Dynamic Position

Hope you have sorted out the the problem now? Your new controller may be supplying lights with reverse polarity of the old controller, best to check polarity with meter if you can.

Try putting battery on the battery charger, switch on to wake up the battery from its hibernation mode. Battery indicator lights should light up. Providing the battery is not fully discharged it should now be usable.

I came across this scenario last week when a cyclist was cycling contraflow in the cycle lane separated from the traffic by the regulatory dashed painted line. At first I thought the cyclist was on the pavement and only realised that he/she was on the road as we passed. Looked very unsafe and too dangerous for me to ride a bike this way.

The computer can only work with the inputs it is given. My milage from a full tank of diesel will vary in a similar manner to the variance I get from a fully charged e-bike battery. Using the car my milage range is affected by traffic more than the e-bike but weather, ambient temperature, wind including wind resistance and hills can and do reduce my range by up to 40%. Tyre pressure of vehicle makes a fair contribution to fuel consumption whether in a car or on a bike. How the car is driven will also affect fuel milage and longetivity of the vehicle. E-bikes similarly being affected by how they are ridden and looked after. Generally though e-bike is better suited for the shorter journeys in traffic conditions adverse to a car. Having and using an e-bike can help you get more miles per gallon from your car.

Good to see article on stolen bike. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-25913241 We might not be able to prevent our e-bikes being stolen, but this shows how modifying our bikes in unique permanently visible way increases the chances of getting the bike back.

Beach, Looks like a neat and simple product which could be used for lots of applications, it is a shame that it has not worked out. I hope your retirement goes well as I look forward to reading more of your adventures. I'm particularly looking forward to some treasure hunting, hopefully you will post some details on your metal detecting trips?

Hi Beach, Interesting to read your posts. The Powabyke Euro looks great as does your location. My first thoughts was your ebike would be equiped to carry your fishing gear and metal detector but then thought that your choice of ebike was so you could adapt it? An ebike with some gravity zero point technology would certainly cause a stir? Looking forward to further postings.

Many members log in to see whats new but don't post. It would be better if Pedelec user title took into account time since they initially registered and became active ebikers. There is more to being an active Pedelec member than just frequency of posting.

Today, keep getting timed out from the server! Whats going on? Forum is getting worse to use! Only just get on to the site and it is unstable with page jumping to top of thread and characters when typed taking longer to show up on the screen!

Report in newspaper: "Cyclists are considered to be more intelligent and charitable than the average person, according to a new report. It found that sportsmen and women generally were more attractive than celebrities, with most qualities attributed to cyclists."

Cyclists come out on top

My phone browser gives me the option to remember passwords so can log in to pedelecs with just selecting the icon on my phone. Typing errors etc. easy to correct after posting by using the edit function. For me this appears to be easier to use than the old site.

New site Homepage. This page should be kept up to date, information on things that are no longer relevant should be replaced e.g. The Cycle Show, NEC Birmingham event September 2013.
