    probably not. It's the remainers who are too prude to ask for it.

    Is Green Aviation Really Coming?

    I don't think it's necessary. My android tablet uses very little power, about 10WH per day, about 50p worth of electricity a year. The main threat is transport.

    83.6% Anti-Dumping Tariff on Chinese E-bike. Where the Market will go?

    I just paid anti dumping duty this morning. You pay normal duty and VAT, they are under A00 on the C88 form. Then you pay 37% AD levy, + 20% VAT on the levy, they are B00 on the C88 form.

    niobium tungsten oxides

    one of those fast e-car charger is installed in London Road, Southend, opposite Sainsbury's. It seems quite popular, always in use every time I walk passed it.

    niobium tungsten oxides

    I don't know how soon you can charge your 500WH battery in under 1 minute but that implies that the mains socket has to deliver at least 30KW. Just imagine the size of a domestic 30KW charger!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    more people now think that brexit should be abandoned altogether (27%) than those who think 'no more concession', even leave without a deal (24%). http://www.deltapoll.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/SunSunday_Brexit_Deltapoll180714.pdf

    Motor Cutting Out

    I meant to say that the controller reacts by changing the amount of current it puts through the motor whose rotational speed is proportional to the current. At some point, a drop in current may cause the motor spin slower than the speed of your bike, that causes the clutch to disengage. When the...

    Motor Cutting Out

    Please check that the magnet disc behind the chainring is still parallel to the ring and the air gap between the magnet disc and the sensor head is at the recommended 3mm distance. no programming algorithm is perfect on a cadence sensor because all the controller sees is the assist level and...

    Motor Cutting Out

    3 may be too low for flatish roads, try 5, 6, and 7. The Big Bear can climb quite well even in those high gears.

    Which hub motor for my handbike (Q100H?)

    I can't work out the arrangement inside the cockpit but as a suggestion, how about between the two footrests?

    Motor Cutting Out

    check the air gap between the magnet disc and the pedal sensor, it should be about 3mm. There is also another situation where the motor may skip on the Big Bear. When you are on a low gear, the power ramp up is quite strong, accelerating your bike too quickly, the controller will then cut the...

    Which hub motor for my handbike (Q100H?)

    if you make a plastic/wooden box 40cm x 11cm x 11cm (internal dimensions) as a footrest, you could keep/lock all the electrics inside then it's easy to fit the XF08C kit to your trike. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#xf08ckit

    Commuting on roads on FS and HT

    how about riding position? Sit up is better for commuting, you don't have to pedal hard at all with a cadence sensored bike. If you worry about the suspension, fit a good suspension seat post like the SP12 NCX

    Can i dump the crappy Brake Levers

    you can remove the Hall switch from the supplied lever and mount it somewhere on the handlebar or on a bar extension to experiment how practical it is. The problem happens in tight cornering when you control the speed with pedaling, your bike may be on high assist, that's fine with a torque...
