    Looking for advice on a bike that could cover a 50 mile distance with ease

    I estimate that I could get about 106 km from a 17 Ah battery thrashing it i.e. lots of assistance level 3 to 5. About 118 km riding more conservatively.

    Prototype Maglev Transrapid technology

    The article was sickening to read, WTF was all that about cheating? It is a light weight e-bike (with another non user changeable battery) with interesting technology on board. Why must it automatically become a tool for cheating in pro racing?

    Is £800 enough money to spend on an everyday ride to work bike.

    Sondors is at it again with a cheap "ordinary" bike. His $690 fat bike has quite good components when compared to more expensive offerings. When did you last read Panasonic or Samsung cells on the description of a Bosch battery pack? The only way to know what they are using is to crack the pack...

    New GSM kit fitted but will not kick in on hills ?

    Are all the problems you are speaking of with the internal controller version? Thinking outside the box here: I am already going to be opting for the external controller version, what if I also opt for a external 12 magnet PAS? IIRC there were people opting for an external controller on the...

    Will bafang brake sensor work with GSM kit?

    I have bought a "horn" button which I will solder to the two wire red plug. If it doesn't work out I still have the option of modifying my Magura hydraulic brake lever to accept the brake cut off switch. Modified brake levers will always look better than the ones supplied with the kit and also...

    Looking for advice on a bike that could cover a 50 mile distance with ease

    If you are reasonably fit and the road permits you can average 25 kmh/15 mph, I have averaged 26.4 kmh over 72 km (riding not counting time stopped for a rest, food etc.). That was in fair weather and on hilly terrain.

    Will bafang brake sensor work with GSM kit?

    Doesn't override depend on the controller and PAS set-up? My hub motor continues to spin clutch engaged for a short time (because of RPM I guess) after the power is cut but it isn't pushing the bike forward it slows with the bike and the inertia of a couple of kilos of spinning magnets is a...

    adjusting gears

    Yes at 135 mm there is no problem fitting an 8 speed. If we knew the motor kit type we could tell you if it is a cassette or a freewheel. If you need a freewheel you will be looking for a Sunrace which comes in either 13-32 or 13-34. Shimano only go up to 7 speed in freewheels. There is also a...

    Lights output from 09 bottle battery controller

    Today's question: Does the 09 bottle battery controller have a connection for lights, 36 V or 6 V I don't mind either? I.e. one that would turn the lights on from the LCD-3 button press.
