    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. I cannot use the agree button, because I don't want to comment on the internal politics or personalities, but I want to agree with the proposition that this is functionally a Brexit referendum. I also agree with the proposition that a Brexit EU related bombshell could easily derail the...

    Recell my Battery?

    ... If you look at his pictures you will see that the BMS is covered in a white jelly.. i would assume this is a silicone sealant. Rather than asking him to scrape this off, removing a bit of Insulation seems easier to me. It is also easier to attach a croc clip to a piece of wire than to a...

    Recell my Battery?

    ... If these are standard li ion cells then there needs to be 10 tiers at nominal 3.6v per tier to get the overall 36 to 41 volts of a fully charged 36v pack. If you have 3 cells in parallel in each tier , then they would have needed to be 5 amperes hour cells. I don't think they were...

    Recell my Battery?

    See the black lead in your picture and the number of parallel white leads all going towards some printed circuit board under the white mastic material. You could remove carefully a small piece of insulation from each of these white leads ..To expose the copper conductor... offset them so that...

    Total cost of an ebike, around 45p a mile?

    ... Look to your assumptions. A bike getting 3600 miles per year should last indefinitely. Would need tyres every year, a chain every two or three years , that milage should allow maybe 4 years for battery as it only 100 fills. Motor probably 8 years . ... I know because as the song goes I was...

    Recell my Battery?

    .. don't necessarily assume that the battery is dead. It might be dead or might be sleeping. , Since you have opened it up , you should be able to access the individual strings of battery cells. In the fully charged state they should be 4.1 V accross any cell and in the depleted state about...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. no.. as citizens they are entitled to and in my opinion should vote . However they as citizens have also have a responsibility to inform themselves. The message on the red bus was a lie. , Using my previous definition. The failure of the remain lobby was that they were incoherent and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ....The arguements about self belief etc are an internal emotion and are not amenable to external rational debate, I have referred to this before . Whether these are self evident truths .. I will sidestep. If there was such confidence in this group why should they not want to compete on the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ... That logic defeats me. If Labour believes that Brexit is not in the interests of their core constituancies, and now has evidence that these voters were lied to (I am using it in the context untruths intended to decieve), then they can make a strong case. It is the duty of political...

    Options for transporting ebike by car

    . The bikes ride very high on this device, and lugging 25 kg might be beyond the capacity of some riders. I had something akin to this many years ago with a square mounting plate which fitted behind a bolt mounted ball hitch. ...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. Woosh what can I say you are always the optimist! For my part I would hope , rather than expect. 1. Labour to realise that were they to act as an opposition, and oppose the Brexit agenda , they might on a pro Europe platform mobilise a significant fraction of the 48% , and form a coalition...

    Simple question

    . The speed of the chain is the same as on a conventional big chain wheel bike, so the tension on it and the power transmitted will be the same. The only difference is that the little front chainwheel is going like the clappers. It also looks feels like the chain will not fall off, as can...

    Simple question

    ... It seems the postings have taken off on a life of their own. The answer to your question is that there is a 2.5 speed up gear between the cranks and the pedel and the small chainwheel. So yes even if the power is off, one rev of the pedel causes the chain wheel to go 2.5 times. The...

    Options for transporting ebike by car

    . If the back of the car got such a wallop as to start moving the bike forward, it would collapse the wheels , against the steel frame of the seat. If the amount of rear ending was such that the back had chrushed 26 inches, cycling would the least of your concerns.

    my battery is not charging fully

    Assume it's a mistype, but a 36mah battery would not get you far. A 36amphr 36v one would be very big
