    Traditional ebike vs (legal) moped/scooter ebike

    1) I've no scooter experience in those conditions, but on bicycles the tyres are a big factor. Some have far worse grip than others, something youcan ask in here for any type being considered. 2) No, I've always used at any time, but range can be a little shorter in some circumstances...

    Traditional ebike vs (legal) moped/scooter ebike

    I'm sure that first video is a setup with slackened spokes. A properly built normal bike wheel will never collapse in that fashion with even the heaviest of people on board. .

    Protection from Bad Weather

    At camp sites park the bikes upright. My one experience of damp problems was after laying a wet bike on its side in the back of my car. Some water on the bike ran into the controller housing and it took hours of running a dehumidifier and a fan heater with the bike in a closed room to get it...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That question is fully answered with the numbers in the radio program I posted. If you listen to the MP3 that I put up for Danidl on this link, you'll hear at two points the sheer scale of the amount of lives that could have been saved. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They are right of course. By the standards of our performances since about 1950, we've done a perfectly satisfactory job of controlling Covid-19. .

    How Does a BMS REALLY Work? As it seems that many here apparently do not know exactly!

    Andy, you really are a total idiot. vfr400's knowledge on this subject far exceeds yours by a margin you couldn't even begin to imagine, he doesn't need to look up what you have to all the time. That's why his help to members not only solves their e-bike problems but is often a master class...

    Traditional ebike vs (legal) moped/scooter ebike

    As vfr400 has posted, 250 watts is a rating only to meet certain conditions for legal compliance, it doesn't refer to actual maximum power. No pedelecs have only 250 watts of actual power, they'd be rather useless with that only. It's not a worry for you if rated at 250 watts. They manage...

    Battery charging, how often

    They actually got more expensive as one went back in time, due to the shortage of cars post WW2. My first car at 18 was a Vauxhall DX which in 1954 cost me £100. It was the same age as me. The classic example below wasn't mine:

    Traditional ebike vs (legal) moped/scooter ebike

    We've had two members with these, Synthman and Kinivinnie. They are perfectly lagal and neither have been troubled by the police, Indeed they chatted with Synthman asking him about the bike with genuine friendly interest. Like all pedelecs they are far more powerful than 250 watts, typically...

    It ws a very expensive car to me too, BUT: I paid £25,500 since Nissan's price has risen and the government reduced the grant since. It is almost top of the range equipped, only leaving out something I definitely didn't want. It is Ford Focus sized. The top of the range Ford Focus was over...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why Did the UK Have Such a Bad Covid-19 Epidemic? The question is answered by an excellent edition of the BBC Radio 4 program "More or Less", which goes through the whole saga from January to the present, painfully detailing in sequence every mistake by the government throughout. It will be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just like the US Americans, the Arabs, the Orientals, the Italians, the South Americans, the Russians, the Israelis, the Central Americans, the Eastern Europeans, the Afghanis, the EU. What a blessing we are free from them all now and able to decay into oblivion, content in our own perfection. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suppose getting to be the president of the world's most powerful nation is of itself a considerable talent. Though of course in a democracy it also indicates a spectacular lack of talent on the part of the electorate. .

    Motorised scooter 1916

    Nothing new under the sun as they say. I imagine it would be a noisy and vibrating beast with that two stroke engine directly on the front wheel. .

    Exactly. As I've always advised in here, only charge when in the home and awake. .

    Battery charging, how often

    True that it's mainly vaguely related, but some of us find it interesting. So why try to stop that for us when you don't have to read it? There's almost 14 years of posts about electric bikes in here that you can read. And a 100 page thread about vaping if you think we've been off subject! .

    Battery charging, how often

    It's simply not practical to wire the house solar to them there and then organise the return current. They need to be with the home metering system that sorts the costs and returns from feeding back into the grid. .
