    I get that, and I didn't say or imply that anything you said was wrong. Note also that I did not disagree with what you posted either. In one of your earlier posts, you talked about giving the right advice to customers. As I don't have Bosch bikes in my shop, I can't tell someone that 'in your...

    the OP is quite experienced with e-bikes, it's not his first bike either. He can climb hills OK with his Bosch bike except the very exceptionally steep ones. On an easy hill for his other bike(s), he can't get the full power from his Bosch, that's his issue. @ EmoRider: how would you / under...

    Shimano don't make hydraulic brakes with sensor. Only Tektro and Zoom do. If you want to fit Shimano's, you have to get external sensors and glue them to the brake levers.

    'I believe you have hit the nail on the head sir.' The original problem, I hope you don't mind me repeat it, is that on hills (and only on hills), user input becomes a limiting factor. If the user is less fit than the average, then he cannot coax the full power out of the motor, the maximum...

    Looking for perfect commuter..

    Hi Tommy, For commuting, a geared hub bike is better than a crank drive. For example, if you have a broken chain, you can't get home with a crank drive bike like you can with a hub bike. Hub bikes are no heavier than crank drive bikes, require less maintenance and cheaper to buy too. (cheaper...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I reckon she brought him in to explain to the hard brexiters that we could do like Norway and it's the DUP's fault that her commitment to immigration target will have to be dropped.

    johny, I'll send you a spoke key. d8veh is right, in our workshop, we always true the motor wheel after installation of the kit. Must put that in the manual.

    you may have to explain why the results are surprising. I posted that same video on page 2 and got attacked by Col W. http://pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/still-not-to-sure-what-to-make-of-bosch-ebike-system.28008/page-3#post-378539

    you will need to borrow a bleed kit from Woosh, or buy it for £10. We don't have stock for sale yet, they come in August. You can only borrow for now. The kit comprises two nipple adapters, two syringes, a small bottle of Shimano brake fluid and instructions for burping and bleeding these...

    Dual Power E-Bike Hi I am a New Member looking to by a legal e-bike

    most bikes will do ok for your weight and height. If hill climbing is very important, then you can rule out all the 1000W direct drive bikes because they are not good at hill climbing. You are better off with a Bosch CX bike or a strong geared hub motor. Let's concentrate on your 1 in 5...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it may have something to do with the result of the election. A new poll suggests that Labour would win an outright majority if a new election is called now. He must have sensed that the wind has turned, by the autumn, it may be Mr Corbyn who will greet him at Heathrow airport.

    if it's off the centre line, I can send you tomorrow a wheel washer to center the wheel to the middle line of your bike. For the pedal sensor, I have made a new support that will fit better to your bike. I will post it to you tomorrow.

    to help understanding the issues, you need to take into account some ergonomic aspect. The cranks and pedals are obviously connected to the legs. The energy needed to rotate the cranks has to be added to the energy needed to move the legs. Pedaling at higher speed costs considerably higher...

    I did not make any comment about how to get the best out of a torque system but that does not mean that I dislike or consider it inferior in any way. As a side remark, what comes out of the torque camp is often derogatory toward their opposite.
