    it's about £50 more than your 48V 12AH battery with Samsung 29E cells. It is just a theoretical solution if I were to supply the battery with a 1000W kit. NealH has his battery done with Samsung 30Q - he may give his view here later. You can find out a lot more about the difference between 29E...

    Chipstix only needs to have a better battery, something like 12S5P with Samsung 30Q will do it.

    I think there is but let's wait until the EU shows how the bill is arrived at.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As I was watching BBC News 24 reporting on the EU brexit conference and the press conference with Donald Tusk, I am genuinely confused by the EU's position. I understand why they plan it this way, but I am confused by what they think they will achieve by cornering the UK. Donald Tusk takes it...

    I read the T&Cs, the 6 miles is for when you use it in pedal assist mode. You battery is supposed to be good for about 45 miles on legal pedal assist. 6 miles range means that your battery would have lost 85% of its original capacity before you can claim for the battery.

    I think the controller is KT- 48V 30A for his 1000W kits. LVC is 42V. I usually keep the controller at below 1.5C. For example the Big Bear has 15AH battery, 1.5C = 22.5A. The Big Bear controller is 20A. Chipstix' battery is 12AH. 1.5C is 18A. He can pull much more than that with his controller.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the EU do deals with Norway for example. All the trade stuff is negotiable. I am thinking more of the EU as an insurer. You pay in a premium for your security. For example, even without an army, the EU can nearly be relied on for conflict resolution within members thus avoiding war within and...

    My comment on the warranty is meant to be in general, it is of course a matter between you and your supplier. The point I tried to make is that you will get less than half the range if you ride at 22mph instead of 15mph, that is generally true for all Chinese motors with pedal assist sensor.

    I agree with d8veh. Battery consumption is directly proportional to the cube of the speed. When you ride at 22mph, you use about 22WH per mile whereas at 15mph, you only use about 10WH per mile. Manufacturers can void the warranty if you derestrict their bikes.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A phrase, often used in EU's communiques, is this one: I honestly can't work out those rights and benefits that are exclusive to members and that the EU will not negotiate with other blocks such as EFTA countries, Turkey, Canada etc. Can someone list them for me?

    TDCM Torque Sensor Motor

    if you measure the torque from the cassette of inside the motor, your result changes with the selected gear. measuring torque at the bottom bracket is my preferred arrangement.

    Lithium ion batteries do not need conditioning. Your observation is correct. You bike pulls a lot of Amps from the battery, causing its voltage to sag. Nothing you can do that you haven't done already. You have to keep an eye on the miles after the last charge.

    Hopefully going to buy a wisper 905 torque

    There is no need to pay more for a Bosch CX. Tredz are doing 15% off this weekend. A £2000 Bosch bike with discount is well within the OP's budget. Something like this Cube Cross Hybrid 500 with Deore gearset: http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Cube-Cross-Hybrid-Pro-Allroad-500-2017-Electric-Bike_97468.htm

    TDCM Torque Sensor Motor

    to have the torque sensor inside the rear hub is not the best arrangement. I have learned this lesson the hard way in my Woosh Sport TS. D8veh tested it a few years back and pointed out that when you climb a hill, the torque sensor hits the max pretty quickly.
