This dates back all the way to the way the British largely stopped cycling in the 1960s, taking to motorised transport after most cycling prior to that, either single speed or with hub gears. Cycling here returned to popularity with the mountain bike from it's invention circa 1980, and since...

There's usually some sucker like me who'll fix it for you, I've long lost count of the number of times I've done that. My two most notable: Came across three lycra clad club type riders forlornly at the side of the road, one with a flat tyre. They had puncture outfits, they'd fixed the...

Afraid not. For every one thing I know, the number of things I don't know is almost infinite. Just like everyone else. Soon I'll be dead and won't know anything .

I'd just finished posting a reply before seeing yours Pete!! Never mind, I'm glad you located the right charger and hope the battery proves to be ok. .

Neither of those is any good for your battery. It has to be a 24 volt circa 2 amp charger, but it's also necessary to have one matching the battery's internal NTC thermistor rating. The trouble is I've no idea what that is on that old e-bike. This charger* will be suitable, but you'd need to...

You really do have a weird mind. You posted Why? in response to my posting that the site had the reactions system changed for them. My post explained the site host had changed it, which answered your question. If you wanted to ask why reactions were used at all, you should have asked that...

My post explains why. The site host changed the system for some reason. .

Pedelecs have posted this explanation: REACTIONS Xenforo 2.1 has introduced its own reaction system. We will hopefully be moving back to the one that was working yesterday, I'm just waiting for an update from the developer later today. .

Of course, Sunderland is the home of those who most vigorously supported Leave and thought they were winners. It still hasn't sunk in that they are losers. .

Use the Sad one? .

I did it differently because I dont like the high wear on 9 to 11 tooth sprockets. I've got a 13 tooth rear with the 60 tooth chainring, giving me a 92" top gear, unique on a small wheel bike, albeit more expensive to set up. .

It's undergeared, very common on folders, mainly due to the small wheels. As part of modifications on my 20" wheel one I fitted a huge 60 tooth chainring to give it big bike gearing:

That makes no difference, any form of disclosure from that security meeting is a criminal offence under the official secrets act. It's something I'm very familiar with since I'm bound by that act three times over. By work in the Porton Down chemical and biological defence research centre, by...

I haven't a clue, I just heard the announcement of May's record. I doubt anyone else ever got close in just over a single year. Most PMs have less than one a year and sometimes go years without a single loss. .

The battery can be checked and re-celled by this recommended company, but check the price for that against a new battery from the bike suppliers. .

Yes, the battery does seem to be dud. The battery meter will always recover a reading after cutting out since it's voltage driven and dud cells do hold their voltage. They just don't retain the ability to deliver the all important current, and a multimeter can't measure that aspect. .

Although I haven't ridden one personally, we have had members owning them in the past. One of them, his forum name Synthman, had a Ninja model for years and enjoyed it. He even had the police asking him about it in a friendly way, obviously interested. One of the officers even tried it! They...

That sounds very much like the battery has failed, one or more cells unable to hold their charge. When it cuts out, does the onboard battery meter show the capacity suddenly drop to zero at that moment? .

Williamson brings the total of ministers Theresa May has lost in just over a year to 38, a new record, and I'd suggest a new record of Prime Ministerial incompetence. Justice might have been served better if most of the 38 had remained and she had resigned. .

That's the falsely named L1e-A class for having throttles on pedelecs. As I've posted it's a nonsense by the DfT to give a work around the "no throttles" law. As said it is NOT L1e-A, which is a 1000 watt class which does need type approval by the manufacturer, is a motor vehicle and has to...
