    Nylon Gears in Ebike motors. Why?

    Early Bafang BBS series had that covered. Water got in naturally through the pedal shafts.

    Nylon Gears in Ebike motors. Why?

    To be honest, I don't see that there is much in common with the loads applied to a lock and an un-lubricated skew gear in a half kilowatt drive system. That is a very harsh environment and is a recipe for failure in my opinion. Steel on brass at these power levels is a guaranteed fail. Suitably...

    Nylon Gears in Ebike motors. Why?

    Wow. Horrific damage there. No sign of any lubrication. Bone dry metal gears. Not good. Also possibly some misalignment issue - worn bearings perhaps. Mainly though, I'd say some naive person put that together bone dry after removing the nylon gear and replacing it with one made of brass. Edit...

    How much battery sag is too much for a 3 year old battery?

    On the question of how much life there is in this over three year old battery of mine. I'd say now that I was quite wrong to suspect it was on its way out. That said, I don't think it would qualify as a high drain type, but run lightly, it seems to have a pretty good range. After 31 miles...

    Harris won't win. She won't win for all the reasons I already posted: - whatever her achievements, she is unappealing to the average voter - people are disgusted at the way the Democratic Party pretended that the dementia patient was a great choice for POTUS for the next four years when he can...

    Hi, New to ebikes looking into convert

    I think it would be true to say that Guerney and I are both VERY happy with our Bafang crank drive systems. Speaking for myself, I can't get enough of mine. I'm clocking up the miles with a big grin on my face. Maybe its a case of horses for courses since not everybody has the same...

    Yes - been there and done that myself.

    Hi, New to ebikes looking into convert

    What is your general location? There are some good bike converters, but you need to be nearish to them to make it worthwhile.

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    There is another current thread in which NealS is advising how to do this. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/crank.47519/post-719437 Read that and the subsequent post.

    Wisper Is my Wisper 575Wh battery toast?

    This shows a very poor attitude Nigel. You seem to forget that you are asking this guy for help. You have been offered a variety of options, none of which you have even considered. Early on, Saneagle mentioned that the batteries might just be out of balance, but you do not seem to have even...

    We'll talk again about this in November. Then, one of us can apologise to the other for being an idiot.

    You still don't engage with reality. SHE DOES NOT APPEAL TO ORDINARY VOTERS. However much you want her to beat Trump - she won't. She is unappealing.

    The e-bike that does everything

    Engue bike different model review and realistic range test. She doesn't get as far as she had hoped.

    The e-bike that does everything

    Not being argumentative (what me? Never) but I think saying expect 1/3rd quoted range is maybe a bit harsh. I agree with he rest of what you say. EDIT: I weigh a bit less than 12 and a half stones, am 73, live in a very hilly area and I can still get 40 miles out of my more than three year old...

    These qualities may indeed be hers, but you have taken no notice of my points about whether she is electable and what it is which appeals to the average voter. As I said earlier, it is not the already converted activist base you need to appeal to to win an election - it is the mass of ordinary...

    If she does, I will eat my cycle helmet. She is not popular. It may be that she is clever and competent, but if people outside the inner folds of the Democrat Party don't warm to her, she will never get the mass of the American population to vote for her in the numbers required to win. It...

    This is a question for the knowledgeable EBike Bafang BBS01B owners.

    That is a useful page reference. Probably the best explanation of parameters I've seen.
