The ergonomics sold me on an Agattu and I bought a used one with a newly fitted Impulse 2 motor. 1800 miles later the motor's toast but the battery is still good at 9 years of age, the overbuilt frame barely notices 35kg luggage and it's been a great intro to riding MTB trails. There's a fine...

If the fatigue can hit hard i.e. exhaustion, you'd need a high capacity battery to make this work, and your wife would need to be OK with piloting her EV when it happens. You could get a small battery to fit the triangle (or a seatpost rack), she'd ride that until empty, and you would carry a...

For easy trails a well-chosen hub drive system could tick all your bullets except for solving the battery fitment issue. If you're limited to a bottle battery and your trails are steep (say 8%+) the battery current rating might become an issue, more so with hub drive.

> guess its a bin job now. I'm sure that was just a turn of phrase but a failed e-bike battery has to be taken to a recycling depot. Quite how I'm not sure because if they get cross they're almost impossible to put out. By wheelbarrow perhaps?

Scary is the word, after some close passes I toyed with the idea of a fish emblem to suggest a wavy path.Looking at the cars across the street I see their rooves edge-on, my half metre advantage doesn't take effect until I'm almost next to them. So for a car closing fast your 'presence' could be...

> A roads, generally at quiet times, has been a real eye opener. Just a thought, can the GuerniCar be mounted vertically to give clearer binocular perspective to fast traffic? When reverse parking a car with only a painted wall behind I long for a visual landmark, and maybe there's a similar...

For that demanding use I'd go for a mid-drive, the main reason being that the bike's gearing should allow lower peak current and a smaller battery. Also, yes heresy, I'd try out the battery under the saddle, with the CoG nearer your own, to keep the bike's flickable character.

...the seller isn't confident? I've a hunch it'll be based on escrow or Fox-Goat-Cabbage / atomic swap. This one's through Ebay, I've 100% FB and not had this problem before. Seller wants Ebay's security code up front "in order to hand over the bike" and I've a feeling they'll want cash...

I've a 'speed' based controller to which I added more PAS levels, selected by finger tip controls on the grip. It's very rideable on road and could equally work with a current controller. Off-road it hasn't quite the quick response of my TS bike but the tweaking continues. There are some...

It's not something I'd want to use because of the low efficiency but it solves a problem where you can't tap into the bike's wiring. There's some good advice in this thread: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=106269

I've not seen one in the flesh but their website says 26.5kg plus the battery, making around 32.5kg. Even without the battery that's plenty to lift into a car boot. Is the hinge pin removable? ;-D

Hi Chamzamzoo, have you come across this, it might do what you want: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294642898637 The extension battery feeds this regulator which you adjust to give up to 2A at up to the fully charged voltage of the original battery. Then to the original battery it looks like a...
