Glueing the tyre to the inner tube sounds like a very daft idea to me. .

The first one certainly set back my fitness Phill. I bought it to help with heavy trailer towing, but within a year I'd lost much of my previous cycling fitness. Hills that I used to enjoy storming over had become a really hard slog and it wasn't long after that when i gave up the unpowered...

Ditto, with a smile too. Good manners are always relevant. .

Far from trying to shoot you down Paddy, I helpfully linked to one of the very few suppliers of bikes that do meet what you want. And as someone pointed out, the EU laws do apply to you. If the rider can switch to a higher performance/power than that allowed, the bike is illegal at any time...

Solution for Denwyn, get a job in a multi-brand e-bike dealership. ;) .

Answers in Paddy's other post on this link .

Paddy, although we loosely refer to them as e-bikes, they are in fact Electric Assist Pedal Cycles, the law governing them being the EAPC regulations. So the combination of things you're looking for isn't practical from a legal e-bike. It is possible if you put one together yourself and are...

You're in on page 2 Phil, riding on Eastbourne Road, A259: Map link .

Easy, even with 37 volt 34 Ah total (2 x 10Ah, 1 x 14 Ah). Battery in use at rear of seat tube (eZee bike), and a battery in each large deep pannier, so low down on each side. Stable, on or off the bike, very long range, yet looking perfectly normal. .

There is an awareness sense we don't understand as yet, sometimes called sixth sense. Try staring hard at the back of someone and it can be surprising how often they turn round as if they've consciously picked up on the stare. The younger and less mature the person, the more likely the...

Best of luck with that, what makes you think logic will play a part in succeeding! ;) .

And Powacycle, backed by the substantial Akhter Computer company. .

The controller and it's space on the Salisbury is rather small, so any other you bought would probably have to be mounted elsewhere. The only other thing I now about that controller is that it's a fairly simple one that doesn't latch off with low voltage, just switching in and out with load...

These crank drive units have of necessity a freewheel on the chainwheel, allowing the crank arms and pedalling to be independent of the motor driven chainwheel. That means some lateral slack (wobble), it's true of all of them right back to the earliest Panasonic crank unit. .

I'm not familiar with that Yamaha chainwheel drive crank unit and Gepida only list Bosch new generation crank units on the current Alboin models. The problem is most likely a bicycle one rather than related to the power unit, but check the lateral stability of the chainwheel, it shouldn't have...

Which model is it? Many of the new Gepida models have front hub motors and they've also used two different crank units. We need to know which you have. .

True also when not in any way associated with bicycles. I walk quite fast and when in fairly busy areas find the erratic behaviour of other pedestrians very confusing, the unpredictable veering exactly as you describe when I'm trying to pass. .

Probably bitter experience John, selling that type of build can attract a lot of time wasters. .

I know the earlier Tipo was as bad as many of the other FIAT models John. Mine though was a late one, the three door sport hatch that didn't have the peculiar rear window styling. That one was boasted of as having a complete rethink on reliability and rust proofing, and it did live up to that...

True, they are almost always a problem. I get the impression that if it's not the road, pedestrians regard everywhere as theirs. It doesn't help that many of these "segregated" paths have been created by taking from what was pavement. .
