    What do you think to this new Highest Torque motor ???

    interesting design but it's still a 5.2kg direct drive motor delivering 15NM torque albeit at 900 RPM. Not enough torque to drive the cranks or wheel directly, you still need a gearbox. At the end of the day, his stator cannot generate more flux than his magnets can conduct, we go back to the...

    Help - kit recommendations for Raleigh Twenty

    I see the problem. the TPI is not important because most of the bottom bracket motors except the Gospade don't use the BB thread. 76mm may still be possible if you can find a way to lock the M33 nut. Still, finding another donor bike may turn out to be more economical.

    check the cranks' length. If it's 175mm then a mid drive is worth considering because the conversion keeps the existing wheels and brakes and has simple wiring.

    I have 406 rims. Not sure you can fix the brakes. Relacing the motor may be an option. What is the width of the dropout?

    that's what happens when the country is led by a useless pair whose education is mainly about ancient Greek (the useless ancient, dead language, not the useful modern day Greek) and ancient history (that's what Cummings excelled at). No wonder they dream about changing the world but don't know how.

    problem is you have rim brakes. Have to have the correct rim size.

    now we have to learn to live with it until the science catches up with the disease. It may be 10 years into the future.

    I agree. That's the only way. It's like Japanese knotweed, don't just nip it. Eradicate it. Annihilate it.

    You need a large percentage of users to allow their GPS coordinates to be saved so that dangerous clustering can be detected and localised. With bluetooth alone, you can collect user IDs and turn their Covid status to red but you expose users to bluetooth hacking (google 'blueborne', 'Key...

    New bike need for speed

    your bike is not made for riding at more than 15mph on forrestry tracks. The wheels will fly off. There is no damping in the fork of your bike. You need one of these cheap bikes (for what it has) Decathlon Stilus:

    New bike need for speed

    forget this idea. your bike does not have a user settable speed limiter. You have to have a speedometer and an LCD before you can change the maximum speed.

    Cycle to work Juicy bike vs Forme Buxton

    it's a cadence sensor, 12AH battery. The current Rambletta does not have as good gearing as the Brompton's. The next batch of Ramblettas arriving in August is better geared for commuting. I may have some spare time in June, I can try fitting the torque sensor kit to it to see how it goes. It's...

    shared public transport is the major factor. Especially airplanes and airport, also underground.

    "I hear nothing". Boris had a grommet put in his ears when he was little. That may explain why he still hears nothing.

    Cycle to work Juicy bike vs Forme Buxton

    you don't save much storage space with folding bikes that have a mid beam fold. Only an electrified Brompton does that. This converted B75 has 13AH battery (468WH), giving about 40 miles from a full charge. Brompton folded: 60cm L x 70cm H x 35cm W (with folded pedals, 45cm with non folding...

    Cycle to work Juicy bike vs Forme Buxton

    I would suggest adding to your list the Woosh Rio MTB: It is a very comfortable lightweight commuter and fitted with a large capacity battery (650WH) and quality parts (brakes, shocks, crankset etc). 18" frame, suits your height too. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rio-mtb

    Matt Hancock does not have a leg to stand on if this goes to Court. I watched Panorama tonight on BBC1. A catalogue of mistakes, cover ups and lies costing the lives of nearly 100 doctors, nurses and carers. How about care home residents coerced into signing DNRs? Care homes forced into...
