    The case for separate std interface items?

    mostly. Chinese bike parts are mostly compatible, down to the plugs. To make up a standard kit, you'll need the following building blocs, each of them can be made by a different manufacturer: - motor with 9-pin connector - Battery - controller and LCD - pedal sensor - optional brake switches -...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    standard condition solar yield is now over 20%, the return on investment is so high that if you have a fairly large installation (40KW+), you can recoup your cost in about 2 years. It's such a no brainer that I am thinking of importing solar kits.

    it's always useful to know your friendly local bike shop. The pedals and handlebars are detached from the bike before dispatch, otherwise the bike is fully built. All you have to do is to refit pedals and handlebars. Refitting the handlebars is not difficult, just 4 allen bolts. Refitting the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think we look at the problem the wrong way. There is a huge waste of energy based on the fact that we have too many cars. If you look at the CO2 produced in making a car, that's about 17 tonnes per car. If public transport is free, we may need a million fewer cars a year, saving 17 million...

    On top of the issue that hydrogen will still be fossil based for a long time, the molecule is so small that it is much more dangerous to store and handle than methane or ammonia for example.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    at present, 95% of hydrogen is still produced by cracking methane with steam in a process called steam reforming. CH4 + H2O ⇌ CO + 3 H2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_reforming To top up my student's grant, I used to work in the summer at a factory making fertilisers. A similar process...

    Advice on choosing the right kit, please.

    yes. If you pedal, the pedal clutch will engage and you move the ring. If you stop pedalling, the motor will drive the ring. Basically, each source (motor and cranks) has one clutch. The ring will be moved by the faster source.

    Advice on choosing the right kit, please.

    there is a clutch unit inside the crank motor so when you use the throttle to go uphill, you can rest your feet on the pedals which are disengaged from the motor and don't move.

    I've seen in Hong Kong and Singapore what freetrade does to food. The rich can always pick and choose, the poorer have to buy low quality forever.

    Good (uk) sub £1800 E-bike recommendations?

    it's the twist and go throttle that is banned since 1/1/2026. The throttle is disabled on the Camino (and also our other bikes), you cannot just sit on the bike and throttle away. You have to pedal a little before the throttle is activated. It will remain activated until either you hit the speed...
