you continue to make assumptions - did you check your own statistics to see how many readers agree with them? No, don't count the ticks, count the number of people who gave you their approval. If you stick to facts, eg graphs, newspapers quotes, politicians speeches, pictures of events, this...

good pics, Billy. You should check the length of the main trunk cable before removing the kit.

I did not say anything of the sort you said I said. People voted for their own reasons, I don't dwell on them. I invite readers to think about the reasons for brexit and perhaps, persuade some to give brexit a chance.

No, I did not. I asked you to start another thread where you can talk about what you want to talk about. Let me remind you what this thread is about: 'brexit-for-once-some-facts' You build your arguments on your own assumptions, expect readers to agree with them and if they don't, you call...

You know what, freedoms have a price. Nothing new. Take the BBC, how many times their journalists, reporters and editors make me cringe and that's one of the best in the world. The French news agency AFP is probably journalistically most credible source of news. I am partial on this because I...

Billy, can you turn the bike upside down and take a picture where the sensor cable comes out of the bottom bracket?

these are practical measures. The wealth of this country is built mostly if not totally by immigrants and exploitation of colonies. It follows that future prosperity continues on the basis of immigration. I can't see any sensible government is going to stop immigration. Brexit puts the...

do you want to dictate to people which newspapers they must read?

If you were a brexiter, you would want such statement be proven by real fact.

Roads are rarely totally flat, adding to that, you have stops and starts. The end result is that you can approximate urban riding to a road with 1%-2% gradient to account for these additional energy losses. Wind resistance accounts for a large part of energy requirement, tyre friction adds maybe...

We will stop being taken to the ECJ by businesses. Even so, I reckon the ECJ may still retain its superiority in arbitrations regarding a future FTA. When Mrs May made the ECJ a redline, I originally thought the hard brexiters had won it but afterward, came to the same conclusion, we have to...

that's correct, oldtom. I don't care for the right wing media, they have never affected me, I can't see why I should pay any attention to them. I accept freedom of speech like everyone else, even if they talk rubbish.

let's fast forward to March 2023. The UK has finally stopped paying into the EU budget and no longer subjected to decision taken at the ECJ. Whether the government at the time is a good one, I have no way of knowing until nearer to the time (May 2020) and about the quality of the next...

Something not about brexit for the weekend:

I bet they don't run the bikes to empty. Their experience confirms that weight matters, the heavier you are, the bigger battery you need.

You need to do a finite element analysis to refine the estimates, but yes, for our purpose, it is linear. For our purpose, it is. In practice, the tool lets you input the battery and controller internal resistance to get a more accurate result.

the 6.6WH is given on Bosch Active line, 100kg bike + rider weight in tour mode. I give 11WH as estimate for the OP. Their simulator is pretty good: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/service/range-cockpit/ Huge rise in power consumption if you use sport/turbo mode.

Son of Lenin?

if you use the tool at ebikes.ca, you can get an idea of the effect of weight on battery consumption. Set the gradient to 2% to represent roughly urban conditions. That figure needs only to be something more than zero. The load plot shows 295W at 15mph. If you change the weight (rider + bike)...

Yes, there is no other way of estimating without meeting the person. If she comes to my shop - I can make a better guess. You can always assume a worst case secenario, 40 mph windspeed straight into your face but that does not really matter, you won't want to ride more than a few miles under...
