    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Eddie, Simon C excellent; it's an ebike forum your photo's have the bike as the centre showing what they will do and where they will go. What lookers the bikes are.

    Bulls bikes

    It will go a lot faster than 17 MPH, down hill and under your own pedal power on the flat. It's only the motor assistance that will fade at that speed.

    Trek Powerfly ( only gone and ordered one )

    Stylish bike, suits you and the terrain. You made a good decision there, any bike you have to wait for is a bike you do not want!

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Sadly this is only the baby thread. The previous Kalkhoff engine fault thread was 24 pages and still on thread. Strangely that one got closed, but this one is getting there!!!

    The new best headlight

    Are you sure the cells are not pre-welded, 2p 2s and the two wires must be 8.4 -5 volts as there are only two connections and the electricity needs to get to and from the other cells or there is no point having them. Also my charger says 8.4 volts, (V max). My batteries come in a lovely black...

    The new best headlight

    As there are four cells I guess the voltage cuts off at 5 volts and over voltage protection at 8.4 volts ish. I don't think there is any form of battery management just over and under voltage protection, which I am grateful for. The charger does the CC bit and then stops from what I can see...

    Those engines have been fitted to your bikes far too long about time they needed taking off.

    Jan 2016 Throttle Regulations

    It's not the being prosecuted for using a throttle that would be the problem. If you were involved in an accident where you or someone else was injured or worse, the financial claim after the accident would look at the state of your vehicle and were it found to have an illegal part or feature...

    Today I found a downside to EMTB's

    Your sons riding pants and boots do look lovely and clean though (new) and there seems to be a reluctance to change that (roadie)? Nothing to do with advantage in my dress code, it's a fashion statement that I like to make. I do not dress for the conditions I dress to impress, it's fashion...

    Well reverse current will just just take you back to the melting/fire bit. More than about 1.2 amps forward through the pcb LED will need some cooling and care

    I have used these myself, easy enough. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121175417735?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&var=420171825717&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT You can cut the heat sink with a pair of cutters to trim it to size, it is 3mm aluminium sheet. All the powerful Cree LED's are that...

    Are you sure they are big enough as that is a very large torch you put up, 4 of 18650 in the handle, not the normal tube with one in?

    I thought the last multi LED torch you had went on fire?

    You need a very big hand to hold it as well, if you had two how would you cycle?

    The Fat bike looks made for the conditions. Not sure if I am jealous or grateful we do not have snow?
