    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In 4 weeks, the ONS would have published the figure for last week and I wouldn't be surprised if the COVID number exceeds those who die of other causes.

    Belt or chain, derailleur or hub?

    you could also argue that for esthetic reason, most the the e-bikes with hub gears don't have a fully enclosed chainguard nor oil bath. On top of the wear of the chain, the single sprocket wears even faster than an ordinary 8-speed cassette. The main reason for a hub gear is you will never have...

    length of lockdown?

    some people are made of tougher stuff than others. Would you be where you are now if you had dyslexia, a criminal record or a disability for example?

    Belt or chain, derailleur or hub?

    don't hang about too long. bikes are selling fast at the moment because lots of people stop using public transports. My guess is with the current lockdown in most of Europe, production is reduced while demand is higher than usual, we'll run out of commuter bikes by June. We never had to keep...

    Belt or chain, derailleur or hub?

    it's tricky to combine the requirements of a commuter (zero maintenance, keep to high speed to save time) with the pleasure of riding a lightweight crank drive bike, especially when you can't test ride them. You may have to go for a low cost commuter to limit your exposure.

    stator and controller bafang mid drive

    if your visual inspection has not shown up any broken gear, then it's possible that the one way clutch inside the nylon gear next to the motor may be slipping. Did the problem happen only when you go up a steep hill?

    Belt or chain, derailleur or hub?

    they only do hub gear bikes with Steps E6000 (50NM) and E6100 (60NM). Both are low torque motors - even less than Bosch ALP.

    Lockdown

    it takes me an hour to walk from my home to the seafront and back. More if I stops at Marks or Sainsburys' on the way back. I have diabetes for 15 years now, regular walking and a bit of manual work in the workshop keeps my condition from worsening.

    stator and controller bafang mid drive

    short answer is you can't test these things with just a multitester. If your controller is still good, it will tell you what's wrong with the motor by showing an error code. If you did not see any error code before the motor stops working then it's likely one of the 3 items: LCD, waterproof...

    Zephyr-B is out of stock, it won't be back until next year at the earliest.

    Belt or chain, derailleur or hub?

    hub gears are even less designed for powerful middle motors. that's the main reason why you only see Bosch ALP and not CX with hub gears.
