You will find that most 250 W geared hub kits top out at around 32-33 km/h (20 ish mph). A 250 W mid drive motor with external controller can be encouraged to reach 45 km/h (28 mph). At that speed motorists don't quite understand that you are going so fast (there you are in your street clothes...

You mean like "an immense 2% victory" and " a tiny 7% of our GDP"? Just asking... :rolleyes:

Source ONS It actually rose above 0% after you joined the EU only to plummet again.

It could also imply that as well as imposing compliance for manufactured pedelecs self-certification is imposed for kits...

1. quite right you are selling services 2. not doing so well eh? 3. what does that have to do with bellonging to the EU? 4. There are exacly 167 countries which do not belong to the EU so you are correct

Where are they going to put the soldiers: - in front of rich peoples homes? - in front of supermarkets to prevent looting? - in front of parliament to prevent the politicians from being dragged out to be hung from London bridge? Would be very interesting to see the deployement plans...

When you read of 250 W geared hub motor failure in general they have been hot rodded by using a controller supplying over 30 Amps and using a battery of over 52 v. That is to say they usually fail at over 1.5 kW (over 6 times rated power) and the first thing to go are the nylon gears. On ES you...

You don't need to have a pedelec tested. As stated above use a kit that is certified by the seller to be EN15194 compliant. Pose a sticker on the bike, I quote: 5 Marking, labelling In addition to the requirements of EN 14764, the EPAC shall be visibly and durably marked according to EN15194 as...

Any lock that is gold insurance company level will get your insurance company to pay out. Use two locks of different types not one. If you leave your bike somewhere regularly (station) take a photo of how it is locked up, that will help your insurance claim if it goes missing. Keep your bills...

You what? Jeeze the guy broke the lock in 17 seconds! On CCTV!

I do understand what you are saying - you don't understand how the Chinese make and market geared hub motors apparently. These motors are not very sophisticated and the Chinese will cut costs where they can... There are different speed windings - the codes are engraved on the motor. And...

In today's money that is a fiver a second! o_O

Much better! Great job!

Same motor, same controller, different battery. Oh dear the motor with the 48v battery goes faster :eek: ... Something must be wrong with the years and years of hands on experience of the people at ebikes.ca not to mention all those crazy hot-rodders over at endless-sphere.com. Because we both...

I have a spare fishing rod tip and am thinking about fixing a tungsten screw to the end and attaching it to my pannier rack... :rolleyes: I might even put a reflector disk on it :p

There is a reason for those good revues - it is the best. Get the right spring for your weight though.

An interesting talk show on the de-industrialisation of France last night - French industry is going the same way as UK industry. Why? Not enough investment in robotics, worker traing, R&D, etc. Germany, Italy and Spain (!) don't have failing industry because they have invested in all of those...

1. You can use a 48 v battery with a 36 v motor, it will spin 33% faster 2. You can't use a 48 v battery with a 36 v controller (unless you are very clever/have experience) 3. When you upgrade a 36 v motor to 48 v it is recommended to keep the controller limited to 17-18 Amps (about the same...

For a bike that looks like new, has new tyres, brake pads etc maybe 3,000. That is 20% depreciation per year. Most probably less than that.
