    Brompton q70 motor

    The Lishui controller with default firmware can't run the Q70 properly. Also, 18A is too much for the Q70, it needs to be limited to 14A-15A.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there are plenty of stories about the origin of covid but it seems that the White House knew a lot more about this than what it admitted: Gerald Epstein, former assistant director for biosecurity and emerging technologies at the White House Office of Science and Technology Police between 2016...

    Help! Recommend me a front hub motor

    the connecting cable is normally fed through a hole at the bottom of the BB shell or internally up the seat tube which is the way we plan use it to build our own bikes. Not yet. We agreed with the manufacturers that the firmware may need to be revised later as we gain experience with the BBTS...

    2A charger: 6 minutes per mile 3A charger: 4 minutes per mile 4A charger: 3 minutes per mile This rule allows enough time for balancing at the end of the charging period so it minimises fire risk. Fire risk increases kind of exponentially with high current charging so best avoided unless your...

    Which ebike to choose?!

    no, but there is always a tiny risk of battery fire. If you do take the battery indoors, keep it in a ventilated place to vent any eventual smoke. To minimise fire risk, unplug the charger after charging is finished. It's a good habit to keep a log book to record mileage and date/time of...

    You lose some voltage, so some capacity but the battery won't die from cold.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    lots of sneezing, dry cough, a little sore throat, a little headache. I caught the thing two weeks ago while stuck on the M25 and again two days ago on the Boulevard périphérique, stuck for nearly 2 hours in a sea of cars and motorbikes. Both times tested negative for covid. One thing for sure...

    Which ebike to choose?!

    The front disc brakes are hydraulic. If you feel any binding, take a look at the caliper. You want the rotor to be centered between the pads. If it's not centered, loosen the front quick release skewer a turn, squeeze the front brake lever, tighten the quick release and release the brake lever...

    Sadiq Khan's cargo and e-bike plan now that ULEZ has expanded to all London boroughs

    I reckon by 2050, renewables will have oustripped fossil fuels as source of energy. Even 2080 is not very far away.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Pretty useless, but I suppose they have to. That money would mainly go to the lawyers. Money is better spent stopping people to get ill in the first place. If I were the government, I'll make sure that government would provide employment of last resort and guaranteed a decent minimum living wage...
