I only buy wine in screw cap bottles, as it has been tested that these wines are far less likely to go off due to bacteria invasion. And I have several cork screws, that work well and were very reasonably priced, but I haven't used one in years! Also, cork sealed wines need to be kept at an...

Someone has a switched on brain! That appears to me to be an excellent way to "fix the problem!" I wonder if the chain wear is seriously reduced or not, does anyone have some facts? Theoretically, chain wear should be about the same as a hub bike..... regards Andy

Clever. I really don't feel that I need it, but when I need to repace the chain/Cassette, I may well try it out, as old Scots try anything to save a few Bob!! Many thanks. Andy

Great post! I was fairly sure that someone here would show the Dunning Kruger effect in action! -and they did! Many thanks Andy

Its what I am as I have always stood up for myself and for anyone weaker, at all times in my 76 year old life. Its how others treat me, other people with no intelligence and no basic good manners. Also seen far too often here on pedelec..... But I have always allowed people who look for a...

How true! regards Andy

Thanks for the reply (assuming that you are replying to my question of course), but none of these are specific to a hub bike, as I asked. In fact they are applicable to any bike, electric or not, except the last one...... The very specific "single point of failure" I tend to mention, to fully...

Best wishes, I hope that you manage to get it working again, one way or another. At least you now have some good help here on Pedelec. Regards Andy

That is what generally happens when the cells go below the set minimum for the battery, and charging is blocked. Usually, the use of a "0 volt recivery charger "(strange name), will recover the cells back to normal. I only know of one company selling them, for 36 volt batteries only, here:-...

You are comparing a human, who in fine fettle can supply about 100 watts continuously, to a 750 watt motor? Where are you getting your facts from??? See here:- https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2016/12/08/504790589/could-you-power-your-home-with-a-bike Where you can read and hear (with no wind...

Actually, my obsession is designed more to inform people, particularly newbies, of the pros and cons of the different styles and designs of e-bikes. I learned via friends who bought Bosch bikes, around the time that I bought my first e-bike (2nd hand) of the awful problems some were having...

I have had 2x 250 Watt rear hub e-bikes, they are the only legal ones here allowed. The first bike was a cheapo, and I paid around 180 UK Pounds for it, 12 months old, and I covered around 30,000 Kms, over 8 years, riding in all weathers except snow and ice. I used 2 new chains and one new...

All mid motor e-bikes with a chain drive will ALWAYS suffer more chain and sprocket wear, simply because all the motor AND the human developed torque travel via the relatively weak, chain drive. Furthermore, certain failures of the mid motor unit on some designs, can also stop any torque from...

Thanks for warning us all, as such posts are very helpful for us all when members cite just how bad some companies are with their products and (lack of) customer service. Many thanks Andy

You may be correct, but that is only true if the bike is working fully correctly, and its apparently not working as it should...... Nuff said! Andy

Do the brake cutouts kill the motor correctly? If not, that company needs to fix that bike pronto! If they do not fix it correctly for you, post their name and address here on Pedelec to warn other "buyers!" regards Andy

I would like to thank all contributors to this subject, as it brings more safety ideas and designs to all members who can read! Very important. Regards Andy

NICE!!! Andy

Well done. Andy

Looks really great. If the both inside ends were glued to a coil spring, middle of which is securely mounted to the rack, to allow movement if hit by a car, it may prevent possible breakage...and you being "shook up".... I would think that they need to be wider than you have at this time, and...
