One that attracted much amusement and cynicism was the seatpost mounted in-frame "phallic" battery mounting that Wisper introduced for their Daahub kit. Here it is mounted on one of former member EddieO's bikes:

Sorry, I didn't want the OP to think he was being ignored, he'd already waited four minutes for a reply! :D .

But I think those promoting that trend could be mistaken. Advertisers are very sensitive to certain matters, so not everyone rejected from the BBC is what they want. I think ITV companies would think long and hard before taking on Clarkson, given how easily his comments can offend some, and...

Try contacting SportsHQ who were from the outset the main suppliers of the Cyclamatic e-bikes and did supply some spares. Here's the link .

It seems then that the payment went to the company that went into administration almost exactly two years ago, so a PayPal claim is the best course now. .

I agree, it was ill judged, though perhaps there was an element of loyalty to a long term colleague since I think May is essentially a very decent person. .

The BBC have just announced at 4pm today 25/3/15 that Jeremy Clarkson's contract will not be renewed so he will not appear on new Top Gear programs. It seems from the statement that Clarkson really did go much too far to be forgiven. The police are asking the BBC for their report from the...

I agree about the companies status Jonathan, my use of "effectively" being only a reference to what they were marketing rather than any financial implications. Seeing that urbanmover.com has also gone into administration gives me the same fears as you, but since Urban Mover Eco Ltd have...

But it seems replaced by Urban Mover.com in 2009, this 2009 webpage refers. Clearly both are effectively the same company since the bike range is the same UM10, UM20 and UM30 as before, only using the brand name Elite instead of Urban Mover. Snce it was Keith Chamberlain he paid, it was to the...

I've done some further digging and it appears Urban Mover now have no connection with Hero Eco, only the Ultra Motor brand A2B remains with them. I've no idea when there was separation but clearly the A2B and F4W contacts are not worth pursuing now. I did have a new Urban Mover service and...

- can it be run without sensors connected? Yes with a sensorless controller. - what are the 3 thick wire? They are the current supplies to the coils. - IF this is a 3phase 36V DC motor, is this motor BLDC It is a BLDC motor. - can you show me W/Nm graph? I don't have a graph link...

I know nothing about Keith I'm afraid. The information you've given leads me to think that Hero Eco may have separated off UM. However, the inclusion of eco in the company name Urban Mover Eco Ltd that you've given may indicate they are still connected in some way. As you say, no harm in...

Link to Tucano Urano e-bikes. Neat looking bike, nicely integrated battery. .

UM (Ultra Motor aka Urban Mover) were bought by the large Indian corporation Hero Eco who are investing heavily in bicycles in various countries. Mark Loveridge who also traded with the A2B brand was their UK managing director and they were a leading light in BEBA (British Electric Bike...

Definitely Dave, there have always been these blindingly obvious solutions. Ideally though, tax the business done in each country, not where the figures are declared, since that could never be complained of as unfair. How to assess that with companies such as Starbucks? Again blindingly...

I agree Phill and I'm glad it worked out well for you. What makes me unhappy is that the new scheme appears to have no more protection than previously against the situations that rob people of their pensions. Robert Maxwell stealing the Daily Mirror pension fund was the worst example but by no...

Thanks John, perfectly true, I was forgetting about the necessity of moving the speed sensor on these. There's some illustrated information on doing this on my Panasonic support website which could be adapted to the Impulse unit bikes, this link refers.

I agree and do the same, but it does risk getting the occasional abuse. On one such occasion a construction truck was arriving rapidly behind me and having to be slowed. The driver hung out of the side of his cab and screamed a stream of hysterical abuse at me, illustrating how right the...

The similar Pro Connect with the almost equally restricted-speed Panasonic unit had a 21 tooth rear sprocket. Changing it to a 16 tooth increased the assist speed to just over 20 mph. Since the Tasman with the Impulse unit has a slightly less restricted top speed, you should get 22 to 23 mph...

Nothing to this one at £342 (though delivery is free!) .
