    Back spray with rear mud guards

    Too short. Needs a spoiler to stop the up spray effect.

    Tested my helmet today.

    If you have one of these helmets you might want to chuck it and get another: https://helmets.org/recalls.htm Yours is good for the bin Gubbins seeing the state it is in.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Freedom of movement is a two way street. Will UK citizens, as a third country, have to jump through the same hoops as I have to in order to keep their cottage in the Perigord Noir?

    Hi from the Bearing Man

    You weren't supposed to notice... :p Bearing Man, great idea, I am a big "right to repair" fan which is why I built my own pedelec.

    Price difference

    I am going to put a 38 tooth on the upright when I install the Mxus, a good all round commuter gear for hilly towns. The freewheel is the DNP 11-32. The trike with the GSM will also get a single chain wheel in the beginning so no way of riding all the way home in case of electric failure...

    Torque and gears and design limits. How to calculate ?

    :) I'm going to have to change my reading habits! Shimano recommends 19, 20, or 21 for a 42 tooth chain wheel. So 16 is fine, 22 and above are no-no. Tech notice is on their site.

    A rare piece of history - Swizzbee

    That seems quite low mileage for the kind of problems you have been having does it not? Swiss quality manufacturing? Or cheap bits from Taiwan failing because not up to the *ahem* speeds and load.

    eBike-specific, main battery-powered front light

    For my inner city commute I have switched to using my 40 lux b+m AA cell powered headlight: - the beam is narrower and lights up the only dark unlit section of road quite well - uses less power so cells don't need to be recharged so often It is used in combination with a b+m lumotec connected...

    Just a silly question how do manage to ride a trike/ recumbant

    You wouldn't see me dead on one of those upright delta things! Even ordinary cornering has my rear wheel spokes screaming for relief! My only roll was at extremely slow speed on a very off camber access to a cycle path. Taught me that I didn't want to do that at speed... :eek: I have gotten the...

    Price difference

    The GSM (Woosh kit) pedals up to 37 km/h no problem, over that I let gravity do it's thing. I have ridden without the battery, it is like a heavy normal bike. My cut off is set to 27 km/h on the LCD to compensate for the big tyres so 25 km/h on the GPS.

    Just a silly question how do manage to ride a trike/ recumbant

    So we are talking about a delta trike? My trike (tadpole) came with a manual and in bold it is written "don't go too fast in corners"... Even slowely in off camber corners bad things can happen! 1. go slow in corners 2. go lightly on the steering 3. use the correct tyre pressure even a tenth...

    BBS01B 250w to 350w

    The sweet spot for many 250 W rated motors is 17-18 Amps. Any more and you have to start thinking about heat issues. Not on the flat but if you ever meet a steep enough hill that is when you will start having issues. 20 Amps x 54.6v (hot off the charger) = +1 kW Plastic gears start to melt at...

    Best ways to charge and maintain battery life

    1. Use a battery with quality cells inside 2. Use a battery that has sufficient discharge rate for your requirements - full power requires cells capable of 10 to 15 Amp discharge. There was nothing wrong with you charging your battery twice a day and overnight, the charger stops charging when...

    If that was the case many of us would be in the same situation. Somewhere there is a compromised server but as you seem to be alone have you ran an anti-virus scan on your computer?
