Exactly as you say, L1e-B, unless the continuous power conforms to the L1e-A limit, the power cuts when pedalling stops and it's limited to 15.5 mph assist speed. It would be possible to arrange those, but hardly worth the effort when electric power is so much more convenient and it's low speed...

My brother, a one time very keen road cyclist, has found the same. He has a severely damaged right knee from his serious cycling days and finds getting out for moderate rides is the best solution for the onset of pain. .

Lance Armstrong routinely rode with a 110 cadence. His great rival, Jan Ullrich, was often quoted as having a very slow cadence, some saying as low as 75, but that just wasn't true. When he was clocked it turned our his cadence was near to 90, but that just looked slow when riding with Lance...

Well as long as they've been stored in a cool place they should still be ok. :D .

Tap the spindle on the other side with a mallet or hammer as if to drive the core out towards the sideplate, but be careful not to damage the spindle threads. This will usually separate the side plate from the hub shell. .

Initially on the series 2 Panasonic crank units the total reduction ratio was 13.4. Later a change of standard chainwheel made it 13.8. On these units the motor to chainwheel reduction is in two stages due to having a separate motor drive sprocket onto the chain. On the earlier Panasonic...

Everyone has their own idea about chocolate, the Belgians also claim to be the best. It's the same as e-bikes, what suits each individual most is the best. .

In a sense yes, since the Vehicle Inspectorate are still using the old Low Powered Moped type approval rules until the new L1e type approval laws are in place. They could have throttles, but since no-one made one, no method of controlling the assist speed limit had evolved for those, electric...

It's a widespread complaint Gray, one which was covered in a BBC radio program a short while ago. Apparently Kraft have insisted on the adoption of the sweet American chocolate recipe to facilitate interchange of production and refuse to listen to complaints. The Americans have never known how...

Yes, I saw that program when it was first shown. .

Agreed, and a good argument for tackling and removing the huge black and grey economies that we have. I'm not quite sure how though, since I take it you're not advocating shooting the disabled. :D Our road traffic accident rates are about the world's lowest, so not much can be gained there...

Income tax doesn't reflect the true position though, the total tax take is far higher in Sweden for example. Most people pay from 49% to 60% of salary in state and local taxes, and the total take from employers is very high too. Our population is 6.7 times Sweden's, so their disability total...

Thanks Shemozzle. I'd read though the minutes and didn't comment since it was rather depressing with respect to throttles. We just seem to be up against a brick wall. .

I agree, we are a million miles from the very equal social status that all in Sweden enjoy and show no signs of heading that way at present. However, what we've been doing for many years now isn't sustainable and will end in tears and far greater hardship than anything at present. So I support...

I tend to agree with you on the subject of substance abusers, having worked with drug addicts over a number of years. However, I predate the welfare state and have watched how it has created a dependency culture where the public expect to much of government and others and too often lack the...

Interesting how Bosch copied Panasonic with much of this assembly and their torque sensing method. Can't blame them, it was always the best. Panasonic don't make any spares available either, but have had the good sense to use standard bearings, available everywhere. .

Even less intrusive on one of mine with the Ezee torque arm bolted straight into the frame dropout plate:

True, but health and social care are so dependent on immigrants that they are net beneficiaries. Remove the immigrants and those services would be far worse. Many other occupations are also quite heavily dependent on immigrants. Realistically we can't pick and choose, saying it's ok to do...

I agree the official figures are inaccurate, but 2.2 millions isn't the net migration either. As Trex remarked, they come here for work, not for benefits, and in consequence many fail to find it and return to their home country. Every week a number of busloads depart Victoria coach station...

Happens to all of us in the end. .
