    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Who is going to vote for Johnson? His band of supporters vanishes steadily everyday. Justine greenning was on bbc any questions yesterday, she recounted that when she was put on the list of candidates for the conservatives the first time, the last question was 'did you in the past do anything...

    Pretty much so. The Swx02 is smaller, can take 160mm brake rotor, the DWG22C cannot and needs 180 or 203mm rotors. The DWG22C is slightly heavier too. If you have freewheel instead of cassette, then SWX02 is a better choice.

    250Watt whats it really

    I may have misunderstood you but in case anyone thinks that the heat is dissipated by the wires. It's only partially true. Most of the heat is generated directly in the magnetic circuit, the flux carrying parts (rotor and stator) of the motor due to the rapid changes in flux density of the iron...

    250Watt whats it really

    Ohm's law is not relevant for evaluation of motors. On average , 80 to 85% of the power supplied to a motor is converted into mechanical power. When the motor stalls, the controller will cut power to the motor.

    Walk assist: press and hold down the - button. The bike will push you along at around 3 to 4 mph. Start assist: throttle works up to 6mph to get you pedalling.

    Emailing the vendor before buying is a good move. You get a good idea how their CS is going to be.

    JC has every chance to-be reelected in his current seat as an independent. Johnson doesn't.

    Lishui controllers are not not restricted. They are usually loaded with parameters chosen by your vendor and can be reprogrammed by said vendor. I can for example switch between current control and speed control for example. Just ask your vendor what you need.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched bbc qt last night. It was difficult to see Guto Harri mounting an attack on the privilege committee in defence of Johnson. He was an OK journalist before he started working for Johnson but his tactics are now really offensive. I reckon saneagle, our own public defender on here, will...

    there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a kit: 1. avoid Chinese cells in battery. Battery cells are graded. Those failing A grade and B grade are sold off cheaply without branding and found their way into cheapest batteries. Also, if you buy batteries from a reputable UK source...

    I find his questions typical of newbies. He understands pedelecs law OK. However, as there is practically zero police interest in ordinary e-bikes, he unsurprisingly like many people on here, tend to pick and choose how much they respect the law. I blame the libertarianism.

    I reckon a lot of members are confused by the EN15194 250W specifications. The fact of the matter is that the test conditions are precise but impossible to fail if your bike is conformed to the rest of the specifications. You don't practically need as much as 250W to ride assisted at 15mph...

    We assemble them when needed. As it's not a big seller and also time consuming to build one off, we tend not to accept orders for Faro with 17AH when we are busy. We can build the Faro with 20AH battery too if you need 80-100 mile range.

    Woosh Woosh faro v camino torque?

    We can supply the Faro with both 8AH + 12A controller and 17AH + 16A controller. The latter delivers 45NM meter instead of 40NM because the controller is more powerful. The range of the Faro with 17.5AH battery is about 70 miles.

    I take it that you are quite handy with bikes. In that case, the best route is probably a conversion which will fit in easily with your budget and you can afford to pick and choose your motor and battery too. That's a pretty good kit for the money but it does not come with battery and rim so...

    If you go for a front hub, you need to keep the weight of the motor to below 3kgs. Heavy motors will break the relatively fragile aluminium fork jaws with their inertia.
