For visible phone pests have you tried an air horn? I had a hand bulb type, cheap as chips, and supper would be dished up when I signalled from a mile away.

Legal... ethical. Ethical... legal. Woosh did you post this? You may have been hacked...?

When lights dazzle me the nearby background isn't visible and neither is the vehicle. Without that frame of reference it quite often looks to be stopped and it can be a shock to discover it heading for me once it gets close enough to make out. What we should do to alert phone users I don't...

Add to all the above that you're probably experiencing two quite different "250W" power curves under conditions (cadence, sensor response) where they don't give maximum torque. And thankfully there are different ways to qualify as 250W, or they might all feel like your Shimano. Have a play...

They'd better hope that traffic will follow the path they expect, because a second later oncoming vehicles will be 12 car lengths closer. Once the driver's looking again they'll close another 8 lengths before s/he can begin to react. (The Highway Code bases its distances on a thinking time of...

Those are behaviour issues and there must be plenty of ways for govt to make this kind of misuse unattractive. One that I'm thinking of is to regulate towards the norm being a capable 50 mile EV with a small IC engine for occasional use, a bit more than the 40hp it takes to keep a car moving...

Hybrids - was it wise to ban them?

Your questions are entirely sensible but they plead for lots more reading or, much quicker, work out what result you want and who will provide it. A single cell stores 10Wh of leccy and 10x that amount in chemical energy, you have 20 of them, so at worst a momentary slip can trigger a 5 minute...

Based on forums (no experience of KT, sorry) but does anyone else think it sounds a bit like a controller running sensorless? You could disconnect 1 or more hall sensors, perhaps by butchering the old wiring, and see if it behaves much the same near stall speed. If so: 1) if with old wiring...

Good catch, I meant to say _hub_ motor. 250W assist on 22% only gets me to my wobble limit, my hub has to do at least that and soak up as much and more in waste heat.

You've been reading up on Aptera, haven't you? :) A solar skinned velomobile... I can't wait!

I do wonder whether our borderline nonsensical motor power rule is a civil servant's canny response to ignorant or conflicting instructions, leaving the door ajar so as not to rule out pedicab, cargo, disability and future innovations. In my own case we're surrounded by long 14%, even 22%...

I used a cable tie, a desk lamp and a plastic stool to sit at the right height for the bike fork. The three wheels turned out fine and I'm not sure how a 'proper' stand would improve on that.

Sorry, the kids raided.... a garden centre?? That's the most uplifting news since 2016 - I hope they found something nice.

We might as well do without them and spare ourselves the embezzlement. But I fear they've a plan for that, it worked before: "Brexit negotiator nowhere to be seen"... Voters frustrated... "Get Brexit Done" - Hooray, heroes!

That's worth Googling...

They can't do that! =8-0 Who's going to use the car wash with that thing close by??

"The Conservative Party has decided to make changes to enhance security around the ballot process". To rule out fraud surely they should have to vote in person and present ID in the form of a UB40 or rent book?

Some cycle computers want circumference so you could try around 65". Given 41V from your charger it's worth comparing your voltmeter with another, a few of my cheapies vary that much from the calibrated one.
