    Help! Disaster, Hub motor failed, discontinued!

    Good to hear your problem has been solved so easily. Multi sprocket freewheels are nowhere near as reliable as cassettes due to their inboard bearings. I personally think six sprockets is about the limit in freewheels for long life, so ten sprockets with the upper gear sprockets so far out out...

    Those police should consider themselves lucky, when Bristolians get upset at something they usually chuck it in the harbour. .

    "Super light electric bikes could soon be a reality..." ??

    It's entirely practical as supplementary power when available, but the industry is only interested if it makes money. That of course isn't the point, it's value is in cutting the filthy emissions of shipping to help conquer climate change. International legislation is the answer, "Ve haf vays...

    Boston's was a brave try at separating traffic from people's lives though, traffic below and parks and pavements above. Before its time of course and made more difficult in a country which worships cars as gods. Whoever wrote that Wikipedia article just enjoyed putting the boot in while...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I dont recognise those happening and I'm sure that's true of most. Sticking a mask on to enter a shop is the limit of on guard for most, the rest of the time just relaxed with others as usual. And the invincibility is a constant, only other people get Covid-19. These are why it's still with...

    "Super light electric bikes could soon be a reality..." ??

    We get some run over. I tried to save one of twins that was run over as they followed the sow crossing the road, but it was too badly injured having lost all its hind quarter use. My sonar does pick up things as as small as badgers and foxes or any shaped human, but I think hedgehogs would be...

    Thats bound to happen statistically. Although the infected don't suffer as much, they still transmit infection at a certain rate which will result in a stable infection rate at some level or other, according to the number of others infecting. .

    "Super light electric bikes could soon be a reality..." ??

    I'm sure the pedestrians would resist too, all those noises coming from various cars! As with all cars I have a horn for warning others of my approach, though as a responsible driver it virtually never gets used since it's not needed with good driving and the same goes for automated sounds...

    "Super light electric bikes could soon be a reality..." ??

    And also manufactured with the off switch that has to be used by law at present. I doubt you will ever learn. It's a sound which doesn't and cannot do what was intended, both as I've proven and as pentium has remarked about how uselessly quiet it is due to the law. .

    "Super light electric bikes could soon be a reality..." ??

    Very undesirable of course and a completely wrong approach, curing the symptom and not the cause. Already done, like many, my car has radar, four way cameras and eight sonar sensors around it for detecting foolish pedestrians and the like. And when detected the car alerts me with warning...

    "Super light electric bikes could soon be a reality..." ??

    Exactly as I've already said, useless. But as also said, that can't change without international aggreement on a single standard sound. The present mix of all manner of sounds at a sufficient volume to warn would be unbearable noise pollution, hence the legal requirement being so low. This...
