    Torque

    It's a Direct Drive hub motor so will have fairly low torque though high speed. It may well have no more or even less torque than your original Freego Hawk motor, just a speed gain. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Italians can't speak, they're the worst for food fraud, been caught for everything from chemically doctored wine to olive oil thinned with other oils! Now their olive trees are suffering disease they'll probably be doing the latter again shortly. :( .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Greeks though are far from blameless. Greek yoghurt is supposed to be made from sheeps milk too, but much of their production of this now is from cows milk and it's nothing like the same thing. That makes me wonder how faultless their feta production is. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They're not very happy about this feta name issue in Yorkshire. The EU Commission rejected an application for protection of the Yorkshire Pudding name, saying it's a generic term. Question, so why is feta not a generic term for sheeps milk cheese? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This one is Mrs Judy Bell, who runs Shepherds Purse Cheeses near Thirsk in the North Riding. A very spirited Bell, she enthusiastically went to war against the EU over the feta name ruling. Although she had to concede in the end, her alternative name of Fine Fettle Cheese cheekily mimicks...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We did have an Italian pasta company in London Road, St Albans for many years, but that's closed now. And we do make Smirnoff fake Russian vodka here. We do make genuine sheeps milk feta cheese here in both Sussex and Yorkshire at least, but after the Yorkshire company lost a court case we had...

    For some weird reason your identical link won't activate for me, but this one does despite being the same? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ease_of_doing_business_index The only difference I can see is that yours doesn't retain the underline after being used. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not so, we'll have our own, designed by our brilliant scientists who created such successes as the Bristol Brabazon, the Saunders-Roe Princess, the Dounreay reactor, the British Rail APT, the cross channel hovercraft car ferries and TSR 2. What could possibly go wrong? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not so, haven't you heard, the UK is re-entering space research and operations. Now we are leaving the EU we will also be free to do as we please, so the next move will be to re-establish a British Empire to feed us and keep us in luxury once again. This time it will be in space as we...

    The Great Shaft Drive Search

    Looks good as the basis of the low maintenance commuter you want, and has the desired twin chainstays too. I'm not up to speed on today's front hub motors but hopefully there'll be some suggestions coming in. You haven't mentioned the terrain or whether you're looking for light assistance or...

    Battery lost capacity

    Repeatedly yes, but the specific instruction for these BMZ manufactured batteries is to run right to empty two or three times to establish the zero point for the built in potential capacity gauge to be accurate. The OP has measured 40% capacity but without running to to empty at least once that...

    battery musings?

    I got my new 2018 Leaf in July but only now have low enough temperatures to comment. This morning with the outside temperature 4 degrees C and the climate control set to 21 degrees, it was very comfortable within a half mile. So I agree and don't understand what the complaints were about, the...

    Battery lost capacity

    That means you only have around 40% capacity left after too long in storage uncharged. You can try the running to cut-off and then fully charging, doing this two or more times to see if there's any gain each time on the capacity test. .
