To survive in business as long as he has, despite failures, he's either clever or has native cunning. It's likely he has no spots, just assuming each guise according to circumstances. Two or more faces is just what every politician needs. .

And he's yellow on top too. .

I don't know anyone who's tried one of these, but it looks extremely wide on the left hand side. That makes me wonder about crank arm clearance. Panasonic and Biketec did a wide battery version that wasn't as wide as this for Biketec's off-road X model, but that had widened crank arms. .

A trailer is better for control and safety, the drive and braking is lopsided for sidecars. Doesn't seem to worry these lads though. :)

While I agree about the rest of your post, I'd leave the Arab Spring out of the list. That was just a fabrication by the West based on no real evidence, to try to get democracy into the Middle East by the back door. And just like everywhere else that we poke our noses into, it's ended in total...

Will this replace the American Eagle on the roof of the US Embassy?

But it's the Russians who show the way to political stability, a president and a prime minister who just swap jobs every so often. And rather weirdly, the Russian public seem to like it that way. .

He's in for a shock and will hate his new life. Far from being the "big I am" that he's always been, he's going to find himself a slave to numerous inescapable masters, human and inanimate. .

Yes, definitely do the reconditioning cycles first to ensure the meter is accurate. Once done, ideally with a new battery you would get 29.4 volts fully charged, 22 volts at cutoff. A cell that was failing would behave as you've described, prompting premature cutoff. ,

Works for the USA, Canada, Australia etc. They are able to incorporate numerous individual state freedoms and I've no doubt Europe could do the same once union is achieved. .

If there's room for them it would be ok. Some of their unit batteries have been rather awkwardly shaped for conventional cells to fit, one for Jimmy to experiment with perhaps. Of course Kalkhoff replaced this battery with their own boxy BMZ version which does use 18650s, so the OP can buy one...

See post above Alan, these batteries are radically different. .

Yours is the early Panasonic unit and battery which introduces difficulties since it doesn't use the regular cylindrical cells. Instead it has soft pouch cells. The page on my Panasonic help site linked to below gives all the details you need about which is the output connection to measure...

It needs some of Shimano's roller brake grease inserted. It comes in 2 sizes with part numbers as shown below, but you only need the small one, dealers will use the larger: 10 gms Y-041 40020 100 gms Y-041 20400 A good cycle dealer should be able to get some for you. The diagram below...

A lot of members make this mistake, typing their reply within the . You can just edit by transferring the symbol to where it should be to correct the post. .

And very close to everything in our future! .

At last a government policy to tackle the obesity epidemic. ;) .

The Charging Post "A place to recharge your batteries, meet new friends and talk about things not specifically related to electric bikes." Note there's no restriction on the subjects that can be discussed in The Charging Post except that it's not intended for e-bike subjects. .

I don't see how it could, since it only comes into play when back pedalling. I come from the days long ago when hub gears were dominant and derailleurs a rumour, and in my experience all hub gears have some dislike of changing under load. When the load is motor as well as cyclist and the gear...

Yes, double-declutched for many years in both cars and trucks. Similar to Anotherkiwi I also had a much more recent spell of clutchless driving. Two weeks before a new car was about to arrive the hydraulic clutch on the old Fiat failed with a big leak, so I did all my trips clutchless for that...
