    Thoughts on regulations?

    I did not watch it all, but if I understood her on the video, she has never ever fallen off! Lucky for her. Boring video....Best part is the dog!!

    Uk Police using E Bikes

    I know that I was inside shocked rigid when the pilot turned the "Computer" off!!! I had hoped that it might be better today! Obviously a falso hope! Thanks for your reply. Andy PS. The crash video certainly brought back some very old memories, and I am still alive to remember! Can't complain!

    Uk Police using E Bikes

    Great video as nobody was apparently harmed. When I was in the RN (1963 to 1973), the choppers we were using then had a "computer" (as we called it) to smooth out the flying. I did not know this at the time".......important! We used to get trips on aircraft, if we wanted to, and if there was...

    First funny moment on an ebike

    I am not 100% sure, but are you on a hub bike, and he is on a mid motor bike? Which one(s) made the loud noises? Do you know each other at all? It looked like a fun ride! How did it end up? Andy

    Help please with Kalkhoff Agattu transmission

    Here are chains and removable links, dozens of them, with one single search using "Bike Chain" for searching! I found on ebay:- 10,834 results for bike chain Which one is for your bike just needs careful measurement, and a search. Counting the number of links is quite normal. Buying one a bit...

    Help please with Kalkhoff Agattu transmission

    All parts available on ebay for instance, plus cheap toolkit with a tool to cut off links if needed, removing cassettes, and other useful bits and pices! The only place that you may make an error (I did once), is ordering the wrong type of cassette, as there are at least two different systems...

    Are you mixing stuff up? I mentioned twice to get a locksmith, or did you miss that? The locks used on batteries for bikes, are IMHO cheapos, at least the ones I have seen, mailbox locks..... Just as the video showed. Are you confusing that with a high quality chain type Bike lock? There is a...

    Controller Light Output - Uses?

    You apparently do not understand how high wattage ceramic resistors work either. They are sealed, and can be safely used in many environments! Another negative! Thats like saying that a ceramic tea cup would leak tea!!! A standard carbon resistor might be affected, but not a metal or...

    Controller Light Output - Uses?

    You have to find (easily) far more serious places to save power than that! The sheer number of TVs on standby, the SAT receivers on standby, all wasting in a day, far more power than any light on a bike for a few hours or riding when SOME times its switched on, are far more wasteful of...

    Controller Light Output - Uses?

    You spell even worse that you calculate! In one short sentence, two spelling errors!!! (resisor needs to disipate) DUUUUHHHHH! Also, you apparently did not look at the web page I posted, as it states clearly that a 1 Watt LED needs only 3.6 volts! Industry standard. I used 4 volts to keep it...

    Controller Light Output - Uses?

    Till someone takes the time to measure and compare the losses between the two styles, with an identical LED, there is really no comparison, you are being over awed by the thought, not by actual values!! Furthermore, many lights are quoted in LUX only, which makes such calculations more...

    A point, but as all the information is already on the web, does it make a difference in the long run? I would expect a thief to not go online for such infos from us here....not 100% of course, but he comes over as being honest for me personally. Andy

    Controller Light Output - Uses?

    You got it immediately! My compliments! Many don't, but any extra power usage is hardly noticeable in comparison to the motor. Though I have not done any measurements, as it would just be a waste of my time. Plus, if a proper voltage dropper was installed, and it went wrong, finding something...

    The Reality of Owning and Maintaining a Pedelec

    I seem to get through brake pads relatively often, but they are really cheap on ebay and I buy up to 8 pairs at a time, replacement is a work of minutes, mostly the front disk. I have a spare disk that I bought, but up to now not needed. Please note that both my disks are reversed to what is...

    lost keys haibike

    Guessing only and assuming its a small cylinder lock, but most bike keys/locks that I have seen, are usually quite simple, and just about any (even an amateur) locksmith will allow the lock to be opened and the battery removed, making replacement of the barrel simple. Drilling is an option, but...

    Controller Light Output - Uses?

    The e-bike lighting that I have looked at, has a dropping resistor and a LED light. For example, my lights accept the 36 volts of my battery. Guessing a bit, I would expect that to be pretty normal. If I misunderstood your question, my apologies. regards Andy

    Best way to a safe recharge of your batteries?

    Your method is very good IMO. The only point that you may be less well informed about, is that IF a fire happens (Laptop, phone or any Li-ion battery), though unlikely, you need to be able to immerse the whole battery in water in some way, if at all possible. But I really don't think that you...

    Extending arm to reduce chance of been hit by overtaking car

    That has not been proven yet, either way. I never had a car driver complain to me when using mine years ago, and I never had any "near misses" from cars while using it either....They really would have stuck in my mind, I can assure you. But I am not assuming anything, proof and facts are needed...
