    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Has anybody got a spare pair of reading glasses that they can lend to Old Groaner. He's misplaced his and can't find them, so he's unable to read the Guardian and show us proudly what he's found in it today.

    Voltage of LCD?

    That's simple then. The green wire goes to the LCD (whichever wire you decide to take the power from). In that wire you put the fuse (if you have one), then it carries on to the switch. the black and white wire goes to the positive side of the lights. If you have more than one light, you split...

    Voltage of LCD?

    If you connect to the red wire, a fuse isn't really necessary, but if you connect to the blue, you need one to protect the LCD in case of a short in the lighting circuit. I'm not sure what current the LCD can provide. I'd guess around 500ma of which maybe 100ma would be required by the...

    Conversion for a Dahon Glide (24" wheel, narrowhub).

    328 rpm will be too inefficient at low speed, so it'll lack power, overheat both your controller and the motor itself at the same time as drain your battery quickly. Running the Woosh motor in a 24" rim does exactly what I just said above. You need a 36v 201 rpm version. When run at 48v, it...

    Battery life in the cold

    I think minute amounts of alcohol in the air has more effect on battery range than temperature. I've noticed that I use about 7wh/mile from the battery on a normal ride, but if I stop off at a pub and have a few drinks, afterwards, my consumption goes up to around 12 wh/mile. The more drinks I...

    Battery life in the cold

    Surely, if that were the case, the battery would become warmer.

    Voltage of LCD?

    I don’t see why not. The current in the red wire is only limited by its size because it's connected directly to the battery wire inside the controller. You could probably run them off the blue wire if they don't take much current. That would switch them on and off with the controller when you...

    Battery life in the cold

    I still say this is a myth and I'll tell you why. Firstly, I can't remember anybody ever coming on here and saying how much further they noticed they could go when it's hot. Secondly, if you charge the battery in the house, it gets the same charge as normal. You can't destroy that charge, you...

    Sorry for a newbie question. Turn off thumb throttle.

    Throttles are not illegal in any country as far as I know. You can have one that opearates up to 6km per hour or have one that only works when you pedal. There are often settings in the LCD that allow you to set its mode of operation. If you want to get rid of the throttle for whatever other...

    I'm not an expert because I have only ever triesd the one. I've done a bit of research before I bought it 8 years ago and some since when I was thinking of upgrading to one with a screen. All I can say is that it's simple to use and it works. One thing you have to be careful of is wheel size...

    Review MiRider One

    Don't be lulled into false security by that battery gauge. With 2 bars showing, you wouldn't have been able to go much further. The gauge isn't linear. it's always good to run your battery right down once so you can see how the gauge behaves. Bear in mind also that the battery will sag when you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Can somebody make a rational explanation of this for me please. I've just seen a clip of Biden's latest rally in Warm Springs, where there were about 30 people in the audience and hardly a sound as Biden walks on the stage. Every single Trump rally is packed beyond capacity with cheering...
