Not on your lap... :D If you laptop doesn't survive an accident in its padded carry bag it is usually a serious accident. Worst problem is water and for that I use rubbish bags to keep everything dry.

"Electronic bike" so maybe the front man ("communication of very important stuff to the public, officer") could take some English language classes? :rolleyes:

These look like they might work http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/shimano-steps-crank-set-fc-e6000-without-chainring-531464/wg_id-17871

OK I understand better now.

@soundwave we know you are up for it but we want photographic proof :)

Normal, they have all our money...

A small cheap motorbike trailer would work better for a small car @Suseka. You can get one for £50 on e-bay.

Looking for something else I came across this thread again What do you mean by unrestricted? I can't get mine to use more than 15 Amps - controller maximum - and that is enough for 40-45 km/h in 5th or 6th gear on the flat. I am burning through the Watt hours rather quickly but the battery...

Cunning Chinese! Now if only the mainland Chinese would get interested in good industrial design like that... Back in the day I read that Giant's design studio was in the USA (California?), is that still the case?

I adapt to the situation, passing where there is space and after making my presence and intentions clear to the car in front. Some don't like it but that is their problem not mine. By the time they get moving again i am often at my destination. Most of the grumpy motorists come from regions of...

Not in EN 15194, it is ONE motor. In flecs example when the motor is closed it is considered as one motor with one drive shaft. This has probably not been tested in law but the text is pretty clear that they only allow one motor.

There are racks that mount on the axle and there are P-clamps https://www.evanscycles.com/tortec-p-clips-00120876

Me too. Mine is a smartphone in sheep's clothing, er, something like that. It doesn't have a SIM card so it ain't a phone just a smaller tablet. If I need to phone someone in an emergency I ask them to use their phone, costs less than a mobile phone plan :D

I skipped the IGH bit sorry!

£150!!! That is slightly more than 59€ for a cheap smartphone... Opencyclingmap is a layer over openstreetmaps. And the advantage is you can also have Strava and a GPS application for the boat and whatever on the same device as long as you have the memory. Dedicated GPS for me is a non starter...

No, sorry trex :p There is a screw on freewheel sprocket. But you may have beltline issues with a hub motor. You would need an eccentric bottom bracket to tension the belt. More seriously a chain fully enclosed in a Hebie Chainglider is just as clean and the quarter of the price of a belt drive...

So you wear rain gear to your destination and have a dry set of rain gear in your bag for the return journey? :eek:

Yes, a 7-8 speed cassette hub motor is as wide as a stock hub with a 9-11 speed cassette. 135 to 138 mm dropout width. Table here: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html

It depends on your frame whether the 11 speed will fit or not. When I mounted mine it said "maximum 8 speed" and the 7 speed slipped in without having to spread the dropouts. Steel frame yes, aluminium no for spreading wider. Best bet with an 11 speed would be to mount a mid-drive kit.
