter. The voltage display drops a bar or two or even three when you ride up a steep hill. The sag is inversely proportional to the capacity.
