I watched him on News 24 this morning. Contrived bumbling as usual. I don't think his speech would change anybody's view on brexit, it just confirms that TM's government can't bring itself to accept that there is a cost to brexit and to stop using the patriotic rhetoric.

that would be good riddance and a win win for all, including hard brexiters.

that's nominal power rating for compliance. It simply guarantees that the motor will not overheat at 250W. What determines the capacity of the motor is the controller that is supplied with the motor. The 48V kit is fitted with a 48V 18A controller. A 48V fully charged battery shows 54V. At its...

fit a downtube battery. The weight of the battery is roughly same compared to the weight of the rear motor.

Geared hub motors don't go as far as 1,500W. The most you can get is a rear BPM kit on 700C wheel, 8-speed freewheel fitted, 15AH HL downtube battery (Samsung cells), throttle, PAS, King Meter J-LCD with 5 assist levels, sensored brake levers. £599. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#rearbpmkit

yes the 48V SWX02 kit would do that. It's not small but it's not heavier compared to a BBS02B kit. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#swx02-48v-kit Yes and no. When the motor is running, your chain is under tension. If you change gear when the chain is under tension, the chain will straddle...

we were talking about the legality of 48V in the context of EN15194. Conti does not have any problem with 48V. May be we should all ride 48V bikes!

I agree however, the NuVinci in the Conti motor is placed at the chainring, the torque on it should be less than half of that placed on a gearbox at rear wheel. I would have thought a modified Nuvinci could have replaced the internal belt drive reduction gearbox and saved a bit of weight.

they claim their software is 99.97% accurate, so I should sleep easy.

I would have thought that CVT is particularly good for mid drive motors, you can maintain motor output during ratio shifts. A Rohlhoff would necessitate easing off on power before and during gear shifts.

yes. I have 180mm rotor on mine but it will take 160mm rotor too.

their 36V motor has Isis bb, the 48V has square taper.

straight bananas. and one sized condoms. are they not all EU directives?

see how beautiful this belt drive mid motor bike is, I think it's a major step forward.

only farmers fix their tractors nowadays.

check the voltage display on your LCD. 37V should show as 3 bars on a 5 bar display. if the voltage on your LCD shows full (5 out of 5) then you need to replace the battery in your voltmeter.

excellent find SW.

recheck the setting of your Volt meter. If you select AC instead of DC, you'll get a wrong reading. Check also the output voltage of youur battery against the number of bars on your LCD to confirm the reading on your voltmeter.

for steep gradient, you'd need something like the 48V SWX02 hub kit. This motor has winding code 16, that makes it quite good at climbing hills. The kit comes complete with everything you need, 48V 11.6AH battery, charger, choice of pedal sensor (left, right, Hollowtech, triple chainring), thumb...

how about inflation? in 20 years, the cost of living may be 5 times what it is now.
