Agreed regarding making heat, the biggest savings come from electrical design. Also these motors shed heat poorly (cool cases) so it builds up inside and a heavier motor heats up more slowly. Check out the simulation: the Ezee produces 0.7 times the heat, is 1.6 times heavier and takes 2.8...

The usual bar end shifter would be indexed for 9 speeds and switched to non-indexed when your old motor was fitted. With 9sp you could get at least 34T and maybe smoother shifts. The AKM128, BPM, Shengyi SY22 and your Ezee are all in the same power bracket but the AKM is 3/4 the weight so it...

Thanks flecc, it felt like a stretch hence "The wording here...". So, how do we know when we've reached the bottom of the well? You commented here [1] on not trying to understand the law from government guidance pages, and identified the separate parts of the law. How can we tell that the...

Fair point, here's my take and I hope to hear whether it covers me. From the regs [1]: "the vehicle shall ... [have working pedals and] ... an electric motor which (i) has a maximum continuous rated power which does not exceed 250 watts; (ii) cannot propel the vehicle when it is travelling at...

Actually with such a short commute perhaps reliability needn't dictate everything. I'm interested to see how it works out.

@Moderators: Is there / can we have a Technical Reference forum in which to "pin" posts such as this? As flecc says "the law is very simple. i.e. no power above 15.5 mph, power only when pedalling, maximum power rating 250 watts." But the details saneagle provides, as he says, show the scope...

There looks like space for one of these above the shaft of the reach adjuster, it offers both polarities and works with a 2 pin harness. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385368468528

The connectors, supply wiring and signal polarity need to match and discussions seem to fall into Bafang vs non-Bafang. So I'd buy the gear that plugs together, test the 1T4 before connecting up and be prepared to rewire it. Remember to publish the wiring :) If the polarity needs inverting a...

2mm font, I can order bifocals but where do you find smooth tarmac?

Starting with the seat upright I could listen and look round so I took the mirrors off. As the seat goes lower looking back involves an elaborate squirm, following traffic thinks "WT..." and gives me a wide berth - who needs mirrors? The wrong glasses can get in the way though so I ought to...

Welcome to the fold, there's no turning back ;-> so yes a good mirror helps. Woosh has a DGW22C kit that ticks all the above plus it has the consistent climbing power of 48V, and the Dillenger can be a second battery. It's what I use on my SMGT. For the north downs this motor weight seems...

Weird, certainly. The site's up for me but the banner is neither text nor image and Google can't translate it, maybe someone here can help. Perhaps ominously juleidq.com gets a server reset during page loading. Julet provides the address xumeng@julet.cn

Have you checked with the equipment maker to be sure it's Julet? The name on the shell looks like HUFT / ALUFT....

48v bbs01ET, 1x10 drivetrain, primarily commuting 6 mile max... we need to know more about how this camel got here ;-) How steep are the hills and what will your usual all-up weight be? Will you need to count on the bike "daily all year" or will high maintenance be part of the fun?

Half fill the balloon-in-a-bag or inflatable cushion and rest your feet on it, then as you pedal down with one foot the other rises, repeat. Movement and visualising another activity are supposed to help to unwind, and maybe ward off DVT. You can tie a tight waist in the cushion between the...

1) Noise cancelling headphones 2) soft balloon in a bag 3) close your eyes and 'pedal' your new recumbent. Then you've only your environmental conscience to deal with... 8-(

Your pictured items look OK and battery perforance deteriorates more gradually than other components. As Saneagle said capacity declines but also the current they can give, which you'd notice as coping with less steep gradients than before and for a shorter distance uphills even when fully...

RH2 please flecc. This is true dedication... have you really made 570 updates by hand? :eek:

Also appreciate 'speed and convenience' tips like turning Ergon grips upward, fitting the bike in a trolley etc. My Dahon Vitesse 20" just looked too big to even try it out, doh!

Neatly done. Which bike or wheel size is this, and what stops it getting shaken off the trolley while wheeling it around? Much overhang to the sides? Photo if possible?
