    Help! Impulse / Panasonic torque sensor manufature wanted

    Panasonic make (or have made for them in Japan) their torque sensor assembly, and the Daum is a virtual copy they make or have made in Germany. Neither company will make available any internal spares for these units, so the only source is units which have failed for more common reasons. I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What isn't fair is you persistently calling Sadiq Khan the Clown Prince. Online abuse has led to a number of suicides amongst young people and Khan's initiative is welcome and necessary. Khan is many times more sensible and cost effective with his measures than Boris Johnson was in that post...

    Well Hello All

    A warm welcome to the forum and it's good to learn you've chosen such high quality e-bikes. I'm sure you'll never regret it as you enjoy riding at every opportunity. Fingers crossed for good weather in December! .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not really, fly in, fly out! All international airports are universal borders, and there's the open border from Northern Ireland off course. But I was just quoting the news item on radio, listing Dublin Airport first and then the two seaports. .

    Cowboy ebike Guardian review

    Designed in one of the low countries where they hardly have any hills. The Dutch Sparta company made the same mistake with their first e-bike, but when it was ridiculed here they quickly added a derailleur. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So the last three are grossly over represented since they have their own ruling bodies. That's especially true of Scotland which has it's own government and parliament and makes nearly all its own laws. .

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    Indeed it is the law here for "no bureaucracy" pedelecs, but there are also speed road bikes on the market. The motor for the US Orbea Gains may have a different winding for that market, but it's more likely the controller setup is different for them. In which case a US controller and...

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    Thank you, I'm sorry if I seemed a bit impatient but the very frequent need for answers on the same subject can get rather tiresome after 13 years of it! ( I was member number one joining here in October 2006 when the forum opened) I hope you are able to resolve a solution, but you may not be...

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    You may not get what you want even if there is no restriction,. Hub motors like yours have there rotation speed largely tied to the motor winding, and that is usually specified for the bike's legal purpose. The only way to defeat that form of limit is to use an increased voltage battery since...

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    No it is not nonsense. I was in the cycle trade from the early 1950s, including selling and fitting the petrol add-on cycle motors of that era, and know the scene then and the history throughout only too well. The huge decline in cycling in the '60s and 70's caused a halving of all retail...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    He's setting himself up for both endings, both saying we'll leave on the 31st yet saying he'll comply with the Benn act and apply for an extension if we can't. So with either conclusion he'll claim he told us so. It's necessary to realise we are dealing with someone who has no shame and has...

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    You just aren't getting it. As I posted, the assistance isn't to enable anyone to ride at road bike speeds, which are sporting speeds. Utility bicycle riding is commonly done at around 12 mph, often slower and less commonly at 15 mph, and I well remember when nearly all our cycling was done at...

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    When I posted motor propelled I didn't just mean electric. Many very good and capable mopeds and motorbikes use petrol motors. And motor vehicles can only be used legally on roads, so lifting over fences doesn't apply. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    With these conundrums, the answer all too often is the simplest one. In this case that he's trying to bluff the EU into believing he will take us out on the 31st somehow. A sort of inverted project fear in the hope that they'll give way. Like so many Leavers he still half believes the myth...
