If this ends up becoming law, then I reckon that'll totally kill off the electric bike industry there. No one in their right mind will want to ride whilst wearing full gear. It negates the effect of arriving at work sweat free, and I personally think full face helmets stifle peripheral vision...

Where the regs stipulate crash helmet, does that mean one of those full face thingies?

If, as your forum ID suggests, you are new to the game, I would go for anotherkiwi's suggestion of selling it and buying a 36v one. Too much scope for things to go wrong by swapping the controller.

BBS02, around 5,000 miles off the top of my head. Programmed for maximum power. Replaced controller early on, but that was due to Bafang supplying controllers with inferior MOSFETs. Should no longer be an issue. When I opened it up recently, the nylon gear was fine. Apart from a slightly noisy...

Yep!

Oh man, things can bite you when you're least expecting it :( I rushed out of the back door a few weeks ago, to collect the washing off the line when it started raining. Well, decking and water doesn't mix and I ended up sliding 5 feet and onto my arse. Ouch! Another time, I decided to ride...

Well, you couldn't ask for any better personal service than that Stapley13! David comes up trumps once again, top man :)

Yeah sorry my bad, the custom chainrings usually help with problems in lower gears. Must've had a brain fart lol. Not quite sure what you are on about with the torque though. The smaller the chainring on a BBS02, the greater the torque at the rear wheel in every gear. The hill climbing ability...

If the chainring is the original Bafang one that came with the kit, then you may need to purchase a custom chainring with more offset. The original on mine gave a poor chainline, so I fitted one of these...

I may be wrong, but it sounds like the dealer can't even be arsed to test and supply a working battery. Either kick up a stink or reject.

I suppose it depends on how long the battery has been empty. If it had recently been used down to the BMS cut-off, then it shouldn't be an issue. Charge up and use. If on the other hand it's been lying around the workshop unused, and allowed to drop over time to that level, then maybe not. I...

Check the fuse holder contacts are nice and clean. Any tarnishing can cause high resistance, overheating of the fuse and premature death, of the fuse that is :D Contact cleaner on a cotton bud should do the trick.

Maybe it's one of your knees :rolleyes:

All I can say is "WOW"

Naughty naughty soundwave, I'm sure our new member doesn't want to go whizzing round like his arse is on fire :rolleyes:

Nice bike, good brand, go for it :)

Bikes can develop noises in places where you think they are, but in actual fact are coming from elsewhere. For example, I had a creak sound, similar to yours, which I swore was coming from the headset. Turned out to be a loose seat clamp, which was transmitting the sound along the frame, to give...

I did giggle at the mention of dodgems in the article above :D

I propose that by 2020, all electric bikes must be able to fly to an altitude of 1000 feet, plus have at least one mounted Nerf gun, to deal with pesky dogs and pedestrians.

Exactly Dave. If this story is true, I can't believe some bureaucrats have actually contemplated this outlandish idea. Probably earning far more money than you and I, and quaffing endless supplies of tea and Hobnobs. Bureaucrats is probably the wrong term, European council members :rolleyes:
