    so his project is a new 'The Apprentice Show' but instead of looking for common qualities, his apprentice will have to be weirdo/misfit/thinking out of a box one like himself? Here is your chance, BBC.

    Can You split the power of a conversion kit?

    I agree with Benjahmin, feasible but not practical. Think of how much power the vending system would need for a peak day. That could well be in the region of 20KWH. At the moment, 500WH batteries weigh about 3kgs, 20KWH is 40 times that, 120kgs battery. Then there is the material cost and SVA...

    Voltage

    don't worry about the small difference, 41.6V is perfectly good.

    gear sensor led function?

    how a gear sensor works: you have a magnet inside the sensor. The magnet has a groove, which naturally sticks to the gear cable but otherwise the magnet can move freely along the cable. A tiny amount of springy material inside the sensor keeps the magnet roughly at the middle of the sensor...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It: a tory government that gets brexit done. How they 'get brexit done' is still a puzzle to me. Parliament will pass the WAB next week but there will still be wrangling for years ahead.

    Full Throttle Folding E Bike....,Any Suggestions |?

    it's only the twist and go throttle is banned. To get around this, some bikes require that you pedal a little bit to activate the throttle so that although the throttle is full acting, it's not a twist and go. The new law applies only to manufacturers and does not affect users. So another way...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    First there is the language. Also, UK offers easy access to social provisions (health, education, driving licence etc) and it's the easiest country to set up a self employed business. How many people would ask: are you an illegal immigrant if they want someone to wash their windows? That's why...

    ebike for communiting and trails

    I think the 15kgs is a bit low. The motor and battery adds about 5kgs to the bike. The Suntour XCM fork weighs nearly 3kgs on its own. That leaves 7kgs for the mechanical bike. The Calibre Two Cubed for example, similar in mechanical specs, is quoted as 14.5kgs...

    magnetic disc problem

    you can file off some from the crank or if you have a square taper bottom bracket, replace it with one that has a longer axle. If your bottom bracket has external ball bearings, you need a drilled disc. Post some pictures if you want suggestions.

    magnetic disc problem

    check that you have enough space between the crank and the bottom bracket's face. If your bottom bracket has external ball bearings, you need a drilled disc. Post some pictures. Which bottom bracket do you have?

    Which e bike?

    they are all reasonably good bikes - my favourite of the three is the Wilier. Lightweight is always top of my list of criteria, followed by good torque.

    ebike for communiting and trails

    in ideal condition, yes. No headwind, no climbing hills and in eco mode (you pedal a lot). The price is good even for 8.8AH, but it is always more useful to have as much battery capacity as you can afford. Not only the battery sags less when climbing hills (it is less stressed), you don't have...

    living wage rate: April 2018: from £7.50 to £7.83. April 2019: from £7.83 to £8.21: 62p/hour April 2020: from £8.21 to £8.72: 51p/hour Bojo won't do any better than TM. If you are 25 and over, you are supposed to be able to support yourself and perhaps a young family.

    the danger is the press is owned by billionaires. Their potential to distort news and destroy the competition to their chosen PM has been amply demonstrated.

    most conservative membership were at odd with David Cameron and he knew the danger of offering them a referendum. And yes, history is rewritten by the victors.
