In fact, ignore my post above. I think it'll be the same as if I were buying stuff from China. I'll wait until companies and couriers have got their head around what's what.

My head hurts from reading all this stuff on the new rules. Once the dust finally settles and the majority of online traders and couriers are on the same page, then horror stories of double taxing should subside. Could anyone, who has trawled through the blurb, enlighten me please. With the new...

Reading that article, sounds like the courier companies have got straight on the case to hoover up very profitable handling charges (suppose it's better than hoovering up all the fish - classic Boris quote :D)

I think I read it in The Sun actually :D

Exactly David, and I keep hearing the word 'sovereignty' bantered about like people think it means something these days (Boris I'm looking at you!) I personally think the world works better, when there is a collective mindset on everyday global issues. The issue highlighted in this thread will...

You've probably already done this, but check the speed sensor magnet is passing close enough to the sensor on wheel rotation.

Thought PSW were a Chinese seller, so Brexit shouldn't affect stuff from them. Strange.

Deary me, I can see this type of disruption from many companies, going on for quite some time :oops:

I see one of the biggest issues, for me anyway, is not the fact that we may pay a little more for goods from the EU. Hell, the electric bike hobby has never been cheap full stop. It's the fact that now, once speedy deliveries from the EU on spares, will be much slower. It doesn't help that we...

There's a huge trade deficit, because we have nothing to offer anymore. The steel and car industries to name but a few. Even Dyson has seen the light.

My BBS02 has a little rubber strip fitted from factory. It's a few years old now, have they stopped putting that strip on?

Snap :D

Good thread and glad you got it fitted without any bother. I thought I would just provide a link to a thread of after market gear: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/after-market-bbsxx-crank-drive-gear.32691/page-4#post-585293 Some of the things on the list can make life a little easier...

Same chain as I use, you won't be disappointed!

For your peace of mind, I've been using KMC chains with a Missing Link for the last 8k miles (probably 5 chains). My BBS02 exerts a lot of torque on the chain and I've never had any problems. I probably wouldn't reuse a Missing Link though, new link with every new chain.

Ebay has already had this VAT payment system in effect with Norway, for a few months now. Apparently, the Norwegian's have something called the VOEC system. Shouldn't be difficult for eBay to implement something similar with other country tax authorities.

Also, just to add to Jim's post. If I intend on changing any settings, I will connect, click on 'Read Flash', then take a photo of the 3 tabs, just in case the parameter save file gets corrupted or lost.

This is the eBay reponse to potential changes: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/selling/vat-obligations-eu?id=4650

If you go crazy on changing parameters and ride your bike in the wrong gear all the time, then it can put more stress on the controller. But, a few subtle changes can make a world of difference to the performance of the bike, without causing any extra stress. In fact increasing one setting...

I usually base my eBay purchases on numbers sold and feedback. Taking a look at a few pages of recent feedback comments, usually gives me a good idea of whether a product is good or not. Oh, and avoid the cables with the see through casing. They're usually the cheap crappy generic Chinese ones...
