Ask him if he knows when the cleaners are coming, then try and have a conversation with the cleaner directly. I own rental properties and I've never heard of anybody cleaning a bike room. If they did, it would be no more than once a month, so even if the cleaner says that they need to clean...

Plan 1. You can get about 120 mph if you ride it off Beachy Head. Range will be 535 ft unless it's a particularly high tide. Plan 2. Ride your bike 20 miles a day. Every week, increase it by 5 miles to 25 miles a night, 30 miles, etc. You can stop increasing when you get to around 50 miles a...

A 100Ah 12v leisure battery costs £80. Chargers and converters, etc. for your ebike battery will probably cost more, make a much more complicated system with less capacity and more restrictions on your ebike usage. KISS!

328 rpm 48V Q128 motor wheel from BMSBattery. Most of their batteries have options for integral controllers.

Put a switch on the pedal sensor 5v red wire to enable/disable it. That way you can go from whatever level you want to zero assist and back again with a single press.

I haven't used one. The only thing I'd say is that it uses a wireless pedal sensor and control panel. There have been other kits that used wireless sensors and controls, but they were fairly problematic. Maybe these people have made their system more robust against interference. All I'd say to...

Yes, I really like the Vulcan. I sort of have one. It belonged to my best friend and regular riding mate who died last year. It's throwing up the torque sensor error at the moment, but due to my own health problems, I haven't had a chance to fix it yet. It's one of the few that hasn't had the...

I'm pretty sure that the 36v and 48v controllers are swappable. A guy on this forum swapped out the controller and the motor drive unit from a 48v version onto the 250v drive housing and reduction unit. The complete motor assemblies are the same except the 48v one has a wider motor. If you think...

It seems obvious now that you've said that. Must be senile dementia, though not quite as bad as Joe Biden - poor guy.

What do you mean you couldn't find them? I found them for you. You only have to click on them.

Woosh has a manual for the LCD: https://wooshbikes.co.uk/manuals/petite-lcd.pdf

It's not a good idea. It works with hub-motors but not with crank ones. It'll increase the motor RPM by 33%, which will be above the level that you can comfortably pedal, and at your normal pedal speed, it won't be so efficient, which runs the risk of over-heating. The 48v version has a bigger...

Here's my original thread about dismantling the torque sensor: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/carrera-crossfire-vulcan-torque-sensor.30490/ Here's the thread about spring removal: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/delimit-carrera-crossfire-e.27555/page-5#post-577362

If you're interested in heart rate, a Fitbit watch is as good as anything. I found the best one was the Charge 2, which used the phone's GPS. The watches with GPS are fiddly to use and the batteries don't last long enough. The advantage of the Fitbit Charge is that everything is fairly automatic...

Jeez, don't you understand basic maths. There are only 6 people in the UK below the age of 15 recorded as having died from Covid -19 in it's entire history. How long it took them to die is pretty well irrelevant compared with the 47,000 over the age of 65. 574 died below the age of 45. That's...

Good point, well presented. I was thinking the same as soon as I saw that chart. There's something very fishy about it. It's a stupid thing to graph anyway, and by changing the target group you test, you can make it go up and down as you please. When I thought I had the virus, they wouldn't test...

All these guys are power hungry sociopaths and are a complete waste of space regarding doing their jobs. We'd all be better off if we kicked them all out and leave the bottom level clerks to run the civil service. You should be pleased. I think you're letting your BDS interfere with your...

Despite what he says, there seems to be a lot of friction in his hub. There's no way he's going to gain 20 meters on any downhill. I would guess it uses a roller clutch, like our hub-motors, which are great as long as they don't go rusty.

The first electric Vulcan is a lovely bike when it works. I haven't tried the new one, but many people are saying that it's not very powerful compared with the first version. You can solve the pedal surging by removing a couple of springs from the torque sensor mechanism, as one forum member...
