    Expected lifetime of a BBS02

    there is no seal around the chainring plate. The idea is the water would get though if you submerge the unit, and would collect at the bottom of the gearbox without damaging the main bearing. Collected water would evaporate shortly though same gap. I often see rust particles encrusted in the...

    Expected lifetime of a BBS02

    there is an airgap around the chainring plate (where your 5 M6 chainring bolts go), so there is no differential air pressure. Since 2017, the BBS01 have oil seals on the bottom bracket, reducing the number of water ingress cases considerably - I see no more than one case a year now. The most...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that depends on how the output is measured. If the output is measured in GB Pound, then inflation of 2% will artificially boost the output by 2% per annum without any improvement to their market value. If the output is measured in goods or a basket of currency or UN defined purchasing power...

    are you sure? Taking tools/machinery off a worker to lower his/her productivity is good for him or her?

    Battery Isolator Switch

    Yes, that's true but you need to realise that the controller works with 3 voltages, 36V battery that feeds the motor, 14V FET drivers to drive the CPU and the FETs and 5V for sensors and signalling. The 14V and 5V are produced inside the controller from the 36V that you want to switch. The...

    Battery Isolator Switch

    don't add that switch. If you have a mechanical switch, you simply move the spark to the switch which adds to wiring and is less accessible than your battery's contacts. Batteries with switch have a FET based soft switch (google soft power switch) which prevents oscillations when the current...

    if you need to go over the assisted speed limit using the motor, you can take your bike for an SVA, pay the fees and get a number plate. Your bike will be checked to see if it's safe for up to 28mph. the 10% is the usual tolerance, I am sure you are already aware of these things as you said you...

    Will it fit? Spacers for Tongsheng mid-drive?

    the chainline on the TSDZ2 is 50.2mm on a 68mm bottom bracket, 52.7mm on a 73mm bottom bracket. Don't fit any spacer to start with. If you have any shifting problem, try a 2mm spacer. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/#/product/uid-207-tsdz2-12ah/tsdz2-cd-kit-48v-12ah

    I don't think BJ will do that, he makes no deal noises to keep the DM off his back. no deal brexit equals Scotland voting for independence and NI remains in the EU in all but name.

    Price and advice for mid drive conversion

    we don't condone derestriction but legality aside, derestriction does not void the warranty on geared hub kits, only on crank drive kits. That is because the geared hub kits do not get damaged by derestriction, the back EMF voltage goes up gradually as you go faster, reducing effectively the...

    But Trump may win another term, BJ may not get a deal with the EU nor with the USA by the end of the year. Then what? As they say, the proof of brexit is in the leaving.

    I think many have twigged but still believe that they made the right choice. You won't find may who claim life will be better compared to those who think the opposite.However, they think they saved this country from being absorbed into the US of E and you can't put a price tag on that one.

    Southend-on-Sea is a tory and a brexit town but was relatively quiet last night. Brexiters lit about two dozen fireworks. The whole show was over in about 5 minutes.

    25mph is 67% over the legal assisted speed. 10% is OK, 67% way too much. Nobody stops you riding at 25mph on your own steam, on main roads or cycle tracks, just that your EAPC motor has to be off when over 16mph.

    if you mean the printed press then I agree but the technical websites are different. We buy essentially the 'new radio' from Huawei that connects the handsets to the 4G core network. Here is the UK government 5G strategy: QUOTE: The initial standards release in mid-2018 will cover an...

    yes, I think so. BJ did not get it wrong on this subject. Huawei will always have the advantage on price but in the long term, quality of software will win the day.

    there is no law against electric motorbikes and there is the concesssion for EN15194 pedelecs to use cyclepaths and roads without insurance and riders without helmet. The problem only arises when you want your electric motorbike to have the same concession, ie ride your electric motorbike...

    from what I understand, the other suppliers (Ericsson, Nokia, Qualcomm, Cisco, Samsung, Altiostar etc) are also given the same opportunity. Huawei got singled out because of their closeness to Chinese government but then one can say same about other companies and their countries.

    the article in theregister.co.uk website gives a clear explanation of the problem but it also add: quote: "Finding general issues is a good thing, but other vendors are not subject to this level of scrutiny. We have no real (at least not this in depth) assurance that products from rival...
