    Which helmet for ebike? What do you use?

    Here's a thought about gloves, I bought a pair of warm winter cycling gloves, OK, but not v waterproof. The problem arose when I got thrown by a tramline, going down hill @ 10mph. I put my hands out as I went down, the soft fabric palm gripped the road, the rest of me kept going, a severely...

    Bbs01 and gearing ratios.

    Hi. I've been playing with the gearing on my hybrid. Originally 700c with 34-13 x 7 and the bafang 46t front cog. Restricted to 15mph. The first change was to fit a 34-11 x 7.

    Yes, no and not possible! Though there are some motorised unicycles, they'd need a segway balancing system. easier is a large monowheel, you and motor sit inside the wheel.

    Your top speed can be adjusted as you are riding, so as the dibble pull you over... It's not something to worry about. Just keep it at 15.5mph. My Bro has a Hailong with a Bosch mid drive, he is waiting for the dealer to fix his control panel. I just sort Bbs01b out myself, tweak settings with...

    Bosch ebike tracker plus speed Dongle

    I only suggested the probable reason, without condoning it, and got a kicking from the self appointed mods. We both know it was to go faster in the grounds of your mansion, legally.

    Priceless, so simple for small businesses to sort out. Good old BREXIT!

    That will definitely lead to a load of old guff, eg 350m and most of the Sayings of Nigel about how many hard working furriners are queuing to get in to contribute to the economy.

    Review Bafang BBS01b 250w DIY fitting - traps, pitfalls and review

    Using the frame with the socket in a vice can be a good idea. I do the same removing a freewheel block. Saw a halfrauds "mechanic" struggling to do that very job with a spanner. Standing next to the vice. I passed on the tip, nicely.
