    the Trekker looks nice though. 24kgs? a bit too much for most.

    we keep stock of batteries for old bikes and there are also plenty of vendors on the internet. The battery is not software protected, simple 2 wires, black and red for ground and +36V.

    Please help, which one?

    that depends on your weight, height, how hilly it is where you live, the style of frame you like and whether your budget is an issue or not. Strictly on value for money, I'd go for this one: https://www.primera-sports.com/product/cube-2020-town-hybrid-one-500-electric-bike/

    New technology - solid state batteries

    as long as the battery is not software protected, you can always replace the inframe battery with a rear rack battery or a small frog battery mounted to the seat post or a downtube battery. These batteries don't have any style to worry about, they are just functional. The semi-inframe battery is...

    yes, you will need a presta adapter. I bought one like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18V-Li-ion-Battery-Cordless-Air-Compressor-Automatic-Tire-Tyre-Inflator-Pump/283785711818 there are plenty other similar products. Choose one with a long hose.

    New technology - solid state batteries

    that may require an official body to set the standard. Manufacturers change subtly the battery's connectors and other characteristics to achieve differentiation and stop customers messing with their bike's electrics. I wouldn't want someone slot a 52V battery onto my 48V kit and get me to...

    Folding - with least leg work required - to get around lake district with photography gear

    that type of rack does not affect the folding, it just stays sticking out, making the folded Brompton more difficult to carry. If you carry a Brompton bag at the front, you can fit the battery on the seat post like this: https://wooshbikes.co.uk/2020/brompton/seatpostmount.jpg

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the Swedes don't live exactly like us. cases: SWE: 52/10,000. UK: 45.6 deaths: SWE: 4.8/10,000. UK:6.4 They have more cases and fewer deaths. Why? because they have better facilities. We can't stop public transport because a large percentage of our workers don't have personal transport...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    their cities are less crowded than ours, our infection rate will never be comparable to theirs. At the time of the lockdown (23rd March), more than 100,000 Brits get infected every day. Translate it to 3 months later, even if R does not go higher than 1, we would get 15,000 Covid deaths a day...

    Why so few hub geared bikes with belts ? Looking at Kalkhoff

    we need to sell at least 100 bikes of a model a year to make it viable. It's a tiny quantity for most factories, they wouldn't be interested in helping us with anything smaller. yes, agreed. the main problem is it adds 1kg of extra weight and about $50 extra cost. 8 years ago, I made a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    both statements can be true at the same time. Government says it's led by science but not does understand it. Those advising the government will try their utmost to avoid blame when the inevitable s*** hits the fan in the second wave this winter.

    Folding - with least leg work required - to get around lake district with photography gear

    the electric Brompton has 8.5AH battery, hardly enough for your 40 miles even when the road is flat. Any bike with torque sensor requires much more leg work on hills than on flat roads. If you are going for an electric Brompton, you should consider my Brompton kit. It has 13AH battery and a...

    Help me understand how derailleurs work with rear hub motor please

    you have two types of hub motors: direct drive and geared hub. Direct drive, as in the name, the rotor is connected directly to the rim with spokes. The motor supplies part of the energy needed to move the bike forward, the rider adds to it via chain and cogs. The good point is simplicity, not...
