.... It doesn't need one. The controller has a clock and electronic switches which switches the DC current into the three sets of coils in the motor in a specific sequence and rate. It doesn't need to know from the motor what speed it is going at, because it is doing the driving. The speed of...

I applaud your common sense . I looked up the specs for the device and it draws 2.5watts from a 12v supply, this means 200mA . Halfords have 20amphr 12v batteries based on lead acid sealed gel . See it in their leisure or motorbike section at around 40£. If this is connected to the cigarette...

. The standard bathroom silicon sealants and even better the lexan polymer sealants in either black or transparent, will also work quite well. I used it to fill around a cable passing into a hole into the controller housing Particularly where cables enter a rigid enclosure, .. as a sort of...

.. the lightest and most reliable electric connection is a soldered joint and the next is a standard chocolate block connector strip with screw terminals. The best way to waterproof these is to use self algamating tape, available from Maplins and aldi etc. This tape when streached a little...

... It was the statement that voltage was irrelevant, that I was responding to. I don't think it is well understood that the EPAC designation is only available up to the 48v value. I believe that this value has its roots in a very old telecommunications standard, and the safety value was just...

.. be grateful, these pedelec posts are filling up my Inbox.

Is this a record 4 agrees ?

... Actually the voltage does come into the legality issue. The EPAC regulations specify a maximum voltage of 48v in order to escape the additional requirements of being classified as an ebike rather than an electrically assisted bike. So 48v is the threshold...

.. I suppose that it is very dependent on where you are, just like the local popularity of cars in a town might depend on which garage is viewed as best service etc. But in the part of France I visit the " B twin" brand seems to be the most prevalent of the normal ebikes, although I have seen...

There is only one major advantage to hub gears .. you can change them while stationary.,whereas the chain has to be moving on the derailleurs. Modern derailleurs are just as easy to switch.. maybe even easier than a hub, and with modern indexing , it is a push button operation. Derailleurs have...

Wyenne, I am two years younger than you and I am suggesting that you might rethink the crossbar issue. A step through is much easier on the legs and hip, ... No throwing the leg over as it were. ...and I believe safer. The Captus from Raleigh would just be in your price bracket, especially if...

.. I am not a stooge for Microsoft, but in fairness is it not unrealistic to expect them to cater indefinitely for what in computer terms is early bronze age software. ? They supply the product, that they will support fully for a number of years, provide that guarantee, a migration path and...

... Fairly comparable midrange between the Raleigh Captus and Motus, looks to be using the same frame.

... agreed. The riding experience is different, and crank drives are better on hills. The experience, in my opinion is more akin to a traditional bike , but with a constant tailwind. You owe it to yourself to try out both technologies

.... That's interesting, I was unaware that Win7 would be affected. It is still used on a vast number of machines.

Back to Brexit... A lead item on the Irish news today was that whereas Irish exports to the UK in 2015 had grown in value by 12% from the previous year, that in 2016, they had grown by only 2%. This was not a result of a reduction in the volume of product exported, which had actually increased...

... Not far off they have a range of ebikes starting at 950 mark. Incidentally the decathlons have a emtb at 1200euro with Samsung branded battery. , and their lowest price bike, is 130 euro., You would probably need to get to 400euro to match the bike construction on the lowest cost Raliegh array.

... We are not far apart on this topic, I would like for a number of high profile cases to be identified by the police services using their current powers under blackmail, threatening behaviour, demanding with menaces and then spending the resources necessary to break through the apparent...

... Right, I am familiar with the Motus, the next higher model, but many of the features are the same .. in particular the motor. Both the Motus and Captus are heavy bikes. It would be normal practice to have the motor power in touring mode and only go up to sport and or turbo as required.. when...

I am not suggesting that anyone is lieing, a possible scenario would be that there are multiple dispatch warehouses and perhaps only one retrieval warehouse.
