    How to get legal approval for a pedelec throttle

    Interesting for the trike brakes. All on my own I had decided to mount a parking brake on the rear wheel (disk brake) and change the levers on the front for combined shifter-brake levers. They have to be mounted, it doesn't mean you have to brake on all three wheels, that would be dangerous in...

    L1e-A testing requirements

    An interesting article by LEVA So, today L1e-A covers electric bicycles with or without pedal assistance or with a mixed propulsion up to 25 km/h and over 250 Watt. The fact that there has been hardly any vehicles type-approved in this category shows that type-approval is not the right...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That has been scientifically proven to not be the case. Something in the genes of right wing fanatics apparently. Left wing fanatics do bad stuff in groups but not as loners.

    Electric cars, motorbikes and boats

    I just saw a truck load of Model 3's go by on the motorway! Heading for Spain. Interesting program on TV a couple of days ago - obviously paid for by the German car industry and they are scared silly of Tesla. They spent a whole 10 minutes poo-pooing and saying how irrelevant Tesla is. In my...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    From an Israeli newspaper on the three decades of British rule: And yet, the British were high-minded about their mission. Today we might call them arrogant, condescending, even mildly racist. But they had little doubt that they represented a superior civilization, which they were morally...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Maybe 233 billion USD of aid over 60 years might have given the same result if it had been given to the Christians, Jews and Muslims who had been happily living together on that land for centuries before they were invaded by refugees? Those same refugees invented modern day terrorism blowing up...

    Hills and Ebikes.

    3 in 4 isn't an incline, it is stairs, no it's a ladder... I am around 80 kg and the Mxus XF08 climbs 13% at 25 km/h with me giving plenty of welly. The GSM mid drive wants to pop wheelies on 20% inclines if you pedal too hard. It may seem counter productive but the GSM climbs slower than the...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    I opened and counted, it is in one of my threads I think. I did some tidying in my computer bits box and found some nice black cable that will do the trick. My buttons will be about 1.2 metres away from the LCD - I am going for one with cadence display if I stay with external PAS on the GSM. If...

    Low Power but efficient

    GSM mid motor, all kits with HL battery with internal controller. The model you have chosen doesn't have a disk brake - I would want one of those even un-powered if I was loaded with shopping.

    Magura HS-11 Advice - Brake Pad Replacement

    I understand your problem, since I changed mine it is rubbing too. I am going to get the Torx key out and start from scratch because the usual procedure isn't working. I only got 6500 km from mine but that is normal - I am in the Basque country :)

    Battery life and testing %?

    Aerodynamics! Internal packs cut down on drag. :D Yesterday I had a race with a gentleman who has mounted a BBS01 and a HL battery to a classic road bike - I was much faster downhill. And later I was passed by a dongled Cube road bike. He went zipping by but I had the time to see the Cube...

    A rare piece of history - Swizzbee

    With those currents I can see your point about using copper. For those of us using 15-17 Amp controllers I think pure nickel will work just fine.

    Tyres-"ECE-R75".....a con??

    It means they have been tested so that they can be put on a moped where everything to do with security has to be approved, ordinary bike tyres don't have to be tested.
