    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the UK (and Trump) are stirring a barrel of **** and hoping gold will float to the surface. News flash! Gold is heavier than ****...

    hub motor running but no wheel motion on FreeGo Hawk Electric Bikes

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ebird-Electric-Bike-Motor-Gear-For-Bafang-Hub-Motor-Plastic-Gear-Replacement/32801232911.html :) Gong to sound like a coffee grinder so I suggest removing the grease and using ATF instead. After a couple hundred km noise level should come down a little... :rolleyes:

    Laugh of the Day

    On a shared path pedestrians have right of way. If they are on a cycle path and get knocked over if you have witnesses to prove that you did everything possible to avoid them they are stuffed. Just the same as if they cross the road dangerously and a car driver can't avoid them. I see more...

    Laugh of the Day

    I am going the horn and bell route too. If I see headphones and phone it will be horn, bells are useless with zombies. The big problem is deaf old codgers who don't have their ears with them (wife on arm). On occasion both of them are deaf as posts. My current argument stopper is "Yes, yes you...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    Apparently my idea of sustainable is 97-105 :D I said 110 in another post but I hadn't changed the wheel size! Careful it becomes addictive that calculator I spend hours searching for the best gearing compromises.

    Flummoxed by current capacity issue

    If the battery is 5 years old I wouldn't waste my time testing. Best way is to borrow another battery which you know is good and see if you have the same problem. If you don't then send the old battery off to be recycled and get a new one.

    Helmets - again!

    As a recent convert to flying over bars and probably one of the faster riders I have never hit my head, ever. The day I do hit it, and if I die from it, that will mean my time had come, my 9 lives were up... :) I carry a discreet scar on my face where a tooth perforated cheek during a motorbike...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Read back through your posts, you said basket case economy in a few. I never stoop to personal attacks you must be confusing me with someone else. I did say that one of the main factors of the brexit vote was xenophobia (which I gave the definition for) without being nominative i.e. many voted...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is another form of the welfare state: giving jobs to those who would not/could not find work elsewhere. Thing is it works, keeps those people out of unemployment. Kind of like the Soviet Union... :rolleyes:

    Flummoxed by current capacity issue

    The battery is knackered. Is it 5 years old too? When you draw current through the thick wires it is too much for the battery to handle. When you draw through the thin wires the battery can keep up with what the motor is drawing.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Did you know that France has one of the lowest levels of poverty in Europe? And that it didn't get worse after 2008? And that inequality didn't get worse to the same degree either? All that in a country you have been criticizing for corruption, being badly run, due to fail because of being in...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    How about you drop them an e-mail asking about the specific Duty due saying that you have already paid the VAT in Germany and that you are curious so you have contacted HMRC to ask which extra duties you might be liable for on a product coming from Germany. Oh and a copy went to your solicitor...
