You can't pedal with a motorbike helmet on your head, that is what killed the moped in France. Yes they are as expensive as a quality motorbike helmet. They are motorbike helmet approved but with ventilation. You know how much a stromer ST2 costs so the helmet price shouldn't scare you... :D

brexit negotiations aren't going well, lets have a thwarted plot to distract attention. OK PM we are on the job!

The OP is talking about a trike. Trike chains are 2.6 times longer than a bike chain. The extra length absorbs torque which is a bad thing when you don't have a motor and a good thing when you do have a motor. I don't see a gear sensor being particularly useful. Trike chains run a very long way...

I have a double chainring on the GSM: 42-32. If you use a wide range cassette you will be able to tow 100kg. Stopping it will be another story... A "250 W" BPM hub motor with a 48V battery and a 25A controller would be a better solution. You keep your triple chainring and when you need it you...

Motors have two weak points: - Heat which can melt the nylon gears and affect the magnets or in extreme cases the insulation on the windings - Bearings Hot rodding a hub motor: "With the steel planetary gears and ATF lubrication, the ‘250W’ Bafang SWXH was able to survive astonishing power...

I have one on my shopping list and will get it next season. 1. Wires between buttons and LCD cut and joined with an extension cable 2. Higo connectors are available to replace the connectors on the BMSbattery version

That looks like my ride back from the station, I have trees though :D

Ah downhill! Now there my first bike reached 67 km/h and was kind of scary because it was too small for me. Number Two has never gone past 62 km/h regularly and is as solid as a rock, the Big Bens make it as reassuring as a motorbike at those speeds. Then we have the trike (which isn't a...

I haven't won the lottery yet! :) I have seen one in the flesh. No number plate and the man got a red face and rode away very quickly. I don't think I look like a cop?

The first day of the election campaign and the future parliament is split about 49/51 with independentists in the minority. Turnout predicted 92%!!!

My personal record on a road racing bike (Columbus frame, insane chainwheel...) and on a false flat (ever so slight downhill but head wind) at age 24 or so is 60 km/h (37.29 mph). Back then brakes and tyres were scary but in your 20's...

Yes this is their site and their reference numbers.

I have a pedelec limited to 25 km/h (27km/h set on the LCD to compensate for the bigger tyres). That speed works for me everywhere except on the open road so I have changed my ride for a trike - it will go over the cut off much easier on the flat mostly because of better aerodynamics. The longer...

Quel horreur ! :eek: Headache guaranteed!

I will be using standard nickel plated Wippermann Connex 8 speed chain with my GSM. E-bike chain might be a good idea if you are 10 speed or higher because the side plates are thinner. Do you have problems changing gear now? With a trike chain you don't have many problems with excess torque...

I have brought this subject up before and the solution to the offset is a problem savers direct high mount adaptor. All well and good but there isn't to my knowledge a direct mount front derailleur which accepts a 48 tooth (or 50 tooth) chainwheel. It only needs to be capable of a 16 tooth...

His middle name is "eagle-eye"... :rolleyes:
