Probably needs to do d his way back and discourage animals from his vicinity.

We must agree to differ.

I purchased the Thule 3 bike rack . See the Halfords website. Assembly was very straightforward. The instructions are very clear. Mounting it on the car was OK and future mounting dismounting will be much quicker. The screw locking the rack to the ball hitch needs to be severely tightened. A...

I hate to disagree, but voltage matters. If the motor were purely electromechanical then the extra voltage would either cause it to just speedup (DC motor with brushes) and the extra voltage would become a source of heat. If the voltage is excessive it will cause stress on the insulation on...

I have already looked. Bosch have extra contacts on the battery but there is no voltage present on the power terminals when it is disconnected. Again it is a protective measure and presumably requires a link to be made with the carrier before it switches voltage onto these terminals. You will...

I made a mess of my previous message so here goes . If a power supply could even under fault conditions generate a voltage in excess of 60v then it needs additional protection. These conditions are linked to the much derided IEC and E U regulations but are part of international product and...

In some bikes it does!. My RI Motus has a key which 1. Operates a simple lock immobile in the back wheel and 2 electrically locks the battery in situ and disconnects the electric power. Same key two functions . The visual display unit can also be removed by a clip and this further...

The level of air pollution in major cities in Asia is such that travelling on small electric scooters makes huge sense. With a 5 mile commute over a flat city e.g Saigon , these devices are the business. Small petrol scooters contribute to the adverse smog. It is probably the extra cost of...

Hi my understanding is that it it will not matter at all. Any BMS will include two elements voltage sensors which sample the voltage across each bank of series connected cells and power switches FETs which ensure that the charging current into each bank helps equalise the voltage. .... And...

Hi thanks to dv8vh for that informative and worrying image. Obviously the specs for the engineering design of these battery packs does not include waterproofing. If tins of sardines can hold the contents in brine for decades, it is not a technical problem just an engineering decision. I f there...

And the battery did not farewell either!

Hi as previously mentioned I have a Motus. I deliberately wanted the step through version , for reasons similar to the last poster. Throwing a leg over a high saddle has always struck me as unsafe in traffic and anyway I don't see any particular reason for the crossbar. The OP s concern is...

Hi Kitty, I was exactly where you are about 3 weeks ago and I think I also viewed on line the same second hand kalkoff. I n the end I went up to Lisburn and purchased a Raliegh Motus . With the current , and it is even better this weekend, currency exchange, this bike is much more...

Oops I just realised that this post was 2 years old

Hi SLA batteries ( the old fashioned lead acid battery ) will fail to operate after about 6 months of inaction. They go through a process of sulphation and in general cannot be resuscitated. You could attempt feeding them special tablets available from Halfords, but I doubt whether you will be...

Hi Chris, you appear to be one of the few people who actually read the full requirement s of this O P ( What do these letters signify I am an newbie ). In order to test it's feasibility I went out and tried a 22 Km spin while attempting to keep the speed of my Bosch powered bike at the legal...

Hi Eddie PJ. I am now concerned about the lifetime of the motor on the Bosch are you really saying that the front cog is only good for 500 miles before replacement. I have a few bikes including an original Moulton c. 1962? still on its first chaineset. I s there not a digit missing...

As the new owner of a Raliegh Motus , I am singing it's praises. With the weight you are carrying you need a bike with very strong brakes. The Motus is specified for up to 120Kg and you will be pretty close to that limit. The Motus has hydraulic brakes and these have excellent stopping power...
