    Why many ebikes exceed UK/EU maximum of 250W

    Theo, you need about 6WH to 15WH per mile, depending on how much you pedal and how hilly your terrain. A 400WH battery (36V 11AH) gives you a range about 40 miles on average. Batteries are the most expensive part of any e-bikes. You have to pay for the WH, so a 500WH battery will cost 25% more...

    that depends if MPs can wrestle the order paper from the maybot this Wednesday. If they can't, JC will call for a vote of no confidence. BTW, the revoke A50 petition reaches nearly 3 million mark (2,668,994 signatures at this time). https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584 Anyone wants...

    she's just a soundbite machine for the conservative party. Nothing new or worthwhile to say. No wonder that the maybot nickname sticks.

    Why many ebikes exceed UK/EU maximum of 250W

    there is often the misconception that the instantaneous power of an e-bike motor must not exceed 250W. The specification is not it, e-bike motors must operate reliably at the nominal power rating. It's a guarantee. You and your bike only need 180W to 200W to ride on electric at 15mph on a flat...

    you didn't watch the TV. TM has asked for an extension and given an unconditional one until April 12. Brexit is not going to happen on the 29th, deal or no deal.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they are symptomatic of the malaise that remainers feel cheated by the tories. My guess is shortly after we brexit, TM will be replaced by someone in the ERG , more conservative MPs will join the TIGGERS , JC will call a no confidence vote and we'll have fresh GE. Remainers are not going to...

    what's not real? the petition? these people will not likely vote for the tories again. Last count: 2,138,983

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    neither. the bottleneck is the verification process. New petitioners can always sign up, the server stops sending and processing confirmation emails to lessen the load. You only have to wait a couple of hours. My guess it will hit 3 millions in the morning. This is exciting from the point of...

    Tapered vs straight steerer?

    I like tapered steerers but I'd say not much difference.

    there is just one from North Korea. It could well be spoofed by anyone willing to post a prank. It's the big number that count. So far, 991,510 from GB out of 1,032,048 petitioners, 96%.

    Help on choosing conversion kit please

    he's limited to a £500 budget. A powerful kit needs a powerful battery, even a BBS01B CD kit would go over his £500 and force him to buy a Chinese celled battery to save money. The XF08C is a good motor. The controller can pump 36V x 17A, enough acceleration for 17st rider to ride comfortably.

    If you take France as a yardstick, about 300,000 Brits live in France, 7600 have aldeady signed the petition, that's over 2%. Tuvalu is ex British colony, so you would normally expect some are British Nationals. Even if only 1% are UK nationals, that's 120 people and probably half of them are...

    there are a lot of Brits abroad. 4% of Brits living overseas is roughly about right.
