200 bikes in a truck? that truck must be about 60ft long. in case you haven't noticed, it's raymee's first post.

Eugene, I was thinking weight and compactness. Just replace the supplied battery pack with your own.

talking about boys and toys, I do like nealh's idea of two bikes sharing one battery, saving about £300. With £1,100 budget, you can buy a Krieger and build a £200 rear wheel BPM kit, using the Krieger's battery on the BPM.

the woosh Gallego may be it. Come with its own carrying bag. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gallego

it depends on what you want from your bike. If you don't have a long list of 'must have' features, then buying ready made is quick and painless.

I was reading up recently about LENR, it sounds promising. Just hope they make some progress within a generation. http://www.innovationtoronto.com/2014/10/for-those-wanting-an-update-on-cold-fusion/

We get 2C continuous discharge with Lithium ion cells, about 7A at the moment with 3400mAH cells. Assuming that Oxis get to 400WH/kg in 2017, will their '18650' cell be able to deliver 12A? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium–sulfur_battery Without that 2C capability, one can only increase the...

eddieo subsequently bought the AVE MH7 like he set out to. A year later, AVE went into receivership and his wife's MH7 went on ebay. Hatti was still lugging SLA batteries while starting selling the Gale at that time. Three years on, Woosh still have a couple of SLA batteries, the Gale has not...

Batteries made with 29E is 12%, about 350grs lighter on a 10AH battery, 500grs lighter on a 15AH battery. That's all.

our current mass produced 3300/3400mAH 18650 50g cells have a practical gravimetric energy density of 240WH/kg. Oxis claim that they will achieve 300Wh/kg in 2016. By then, Lithium ion would have made another 8%-10% increase in density. LiS may have arrived by then but hardly competitive.

Bike weight is a relative thing. Bikes sold by the advertisers on here weigh about the same for the same specs, give or take a few hundred grs. Things like comfort saddle, NCX seat post, mudguards, chainguard, rack, propstand, pedals, lights, bell (or horn in the Big Bear), adjustable stem...

@KD was eddieo right? probably no. He did not hold on to his purchases for long though. Perhaps that says something. He was quite rude to a lot of people, including myself.

these local conditions make the competition rather worse for existing retailers. They attract more retailers until the bubble burst. Just look at London, 8.3 millions inhabitants: 50Cycles, LEBC, Spencer Ivy, Volt, Electric Bike Store, Just Ebikes, TETS, Halfords and Evans. Bristol, 430,000...

I've been looking at hub motors that exceed the capabilities of the present BBS02 25A 36V 500W and suitable for riding forest trails. None of these hubs weighs less than the BBS02 and none of them can be built into an efficient e-bike, one that can be easily opened and maintained, does not wreck...

have you heard of the term 'minimum efficient scale'? The minimum efficient scale determines how many competitors can exist in the marketplace. The minimum efficient scale is defined as the lowest number of bikes sold at which long-run average total costs (LRATC, rents, rates, wages, tooling...

the problem is, he hit an object which could not be called a pot hole. In order to be successful, he has to prove that the object caused the accident rather than his losing control of the bike while braking sharply. I appreciate that the gas cover does not offer any friction and his tyres may...

I'd replace your 500W DD motor with a BBS02 25A 500W crank drive using your current battery. Job done in an hour. That motor will climb hills like a goat.

that's a very good job you've done converting the cable operated brake sensor to use on your Hayes Nine.

that's correct - it's very easy to replace the front brakes with hydraulic. If you don't care about the look, you only need to spend £18. Then cut off the cable from the lever you remove and solder it onto a 'normally closed' reed switch like this one...

it's true that you can fit just the front one - except the two levers won't look the same. Cheapest I found £17.49 front: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/clarks-exo-skeletal-hydraulic-disc-brake/rp-prod80605
