    this arrangement may also work. You don't have to put the magnet in front of the head.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's pretty clear to me, no deal = no alimony.

    The dangers of buying on-line.

    air could be dissolved in the fluid and bubbles out over time. If enough bubbles are in the tank (we are talking about 2-3 drops of mineral fluid from a needle), then the brakes can get spongy. I usually check that the tank is still full before shipping the bike.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is no need to be so pessimistic. Brexit won't kill the cat and it's only for a short while. There are two important dates: brexit (March 2019) and a deal with the EU. From now to brexit, there will be about 3% inflation in 2017 and inflation will tail off in 2018. 2019 may see our economy...

    Radically different motor wattage but same top speed?!?

    You can, but all the kits I sell are plug and play and with detailed manual, very easy to install.

    it is possible in a few years.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you can't say it's ludicrous because although the split is practically in the middle, there is still a very substantial majority in England for brexit, and let's face it, even if the union breaks because of brexit, the majority in England will still want out.

    Radically different motor wattage but same top speed?!?

    We fit our kits to customers bikes but no more than that.

    Radically different motor wattage but same top speed?!?

    more AH. These two motors pull a lot of power. Furthermore, I do not recommend running B at 48V, too much for it.

    Radically different motor wattage but same top speed?!?

    a lot, I should think. Motor A is supended by two ball bearings, dirt cheap to replace, available on ebay, and they last easily 10 years. Motor B has an all metal gearbox that needs greased roughly every 2,000 miles. I think Woosh are the only source for spares in the UK for B.

    Radically different motor wattage but same top speed?!?

    the direct motor (A) is of simpler construction, will last longer but has a shorter range because A is less efficient than the crank drive motor (B). B gives slightly more acceleration. You will need a large battery, at least 48V 13AH to run these motors.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    actually, it was Donald Tusk who said the alternative of hard brexit is no brexit. It is not just Mr Tusk, Verhofstadt said more or less the same. Barnier may be a little more subtle but the common view from the EU side is to ask for as much money as possible. This shows that the EU wanted hard...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It seems that Michel Barnier intends on maximizing the bill rather than seeking to cover the future pension costs of UK citizens employed by the EU. What does it lead to? Hard brexit, that's for sure. The health care provision concerns mainly about 400,000 UK pensioners living mostly in Spain...

    Even more battery news

    that is true at the moment. However, batteries belong to the physical world, you just can't create and manipulate batteries with the same ease as you do with information.

    Even more battery news

    I think they picked a known weakness of current batteries (the one in the Galaxy Note 7). The number of Lithium batteries that caught fire is pretty low considering how many are left in the sun.

    Even more battery news

    that may explain the use of big words. Safe? glass can't bend Low cost? not. The other two are OK but by the time they scale up the capacity of these solid state batteries, the goal post would have moved forward. It's a bit like nuclear fusion, it's always 'it'll be here in 30 years'.
