Any recommendations? Mine is starting to fall apart and isn't very comfortable. I do mostly gentle off-road riding, towpaths and gravel tracks with some roadwork inbetween, I don't like the look of those padded razor blade types I just want a reasonably priced well padded one that won't leave...

Well done for wanting to build an interesting project for your son, all I got was old pram wheels and a plank. I can understand your son wanting to drive a 'tractor' not a mobility scooter but maybe you could use the tractor body to disguise a cheap scooter. I'm sure panelwork would be easier...

I'n not entirely sure what the question is, but have a google for the dpc 14 manual which might help.

If 2nd hand, cash on collection, inspect it carefully to make sure it is as described. Always make sure the charger and keys are with it as there are a lot of stolen bikes for sale.

If buying a pre-used one make sure you get the battery charger and keys. Lots of stolen bikes about which don't usually have them.

Further proof that wealth and intelligence are not always related.

Also depends on how it split, if dropped hard enough to damage the case what condition are the cells within. Lithium cells can behave badly when angered.

You also need to change to a low gear before stopping, that will make getting away easier and quicker. Essential for junctions as well as hills.

Might just need a new cassette and chain with the gear selection set correctly. It could be a freewheel rather then a cassette.

It should be possible to restore to factory settings via the advanced section of the display. Find what display you have and google for on-line instructions.

Halfords are box shifters with partly trained monkeys holding spanners. Asking for anything unusual is never going to have a successful outcome.

When I was planning my ride of the length of the Kennet & Avon canal I was warned to be particularly careful of the Bristol to Bath section, it was fine for me but there have been many cyclists mugged there.

Good quality battery LEDs front and rear? Cheap, no wiring and batteries last incredibly well.

I have the DPC14 colour display, it's very easy to use and clear to read. I think I have the 46 tooth sprocket, but it's fine with a 7 speed derallier for both flat road and steep hills. I would also suggest getting the special spanner as the nuts need to be very firm and the alloy outer nut...

Getting the MOT in 3 years time will be fun.

Would it need a countershaft closer to the swinging arm pivot to help with chain alignment and also to reduce gearing, having the motor drive on the opposite side to the chain would also correct the rotation problem. Have you looked at Endless Sphere forum, they have quite an active section on...

Needs a seperate thread really but Sustrans were very involved with 'improving' the Meon Trail. They rely on local volunteer wardens to help control vegitation growth, maybe something for local riders to consider helping with. I've cycled the Wickham/West Meon route before but it is a little far...

Look up Miromax for some ideas, conversions can certainly be engineered but at a cost. I doubt anything designed for cycle use would be of much use. I looked into converting a small outboard motor for canal use but it became unfeasable.

500w 48v not 250w 36v? Various discussions have taken place on here regarding problems encountered, best to search and have a read first. Also you also mean just the hub or a complete wheel.
