After brexit there will be a new name proposed: Greatest Britain Ever... :rolleyes:

LG make a few HG2 is 3000 mAh 20 Amp nominative discharge Lower discharge (10 Amp) but 3000 mAh Sanyo GA Panasonic PF Even with brand name cells you have to take the tested continuous discharge with a grain of salt . This is a good test site...

It would mean every police car has an RFID reader - budget...

They are only 5 Amp discharge rated and they can't handle 36v 15 Amp in 4P10S. Several of us have had issues with the GSM motor and 26F celled bottle batteries. My non scientific opinion is that they can't take ramping up quickly to full discharge rates and hold that discharge rate over several...

And we rebuild Hadrian's wall, bung up the tunnel and mine the Irish sea, relax have a cup of tea safe from all those nasty people who didn't understand the greatness of it all...

Yes you can, it looks like the tall one (photo from their page): The low profile ones take 52 cells and these taller ones do take 65 cells.

Another case of helmet efficiency in action! Brain damage yes, nasty external bruising and bleeding no...

They will probably be Samsung 26F and that isn't good if you are going to be drawing high amps regularly...

It has come, the time of bike registration... :( In order to bring down bike theft, every bike in France is to have an ID number and accompanying card - by 2020 for new bikes and by 2021 for old ones. No number plate, but I imagine that the permanent and placed on bike to be readable marking...

In EN15194 there is the acceptance that kits exist, for example the cut off speed has a tolerance of + or - 5% rather than 10% for factory built bikes. If you stick to the rules your trike won't be sent off to be tested unless you run down one of the queen's corgis... or something like that...

The pair? :rolleyes: Sorry! Couldn't resist. Yes at 78 you are supposed to be riding step-through tame city bikes not flame breathing MTBs! Good on you for trying though! :)

Nice story! OK bad accident for the lady but really interesting. Maybe I'd better get cracking on my fourth language then? :) Or wear a helmet? :p My GF and I speak 4 languages between us - she doesn't speak a word of English and I not a word of Basque, our common languages are French and...

Cells be cells lad! :D Many of the older generation Lithium behind the seat post style batteries contain LiPo pouches and a 'normal' BMS. You can take LiPo down to an LVC of 3.3v per cell with no risk other than shorter battery life. What I like about raw LiPo is the charge times at 1C - under...

I had the exact opposite pleasure of finally getting my knees in nice and close to the frame. Probably get an extra 1.25 km/h going downhill! :D

The 20700 is a much better choice and becoming the future standard in cars (Tesla) because there is a minimal size/weight increase for much better energy density and they fit in existing EV battery boxes. +4000 mAh and 15 Amp discharge for 2 mm extra diameter and 5 mm length + a few grams extra...

Fact - rich people will be better off after brexit than poor people. Fact - poor people will be worse off: - no more EU worker protection - no more EU consumer protection - no more EU environmental protection Fact - rich people will be better off no matter what but they will all eventually...

On the LCD: - climb a regular, steepish and long enough slope - spin the pedals without applying any effort (OK some minimal effort is required just to turn the pedals) to get initial Watts reading with just the motor doing all the work - apply normal cadence and pressure - read the difference...

250W nominative motor, 48v max battery, cutoff at 25 km/h and no "throttle". Don't forget your EN15194 sticker!

"The unique Y-architecture, two wheels at the front and one at the back, means it feels stable" Try and off-camber corner at speed... :eek: Key words "feels stable".
