I used to work in and with most aspects of law for a decade. The UK law is one of the most restrictive limits with regards e bikes. The politicians that pass the law, didn't spend any amount of time going through all the different speeds, limits and restrictions. one person said something and...

That's why I was thinking of restricting the amps to keep everything in check. I had just speed restricted the motor before, but now I know restricting the amps would have been better. I honestly don't care about the road legal side, as I think it's a joke and severely stopping people from...

That's just a gearbox (derailleur replacement) anyone building a gearbox and mid drive motor in one?

I did look into getting a IGH wheel built at my local bike shop, but he'd rather just fix punctures it seems. I even started watching videos on how to build my own wheels but as I want to use it daily as a car replacement I'd rather it was done properly. Why do people recommend 250w? Id rather...

**NECRO POST** Just a heads up that Conti have shut down their whole ebike business, so it looks like mid drive + gearbox still isn't coming any time soon. Is anyone else making any progress with mid drive + gearbox development?

OK, so after nearly a year I have blown my BBS02B controller and the replacement has got "lost in the post", and I need to stop using the car. After doing all my research before buying, I settled on mid drives being better, but I honestly hate the maintenance / fixing / replacing the chain and...

Where are the tests / test centres / ratified higher power ebikes? Seems if you want to go over 15mph you can as long as you burn dinosaurs. Or have a stupid electric motorbike. You're saying there's a reason for the limit and that's fine I'm saying that they should only bring in laws and...

Insurance is prohibitively expensive regardless of power. My insurance premiums fell when I moved to more powerful sports cars with sports packs. I'm against the fact that their is no regulated faster ebike. Yes you can get a faster one then jump through hoops but I feel the whole industry...

If you have mobility issues you can get a class 3 mobility scooter. If you want an ebike with lower power get a lower power one. Restricting all ebike to 4mph/15mph because a selection might not be able to handle higher is ridiculous. Most new /young drivers can't handle high powered cars...

The government loves the fact that everyone drives. I changed my job two years back from a place where everyone drove due to its location and no public transport links. To a place where public transport is available and more people get public transport than drive but only a few cycle...

What a pile of tosh. I see all the frankly draconian legislation as just a way to put off people buying into what is a brilliant new form of transport. Why? My guess would be lost revenue from reduced petrol/diesel sales. Most things get legislation imposed when problems arise, but e-bikes...
