    Disappointed in Scott

    Well since I am not in the trade, I would be free to express an opinion, however the only information I have on that product has come from the postings here. I don't think I have ever seen the product in question, so my opinion could have no value. As a more general point, I doubt whether any...

    Registering an ebike in Northern Ireland

    I think that Tommie would agree with me on the following statement... .. because the people in NI, particularly the unionist leaning population have a huge respect for law and order . It would offend their sense of self worth to be found out doing something illegal.

    Disappointed in Scott

    Thanks , but that raises only more questions, in languages unknown. . The types of questions would be are these the electronically controlled power outputs or the native outputs from an unregulated motor, where and what is being measured, what was the accuracy and resolution of the measuring...

    Disappointed in Scott

    It would not normally be appropriate for a vendor of a competing product to answer such a question in an open forum

    Where do I get spokes please?

    .. Throwing the science card again, maybe I trump you there, but let's stick with known facts. Were the torque from your motor sufficiently high it would have ripped the spokes from the hub, or have sheared the spoke itself, so it wasn't. But it will create more wear at the swaged bit of the...

    Where do I get spokes please?

    .. my logic goes along the lines of. Why are the back wheel spokes more likely to fail... We agree on that.... Reason more weight, more strain , more torsional forces. Agreed? Why do we use electric motors .. to increase the power beyond that which the average human can produce. Where does that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ... Where does public service and patriotism have a role. I cannot believe that amongst the 500 MPs , that there are not sufficient who see Brexit as an unmitigated disservice to the UK, when will they act?. I don't want to get into UK politics, but John Major has been saying some sensible things.

    Where do I get spokes please?

    Impeccable logic, however the UrbanMover was not a cheap bike it cost 1200 in 2007, and the wheel did not fail even with up to 10 failed spokes , it was usabl

    News: Electric bikes considered ‘motorbikes’ on Northern Ireland’s roads, says BA

    .. the word republic says it all, Orange order, GAA, and all other types are equally welcome as citizens of Europe. I often gaze over at the mornes, lovely , the silent valley is a gem. ( For mainlanders this is a water r source for Belfast and is really beautiful parkland), and I dispair with...

    News: Electric bikes considered ‘motorbikes’ on Northern Ireland’s roads, says BA

    As some of you on the mainland finally realised following DUP conversations, as unionists call the larger island lieing to the east of Ireland, and now have now reason to believe. NI is currently part of the UK, so my statement was valid. We can readily identify NI registration numbers from...

    Where do I get spokes please?

    .. error on my part, should have used the word torsion not tension. There have been postings on this topic before, some to which you have contributed.The fault will occur in the swaged button the hub. Remember, that earlier model hub motors will have larger diameter hubs, meaning that the spokes...

    Bosch Speed Sensor

    If you look at the back of the display unit there are 7 contacts, presumably 3 serial Comms circuits to the touch button, the motor and the battery. Where the intelligence resides on the Bosch I don't know, but is likely to be in either in the display and or the motor and probably a limited...

    Can I use my Raleigh Motus 36v 4a power supply on other 36v

    The Bosch people would probably say that they have your interests at heart, safer etc.Almost every device with an external charger has a note saying use only the supplied charger . The only exception is was the mobile phone chargers and that needed a EU directive...

    Where do I get spokes please?

    Spokes fail on hub motored bikes because of the extra tension on them from the greater power... Of course bunny hops and pavement jumping don't help. There are plenty suppliers on eBay, including a few excellent UK based manufacturers. I got mine at a reasonable price on line from a UK source...

    Can I use my Raleigh Motus 36v 4a power supply on other 36v

    .. by power supply I am assuming you mean the thing that plugs into the wall in order to supply current to the battery box. The Bosch one has a number of additional circuits in it in order to communicate with the rest of the bike. Other power supplies don't have these. You will presumably have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Other than I have always had a sneaking regard for the ill-fated Jacobins, I find the article extremely lucid and accurate. .. worst luck as it predicts a dismal future for both UK and Ireland..

    Disappointed in Scott

    Hi KTM, it would be helpful if you published the reference to this graph. For the engineering types , graphs like these are a gateway drug, and as an academic, I would say that not to reveal sources is plagiarism. I can see that d8veh is already drooling.. The term drezhal refers only to...

    News: Electric bikes considered ‘motorbikes’ on Northern Ireland’s roads, says BA

    ... Not to mention the naked intimidation of shopkeepers and others in the weeks leading up to the glorious day, demanding financial contributions. Many shopkeepers close their shops and prefer to lose a weeks trading. I live in a seaside village south of Dundalk, and our car parks are filled...
