A bicycle is self-balancing due to the gyroscopic effect of the wheels, which is controlled by hands on the steering. On a normal bicycle or an electric one with a torque sensor control system, you'd lose drive and speed if your legs stopped working, which will make you stall and fal off in...

Go to the Powabyke website, make an account, then you can download the manual.

The freewheel you need is the 11T/32T DNP one, which you can get from Aliexpress, because you'll probably find your gearing too low after fitting an electric kit. The only problem is that They don't do 6 speed, but I think your 6 speed will index OK on just the top 6 gears, which would give you...

That's very weird. I've worked on many hydraulic brakes of every brand and I've never seen anything other than clean fluid. The system is closed, so there should be no chance of any contamination. There must be something else wrong with your bike unless a previous owner decided to use old engine...

I know also that some companies use stooges to leave bad reviews on their competitors, which is why some want proof of purchase. I was looking for a new motorbike and went to a store to see one. I had a terrible experience there and wondered whether I was the only one, so searched Google to...

It's been done, but you need to know what you're doing. You need some electronics that reproduce the hand-shaking protocols using an Arduino or something similar. There's a guide somewhere on how to do it.

OK, maybe not lycra, but your shadow shows a short-sleeved shirt, like a T-shirt, and cargo shorts that come just below your knee. Definitely not work clothes, which is the point I'm making. To me, it's exercise if you don't stop for a fag every five minutes. I can't see any smoke, even when you...

Great video, but don't forget that there's a difference between riding to work and a bloke in sports clothing showing off to Youtube how hard he can pedal on a Sunday exercise session.

What's going on with electric bike reviews? Nothing adds up. I was led to a review by Google. Google often prompts you to make a review of something when it knows you've bought an item or service. I think that's a good idea as it prompts regular people to make honest reviews, however, it hasn't...

You need to count the teeth on your gears. Did you get any photos?

I've noticed that motor vehicles treat you with much more respect when you use those laser beams. I don’t know whether it confuses them, its the width on the road, or what.

Good information for general Arduino applications, but it seems like a complicated solution for an ebike derestrictor when you can mount the Arduino in the motor cable and use the 5v that's provided for the hall sensors. You can buy a motor extension cable, cut off the connectors and make a...

The Cyclotricity is a 1000w motor. Entering codes in the LCD can affect how much power you give it, but doesn't change the rating of the motor. Only motors up to a rating og 250W are legal. We all known that if your bike is limited to 15.5 mph, you're unlikely to get into any trouble, but when...

But Yose Power is an Eu business, and you have no proof that they're not paying VAT. Surely, they have to pay VAT when they land the stuff in the EU. I know other EU companies that buy kits from China, and they all pay VAT on them.

It's nothing compared with how much they're wasting on HS2. The saving in non-paid VAT is passed on directly to us. If it bothers anyone, they always have the option to donate more tax to the government when they do their tax return or any other time. You're allowed to pay as much tax as you...

The Cube is around 18 amps at 36v and the BBSHD is 25 amps at 48v, so 1.85 times more powerful. To get the power from the cube, you have to pedal hard. You can get the power from the Bafang with a throttle and without pedalling.

Hang on. A week of train fares? Surely, it would be cheaper to go down to Halfords tomorrow and get any tyre that fits?

The Cyclotricity 1000w kit would be good for high speed commuting on the road as long as you had the 16Ah battery, which I think is still a bit low for your journey. It's not so good for trudging through fields because of its low efficiency at low speeds. You get about 10 miles per 10Ah on the...

You missed something from the listing, "Never thrashed".

That's normally free if you bought the bike from them.
