I'm not familiar with the Woosh but from what you describe, it sounds as if the battery meter is very non-linear. Have you completed a couple of battery conditioning runs (ie run battery from full charged to cut off). My Kalkhoff battery meter was non-linear when new, but after the conditioning...

The only thing which I can see that is remotely cycle related on that link is the Scouring Balls. I like to put them down the front of my Lycra shorts and and then go out and impress the ladies.

It probably would be possible if you could guarantee that the miles which follow the point at which you are extrapolating from are identical to the miles already covered. For example, in an extreme case, the first ten miles may be on level ground with a tail wind. Say the meter displays its...

Does anyone know what type of oil this, "Shimano Gear Oil" actually is? I remember that Magura used to claim that their, "Royal Blood" hydraulic fluid was actually distilled from the precious pancreatic secretions of the Giant Panda. And this is why they had no other option but to charge their...

How often are you supposed to carry out this procedure with the Alfine 11?

I bought a Cube LTD 29er earlier this year. I have been very impressed with this brand of bike, the build quality is very good, frame geometry comfortable and it is well equipped. At the moment, it has 2.00 Schwalbe Big Apple tyres fitted and it makes a great road commuting bike, so much so...

The voltage makes no difference to the power delivered by the motor under these circumstances. Both motors should be rated the same. The fact that one uses a 36 Volt supply and the other a 26 Volt supply should not sway your decision. As far as I can see, the battery connects almost directly to...

My 5 year 3 month old 10Ah Panasonic battery is still going strong. It copes with my 20 mile round trip comute very well. I reckon it would be good for about 30 miles.

This is very true and I have to smile when I remember that our idiot politicians think that the best way to sell democracy to an Islamic nation is to send a prince in a helicopter gunship to kill some of their shepherds.

I remember this now. You had a thread running about the bike a while ago. It's a shame you can't test the motor with a Panasonic battery, but like you say its a lot to lay out only to find that the motor doesn't work.

Even the weather forecast said it would be Sunni this morning but turning Shi'ite in the afternoon. Conflict everywhere.

The darkest places in Hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in times of crisis.

I had that Nexus hub on my Pro Connect. I don't think it's any good for an ebike, too few spokes for the extra weight. It is more suited to a lightweight machine. My experience of using it on and ebike is one of breaking spokes, loose spokes and annoying clicks and creeks from the wheel. I...

Good advice. I have recently bought a new unassisted bike and I am finding that I at least equal the pace of my Pro-Connect (I only use it on low assist). However, I may be guilty of pedalling at low cadence. I will try out some of your tips.

His name is Ethan and he's a tw@t off the local estate. Want to, "Chav it up?" Buy a Xipi, all the knob-heads are riding them.

A nice piece of video footage showing how seriously Xipi take ebikes, the safety of their customers and the public at large. It was indeed very exciting when the rider undertook a left turning car, on the left. This is something which I would recommend all such Xipi riders and Xipi retailers do...

I have been a Mac convert for 5 years now and would never go back to Windows. I have managed to wean myself off Windows and all Windows based programmes now so computing life is free from updates, anti-virus software, lock ups, slow-downs and all the other misery which come free with Windows...

I can recommend this stand too. They flick up if you accidentally set off with the stand down and they will snap off before damaging your bike frame if you overload them.

I suppose that they limit the power to keep the motor within the legal limits. I agree with you though, more power would be very useful for some people and as long as the top speed isn't ridiculous, I can't see why the legislators won't let that happen.
