In the last video, his back wheel span out of the dropouts and he chucked the bike in anger. I'm still not sure if I feel sorry for him. He has quite a substantial following now.

I bought some of these from Ebay for £1.40 each - low frequency option:

I figured out that the average person pedals at about 60 rpm = 1 turn per second. A good pedal sensor has 12 magnets, so makes 12 pulses per rotation = 12 pulses/second or 12 Hz. I...
Thanks to my good friend Guerney, I snagged one of these bikes for £100. It doesn't look like it's been used much if at all. The place I bought it from deals in surplus electrical stuff stock - mainly laptops, soundbars and stuff like that. They had a load of non-electric bikes too pretty cheap...
I saw this on ES. It's an A2B Metro that were/are pretty good bikes, except they were locked by CANbus comms, so very difficult to repair. This one has already been modified with an external KT controller (25A), and presumably something has been done with the battery. It's not clear whether it...
I was very disappointed about the lack of progress after the consultation about raising the power limit to 500w and allowing throttles, but it's not over. A little bird flew in my window and told me that new regulations are coming very soon. The 250w power limit will be removed because it's...
Nice little video here. For me, the interesting points were the helmet with visor and lights, and the Maxima that can have a legal twist and go throttle. I think it would suit some people that have been asking on here.
The problem with these sort of videos is that they're all about riding the...
After all this time, they seem to have fixed it:

It's going to be one of the most severe storms we've had. It'll affect Scotland the most, but anybody North of Blackpool shouldn't plan to go out on their bike on Thursday afternoon through Friday. Winds could peak at 140 mph. Probably best not to go out in a car either. The rest of us will...
I somehow missed this. Was it mentioned on the forum before. It's a clever idea, but would be expensive to have it on your own bike. Is the benefit worth the expense. Is it better to keep things simple?

I friend of mine bought an old Wisper 805FE at a police auction. It wasn't charging, so I said I'll have a look at it for him.
It didn't come with keys, so the first problem was to get the battery off. After a lot of jiggling with my jiggler keys, the lock finally turned so that I could get the...
I just found this BMS on Aliexpress. It has three temperature sensors, active balancing via Bluetooth, switch, and can be configured for different cell voltages and number of series strings. It also has a UART port. I wonder what that can do...
This came up in my YouTube ads. It would probably suit a couple of guys that posted a while back about something like this:

I got an email from BMSBattery today showing their new chargers. Some of them look pretty good. They also have some interesting phone holders and a nice 5kwh power station in the power station section.
They still sell the Q100 and Q128 motors and the KT controllers with block connectors - all...
