Brakes (hydraulic rim), lights (LED) and puncture free tyres is my list

I am looking for a 20A sine wave controller from a respected source and I think the controller from a BMS 09 battery will suit my purposes. BMS sell the whole deal for about 80€ but I don't need the LCD, throttle (yuck :rolleyes: ) and brake levers. PM me if you have one for sale. Cheers

On the design itself (not going to talk about the price - look here for why http://www.hpvelotechnik.com/produkte/scorpion_fs26_s-pedelec/index_e.html...) why oh why are mudguards always an afterthought? Can't they just show a design where mudguards were part of the thought process and made as...

flecc the first article mentions the throttle to 20 kph then pedals must be turned feature we spoke about in another thread. "Also interesting is the built-in throttle.It ensures the little motorcycle feeling, even if for speeds above 20 km / h something must be entered into the pedals, which...

Ah ha! Some may be starting to realise why I never wasted my time with facethingy. Blogger would have been my choice but I have just stuck to a plain old html web site for my other activities. The php one was hacked so often I dropped php for personal stuff.

I came here looking for help building a mid drive bike on the cheap and here I am with a rear hub motor and giving advice and being cheeky! Sound advice from many here opened my mind. OK so my next build will be a mid motor :D The bike nerds are on endless sphere, the every day riders are on...

Your German is better than mine :p I can't understand why anyone wants to ride off road on a bumpy slippery surface, tar sealing is so nice and smooth. Is my kiwi farmers son who used to chase cattle on a Honda 125 side showing? I mean it wasn't fun it was work back then :eek:

You forgot to wind it up? :rolleyes:

On one of the German sites they say: - if you have a suspended seat post remove 5 cm from the "correct" size - sporty riding style then remove 4 cm from "correct size Which encouraged me to stay with my 47 cm low bar (ladies sport bike) frame. With the 28" wheels and extra length it is MUCH...

There is a three speed too for a 100€ less.

Not the only one, no. I met a couple of Germans downstairs with two of these. They kindly let me try fitting the battery inside my low bar frame (it does fit)

This is what I will put on my next build 90€, 70 lux, powered directly from the battery and daytime running leds which I hope will help in roundabouts and other intersections "oh he arrived so fast I didn't see him" will be much harder to sell, won't it ladies? Sorry girls but my current...

Not to mention pedestrians crossing wherever they choose dressed in black. I dress in dark colours but always cross on pedestrian crossings at night. Just in case... I'm sure it will make my sons richer when the insurance company pays out... :eek: We have the obligatory fluorescent jacket law...

The Nexus Inter 8 has much better press than the 7. It appears to use more recent technology to have smoother, quieter changes which in turn must mean better reliability. I am just repeating what I read when looking for a hub myself. This shows that it is more efficient in 5th and 6th gears...

b+m IQ 30 lux front, the first bike light I have ever owned that makes oncoming cars dip their lights before they come around the corner and then don't high beam me because I am dazzling them. b+m rear which is plenty bright enough according to SWMBO who has followed me home in town a couple of...

I would need a decent job first... OK, sorry, I'll play along - a HPVelotechnik Gekko fx26 with a 250W BB motor and as much battery as spare change would allow. Comfortably seated for long range travels and insane downhill speeds :rolleyes:

Smart who????:rolleyes:

A Rohloff can handle the torque, only adds 1000€ to the price of the bike :cool:

You have a typo at the beginning: "Americans (who are good) " should read Americans (who have bad Middle East foreign policy since they started playing with the Shah of Iran) short version (who have always been bad in the Middle East) Otherwise you are on the money
