    Buying the right bike for the right reasons

    You wouldn't catch me dead riding in mud and rain (rain on the hard sealed road is enough) but I will row in anything. My favorite row in the rain story is one Sunday morning in Spring I hurried to set off because I knew what was coming. I had done about 750 metres before the sky opened but as I...

    Sunrunner 24v bike repair

    From ES "Most likely the long term storage without disconnecting the bms or recharging the battery regularly has led to the bms discharging one or two cells. The BMS runs on less than pack voltage, and over a few months can discharge the cells it runs on. You will need to acess the battery...

    What's the best 250 watt...

    Nope I dropped the return trip from my calculation because it is downhill and you shouldn't be using a Watt (I don't). So I measured over 18.5 km and 116 wh was that correct? It is kind of difficult to hook a Watt meter into a Bosch or Panasonic system compared to just plugging it in before the...

    What's the best 250 watt...

    Thanks "someone" just did the math and you are using 10 Watts / mile. Up a small mountain that means you are a very strong rider and it is normal that you are only asking for 250 Watts. I am wearing street clothes and asking the motor for a little more help so as not to get sweaty and use a...

    Anywhere to hire an e-bike before buying?

    10 years ago that was a lot to pay for a bike. It didn't have a Li-ion battery. With quality cells these retail up to £475 on the European market. You can import for less (slightly less once you factor in VAT and freight etc.). So with inflation and all the extra e-bike stuff £1500 isn't such...

    What's the best 250 watt...

    You aren't listening: the only way to know how much power a motor is producing is with a Watt meter. My Watt meter says that my motor is producing 480 Watts peak. It also gives Vm, Ap, Wh etc. It is a measuring instrument measuring the flow of electricity from the battery to the controller, it...

    What's the best 250 watt...

    How long is it? That would help us calculate Watts / km. The only accurate way to know how many Watts your motor is providing is with a Watt meter. Many of us have those and my Watt meter shows over 250 W for my hub motor. I have seen readings over 540 W when I wasn't fit, now I am fit and I...
