    1000 miles in a velomobile

    http://www.katanga.eu/1700-km-1000-miles-in-one-week/ Is a velomobile with a bafang BBS an EAPC? In doubt I published this here. This is exactly the type of vehicle and journey I would hope to attain within the next couple of years (after a boat build in 2017). An American kit for the Catrike...

    Chinese Mid-Drive Crank Motors

    Take the cheapest Bosch bike and undercut it's price by 20%, it will sell. I would say between £1150 and £1250 which puts the price just over the £1000 maximum you are so set on in the UK. But the customer must perceive the Max powered bike as having more value.

    Capacity measurement of bosch batteries 2017

    The LCD-3/5 has a real time voltage reading on screen 3. I ride with that screen on when I have the lipo on board, for me it is more interesting than knowing how many Watts the motor is pulling. You can see the sag and as soon as I get near 36.5 V I start reducing assistance levels/listening for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Despite EU regulations a man died during human trials of a drug in France. There are confirmed reports of continued testing in Africa outside of any regulations at all. With shoestring research budgets you will go back to boffins in white coats inventing stuff in garden sheds. Perhaps that is a...

    Will an ebike last a 3 hour shift?

    I watched a program on TV a few weeks ago about these new delivery companies. The person "hiring" did an inspection of the delivery guy's bikes and refused those whose bike wasn't safe. Having ridden my MTB before it was converted I decided it's cheap Tektro front brake had to be the first...

    Transport Minster - new cycling policy?

    Come on with a name like that you know he was Italian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettore_Bugatti And in Italy it is the city that dictates the makers colour so Ferrari is yellow, Alfa Romeo is red and so on. The national colours came much later.

    Transport Minster - new cycling policy?

    No. Your "logic" is flawed that is all. Don't worry, at the moment flawed logic is very fashionable!

    cwah does, a bit rich for my budget and how do you connect it to lipo in parallel? It connects without problem to Li-Ion. I just use the HK battery medic, religiously, and after a while you get to know which cells need to be watched and what their weaknesses are by experience.

    Bicycle sidecar

    At last the answer to my question! Your sons. I waited patiently... Some 9 mm ply and you can build a very nice space for them and theme it to your fancy: interstellar craft, pirate ship, ..., limited by your imagination. Don't forget strategic padding and a box for toys.

    Chinese Mid-Drive Crank Motors

    I am one of the few who can't afford one because I can't get a bank loan, some of us have complicated life stories... I am willing to pay up to and over that sum if I could because my bike is my car so I am saving on fuel, maintenance, parking, insurance... I have an average cost per km of...

    Panda Swift Kit

    There is no noticeable drag with a geared hub motor. It may be sticky the first few km but once it is "run in" you will only notice the extra weight. Very easy to install on steel forks, aluminium forks require a torque arm.

    Chinese Mid-Drive Crank Motors

    The motor is in the wheel, the battery and controller in the box at the back, plenty of room for 8 Ah. My questions are where are the foot pegs? and Who let the photoshop guy loose on her t-shirt?... :rolleyes:

    Will an ebike last a 3 hour shift?

    The brakes: - you are only getting levers - the brakes themselves won't be aligned with the rims if you go from 26 to 28" - if you are keeping rim brakes you need to put a hydraulic one on the front (Magura HS11 £50) The best conversion for what you want to do is a decent road bike frame that...
