The height of the weight matters more than the amount of weight, so Cube.

That's a good paper, but they seem to miss what's actually happened. When the 250w limit was implemented, most bikes were 24v and operating around 15 amps, so something like 350w to 400w maximum input power about 10 years ago, the majority of ebikes switched over to 36v and most were around 14...

You can buy a reasonable used bike for £100, then fit whatever kit you want, or you can buy a really super bike for around £400 and have the ebike of your dreams. There are 48v versions of your battery. I've seen them on several fat bikes. Just do a google image search to find them, however...

Adequate towball racks for two electric bikes start at about £70. Reasonable ones are around £200. A really good one is £350 to £500. The last towbar I had fitted was about £200. Dealerships always charge around triple the price for a towbar. All they do is phone up the local mobile towbar...

If you like doing what you read on the internet, have a go at this. Not only will it save you thousands of pounds in food bills, but they say that you'll be much healthier for it. After you've tried it for yourself, have another think about what you're doing with your battery and what Bosch...

If you don't want to hit the 2x2 with a mallet, you can lever it like this.

Whichever is the cheapest.

Only EAPCs are exempt from registration etc, regardless of what class a vehicle is certified to. Anything over 250w rating is not an EAPC. Simples!

That's unfortunate. Your connector is soldered directly to the pcb. I've never seen that before on a rack battery. Every pin would be soldered for strength and duribility, tegardless of how many are needed for electrical reasons. The only way forward now would be to follow the tracks on the PCB...

The ones that come up high on the reviews are the ones that spend the most on marketing and the most fluff, smoke and mirrors. How can the Van Moof come up high when nobody has ever bought one?

Do you mean that you can't break the bead off the edge of the rim or you can't lever the loose tyre over the rim. If the former, use a piece of 2x2 and a big mallet with the rim supported on something. If the latter, start to lever the tyre over, then, with tension on it, work the tyre inro the...

I would forget about the freewheel and the chain, though you should keep the chain oiled. You can usually hear when it's dry. There must be some misunderstanding about the freewheel because your bike has a cassette motor that uses freehub gears.

To expand on that, an electric bike that's in L1eA class will be exempt from registration if the motor is rated at 250w or less and not exempt if over 250W, so being in class L1eA doesn’t necessarily make it a moped. L1eA is the class of vehicle it's type approved to.

Which would you prefer? 1. Somebody put your testicles through a mincer. 2. Somebody drill up through your nostril into your brain with a 5mm carbide gun drill. If it's 1, get the Van Moof. If it's 2, get the Giant. Seriously, there are thousands of different electric bikes to choose from...

To be exempted from registration, the motor has to be rated at no more than 250w, the bike must have pedals and a maximum speed of 25kph or less. You can use any exempt bike with a throttle. It's not permitted to sell a 250w bike with a throttle unless it's type approved, which the Radrhino is...

There's no need to wait. Get the wheel rebuilt with 14g spokes and you'll be able to ride your bike again. Are you sure it needs a new chain and freewheel, or is that just an opinion from someone trying to sell you stuff? On your bike, those things should last for thousands of miles. Brake pads...

Nearly all rack batteries have 6 pins. On most of them, 4 pins are not connected by wires on either side. On others, you can have three, four or five pins connected. As I keep trying to tell you, the number of pins connected tells us about how the battery works. Read again all my posts because I...

They made up the story to try and sell you a bike. The reason your spokes broke is mainly your weight, but also probably sub-standard spokes. A wheel rebuild with 14g spokes should cost about £60, which is a lot cheaper than a new bike. You presently have 13g spokes if I remember right. 14g is...

If you don't provide the information, I can't help you further.

Connectors are a weak point on phase wires. Cheap ones usually melt. I'm thinking about why you swapped to a different connector, when you could have just soldered the wires. It's quicker and easier to solder the wires together rather than solder on connectors, and soldered wires give a much...
