    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do they use artificial insemination to be just on time like that? Or does the PM ring up and place an order with the queen? "Liz I'm in a bit of a bind, can the kids help out again please?"

    Giant Ebike Chainring Improvement Help

    You could try 44-32, that is what I would like, I have 42-32 and the big ring is just a little too short. You will have no problems finding 104 BCD in those sizes. The largest 104 BCD chainring I have found for reasonable prices is a 48 tooth.

    Derestricted or legal

    I am commuting now, my 250 W bike can match most cars from 0 till 25 km/h cut off at the lights, why would I need more? To tell the truth that would be 250 W + my 160 W. Even at legal speeds car drivers can't relate to an old guy on a push bike going that fast. Don't get me started on vans...

    Cube SUV Race 500 2017 - with nu-vinci hub

    Depends on your chainwheel teeth. The range of gears makes it useless where I live because I like to pedal downhill too. I really wanted to have a nexus 8 inter but same problem, not enough range. Yep, the only one that has enough range is the Rohloff...

    Woman fighting for life after 'e-bike' hit-and-run in east London

    Tonight riding to work I crossed paths with a sit on electric scooter thing. No pedals, no lights, no helmet on a busy main street... What more can I say...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It was a well timed wake up call "don't put all your eggs in the same basket". The EU is 27 baskets all of the same shape and size which helps keep production costs down.

    Off topic battery

    I used to sell Macs for a living a long time ago so I know about user as beta tester :) Running macos on other hardware could have been fun a while ago but I'm getting too old for that now. I want sketchup and a couple of other 3D things I can't run on Linux. My Linux laptop is from 2000 or so...

    Off topic battery

    Lasted from April 2016 till September 2018. Not bad for an aftermarket battery. Now do I change it again or get that macbook that I can do other stuff than play games on...

    Lightweight and stealthy to leave at train station

    She is called Bonnie and she is in China. I think they want you to use a bigger battery because it won't sag so bad on hills. If you go for a power tool battery grab one based on 20700 cells - 15 Amp output!

    Powered Bike Trailer

    I'm not sure if I would like the feeling. I don't like it when my trailer full of shopping pushes me around. Other thought is about the coupling and the force going through it.

    BBS01B 250w to 350w

    15 X 42 = 630 18 X 42 = 756 125 W more hot off the charger. I think you would get more kicks from a 48v motor but you need a battery and that is a whole new budget.

    The new best headlight

    The best one is a legally approved one (just in case you are involved in a crash) and from my experience at speed you need at least 70 lux. Lux are the number of lumens mer square meter on the road a more significant value than pure lumen output. I like a couple on the front but unfortunately...

    Are Zombie Lanes coming to a city near you

    Are they offering brains with smartphones now? Maybe I need a phone? :rolleyes: I have mounted a toot-toot horn on the trike for phone zombies, it is great fun! You wouldn't believe how high someone jumps in the air on reflex.

    Power has been cutting out for a few seconds when going up hill

    The battery can be supplying the tiny amount of current required for the LCD. Some LCDs have a battery so are self powered. The controller doesn't have enough volts to send to the motor, that is your cut off we have to find why. I thought of another type of cut out that you can have with a...

    Power has been cutting out for a few seconds when going up hill

    No, if you feed too many volts the capacitor will blow other than that they are pretty bullet proof.
