In Brussels, meanwhile, all mention from the original EU backstop of a customs territory is being scrubbed from the withdrawal agreement, to be replaced with arcane references to regulation No 952/2013, which deals with the rules of the EU’s customs territory that would...

    Rear hub drive comparison lists or tables?

    best for hill: 48V SWX02 kit but you'd need a Sunrace freewheel to replace the cassette. Next choice is XF08C. It can take 8-speed, 9-speed and 10-speed cassettes. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#swx02-48v-kit

    it could be that they have personally a stake in EU laws but I think it's more likely that it's just the traditional jostling for the top job.

    Conversion kit to match Carrera Vulcan

    that graph was of a H4540, a direct drive motor. I picked it for the shapes of the plots. I could not find the same for the XF08C. Where you see 390 (noload RPM), you should substitute 230, that's the noload RPM for the XF08C. The peak power of the XF08C is 170-180 RPM whereas on the graph...

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    the range depends on speed, gradient, your weight and how much you pedal. Bikes with torque sensors have fixed assist ratios: 2x, 3x or 4x user inputs, while bikes with cadence sensors let you pedal as much as you like. Roughly, the load at 15mph for an average rider is about 180W. Depending on...

    The SWX02 is a lighter version of the Bafang BPM. The way manufacturers market their motors do not follow the same standard so do take the marketing stuff with the appropriate dose of scepticism. for example: motor power. This is not what it says on the label. Take the BBSes, Bafang big money...

    Yamaha, full motor overhaul video

    Great video and thank you for sharing. what would also be useful if you could mention the approximate number of miles that the motor has done. The Yamaha motor looks squeaky clean inside compared to the Bosch in the previous video.

    Conversion kit to match Carrera Vulcan

    manufacturers do not give the RPM at which they measure their motor's torque. The torque is higher at lower RPM, and is very high at near stalling speed which is meaningless in practice because you cannot ride the bike at too low speed. The chart below describes the approximate behaviour of the...

    motors are parts of systems - what comes out of your motor depends essentially on the controller, the wheel diameter, the battery, the bike weight and gradient of the road you are on.. I use the motor emulator at http://www.ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html I recommend it to anyone who wants to...

    Conversion kit to match Carrera Vulcan

    the XF08C is torquier than the Suntour HESC. The XF08C is also a little larger and heavier. The HESC system runs at 15A max, the XF08C at 17A.

    Conversion kit to match Carrera Vulcan

    the maximum torque for the XF08C is 40-45NM, I asked Mxus to modify their 300W motor to make it legal 250W.

    Conversion kit to match Carrera Vulcan

    I would recommend the XF08C. A rear hub gives better traction on wet roads. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#xf08ckit This is a converted Carrera Bantu to give you an idea what it looks like after the conversion:

    Road bike conversion

    it comes with 11T-34T 9-speed cassette. For wider range, you should consider the TSDZ2 kit with double chain rings (18-speed), slightly lighter and more powerful.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we told the EU all along: we want some features of the single market like free circulation of goods and services and none of the rest. At the top of our list: no payment (because the EU sells already more to us than us them so we do them a favour), no freedom of movement, we want foreign workers...

    Gove would be my choice to replace May. He may be able to shut up the ERG and get a deal through parliament.

    he does not have to be the top candidate. Second best in the first round is equally good. TM was given the job by MPs, not this time, the ERG will get their man in.
