    Physics of Bicycles

    I was interested in where the energy to power a bike goes and the various bike design parameters, not really specific to just electric bikes e.g. 1) weight - at first I was thinking this only really applied to hills, but I'm realising that there are very few completely flat roads and even on a...

    How do I calculate how many calories I’ve burned?

    I think these calorie calculations are fraught with error - different fitness bands give very different estimates. Some do an estimate purely on heart rate not on distance/speed. If you looked at it in purely heart rate in 6 hours of cycling, you would struggle to burn less than 400 calories...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    For comparison, I'm getting up this on a couple of my hub bikes (36v 18a and 48v 15a controllers), where I am roughly 17 stone. I'm pedalling hard, but not getting out of the saddle. With the BBS01 you have the advantage of the motor's effort going through the gears (whereas on my hub bikes...
