Which is why I love my Magura hydraulic rim brake. On the way to the station I get to about 55-60 km down the big hill and at the bottom there is an intersection. People seeing a bike coming often cut across in front of me, not realizing that I am going at that speed, and I have never had a...

Have to start cutting back on the cake then... :D

Have you seen the e-bike menu choice on the HK site? Down the bottom they have an e-vehicle option. Nothing in the menu yet other than some cameras under e-bike accessory.

Hydraulic V-brakes are very good. Good enough to do fully controlled stoppies. I have seen cheap mechanical disks fail that badly. I think 60+ year old men doing stoppies scare drivers a lot more than spotty faced teens doing the same do :D "Ooops sorry sir I just pulled into this roundabout in...

Just tried ordering from the UK warehouse because EU is out of stock for 2 months now. They can't or won't ship batteries to France... Brexit is a reality! :D

When I get around to the nexus 8 I will lace it into a DT Swiss rim brake e-bike rim. Then I will take it to LBS to have it trued. I will make a matching wheel for the front too. I am looking at my options for my hub motor still but will probably go the same way, lace it into a rim and have it...

No need for helmets in those countries. The Germans do wear one anyway. If you go to Spain a helmet is required outside city limits. Reflective jacket after sundown. Lights, front and rear. Wheel reflectors, rear and front reflectors. A bell. Those are for France, probably good ideas for the...

bikediscount.de now do b+m e-bike lights so I am going for the Lumotec IQ Cyo T with the handlebar mount and a Toplight Mini for a grand total of 80 € I would love to spend 360 € on the supernovas front and rear but that would represent about 50% of the cost of my bike! 100 € more than the GSM...

I don't have much of value that is attached with an Allen key. Magura front brake is Torx. Rack is chained. Kriptonite with cable on the way for front wheel and seat. Mudguards???

I am about to buy a Kriptonite with cable for the front wheel and the seat. I already have a frame lock for the rear wheel with a chain to attach to urban furniture. Hoping that this will put off the casual thief, nothing will stop an angle grinder! People carrying battery powered angle...

You won the lottery? Cashed in your pension? :D Jealous, yes sir I am! I was thinking about a plug for my lowly b+m and think that I may use XT-30s for convenience.

Didn't try it. I am using my bottle battery and 10S LiPo so stuck with the 36V controllers. I may venture into 12S when I extend my LiPo pack but will grab a 48 V controller as per d8veh's recommendation. The motor is barely warm at the top of my 3.8 km climb even unrestricted. The 10S battery...

I ride a lot on the open road. My average speed is 26.7 km/h with cutoff set to 25 km/h. The motor helps climb at between 16 and 19 km/h with a bit of effort from me. Then it is all downhill at between 35 and 55 km/h and no assistance. One day soon I will try out this "flat land" of which you...

Cost. Retailers want attractive price stickers. Maintenance. It isn't as easy for your average Joe to change a flat tyre with a hub gear. Weight. Means they have to be built into higher quality rims with better spokes, see point one. On a side note pinion have brought out a cheaper gearbox...

And ergonomics? You are in design conscious Sweden you should be worried about ergonomics. Long lines of text are harder to read, scientific fact.

Skip Extra make my custom battery boxes! :cool: Seriously those boxes of washing liquid/powder are just the right size for LiPo bricks protecting them from rubbing on sharp things and perforation.

Oruxmaps has ant+ support and I was intrigued about what it did. Well basically everything we need: https://www.thisisant.com/developer/ant-plus/device-profiles/#527_tab If a very intelligent e-bike company was to implement ant+ support on components it would have a killer product on its...

If ever they do English language classes at that police station maybe... OK I'll go take my pills now :rolleyes:
