What controller will switch between 36 and 48 V on the fly?

Usually you don't need so many gears with a motor. An 11-34 8 speed should be enough and will fit. 32 width tyre would be my absolute bottom limit with a 3 kg hub motor. A fat rear and a skinny front works OK and I have never had anyone come up to me and say "yuck your rims aren't identical"...

I am talking about offline maps that are loaded into the SD card. I have France North, France South, Pyrenees and Spain - Portugal which take up about 3.7 Gb. I don't have a phone so no connection required. This is my new tablet computer: I could be a phone too I guess... :rolleyes:

This might help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II The French are really quite nice people. My three sons are French so I may be biased. I also love the Spanish. I have met a few nice English people but not when I was living there...

Yes that will push you quickly down the road. You say light off road on weekends = no mudplugging or jumps? Any hybrid with decent mixed tyres will do for off road on paths. I like the look of this one https://www.evanscycles.com/specialized-crosstrail-sport-disc-2016-hybrid-bike-EV212228

In the English language it is a "bike carrier". As Leighping has pointed out a bike rack is something attached to a bike... :D

4 kg loss in the first month. That was all I had to lose though.

Second electric folder, the first is a bafang unit http://www.ternbicycles.com/bikes/472/elink

Oruxmaps with openstreetmap cycle maps = free on android tablet or phone. You can also switch to "hiking" or "car" whenever you want to. I only use the maps for the Pyrenees but they are very good either on foot or on the bike.

Yes you can combine with the nexus, the nexus uses the same parts as the Alfine. Or moving the motor to the middle which would me even better handling. I have ridden all three and mid-drive is the absolute best handling. I feel that a sports type bike would need 28-622 (28 x 1.10, 700x28C) with...

If you want speed a 500 W - 1000 W Bafang mid drive with the right gears is the way to go.

A hange? :rolleyes:

It was the BBS01 on the original Tern e-folder, I have seen a couple around here. http://www.ternbicycles.com/bikes/472/elink

Hmmmm... I will have to try this Strava thing one of these days. You have estimated peaks of over 1000 W. We know the bike is capable of about 540 W maybe 600 W in a pinch on full power so you are providing quite a bit yourself. Congratulations on the 8.6% average climb over 10 plus km! How did...

Those of us who have a pedelec as means of transport disapprove this multi bike hoarding! :D But seriously once I have ironed out the wrinkles on my current steed I just happen to have a spare 26" hub motor laying about in the shed... Cargo trike or folder? Early days yet but a bike for...

It isn't the power it is the beam shape that is important for oncoming traffic.

G-tech: Trendy matt white Better looking mudguards Black tyres (don't know about quality) Less wires on the bars, yes no gears but also no cutoff wires No gears but belt drive Alamo: Horrible colour 8 gears but we don't know which ones... Bafang motor better battery integration Yucky Tyres...

You would get points if: The frame was not seagull poo colour The tyres were Schwalbe Duranos The mudguards were mounted closer to the tyres You said what cassette gearing is - 11-34??? Are two brake cutoffs really necessary with a Bafang hub drive? Wouldn't just on the rear brake do? I might...

Yes there is a big difference between supermarket no brand tubes and Schwalbe tubes. Especially on bikes ridden by teenage sons.

My bottom of the line suntours have improved my riding experience. But I only ride on the road, I think high end or not may only be of importance off road.
