So went to Decathlon and wouldn't you know! They only do screw on freewheels on their 28" wider wheels... I said OK I'll take an 11-28 screw on freewheel :rolleyes: and the guy shrugged and gave me my money back. To cut a short story even shorter, ordered from Taylor Wheels (and saved 1.66€...

I pop in every now and then to the showroom in S. Sebastian and I like the look a whole lot. They look very well finished and the Yamaha and Brose bikes are the ones I prefer.

You lose a whole heap below 36 V D8ve. The lipo cliff on my Multistars is around 35.4 V (3.54 V per cell).

I liked the way SLAs were sometimes carried vertical on the rack: - CG is kept low - the weight is directly over the rear axle This to me is a much better solution than in a cage on top of the rack.

Different types of bike frame means that 44 cm is not the same thing Here is the bike discount frame size calculator

Below is the legislation in detail in the "langue de Molière", Google does quite well at translating it. It goes to show that a country inside the EU can sway the rest if the Union to adopt particular laws, maybe the UK could do the same with full speed throttles on pedelecs? --- Depuis 1992...

http://electrek.co/2016/05/23/tesla-founder-marc-tarpenning-hydrogen-fuel-cells-scam/ I agree with this. And the same goes for rapeseed oil replacing diesel when it is planted, harvested and transported by diesel fuelled vehicles to far off manufacturing plants powered by non renewable...

I feel your pain, I am glad that I am in the EU - no throttles. Did that help? :rolleyes:

All the bits* have arrived, score: England 1 - Germany 0, the motor got here first! :D * MIA the rear wheel, I grabbed one from the rack at Decathlon without looking too closely because I was in a hurry. Wrong width, 13 mm instead of 19 mm 700C! So tomorrow I get to go back and exchange it...

It's for getting on and off the bike...

Look up Hebie Chainglider. It can be fitted to a chain driving a Nexus 8 Inter (or Rohloff) and achieves the same goal as a belt drive for much less €$£. You need a frame with horizontal dropouts for it to work

I dreamt of putting a mid-drive on a Winora Labrador when I first got into this pedelec lark last year. But it has an eccentric BB shell (note to Bafang et al - design a motor adaptor for eccentric BB shells). An old model was on promotion at 1500€, when you know the sum total of all the bits...

A range of 51 e-bikes and not one that ticks all my boxes! OK so I am the niche market client by excellence but come on, why so little variety in frame shapes?

Better by design: - they are un-powered wheels so they turn at different speeds - if you go too fast in many situations the single rear wheel will lose grip and slide - you are braking with two wheels so it stops quicker -... A classic trike with single wheel on the front needs to have a very...

There is a UK source for sunrace thread on freewheels just in case you don't find a cassette motor: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/sunrace-8-speed-freewheel-13-32t-prod22244/

I see it also gives the weather forecast :rolleyes: what is the umbrella for?

OK I'll write to Andy. I don't want any wires on my GSM build ;)

Please PM me details of how to get my hands on one of those dongles.

They are the same motor and controller. The stamping in the casing is different and the controller is programmed in the factory BUT a programming cable is available and many "250 W" motors have been reprogrammed to 18 amps (along with other values). Actual Amps would be 7 A x 36 V = 252 W and...

I was thinking SRAM e-matic, I doubt they would use a Xiongda.
