    there were some stats from WHO, 128k confirmed cases, 5k deaths, 68k recovered, leaving 55,000 people in intensive care? we never are going to have that many beds in ICUs.

    hand washing helps, at least psychologically. Also singing the national anthem or Jerusalem at the same time helps boosting your sense of invincibility.

    Getting me, my child and 4 bottles of beer up a mountain!

    you can try https://www.greenbikekit.com/ http://www.pswpower.com/ven.php? They ship more cheaply from Germany. Look for BBS01B + 13AH battery. If money is tight, try XF08C rear hub kit + 13AH battery http://www.pswpower.com/ven.php?cargo.2020-35-brmt

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    what is fairly constant is the maximum power delivered by the motor. The torque is equal to power (in Watts) divided by the angular speed (in radians). The faster the wheel turns, the lower the torque. If your bike has a crank motor, the power is entirely transmitted to the rear wheel by the...

    Getting me, my child and 4 bottles of beer up a mountain!

    I can, but you would have to pay VAT on importing from the UK. Your budget is not enough for the whole kit, even with Chinese battery cells. Take a look at local suppliers first, as most suppliers on Aliexpress don't ship to Turkey. You need to budget at least £400-£500 for the kit and taxes.

    If you want a hub motor, choose a geared hub. If the vendor lists gear reduction ratio: higher ratio is better. If the vendor lists dimensions: larger motor is better. Post the link to what you intend to buy here, we'll check for you. If you want a crank drive motor: choose Bafang BBS01B - it...

    Hi folks

    yes, that's correct. The OP started already with a kit that is not road legal.

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    yes. If you want a motor to be best at going up x% gradient at y kph, then just get one that is optimally built for that purpose. When you move one of the parameters, like applying a higher or lower voltage, you lose that optimal yield. That means the motor will shed more heat, become noisier...

    Getting me, my child and 4 bottles of beer up a mountain!

    to climb a mountain, you'll need plenty of torque which is the power that turns your motor wheel. As with most things in life, it's a trade off. For the same amount of power, if you want more torque, you trade speed for torque. It means in practice you need a crank motor so you can change gears...

    Hi folks

    have you got an LCD on your bike? if you do, the maximum assisted speed is set in the LCD. Just tell us which LCD it is.

    PAS sensor (KT-V12L) install issues

    That is why I suggest fitting a BB (bottom bracket) with the correct axle length and diameter. make sure that there is 1mm air gap between the crank and the left side sensor and the cranks rotate freely after installation. The problem with kits sold on amazon and ebay is they don't come with...

    PAS sensor (KT-V12L) install issues

    I beg to differ. The left side PAS is much easier to install and replace. You need a BB axle of 122mm if your BB shell is 68mm, 127mm if your BB shell is 73mm. Check also the diameter of the BB axle, it should be 16mm. If yours has 17mm dia axle, replace it. If it's too short, replace the BB...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if I understand correctly, the corona virus that spreads is a mild form, it does not kill its hosts. When it invades a new host, depending on the genetic makeup of the new host, it goes through a mutation. This is when about 2% may die from the mutated virus. we still have a window of 2-4 years...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's difficult to see when this crisis will be over. The NHS tested about 30,000 people, found about 1% of those tested with the virus. That could mean that as much as 1% of the population can be spreaders. The real long term problem for people in our age group is re-infection. You can get...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I equate wearing a face mask to doing a short range self isolation. Our Chinese suppliers sent us a stash of face masks a couple of days ago. The masks are sealed in plastic bags but the bags are wrapped in local newspapers. Hatti treated the wrapping like nuclear waste.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am taking all the precautions: open the shop to the public only on appointments, prepare for all essential staff to work in isolation, one room per person, wear disposable daily face masks when meeting in the same room, keep windows open for extra ventilation. The idea is the virus particles...
