It wasn't kiwi who is responsible for the sticks and stones comment or the comment that exploitative behaviours existed prior to the world wide web... I take responsibility for these. Kids and adults have been bullied and physically beaten since the time of Cain and Abel, it's not a new...

... The Raleigh captus would be within your price bracket, has the Bosch system. As far as I am aware it is the lowest cost such ebike. There are some compromises in the selection of the other components... But isn't every product a compromise.

... Well according to reports, these victims were using an very obsolete version of Windows, from about 4 to 5 generations ago. If more people were using Linux, then there would be more hacks on Linux, if more people were using iOS there would be more incentive to devote hacking efforts on that...

. Before the internet all the problems listed in your first sentence existed, and they will continue to exist as long as there are people. If you look at Regency age political cartoons and lampoons they were as ugly , and obnoxiously crass as any modern counterparts The only difference now is...

... Does that sound plausible?. No business could survive on such a return margin,

... On a 20 inch hub motored ebike , I did have a number of spoke failures, I would have put them down to heavy usage e.g climbing on and off footpaths . Additionally with a small wheel diameter and a relatively large hub the spokes are very short and may not have the opportunity to flex, but my...

... Some copywriter must be having a red face day...

... But that is exactly what the dereilliur gears do ... they transform power from low torque high speed to high torque low speeds and vice versa However I fully accept your other point that there will be major changes in bike topography. .. a simple example would be multiple windings in a hub...

.. of course. And I also assume a torque sensing shaft on the motor. Else how can they match the effort from the servo to the power of the rider.

... But they do incorporate a gearbox, remember that the human powered crank is fed into a 2.5 to 1 speed up gear before being mated with the electrical power shaft. By joining the power together before the dereilliur the benefit of the gears is obtained. .. otherwise one would have the...

... What model bike, what model motor was it ? . Was it set up for your height and leg length? . Everything you have said runs contrary to my experience. There is no reason for any drag with a central drive motor, there is no reason for the motor to appear to kick in , that only happens and...

... If this was a commercial hack then by following the money the perpetrators will be found

Naturally!

... That is the Thule model I have.

. The towball hitches are secured using a pressure plate with a bolt and captive nut. From memory the Thule uses a 17mm headed bolt and it is screwed quite (actually very) tight. It needs to very secure, and tighten in order to hold the bracket It would not be possible to remove it...

.. pretty good. Changing the subject however, I recall reading some decades ago an explanation as to how Hitler suceeded in getting the German high command to agree with him often against their better professional judgement. Apparently he had them swear an oath of loyalty to himself, not as...

... When they talk about manpower are they deliberately excluding womankind?. As I understand it the populations of the UK and USA are double that quoted in their graphic.

... Good call enjoy it. Why not ask the shop to slime the tubes before you take delivery and buy one of those car valve to presta adapter s .. about 2£ , so you can keep the tyres nice and hard. The only regret about the Captus /Motus is that they have those pesky valves.

.. with the quick release wheel fittings on many bikes removing and replacing the front wheel is a 5 second toolless operation. Even if your selected bike does not have them as standard they could be retrofitted by the dealer. If you were going to carry bikes regularly in the back, then a...

Is yours the hatchback or spaceback version? If you remove the front wheel can you fit them internally , maybe invest in a sheet of expanded polystyrene to separate the two bikes .
