I can answer that point with a question. How many times did you intentionally exceed the speed limit, and how many times did you intentionally go through red lights?

Andrew told me that 50C dropped Oxygen because they wanted more reliable bikes. I wonder if they regret that decision now - probably not, because they're so arrogant.

But that's the same argument as saying that cyclists that buy non-conforming lights are clearly the type of person that's willing to break the law, so they're more likely to jump red lights, or people that knowingly drive their cars at 31 mph in a 30 zone are more likely to jump red lights when...

How? Where's the evidence? It's just something you've imagined. That doesn't make it true.

We used to get that 10 years ago. As I said, there are now cadence systems that don't do that. The Bosch uses a cadence sensor. I'm not sure about the Gocycle because I never had to fix one.

I've seen cyclists jumping red lights, but never ebikers. If you ever saw an ebiker jump lights, how would you know if their bike was dongled. This idea is just a figment of your imagination and there's no proof that there's any sort of relationship between the two crimes. Many cyclists don't...

As an objective observer not involved in any way, except that I received a threatening message for my comments on this forum, I would say that the problem goes deeper than just a motor fault. There were several forum members reporting that they were effectively blacklisted by 50Cycles for...

Chain breaks do happen, but not very likely; however, problems like pedal arms coming loose and pedals falling off are real, and they will leave you stranded on a crank-drive bike.

You're right, but looking back on it, they just went to Raleigh HQ and picked from their standard bikes, which they were allowed to rebrand and recolour - maybe add a rack, mudguards etc too, and minimal choice of tyres.

The C961 and C963 both have 6 pins. https://bmsbattery.com/parts/706-16664-c961-c963-c965-lcd-for-bafang-bbs-central-motor-bafang-lcd-led-display.html

... and what's worse, when we pointed out that there was still a problem, they were in total denial and they got very nasty with us. I received a very threatening private message from them just for pointing out that the evidence showed that their problem hadn't been fixed.

It's because it was the law in Germany that you had to have a dynamo on all bicycles. I think that changed recently.

You can adjust the speed of just about every ebike ever made. I bet even yours can be adjusted by the settings if you know how. Tell us what you have, and I'll tell you if it's possible.

I wouldn't draw that conclusion at all. I know loads of riders that have unrestricted ebikes and I know that not one of them would go through a red light.

1. 48v system is legal, but night give too much torque for your forks. You must show us the forks you've got to confirm that. 2. A Dopwntube battery gives better handling. You will have to add one or two more rivnuts to your frame, which is no big deal. use a rack battery if you're ham-fisted...

To conform with EN15194, an ebike has to be marked with various things, including manufacturer, speed and power; however, I don't believe that your bike has to comply with EN15194 to be legal. The law is that it has to have a motor rated at no more than 250w, max speed of 25km/h and the motor...

Riding an electric bike with an active dynamo on it is the same as riding everywhere with your brakes slightly on. It just doesn't make sense. The dynamos are say 3W. That means that you'd have to pedal 5% harder everywhere you went except when freewheeling. The dynamo would take 133 hrs to...

if you're any good with electrics, a modern controller will absolutely transform your bike for about £70.

Yes, the same motor. Several recognised brands use the AKM100 also, which is listed as 350w in some places. The whole thing is a meaningless mess. If you use a hub-motor, it's marked as 250w or nothing at all, it's smaller than say 9" diameter and you tell everybody it's 250w, I can't see how...
