    About to purchase Kalkhoff Agattu 8 - advice appreciated

    My GF is about your height and loves her 28" wheel bike. Living by the sea it is getting to the point where the rust has to be removed and she is wondering if she wants it painted metallic pink... As a fashion statement! The other colour she likes is metallic baby blue. Now that she has seen my...

    Number Two

    No photos today because I was doing the greasy bits. Most of what was on the old bike has been moved over. I just need a longer rear brake cable, put the front derailleur on and cable the rear derailleur for Number Two to become a bicycle again. I have been having PAS issues, the same ones...

    You could of course set assistance level to 0 and have lights with no pedal assistance.

    Hello from Tasmania

    Is that an ammo box full of RC lipo? And your headlight is pretty orgasmic! Or you are out chasing Wallabies? :D As for dropping the bike in the wet, is it ever not raining? :rolleyes: Nice bike!

    About to purchase Kalkhoff Agattu 8 - advice appreciated

    Nope! I highered then lowered for the same reasons as the OP and wrote about it too :p But I disagree on the use of assistance. For me the assistance button replaced the front derailleur. I use it as if I was changing chainrings. Result: a regular 70 km from a 10.4 Ah battery which gives about...

    Can you get a 48v controller that you can set a wattage limit on?

    Can you get a 48v controller that you can set a wattage limit on?

    ??? Your motor is rated for 250 W nominative/continuous? It is continuous rated motor Watts which make a bike legal or not. 48 V is the maximum authorised voltage so you have no issues there. Controllers are rated in Amps so you can have a 15 Amp or a 25 Amp 48 V controller. Your call...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    You need slick tyres to stop shorter on that surface! Do you have a bald spot now? The bike I recovered has a nice bald spot from braking but it is a cheap Chinese tyre.

    L1e-A testing requirements

    OK I think I have got my head around it now: In the same way that national requirements are stopping the sale and use of s-pedelecs in all countries bar 3 or 4 it is the moped equipment requirements for L1e-A that stop it being useful for people who require throttles. Effectively, bundling low...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have stayed out of your conversations to date but I do have a few remarks: The two countries above have the highest rates of tax evasion and corruption in the Euro zone. Does that mean that I am linking tax evasion and corruption to high levels of unemployment? Yes I am! France with 10%...

    Bit confused about the Bosch Drive Unit Performance CX

    The other day on a TV "scientific show" the oldest guy - +50 - got on a fixed bike thingy attached to a meter and produced 666 W for a brief period of time (cadence 180). If the Bosch peaks at 612 W it would be a 17 Amp controller. Ciclotek sells 17 Amp controllers for their Mxus hubs.

    Bit confused about the Bosch Drive Unit Performance CX

    That means they use a 20 Amp controller and it can provide that amount of power with a 36 V battery hot off the charger. The rest of the time it will peak at around 720 W - 130 W less.
