can you do a quick review on your Freego?

how does the Freego compare with the Santana CD on hills around your place?

woosh said they have the BBS01 36V 18A on their way, arriving middle of July. I suppose it's around the right power to weight ratio. I find my BBS01 a little weedy at times.

I made no assumption about Tillson's bike or yours. Tillson's bike is made around 2009, early 2010. I googled up various bits and bobs on the ProConnect made at that time and re-read the thread http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/kalkhoff-pro-connect-36-month-9000-review.9273/#post-112692...

BBS01 http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?cdkit Q100 http://www.bmsbattery.com/ebike-kits/331-250w350w-q-85100sx-motor-e-bike-kit.html MXUS CST: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/conversion-kits/rear-cst-kit/ at £499, the last one (mxus XF08C CST) is the cheapest conversion with 15AH battery. I rode the test...

why downhill? to minimize wind effect and your input soaking up the power of the motor, make it easier to detect the motor's rumbling and tease the motor to reach higher speed. Tillson's ProConnect motor is more strictly 250W compliant than most, you can't get much more than 15mph out of it on a...

no, never. slightly warm to touch but never hot. I think overheating on the ebike.ca is taken to mean that the motor may suffer dammage. from their notes: Overheat In[g]: This is a prediction on how long it would take the motor to overheat (reach 150oC) based on a simple first order thermal...

it's always worth spending a few minutes checking for loose wires. Do you have a multitester? you should check the battery voltage when the light flickers.

there are so many unrestricted bikes out there like Tillson's ProConnect. They are legal because the manufacturers say that they are. In case of legal trouble, you can always blame the manufacturers. The customers think they have a nicely spreadout power cut off but trust me, their bikes are...

he hasn't much choice: 15AH battery is needed for his 40 mile commute, that excludes all the light bikes. One way to get a lighter bike with the same range is to get Woosh to fit their CST kit to a nice bike like the Cube Aim SL26, total cost about £1,050. Total weight: about 20kgs...

http://www.ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html 350W will give you 7.2mph on 10% gradient (bike + human = 100kgs), 500W 10mph. But actually, these motors can give a lot more than their nominal rating. A 350W can give as much as 550W-600W, a 500W motor 800W-1000W. The problem with big and powerful hub...

the Proconnect Xion X27 weighs only 24kgs including 15.5AH battery and djsb is a big guy. The Ezee bike is heftier though.

it's quite straightforward to change the rear wheel for a new wheel with NuVinci hub gear. It'll add 1.5kgs to the rear wheel, costs about £200 and takes about 30 minutes. I thought d8veh has done this before. Apparently, the NuVinci can get sticky to shift when you are on a steep hill. It also...

the KU63 http://www.avdweb.nl/solar-bike/electronics/ku63-motor-controller.html#h2-ku63-motor-controller-facts has power delivery more like you want, it does not need external speed limiter, so the cut off is gradual.

the Woosh Big Bear or Sirocco CDL has the range. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear

you may have a frayed or damaged shifter cable. give a little 1 or 2mm push on the index lever as if you were going to change to a lower gear but without committing and watch the derailleur. If the derailleur does not respond to your thumb press, then check if the outer cable sits properly and...

bikes without speedo are deemed to be illegal because they do not know when to cut off and you'll be riding an illegal contraption (according to some). The Secret does not come with a speedo, how do you know that it cuts out at 15.5mph?

that'd explain your Newtonian mind. by the way, your application of Newtonian mechanics in the helmet thread was a bit over simplistic. The brain and the skull are deformable objects, and you also need to take into account skidding at the point of impact and subsequent oscillations.

no, it's not coincidence. It's just a matter of common sense. If my next door neighbour smokes canabis now and then, should I report him / her to the police? no. And have you ever gone over 75mph on the M25? I think the majority sees my point of view and I would not criticize people who choose...

I can't dispute points 1, 3 and 4 but have you tried a derestricted (but previously legal) crank drive bike before you form this opinion or come to this conclusion?
