Most of that money is going to be spent to sweeten people who have to live near the HS2. Tory's propaganda pure and simple.

8 FETs. Which battery does this neat job come from d8veh?

insurance against accidental loss or damage makes sense because the ratio value/premium is high - possible still good value for service but not worthwhile for consumables. Ask the actuaries, they'll tell you that less than a third of the premium is used to settle claims, the rest goes to IPT...

the woosh website says it's got 8-speed 12-34 cassette, same as on my bike (8-Fun BBS01). I can get up to 22mph on the flat on 12T, maximum assist (level 3).

On flat roads, a relatively neglected advantage of crank drive is the ability to multiply speed through gearing, I can easily get to 20mph+ with light pedalling, not possible with my previous hub motor. That feeling is like the years are simply rolled back.

do you know when is the next Redbridge?

I still think crank drive is a better implementation, given the same output from your powerplant. the Panasonic (2013) is indeed a beautiful beast and it is powered by a very potent 48V battery. That's why it outperforms the (2011) Bosch DU25 but does it outperform the Bosch DU45 or the 48V...

the xiongda XD motor New Double-speed Motor - Suzhou Xiongda Motor Co., Ltd. is not as advanced as the SRAM unit but will be easily obtainable through aliexpress. At the end of the day, it comes down to personal choice. If you don't care for the throttle then crank drive is better and if you...

Push boith the + and - buttons down at the same time for a couple of seconds.

hub drive is like crank drive stuck in just one gear. You may have selected a high torque or a high speed hub motor but you are still stuck with just one gear. Xiongda is bringing out a new dual speed motor to give it a second gear. Hub motors can only climb well if they are big beast with a...

The electric transport shop was started by Jamie McAlley (Anglia Ruskin 2000), 50 cycles by Tim Snaith (Oxford 1995) He was living in London when he started selling e-bikes - their shops were in their home towns. The last opening is in Hampton Wick, very nice showroom too. London has more...

a misprint? the KTM erace P runs on 48V battery with high discharge rate. I think 48V systems should not be allowed on e-bikes because it's too easy or tempting to get 30mph+ out of them. At that sort of speed, fatal accidents are very possible.

the location of those internet based sellers is determined by the home town of their founders - the bulk of sales is through traditional distribution, some 500 LBS that do both sport bikes and e-bikes and about 50 e-bike specialized retail outlets. The last few openings are in London, that...

the problem may be purely economics. The UK market is simply too small at present. An e-bike business needs a minimum of 3 employees and at least £120,000 gross profit from sales per annum to pay any dividend. Not many towns or cities can generate that much business locally, hence e-bike...

geostorm, if you keep the negative probe on pin 1 and measure the voltage on pins 2, 3, 4, 5 etc up to the last pin (40V) you get the readings more accurately. Anyway, according to your previous posts, the voltage collapses when the battery is under load, indicating that some cells mayhave been...

here is the wiring. On my kit, I have only one connector for the brake sensor whilst the pic shows two. I leave it unconnected because I have hydraulic brakes, only connect the LCD and battery.

the Kreidler unit is better looking than the 8-Fun BBS01 and the motor seems to be about the size of 8-Fun 350W. Still, the TCM looks neatest.

the Bosch small front chain ring looks like a good idea, reducing strain on the chain, assuming it has some kind of gearbox to keep unpowered cycling normal. Can't wait to try one.

And the new Bosch looks like this (I'd buy one if I had the money):

the Bosch looks smart - the Panasonic looks like it's pregnant..
