    Torque sensor crank drive

    looks stunningly like the Mxus with torque sensor but we can't se the other side... ;) Or is it Xofo??? One or the other does a torque sensor mid-drive.

    No freewheel on new BPM 2 hub from BMS battery

    And once you put on a free-wheel or a cassette it will turn freely.

    New BB 2 speed drive

    Come ride around Hendaye a bit with me. Or Errenteria :eek: Some places just need that extended range - a nice big cog for downhill and flats and a small cog for some of the climbs. Pinion gives that range. In a special frame for more weight. Or you can have a front derailleur for less cost and...

    From Zephyr to Big Bear maybe?

    You don't park your bikes vertically? Your shed isn't tall enough :p

    I'm going to save the Ogre!

    Do you have a brand name for such a bicycle? Most German bikes have German, Swiss or Japanese motors.

    Accident with a pedestrian on my ebike

    Easter meant the start of the tourist season and I am once again among the fastest vehicles from point a to point b!:cool: Only mopeds and motorbikes are faster than a pedelec during the tourist season. I am over 60 and can still do over 35 km/h on the flat on the right bike. But we don't have...

    From Zephyr to Big Bear maybe?

    It can be done, without a throttle even. But IMO it is much easier to carry a chain tool and a spare link or two. Oh and don't forget the gloves! And the only chains I have ever seen being repaired were always MTB chains up on the mountain and there you need to be able to fix otherwise you are...

    Kappstein 3 speed motor

    Same way they did the 2 gear BB probably. I saw this on the site but because it is a internal controller, big, heavy, shiny motor it didn't rock my boat. Their idea is that you couple it with their BB to get 6 gears. How many Amps are available from the controller is the big unknown.

    Has anyone experience of long term reliability of quick connectors?

    Yes they should last a long while, the fragile one being the motor plug, I bent mine once and it isn't even a folding bike :oops: So be careful and always use your plug protector. I would really like to find a source for these standard plugs with pigtails so I can roll my own cabling (or be...

    BEWO 350W 48V Mid Drive for sale

    Yes it is the same. From memory (a year ago?) reading the posts on ES by a Greek engineer who mounted one I think he had to file the inside of his BB a little. Runs at either 36 or 48 V, the controller is the only change. Edit: Tianjin Bewo Technology Co I think it was abbreviated to Tianjin...

    New BB 2 speed drive

    It isn't cheap: 500€ But just imagine with a 35 tooth cog = the equivalent of a 53-35 chainring. 14 well spaced gears to go head to head with the Rohloff at half the price... And a nice straight chainline because only one sprocket on the front. As you say very important bit of kit

    New BB 2 speed drive

    http://kappstein.de/en/products/doppio/?___store=en Just saw this in bike.eu newsletter. This would complement a hub motor with 7 speed cassette/freewheel very nicely.

    BEWO 350W 48V Mid Drive for sale

    They have been around for a while (since 2013?) but are not mainstream, Woosh used them at one time IIRC. I also like the external controller and it will run at either 36V or 48V and it has a 48 tooth chainring.

    Riderless Ebikes?

    Is skunk weed legal in the UK too now? Ah student days, sitting in dark smoke filled rooms listening to Pink Floyd on the quadrophonic set-up imagining a better world full of passenger less electric vehicles going about their business... So there you are arriving at the station calling your...

    Time for a bigger trike - which BBS02?

    Carefully remove the cable outer over about 3 cm. If the cables have the same colours (you never know with the Chinese...) label them before cutting.

    Quick question about batteries..

    I was being cheeky. They changed the internal gear ratio IIRC. That would privilege torque over speed.
