True. Andy

I understood that they are apparently not required in the daytime. But as we have really thick fogs here, I would have imagined that they could serve as an extra indicator for overtaking traffic on such days...... Even on non foggy days I have my lights switched on.....but that is just my...

You would think that all bikers want to be clearly seen at night for (obvious?) safety reasons, but methinks some really don't!!! :oops: Regards Andy

Its never too late to change something or learn something new......as long as you are still breathing! :D regards Andy PS. I was a computer specialist with some large US companies for a great many years after leaving the RN at 27. After I retired I worked as a lock smith for almost a year, but...

I do believe that this problem is known (at least here on Pedelec), as I do believe someone last year mentioned it. So its apparently not just you having such problems. Depending upon the metal used and the design of your rack, you may find it easier (and probably also cheaper), to have a...

You may get more help here if you supply photos of everything and state the make and the exact model of your bike......its all a bit "up in the air" at this moment..... Just a thought! regards Andy

Someone here will know just how many different ones are around, my guess is maybe 4, but I could be way out. So whatever you have now, cuts that number by one, if someone here (not me sadly!) can recognize it..... Hopefully there are fewer than my guess, as they are on ebay relatively cheap if I...

Most days I read the new Pedelec posts, and in my humble opinion ONLY, just from reading those posts, it seems that the more expensive the bike, the more likely you are to experience such problems...Especially when its a few years old. Being a DIY biker, with electrical knowledge, its always a...

Halfords does it again....... :mad: :oops:o_O best wishes for a speedy fix. Andy

I just looked, you are right. Many thanks for correcting my incorrect "thoughts". It still leaves the question of possible real weak points that he did not appear to try and break though.....he just cut in one place..........or did I miss something else? o_O regards Andy

He will simply have to remember to use both on a hill, or simply get off..... I myself do not see that as a problem, as in a worse case situation, his motor will "kick in", against the rear brake, to remind him and keep him from running backwards...... Andy

Very well put, I totally agree with your comment! Its not dangerous if the OP is using his brakes correctly..... So this is not a problem for the OP. On a good well adjusted bike, the front disk brake (sometimes even of a larger diameter than the rear brake), is usually designed to be the most...

Deus, thanks for posting a very interesting test, but the tester is a complete numbskull, no eye or face protection.......so one cannot be 100% sure that he even picked the correct "weak point" on the device..... Thanks again Andy

....and the battery may also be dead! regards Andy

You may find this interesting when compared to the amount of energy you may have left in your battery during a ride:- https://frugalinsa.com/boil/how-much-energy-does-it-take-to-boil-1-litre-of-water.html Also, assuming that you have a 36 volt battery, a kettle element for 36 volt DC I have...

I hope that you manage to heal quickly and well. Who knew that Badgers could be so dangerous? :eek: regards Andy

The question is very valid, but probably only the Police and/or thieves will really know I guess. Can anyone else give us all a valid answer? I did find this:- https://www.bikebiz.com/over-two-thirds-of-stolen-bikes-sold-on-within-hours-of-being-taken/ Andy

That is exactly how many motorbikes are stolen, with a van and two strong men to lift. It only takes seconds. Andy

Sadly demonstrating again why two (minimal) locks are needed, plus a loud and sensitive alarm as well, when parking where the general public is close..... If you are the owner of a £3000 E-bike or similar. A well hidden GPS tracker is also a good idea.....available for around £40 on ebay. Not...

You have never experienced being in a dark forest, when the battery gets shut down. I have. Once was MORE than enough! It was way before I had two main batteries as well..... So since then I have always had two front lights, both on their own rechargeable AA Cells, of high quality and capacity...
