You can't Steve, I devised those for myself since e-bikes with greater forward weight can easily balance out the trailer nose weight. I wanted that greater tracking accuracy for pedestrian safety reasons when using shared path facilities. The one on the Lafree is explained on this link, but it...

Thanks for the explanation James, no need to change any wording, it is a good point that another law may be infringed. My position is that it is legal for anyone to sell an e-bike of any specification for use on genuinely private land. If the the view of Trading Standards is the opposite on...

But once again, not relevant to what I've posted. That has only been about compliance with EAPC law. I've made no comment on the obvious intrinsic safety aspects of that law, it's a different subject to compliance. .

In what way James? I've not addressed the safety issue that Trading Standards are concerned with, only the legal aspects with regards to breaches of EAPC law. These are views on two different issues. .

Read right through that Australian article and many of the disadvantages become very apparent though. They are very much a second best solution, probably best suited to a utility rider on a good suspension bike, the former not pushing cornering limits and the latter making up for the poor bump...

Here's the link to the supplier of these "solid" tyres. They haven't changed over the years though, still being microcellular polyurethane. The first disadvantage is that they have the same structural stability in lateral and vertical planes. A good tyre has high lateral stability for...

I haven't damaged either a Panasonic crank motor or a hub motor by towing the large and heavy loads shown here, so I doubt your tow-along will be a serious problem. We have members who are well over the combined weight of the two of you and your trailer, and they have no special issue with...

Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres are the most effective puncture prevention, but even they can suffer punctures from the longer thorns such as blackthorn cuttings. However, they greatly reduce puncture incidence, in my case only one in many years now in those tyres, but many in my trailer tyres...

There are always limits in the USA. If a state doesn't pass an individual e-bike law, the federal law prevails, which is a 20 mph assist speed limit and maximum 700 watts of power. .

Maddening, but at least you have the added security now, despite all the obstructions put in your way. .

Good to hear that Kudos have given such good service,even beyond the warranty period. It's a big factor for others to judge by when choosing a new e-bike. .

The better ones have interchangeable catalyst tips, so a failed one can be replaced. Some are on this Maplin page and a spare tip kit is shown lower down. .

German bicycle company Electrolyte claim to have teamed up with one of the world's leading suppliers of fuel cells to produce a hydrogen powered e-bike based on their Vorradier range. Three hundred kilometres range is claimed. This is reported in the new issue 9 of Electric Bike magazine, but...

It's always easy to forecast for 25 years ahead as they do with ZEVs. I think there will still be vehicle dominance by Hybrids and even pure i.c in 2040, especially for goods transport where electric alternatives haven't even commenced. I won't be around though! .

And €182.4 worth of know how! ;) .

I can't blame te government, they are taking the least line of resistance. In Britain well over 90% of the public naturally want cars, and on the sales evidence, no more than 3% naturally want bicycles. In London car drivers are stung £10 a day congestion charge, plus swingeing parking...

Several years ago, I think about 2007, a young Austrian created and demonstrated a recumbent trike he'd built using hydrogen to power a fuel cell. With it's tank alongside the rear wheel it was good for 90 kilometres. And way back in 2001 Aprilia displayed and demonstrated a hydrogen fuel cell...

In the morning perhaps? Korner Thread Morning :D

That was WS1 bigclick, it landed that there for me as well. Have you one additional number on the first part of your postcode, WS12 for example? Is so, that would get you closer. Any part code we enter goes to the centre of that code area. .

Yes, I understand they can accept 36 volts and that would increase the speed by 50%, so similar to your Powabyke's top speed. That one could be suitable for your wife. Your Powabyke has either been derestricted (most likely) or the previous owner has changed the motor to a higher revs one...
