What is the air pressure in your wheels? I used to experience punctures due to a low pressure in the wheels. I'm currently doing fine with 60 PSI, but most of my experience colleagues at work keep telling me I need to get all the way up to 80psi to be on the safe side.

Chick this video... By the way, looks like the Mayor himself is using an electric bike on throttle, which is supposed to be illegal in Europe :)

I was given a choice by the dealer - either to get the bike with something like a 30% discount or to pay the full price with the cycle to work scheme. It was no brainer to me.

There are two types of riders; those who have gone down, and those who will. Regardless the type of your bike, wearing a helmet is always a good idea.

I just checked the wiki: ...By hijacking this process, exogenous opioids cause inappropriate dopamine release, and lead to aberrant synaptic plasticity, which causes addiction... I'm confused, this doesn't sound good... Eh... Should I be worried?

Just keep doing that for a month or two and you will get hooked to feeling "high" after you get off the bike. I just can't get enough of it :).

Priceless... And I just get out of my head that smile of the "thumb up lady" at 39 seconds... :)

You derestricted your bike and made a documentary video of your son illegally riding it on UK public road. I guess now he will be supporting you for the rest of his poor life :)

My 2C's. If you decide to go with modifying your rear hub, don't forget to check if there is enough room both for the hub and for for the 9 gear sprocket that your bike have. Great bike, by the way.

And of course, the oil barons haven't spent a penny to fight back. And UK government had not increased the taxation on the bio-fuels to make them economically inefficient for most of us, it was probably done by the bad boys as a part of the nuclear conspiracy. And the CO2 has zero effect on the...

DaaFallus is daa fast beast!!! :) It does make some noticeable noise, however is is no that bad either. Would be interesting to compare this to the video of your son riding the KTM on the same road. Thanks for sharing

Nice bikes! Since the freewheel spin test is meaningless with the crank motor, I wonder how easy is to actually ride them unassisted compared to each other (and possibly to a similar type non-electrical bike). Thanks Alex

It has nothing to do with your personal believes or the earth running out of oil. It is all about releasing huge amounts of accumulated CO2 and energy to the Earth ecosystem at higher rates than Earth is capable to naturally remove/dissipate. "To avoid a global warming of 2.1°C, it is...

OK, I give up. I'll stop playing with the numbers and will get back to the main idea which triggered this arguing. As a result of the efficient energy transmission in electrical cars, all fossils accumulated over billion years will not be burned out over a period of 200 years period as I...

Trex, Nice theory, however it is totally irrelevant: 1. Most of the fossil burning power plants today are Coal/Gaz generators. Replacing engines in cars is not going to make more efficient use of energy from that point of view. However electric cars is a nice step towards the world with no more...

Hi Trex, Are you trying to imply, that in case of diesel fuels 80% of energy is lost as opposite to the crude oil fired generators? Well, the petrol and jet fuel are still used in internal combustion/engines so the energy is not lost. And the rest is used for plastics/food industry which makes...

We need to realize that fossils had actually accumulated the sun energy (through the photosynthesis process) over a few billion of years. Releasing all that accumulated energy back to planet (either by burning in engines, houses or power plants) over a period of only 200 years may not be the...

I guess you haven't look at the article I've attached to my post. Otherwise you would know that the efficiency of the electric motors is strongly affected by the load. Anyway, let's play with your numbers. Let's take the 50% efficiency of the gas generators and pretend that there are no...

1. Statistically, there is a significant drop of rate at which new reserves are discovered. As was true in the 1950s and '60s, but then finds increased again in the 1970s and '80s. This could be easily explained by the fact that most of US oil reserves were either depleted or already...
