    Brexit, for once some facts.

    "Meaningful means meaningful" you can quote me on that one. Don't know what it means but it sounds serious!

    decathlon ebikes

    You sill want a hydraulic rim brake on the front and probably new tyres and tubes (some have Continentals as original mount). Pretty basic but they get the job done.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What I think it means is they are menacing to do something meaningful for the first time in quite a while. They wait a bit to see how the general public reacts and depending on reaction will have a meaningful vote or just go back to being meaningless. Well that' my take on it anyway...

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    They already exist, they are called electric mopeds. Some are very light weight too. As an extra bonus your motor can be up to 4 kW strong! Yes you have to have a number plate, insurance and wear a helmet. But you don't have to pedal.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Interesting math, do you have a Phd in economics? GNI means income before tax. I'll give you a clue, the secret is in the word "before". 5th isn't bad at all, much better than most but your last sentence is fake news...

    Basic Sans charger mods/adjustments.

    Batteries with cells charged to 4.15v need a BMS that balances to that voltage. There are no commercial e-bike batteries that have on, you have to use a Speedict or other smart, programable BMS to get that feature. Sorry I should have made that clear in my other post.

    no need for high cadence

    Yesterday I went for my second trike ride of the week - 60 km in the week. No motor so as soon as cadence starts going down I change down a gear, it keeps my knees and lungs happy not to mention heart rate. Yesterday evening I jumped on the pedelec to go to GF's place and... back EMF! I spin...

    Electric cars, motorbikes and boats

    I can see it working as a "premium" service but face it most people don't need this service. I was chatting with a mate yesterday about his neighbours Tesla. The guy told him as long as there is a charging slot in a Tesla supercharger station there is no problem - 30 minutes charge (the time for...

    Honda don't need the UK plant any more Japan has a trade deal with the EU. Must cost less to ship cars from Japan than to maintain a production plant in the UK.

    Basic Sans charger mods/adjustments.

    Sorry to insist but you really should be aiming for 41v, that is closer to 85% capacity than 40v. Look at that discharge curve I posted again.
