    Converting a little folder

    Thanks Peter. I especially like the way the PAS ring seems from my reading of your account, to simply clip onto the crank... Is that right? I have an urge to maybe convert my Brompton to electric power and I think the available kits from Woosh look as if you need to pull the crank arm off...

    Glad it worked so well. Hope it proves durable. You seem to have achieved a highish average speed. Does it cut off at 15.5 mph? Your average speed is above that. Also, very good efficiency with so little of the battery used. Amazing really.

    Help! New and in need of help.

    Awkward that.... If you hang about, an expert will no doubt be along shortly. I guess until you get it fixed, you could maybe control the top speed by not pedalling as it begins to go too fast. Not a fix of course. Someone will soon be along with a better idea... :)

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

    Well go and take a nap. You are talking nonsense and sound like there are other issues upsetting you besides what we get up to. Please feel free to put me on ignore if my musings upset you.

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

    From what I have heard and read, those Bosch 250 watt motors are FAR more powerful than that. It is about like when VW faked the tests of some of their diesel cars and committed fraud against the legal authorities and the public who they sold them to. But you are right. Who wants to have their...

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

    This is probably the most 'over-heated' scare nonsense I have ever seen here. Nobody cares and nobody is going to look at your bike unless you do something really stupid and obviously a danger to the public. When I am in town, I daily see multiple Deliveroo electric motorbikes driving about on...

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

    'TIME OF STOP' maybe? Mine is set at 25. I have never changed that setting. I only edited things I think I understand. It doesn't take long. One slightly weird but not unpleasant thing is that the power comes in what I'd call waves. I come to a slope and the power delivery has been very low or...

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

    I think those number assumptions are right. Your sudden activation in long grass could have happened because the grass moved the crank arm. Mine happened because of a small amount of drag in the motor freewheel while the motor was turning the chain wheel and there was no weight on the pedals...

    If true, isn't that completely ridiculous? I am all for adults being allowed to be free to do ordinary things without overbearing state interference. I am also fine with people who do harm to others, including through negligence, being given severe penalties. Of course, as you noted, I...

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

    Yes that sounds reasonable. I have done what you said, and found that the power out on throttle is only suitable for walking the bike up a hill and not for a smart pull out onto a road or a hill start. Really feeble power only available with the settings we discussed. However, a weird thing...

    You really would need to be a twisted nutter to try to make a dog into a vegan. They do eat pretty much most food, though. Nipper ate quality fish/rice fish/potato and chicken /rice/potato all his life. He is 14, which is a good age.

    :) Joking aside - there is no rise in cases of cancer not easily explained by the fact that we have more old people than ever before, and that cancer is mostly an illness of advanced age. Sad to say, my old Border Terrier (14 years old) has just been diagnosed with cancer in his jaw. A...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    No - I know all that. I am not as sure as you that it was an actual plot, but I will await more evidence. My point was this - a canvasser who walks into a campaign and offers to help knock on doors is NOWHERE in the party hierarchy. Even taken at face value as presented, it is ludicrous to...

    Chilling remarks really. There has always been a snooty, paternalism among some left activists who are in my view fundamentally anti-democratic, but they are rarely as open about it as this. Yes - ordinary people - you are not fit to have the vote you were given. We do not need to take your...

    I have had quite a bit of fun messing about with these settings considering the low cost of the cable which was about £9 delivered. You helped a lot by sending the web page which works with my chromebook and your advice on settings.

    Hey - this just sunk in.... That's a good idea. I am going to try that. Scrub the above comment. I had not properly grasped this point. What you suggested would give you a powerful get away throttle. On the other hand, it would need you to arrive at a junction and set the PAS to 0, in order to...
