It has always been a problem with folding bikes that the wheels cannot be folded. Here is an interesting proposal to get over this difficulty. duncfitz- Crossbreed folding wheel The tyres remain inflated when the wheel is folded. Lets hope that this leads the design of folding bikes...

I wanted to measure the current consumption on my bikes, but didn't want to disturb the wiring between the battery and the motor. I thought I might do it by removing the fuse and replacing it with an adpater that would bring two wires out for the current measurent. I took the fuseholder cap from...

The old 50cycles web page on the Ezee Chopper said that they were for people 5ft 6in or less. 50cycles Advanced Electric Bikes - eZee Chopper electric bicycle specification and reviews I'm 6ft 1 in and feel fairly comfortable on the Chopper, although it has to be accepted that the geometry...

Does anyone have performance data for front hub motor fitted to the Sprint 7, or could you tell me where to find the data? I'm interested in peak power, at what speed it occurs, peak current etc. Ideally I would like to compare all this with the Quando. I've bought a Sprint so that I can put...
