    Banbury Frank - deregistered?

    We have in a way, an interest in generating a reasonable number of sales leads for the advertisers. The main sub forum for this is 'which bike should I buy' and Frank's posts used to attract a few hostile comments. Perhaps collectively we are to blame for his leaving.

    Banbury Frank - deregistered?

    sales leads come from active participation by traders like yourself, potential customers see that if you help a lot, then they think they'll get same good service from you later. That may explain why you are rewarded with a good month while kudosdave is a little downhearted because of the...

    Gearsensor - for crank drives

    the cure may be worse than the problem. It took me only a few tries to learn to reduce power before changing gear. Wiring in this sensor is not easy as the cabling needs to be watertight. A better design would incorporate the gear change signal into the controller like the Xiongda XD. Best...

    Banbury Frank - deregistered?

    about advertising, the ad banners are large and sometimes repeated on the same page (eg cyclezee horizontal banner at the top and in the right sidebar on this page). The old format had a row of small logos at the top, unobstrusive and presumably cheaper for advertisers. would you agree that...

    Banbury Frank - deregistered?

    that is bad news. Frank is one of the most helpful members. Count me in among members who shall very much miss his posts. I always take the sales pitch with a pinch of salt, just in case. Frank is one of the rare ones who added some UK manufacturing into his bikes. He builds battery packs...

    Greetings from Essex

    pop into woosh in Southend on Sea, they can give you a pretty good idea of what you can get in the region of £800 then scale up from there to your budget range.

    New Mosso dual drive bicycle?

    the front wheel tends to wobble a little - if the rear wheel has higher speed than the front (that can happen due to small irregularities in rolling surface), it will create a positive feed back.

    justin beba.... or just out of beba?

    I refer to this thread: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/two-years-inside-for-supplying-non-un38-3-batteries.14912/ That caused me to spend several hours reading up about UN regulations on the transport by land, sea, air of lithium batteries and the exemption from DG9 class when the...

    New Mosso dual drive bicycle?

    I suppose there is a limit on total power you can have depending on your weight and tyres? if someone has a controller specifically built for dual drive (60% power to the rear, 40% to the front), I may give it a try (crank drive + front hub)

    New Mosso dual drive bicycle?

    the casing in the triangle looks suspiciously like d8veh's. I asked Xofo about it last year, apparently it uses 3 controllers, two for the motors and one called the 'BOS'. I think that dual drive is inherently unstable, one motor pushes harder than the other without traction control is not good.

    justin beba.... or just out of beba?

    Dave, You are de facto BEBA rep on this forum, your recent posts about throttle and batteries although somewhat justified, still overall instill F.U.D. to members of the forum, especially self builders like myself. No wonder why I dislike BEBA.

    This is from their website: it's the tone of 'we know' that makes me puke.
