Yes, here's a link which explains that a bikes left recharging overnight was said to be responsible for a fire. I think they used Heinzmann motors like the German post e-bikes, but not sure which batteries they had: Belgian Post e-Bike Fires .

But still only the extent. The fact that the plant continuously poured out radioactivity for at least five days and probably much longer is still not published. Nor is the truth about who found out, nor the truth about the government actions to deal with all the polluted livestock. Similar...

That's the excuse one will find online and elsewhere John, but that is only a symptom, not the problem, which was corporate pride. How the chief designer and directors escaped prosecution for corpporate manslaughter I will never know. The problem arose because for pride reasons they wanted to...

And of the remaining almost half, the fires in a very large number of cases were caused by washing machines and tumble dryers, the latter being very high risk items since misuse can cause the danger. .

In my experience nothing happens when a pack is dropped and broken. Have a look at my website on the link below to see two cruelly mistreated batteries which went on the fulfil their normal lives after the cases were taped up to mend the breaks: Battery Case Repairs As for the latter quoted...

Agreed with both of the above, the only risk worth considering with today's battery packs is during charging, and even then an accidental event is safely contained. To be absolutely safe, only charge when in and awake. I've always kept my lithium packs indoors, up to three of them with over...

As ever, there's more to this than meets the eye. If people are out of touch and unable to contact, there will be less meetings arranged and therefore a corresponding drop in traffic on the roads. This is particularly true of a country where many of it's citizens hardly ever work and spend so...

Rob, I just checked to answer for Ash, it's a Woosh Sirocco CD, so it doesn't need a longer chain. Ash, If you want a top quality one, the KMC Silver 8 speed I linked to at Wiggle will be ideal. Otherwise any 7/8 speed derailleur chain from your local bike shop. You'll need a chain tool to...

Thank you, and my best wishes to you and yours for a Happy Christmas and a successful and prosperous New Year. .

KMC do stronger higher quality chains for derailleurs, the first link below is to that page on which they are listed, best at the top: KMC 8 speed chains Wiggle have the top silver one on this link You need to check if they will be long enough though. and they have 8 speed chain links on...

Hi Paul, a long time ago that we were in touch! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Tony

. Here the differences: .

Our one member who had one of these e-mopeds, Synthman, says he could pedal his at low speed but of course rarely needs to. However, the fact that he can pedal one at all means it satisfies the law in that respect. Regarding e-tandem weights, these e-peds do not qualify since the 1983 EAPC...

They are nothing like that power, the 40 A quoted before is in fact 40 Ah, the battery capacity, not the controller rating. In Chinas these e-mopeds are typically around 700 watts rating, still illegal here in the UK of course. .

Yes it is in respect of the quoted subject. Brake cutouts are not necessary or required under EU law, and most e-bikes made in the EU and for the EU don't have them, the pedelec control is considered adequate. Nor do those pedelecs have them in the UK market and the DfT permits them here and...

It's almost certainly the usual problem as you've assumed, but you can check tlhe switch in which connection my Panasonic support site may help, using the "Control Switch" item under the old unit heading. I don't know of anyone other than A to B trying the changed controller method. They said...

For any other information you may find my support site for Panasonic crank units useful, the old type unit refers: Panasonic units .

Yes, the geared motor versions will climb better, albeit at very low speed on the steepest climbs. As for prices, it's all about volumes. The world market for all forms of moped is very large and includes China and India. For bicycle style e-bikes it's quite small, it doesn't include China...

That Googled information is wrong, the whole Panasonic unit in the Lafree Twist runs on 24 volts, there is no half voltage takeoff within the battery. It has only the positive and negative 24 volt connections on the battery pack, the third connection is for the NTC thermistor included in the...

Brilliant idea John, a very attractive marketing advantage. .
