My name is Tom and I am an alcoholic........

Hopefully this is just a freak one off occurrence. Now that you have dispensed with that appalling 24 spoke rear wheel, which should never have been fitted to the PC in the first place, I'm sure that you will be much more satisfied. It's just a pitty that you had to go to the expenses of...

It appears that all bike chain is of the same pitch. Taken from Wikipedia: The chain in use on modern bicycles has a 1/2" pitch, which is ANSI standard #40, where the 4 indicates the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch, and metric #8, where the 8 indicates the pitch in sixteenths of...

I don't think it is a crank drive, it look to me like it is a rear hub motor. Quite a weedy battery too.

Again a bit of a guess. I think chain is supplied in varying widths, if you have one which is too wide, it might not be seating properly on the rear sprockets (making contact with adjacent sprockets on the cassette and lifting the chain enough to cause it to slip) Can you measure the width of...

That seems very odd. I don't know a great deal about chains, but I am wondering if they come in varying pitches, and if they do, do you have the correct pitch. I am at well over 7000 miles on the original chain and sprockets on my Pro Connect, but that is a hub gear system, so probably...

Your missing the point, the word ridiculous and journalist belong in the same sentence. Along with the words like, irresponsible, childish and twat. It isn't the task of imparting factual information that matters to the journalist, its taking a cheap and uninformed swipe at something innovative...

Legal issues aside, I can see the appeal of these bikes for trail riding. There are a lot of people who enjoy riding along, Green Lanes / RUPs etc on motor bikes, but mainly through a combination of growing public ignorance and a handful of irresponsible riders, it is becoming more trouble than...

Does the regenerative braking force fall away with speed? I'm thinking that it would be quite effective at scrubbing off higher speeds, but less so as speed falls below 10 mph ish. Nonetheless, this is an interesting thread and quite enlightening with regard to the BionX system. That battery...

I like the black frames. It gives them quite a stylish retro look which is quite appealing.

I believe that these bikes are Kalkhoff / Raleigh / Technium jobbies.

I don't want to insult you, but are you sure that the chain is the correct one? Does it sit nicely on the sprockets both at the front chain ring and on the rear cassette? By nicely, I mean all teeth engaged and the chain fully seated to the full depth of of the sprocket teeth.

The venue needs to be at the centre of both the electric bicycle riding and prospective purchaser population mass. Now it just needs someone to establish where that is. Alternatively, the event could be held in a far off country, North Korea for example. Then it would be just as inconvenient...

Chatsworth would make a good venue. There is a good mix of bike breaking hills, suspension pummelling track and flat smooth Tarmac. It wouldn't be too difficult to set up a circuit which takes in all of this varied terrain. Chatsworth is also prety central with a good link to the motorway...

Whooooa. More cream nurse! Joking apart, even though I have a diamond frame, I'd have no objections to riding a step through, they offer a few advantages over a traditional crossbar bike.

I suppose a step through design would also suit someone who has difficulty in getting their leg over.

That must be the standard for the S then NRG. I don't know why, but I thought it was fitted with an 11 tooth motor sprocket. I wonder what the 14 tooth sprocket off ebay would lift the max assist speed up to. I'll work it out when I can find time.

Yes, the S would explain why it doesn't have a 9 tooth sprocket, but I thought that the S came with an 11 tooth as standard. 50C certainly sell the 11 tooth as a spare, but no 12 tooth. A bit baffling that one. I couldn't find that link again, but whilst searching Ebay, it appears that...

I agree with the above two posts, with a bit of fineness, you should be able to gently tease the chain out. You might need to sort that bolt out too. If you have turned it six times, something will have loosened off somewhere. It's hard to tell from the picture exactly what it is. I'm thinking...
