I guess if they buy dangerous enough batteries they can use the bikes a bit like fireships were used in the old days.

Cable is as likely (or more) than the levers or brakes. Are the screws holding the brakes to the support properly tightened (not too much) and the support clean and properly lubricated?

Yes, dogs with headphones is a major hazard. ... I agree that pedestrians can be very erratic; I know I am when I'm walking. If you ring as you approach a couple strategically placed to prevent passing on a widish shared patch they'll just swap over. Long dog leads are the biggest hazard...

... and of course a Tesla is only a bicycle with four wheels powered by batteries.

We were at a sculpture park leaving through an electric gate at the exit (quite some way from the park). A delivery driver had had to get out of his cab to open the gate. By the time he'd got back in the cab the gate decided it was time to close again, which it did over the cab door, trapping...

We need more info. How many teeth on the current 3 sprocket crankset? Is the bike electric? If so is the drive front, mid or rear?

Hard luck. Trikes are notoriously easy to turn over on corners if you aren't used to them. I believe those with two front wheels are a lot better in that regard than those with two rear wheels. I've never ridden either so second hand information.

What you have is called a speed controller; what you want is called a current controller. Those are both variants of cadence sensor controllers; a torque controller is more sophisticated than even the current controller. Speed controllers are the simples and cheapest, which is why many fairly...

Thank you. They do look good value; unfortunately they only seem to have a 48v battery (presumably what they use for their own conversions). Thanks; I'll do that.

I'll probably need to replace the Hailong battery that came with our Woosh XF07 kit some time fairly soon; still OK but certainly not got the capacity it used to. It is a 13Ah battery, I'd probably replace with something larger. I can see there are at least 3 kinds of HL batteries, with the...

Definitely Marathon Plus (probably MTB version). We found a good deal for a friend; 26x2.1 at £23.50...

The stated ranges often allow for inappropriate big front to big rear gear setting. You'll almost certainly be OK with a few teeth bigger at the back as long as you are happy with some odd grindings if you (inadvertently or in an emergency) do go big to big.

Yes, that seems to be the issue; perhaps the site developers will have a look and fix it.

If you want to sell a bike, list it once. Maybe again after a week or so if you don't get any interest. If you want to irritate forum members, generate lots of identical posts. (or maybe it was the slightly odd forum software that meant you duplicated listings by mistake.)

We always used to use VLC, but have been using Media Player Classic for some time. Mostly playback quality was the same, but under some situation (I forget the details) MPC played back with much better quality than VLC. MPC can be set up for very convenient frame forward/back which is helpful...

Our son swears by cycle.travel (https://cycle.travel/). He does much more extensive trips than we do.

As others have said, it looks as if you've got the right size. Try getting the first bead in all the way round, insert the inner and pump it up just a little. Then fit the second bead, being very carful not to pinch the inner. Marathon Plus are usually very tight to fit, but I did have one once...

My first thought was battery, but OP did say he'd tried a different battery and it was the same. Maybe the second one was in bad shape too.

I suspect it was more a case that the relatives didn't care about legality than that they thought the bikes were legal. But I certainly agree it is a moral obligation on sellers to point out legality in very clear terms; and as many sellers have no moral sense there should be a much stronger...

I don't often seem to tick soundwave's posts, but certainly agree with this one.
