Internally geared hub motor life is in miles rather than years, but it's very variable, some give way at a few thousand miles while others of the same brand can run for tens of thousands. Variables like motor internal alignment, greasing and how used, plus climate, dust pollution, dampness...

You mention this several times but it's not true Flud. The UK moped speed limit is 28 mph, equivalent to the EU moped speed limit of 45 kph. This is also the speed limit of the S class high speed e-bikes that are permitted in some EU legislatures and Switzerland. The classification of...

I made the decision early in life to only insure minimally. Since then have only covered the structure of my property and basic car insurance, otherwise being my own insurer. Now sixty years later as someone not at all accident prone, I've profited hugely from that policy, which has cost me...

Except for perhaps Paul Lister's Alladale reserve? No wolves yet, but wild boar there now and wolves, lynx and bears hopefully later. Not sure if fenced yet, but the animals bring risk. .

Lords of Sith = Those representing evil, the evil in this case being using illegally fast e-bikes. :eek: .

The gears are replaceable if it's one of the popular motors. N.B. Crossed with Emo Rider's post.

If it won't spin forward with the system switched off, it's likely to be the nylon internal gears chewed up and jamming. .

In terms of the final power out to the road, having that epicyclic doesn't affect the Bosch to any material degree of course, so neither system has an intrinsic efficiency gain on the other in consequence. I just object on principle to having my input reduced to benefit the motor output. With...

I see them like that too. My objection to the Bosch small chainwheel is twofold. Firstly higher wear rate, and secondly that it's irrational. They've gained greater efficiency for the motor since there's less reduction gearing, but that's been gained at the cost of the rider effort going...

Good, on the chainwheel basis I like the Yamaha too. .

Thanks Shemozzle. Astonishing range of motors on their market now, many rarely or never seen here in the UK. .

We've always had one leg in, one leg out! We aren't in the eurozone though, so can't get the benefits of that as another kiwi has observed with the insurance example. .

I agree, but wonder if there's room for nuts on the other side, used with longer bolts in the event of a thread giving way? .

Like me, i've got some old accounts like that, Photobox, Flickr etc, but for a very long time now I've been using my own tame website, flecc.uk

You're making it sound like you need to be towing that trailer with a mobility vehicle! :D .

Yes that's the answer, then use method two above to display them. .
