If the battery is in fairly regular use, storage at around room temperature is correct. However, for long term storage of several months or more, close to zero degrees C (but never below) is technically best for minimising capacity loss. The difference is quite small though, so not really...

I very much doubt the magnets are for the pedelec operation Noel, since the Panasonic units usually have that carried out internally. Although the Revive unit had differences, you might find the descriptions in my Panasonic support site of interest to understand how they work. This webpage...

There may be a daylight MOT available Tillson, but I was replying to Eddie's assumption that any mirrors or lights to the owners choice could be used. That isn't so, hence my correction post. Certainly for the only moped MOT mentioned in the guidance handbook, the full one, those components...

I don't know of a three magnet system on the Revive Spirit Noel. In our European market where power assist is limited to 15 mph these use a magnet speed sensor on the back wheel to limit to that speed. The magnet can be swung to one side to allow the bike's natural maximum of 18 mph. I...

Hi Noel, welcome to the forum and feel free to start asking your questions to see if we can help. I liked the Revive design in many ways but it wasn't popular and didn't last, I suppose too adventurous for most. There isn't much widespread knowledge about them but I'm familiar with just the...

Actually worse rather than the same, since the dongled e-bike isn't even registered as a motor vehicle! .

In fact, despite public ignorance on this subject, you were not even liable for prosecution at the time. Here is the position regarding that occasion of you avoiding a particularly dangerous traffic situation: On 1st August 1999, new legislation came into force to allow a fixed penalty...

Not so I'm afraid Eddie. The required specifications for these items are laid down. For example the head light doesn't have to have a dipped beam but has strict light position, pattern etc requirements. The simplest solution is to adapt a dedicated moped headlight and position it according to...

Unfortunately the deaths haven't stopped but are not getting as widespread publicity, possibly due to this being considered a stale news story. I had to try two different Google entries to find the link for you to the latest rather than last years links repeated, so even Google seems to be...

I remember this well and the Metropolitan Police officially stated reason was that it was in response to the sudden spate of deaths. At the time Conservative Mayor Boris Johnson also spoke about the decision and he has a role in the management of the Metropolitan Police. That would have been...

Here's a calculator page that will tell you how many links you need. Panasonic chainwheels for that calculator entry are usually either a 37 or a 41 tooth. .

All the 26 volt chargers and batteries for the Panasonic unit match ok. Only three of the five connections are actually used in charging. Here's a photo of the charger base which only has 4 pins, but it accepts the five pin position batteries: And here's the battery base showing what the...

Tangent gave the ebay link above Berian, here it is again: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201268233162 There's still 4 days left and it stands at 99p. I'd advise you message Tangent in here first to buy it now. Here is the link to message him. .

The whatever reason now is, I'm sure, the fact that all our police forces have been instructed not to prosecute for having a 250 watt rating when the law says 200 watts. Faced with that obscure instruction, what police officer is going to bother about the complex issue of e-bike power? None...

Tangent has one he was selling on Monday, here's the link Scroll down in that thread and he gives the ebay URL .

In short, yes. The Kipor IG770 tank gives 3 hours run time so almost a full charge. The last stages of charge have the lowest gain so 3 hours will probably give you about 95% charge. .

Chinese can be ok. On this link d8veh mentioned the Kipor brand and weights of around 9 to 10 kilos. Here's the link to: Kipor Generators The IG770 looks ideal at about 10 kilos. .

Small Generator: Similar weight and cost, full charges every day and no range or consumption limits for those Bosch performance line motors. Solar you say "most days", so what happens on all the other days, carry a generator as well? Sorry Dave, but I can't see solar as viable for a whole...

Should be no problem if you are using AC 110-220 volts AC from the generator into the bike's chargers. The charger and the battery BMS will provided enough protection for any slight irregularities to be of no consequence. .

The OP asked the solar question before on this link and we gave it a big thumbs down. The bikes in question have the Bosch Performance Line motors which are rather greedy as our member EddiePJ has just remarked about his, making solar even less likely to be a viable option. .
