since the EU imposed anti dumping duty of 87% on Chinese made e-bikes, all the assembly has moved to the EU. Wispers are assembled in Portugal, Wooshes in Southend-on-Sea. Peter and his OH had sold their wooshes and now looking for something new. Maybe the new Woosh Rambla with Bafang Max Drive...

they do what they did to TM last December at her brexit summit meeting. They chose the moment carefully for maximum impact. I reckon it may have worked for them the last time but this time, it's a kind of déjà vu, BJ must have expected it. I reckon he will sign the joint declaration tomorrow...

that does not say anything about compensation for franchisees who own the rolling stock. aas for the network itself, I still own some network rail shares, there is no rumour about nationalise network rail.

I don't think he's going to renationalise the railways. The plan is not to auction franchises, just contract out the running of the trains, government will control the fares. It won't cost anything until they screw up timetables and lose money on fares.

check the gap between the spoke magnet and the speed sensor. It needs to be about 10mm to avoid false pulses. Larger gap = better.

yes, I agree it would be easier to remove from the downtube side but aesthetically, it looks better if we retain the classic look of a normal frame. I should have pictures of the production folding bike soon. The new folder is based on this one: I only tweaked it a bit. You can have monoshock...

you are on the right track. Question: how many pins you have on the motor connector? 3 or 9-pin connector?

You remove the fork. You unscrew the 4 screws, remove the battery cover and the security bolt at the base of the downtube, then pull the battery out by the loop at the front of the battery, through the hole in the headtube. The cover is painted matt black on the production bike. In frame...

I sell bikes and kits, so let me explain why direct drive is not a good choice for a commuter bike conversion. 1. it has to be street legal 2. it has to climb hills with minimum effort for the rider 3. it has to be economical on battery otherwise you'd have to carry a heavy and expensive battery...

I can't the DUP is going to accept this: “Northern Ireland would de jure be in the UK’s customs territory but de facto in the European Union’s.” On top of this, Bojo will have to get his deal through parliament this Saturday. There is only one way this can happen: second referendum.

I can concur. All the gearboxes I replaced have invariably been damaged by rust, nothing else.

it is not. it's is a boost converter. If you read the claims of the patent that sjpt posted, the system consists of (eg 4) DC-DC boost converters whose outputs are arranged such that they overlap one another, smoothing out gaps in their duty cycles. As the patent holder puts it, the system saves...

that's why I think we'll rejoin at a later date when the smoke is cleared.

Jemery Vine will host a 90 minute brexit debate tonight at 9PM on Channel 5. http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/latest-news/channel-5-to-broadcast-live-brexit-debate-featuring-biggest-opinion-poll-on-brexit-since-the-eu-referendum/

that role is usually for the eldest son, the one that is supposed to have most authority in the household. The EU offers some resemblance, Germany, UK and France have most clout because we cover most of the EU's budget. One may argue that it's silly to give up that influence in view that we...

switching cells is not a clever plan either. Lithium ion cells are mechanical devices, Lithium ions move from one electrode to the other, like a lung. Switching them on/off with high instant demand does not do them much good. Just think of a door being kicked open or closed 1000 times an hour...

does this sum up the current state of brexit?

there is a simulator here if you want to explore this concept of replacing BMS and controller in one step up design, he'll need a minimum of 2 stages. https://webench.ti.com/power-designer/

although it's theoretically possible to have a single stage DC-DC boost converter from 3V-4V to 30V-40V but I have not seen one starting from as low as 3V-4V Lithium battery. All the converters for solar panels have the same common characteristics: higher input voltage = higher yield. Each stage...
