    Ezeetorq2 cutting out.

    As you already know, the controller LED 5 flash indication is that it's a throttle problem. They are plug-in, so if both are the same 3 or 5 connection ones, you could swap in your other one to see if that solves the problem. I don't know of any check that can be carried out on eZee's...

    BBC stirs trouble for cyclists

    On Tuesday 26th May at 12.15pm, the BBC Radio 4 "You and Yours" program is a phone in one. They are asking people who have ever felt threatened by cyclists to phone in their stories. To stir things up this blurb appears on the website: "A child is recovering after being hit by a cyclist...

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    But it shouldn't be necessary, a fitted mudguard should do the job, which that one clearly can't. Nor can any of the current MH ones, all cutting off far too high at the rear. I'm far from alone in this complaint, a number of members have raised it, most recently in a thread on the Bosch units...

    Help!..Ave MH7 v Kalkhoff Sahel Compact v blueLABEL PONY?

    Near to useless front mudguards are common enough on bikes, but that on this AVE MH model must be one of the worst ever. Cleverly designed to spray muck all over the riders feet, the motor unit and lower frame, it achieves virtually nothing:

    Battery capacity / bike performance

    A larger capacity when under load gives a very slight power gain due to lower resistance in issuing the current, but not crucial enough in this case to solve the problem. The real problem here is twofold, firstly an average power hub motor, not ideal for very steep hills and the limitation of...

    Ezeetorq2 cutting out.

    And are you getting any flashing on the controller's LED when the cutout happens? If so, how many flashes? .

    Currency Market Fix fines banks £3.6billion

    It doesn't actually exist, no money or gold is transferred. Instead a number is established as the amount one lends to another so that the other can use that book figure to buy from others. At the same time as borrowing, countries also lend money, the one taken from the other being the net...

    Currency Market Fix fines banks £3.6billion

    It's negligible, For every £1 invested in the two Scottish banks, there is over £30,000 in National Debt. That whole amount invested in those two banks was just over one year's interest on the national debt. But that bank money was investment, only lost if those two banks went broke with...

    Currency Market Fix fines banks £3.6billion

    There is no connection between the two though, as both Trex and I have pointed out. The LIBOR rate is a creation to give a basis for global currency speculation, that in turn needed to fix each country's currency value. Nobody likes it, but it's a necessary evil to enable global trade. As I...

    News :- Norwegian e-bike use study: more trips, average distance doubles

    I agree with that conclusion and the data from elsewhere supports it. Australia has compulsory helmet use and the world's lowest cycling rate. The Netherlands has hardly any helmet wearing and the world's highest cycling rate. .

    Currency Market Fix fines banks £3.6billion

    The money the bankers make from LIBOR fixing, illicitly or otherwise, is from global financial trading, so should be seen in that context of the 7 billions world population. It's a few pence each and far less than the amounts we all manage to regularly lose ourselves with less than wise...

    Nearly lost my new sunglasses

    No, I wouldn't expect you to stop Steve, but the moment that driver pulled that first bit out, there was an increased probability that he might complete that manouvre. At the first movement I would have slowed and been ready on the brakes. No-one is saying you were in the wrong since it was...

    Nearly lost my new sunglasses

    I agree with others that just asserting your rights is not the best course Steve. There's a similar situation at sea with the International Collision Regulations where the lesser vessel often has the right of way but would be very foolish to try and assert that. There's a jingle about Jolly...

    Best Ebike mileage.....on ONE battery charge

    I've never broken any records on one battery, usually using two or three batteries for very long runs. One member with three Kalkhoff Agattus* in his family had a circular ride with a friend on two Agattus, starting from a little north of Warlingham and taking in Eastbourne. They covered 63...

    Two wheel invalid carriages again

    Good to learn that mine was the winning reply, thanks for reading it out. Pity you didn't know at the time that I've been a lifelong unpowered cyclist and only took up an e-bike at 67 years old to help with pulling a heavy goods trailer in my very hilly area. As for the killing cycling remark...

    BMW Cruise e Bike - any good?

    In the m/c division mainly pre-war though, the innovation was largely replaced by copying and borrowing post WW2, starting with the Italian Isetta bubble car which they built under licence. Their paralever rear suspension was the same as that patented in two forms by both MV Agusta and Moto...
