    News - DfT: Pedal cycles converted to ‘twist and go’ exempt from type approval

    This has pedals (violet ones!) but can not be pedalled anywhere. I have seen people try. The pedals are just there to conform with the law of the time, they aren't even used to start the motor except in case of a flat battery. OK so I guess used quite often to start the motor... :rolleyes:

    A Simple way to get sheep to get out of your way

    I am too cowardly to ride down anything like that in the first place! As for sheep, yes they can become goats at the worst possible moment usually...

    Battery performance/memory - new Kalkhoff

    I don't believe it has anything to do with the battery. I think it is just calibrating the display so that it knows where max and min voltage are on that particular pack. I am probably wrong but until I did a full discharge my LCD battery monitor showed nonsense and my new LCD is doing exactly...

    Battery performance/memory - new Kalkhoff

    http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_make_batteries_more_reliable_and_longer_lasting_1 Memory effect does not concern modern Li-ion. I quote from the above: "Lithium-ion enters service at peak capacity and starts its decline with use and aging, albeit very slowly. "

    Number Two

    Another afternoon and other than the cable run it is starting to look the job! The SKS mudguards just fit... they are theoretically too small for the tyres I chose (47 mm max. 50 mm mounted) but I knew I was going to squeeze them in. The rear has 15 cm cut off so that when I am in the train the...

    Specialized turbo X modding???

    That would be RAM sw, an EPROM is flashed i.e. the information you put in it stays there even with the power off and no battery. Which also means you can only flash it so many times before there is no more space to write anything to... If you have any questions about how a computer works don't...

    Number Two

    So first ride on a mid-motor pedelec this afternoon, 1.8 km from "the workshop" back home. It goes like the proverbial bat from Hades! The motor does cut off, at what speed I don't know. Just to make things easier for me(...) the external speed sensor "works" when it wants to now. I think that I...

    Lishui Bluetooth Controller, programming the easy way

    So I downloaded the app to see what it looks like on my new smartphone mini-tablet and stumbled on a problem immediately: There is no portrait mode for the interface, if I want a phone on my handlebars I want it upright not horizontal. You could user heavier font weight to make the screen...

    Number Two

    Taking bits off the old bike I look down and the rear tyre has failed on the sidewall! Lucky me I have a "new" bike and brand new tyres. The front derailleur is coming off again, the chainline with the GSM won't allow me to use it as a chain retainer even adjusted all the way over. I am...

    News - DfT: Pedal cycles converted to ‘twist and go’ exempt from type approval

    I think daytime running lights are very useful (helps motorists to think twice before refusing priority...) and will be fitting them before the winter. DIY bikes get 5% less tolerance in maximum speed - 5% instead of 10%. The Germans are pushing forward a condition that most parts must be OEM...

    Bafang 350 watt BBS01 - could I sell it?

    No you set max Amps to 15 Amps the same as the 250 W motor. You do not want to turn it down any more than that. Your 9 assistance levels are percentages of those 15 Amps. You can have a 25 Amp BBS 01 and it will be legal as long as it is marked 250 W, maximum speed 25 km/h - there is a guy in...
