Still not clear though, differentially geared on the earlier ones but can't see anything about that on the current one. The website spec shows 180-360 watts and the comparison with other 350 watt ones shows it as 360 watts to show it's equality/superiority. So it still appears that it's at...

I can't see any mention of this and their other products comparative specification says 360 watts, so probably illegal in the EU pedelec class, though ok as an S pedelec. .

Haven't got a smartphone and have already made sure I don't get a funeral. :) .

Loughborough University! What a surprise, right on 50cycles doorstep, the agents for German Kalkhoff pedelecs. They do specialise in this area though, Link ,

Looks great!. I've trimmed and reoriented your second photo, shown below:

You should put it on charge every two months, or even every month. It's BMS uses a small amount of current while idle and could flatten the cells to failure level if left all winter. .

Good to hear Frank responded. I assume that what you're going to try is ok after his advice but don't personally know that. I'd guess red to yellow of the controller at first. When you try it don't twist the throttle wide open straight away, just try a touch of throttle see if the motor...

Possibly, though since about 2005 they've always been around in large numbers in the UK, just not talked about so much so not apparent. In mid 2006 when many of us were riding illegally fast e-bikes, this forum didn't exist. Illegal e-bikes are largely only a UK thing for various reasons, in...

Very much agree Neil. I've never been a pop music fan, more a classical music one, but David Bowie had unmistakeable greatness in the music and entertainment sphere. His ability dwarfed that of many much more praised names. .

I very much doubt anything will change. Most of the current pedelec law in the UK has been in force since 1983 and 1988, and the EU law has been in force since 1999. With such long established law and nearly all of Europe happy with it at present, there's no likelyhood of change. .

I agree, but the traceability is an important factor, impossible with pedelecs and their riders. I've often thought it might be better if pedelecs were registered with a mini number plate. VED (road tax) is free on electric vehicles anyway. Then with traceability only the assist speed limit...

But they are legal as machines, there are no laws restricting motorcycle power or maximum powered speed. The control of those is by registration and driving licences Pedelecs are completely different, restricted in their power and maximum motor drive speed, since they are not registered and...

It's a small bird of prey classified as a falcon and loosely related to the peregrine falcon. See this link .

Yes, it should be fine, it's the same design as the ebay one you linked to. It should accept your post mount caliper and bolt onto your IS frame without any problems. .

That looks perfectly ok to me, there's another one for you that would be ok on this link, looking exactly the same. In both cases, adaptors for post mount brake caliper to IS mount frame. .

I'm hoping he's still with them, he hasn't posted for quite a while. If he is still there he's very knowledgeable about the electrics on these bikes. .

That's the price for the crank motor unit with the handlebar head unit and the shift changer, so possibly not so out of kilter. Long ago the Panasonic unit only was £500 and that may have increased since then. The handlebar unit and harness was I think £125. Add those two, plus the price of...

I don't know which Powabyke motor series you have or the wiring on that one, Try mailing them using this contact link. Include at the start of your message "Dear Frank Curran" and Frank may get to see it. He is a forum member here and has been very helpful in the past. Ask them to look at...
