I do hope they have automatics, browning high powers, revolvers are so last century old chap.

A MOSFET is like a carburettor, it allows power to energy into the engine. More is better if you need high power. 6 is about the minimum and 12 is common but not nessiasry for a 350 watt bike.

34 miles 1'55" and 1300' climbing. Come to the fast side my friends.

It's the brexit troll who has never biked. I could put up with everyone else.

thanks to D8veh,Flecc and others for advice education and support. I have two velomobile snow and get 18 mph averages without electric assist. So I will not need to frequent these pages. It's been interesting and enjoyable, only one person on my ignore list. Trex is missed too for his trustworthy advice. So long and see you on the road.

She had it coming

The Tory policy is to force scum onto bike as could never afford a proper 4*4

Test ride every bike with the power off. It shows two things, what it would be like with falt battery, as above And just how good a bike it is, if it's a dog then the battery has to fight that before it gets to help you, so short range etc.

21 gears is a flash advert spec for cheap gears. Ebikes can make do with 7 gears and if you only need 15 mph then 3 speed is plenty.

Disk brakes are a no brainer nowadays. Great stopping power in the wet and hydraulics don't need adjustment for thousands of miles.

The wattage is controller dependant. The basic idea is voltage it runs at times max rated current equals max power. The second is manufacturers also have a rated power. For a 250watt motor or legal classification they often run at max of 6-800 watts. Motors rated at 500 watts tend to be limited to 500 watts, if they could do more they would be called 1000 watt motors etc

Don't bother I have suggested jobs but he's making too much as he is.

No bikey mcbikeface was trashed by a van. I was invisible in a 3 meter banana. This is the replacement I have bought. Pending insurance etc.

To avoid Lycra and stay dry, one of these with assist and you will do more than 20 on the flat too.

Change the gearing, a small crank ring and big ring at the back

Membership has a cost, yes but it also has benefits. No European war in seventy years would be nice. Being part of a club that stopped us being bullied is nice. Having free travel throughout Europe with all the local benefits was nice. Having a damper on local political idiots was nice. Human rights were nice. Big support when local issues happened was nice. Remember how bad it is to live in Europe, the Germans have a great economy and can get to all the resorts we can, the French can retire at 60 and enjoy local bread cheese and plonk. The Dutch have a good life too. It's obviously far better in toxteth and Scunthorpe.

A complete charging cycle is full- flat - full charge. The way it works is two half discharges and recharges = one cycle. Splitting the cycle makes no difference. Warning going absolutely flat can do other things and kill the battery as will over charging. More than 100%

I Is that 2+ in Roman numerals?

I ts the motor that changed the Panasonic is economic and rarely has any failures. The modern ones are high performance run the batteries down quickly and have has some issues. Ergo if you want assistance and good range the older ones are better. The modern gears and suspension components are good but haven't made significant progress in the last 10 years.

I found the 26 volt Panasonic drive ok on steep hills, but I didn't expect motorcycle performance and did work to help it climb slowly. Without the motor I wouldn't have even attempted the hill in bath I'm thinking off.

Wot wicky and Neath said

Ignore the 250 watt number. It's a manufacturing rated limit. To sell bikes they rate more powerful motors as 250 watt but have peak powers that can hit 750 watts. But that would drain the battery in 40 mins. The 15 mph limit is also interesting some bikes will do 18 mph?

Whisper and woosh are British owned , they specify the frame and motor setup and have them made for them. That's as near as British built as you currently get.
