    STVZO Lights (with lenses)

    I share the road with a guy who rides a long wheelbase cargo thingy and it is his only means of transport. He has a powerful fixed white light with non blinding beam on the front and another on his helmet. Two or three fixed red lights in the rear. He is much more visible in the pitch black...

    STVZO Lights (with lenses)

    They wouldn't be STVZO if they flashed, both French and German road codes require fixed (non flashing) lights on bicycles. Personally I don't find flashing lights to be a security feature, for me blinding, flashing over powered front white LEDs are a danger when I am behind the wheel of the...

    Battery repair, how daft is this?

    You now have a <15 Ah battery. Watch the battery voltage and watch sag on your LCD if you can. That will tell you if something is wrong.

    Rear view camera

    I am not a Luddite, I enjoy using tech, but having lost the bluetooth controller battle I prefer simpler tried and true solutions like rear view mirrors. A camera would work on a recumbent - trike, vélomobile, ... - because you can use a sun shield to shade the screen. Also the screen would be...

    Supernova light on Haibike Sduro Trekking 6.0

    I think we have a contender for thread hijack of 2019 ;) OP I can only look at supernova lights and dream - they are way above my pay bracket! b+m also have a high beam headlight coming out next month and that can be found for about 170€ on pre-order. With the 100+ saved I think I will buy the...

    Death of the derailleur?

    Life is bliss since I was introduced to the wonderful world of wide range cassettes.

    Surly Long Haul Disk Trucker Recent conversion

    Which derailleur was that? I am already pretty extreme - 48-36-26 and 11-40 but get away with it because I don't run big:big and little:little chainwheel/cassette combinations. I am looking for a better derailleur because the Alivio is pretty bad, RD-M592 SGS is on my short list. OP: With a...

    Looking for a mini 36v controller

    Found the thread :) Looking at the buttons I can see me mounting the screen almost horizontal to use them. The one that looks the same for the bafang motors has the on/off button well designed, it is on the top of the screen, I can see the KT on off button being pushed by mistake when trying...

    Kalkhoff retro fit possibilities?

    Oh look! They designed a motor with a hole in the top, I bet water can't get in there...

    Kalkhoff retro fit possibilities?

    That is what I was saying. 2 pieces of waterjet cut aluminium welded to a BB shell is not rocket science. Then a couple of bits of plastic to fill in the gaps. Will the battery work with another controller than the stock one is probably where the problem lies...

    Kalkhoff retro fit possibilities?

    A Bafang to Impulse adaptor kit would be a great market opportunity. Surely someone could design a bolt on adaptor for a BBS0x and have it CNC cut. It might not be extremely pretty but there is possibly a way of making something reasonably good looking with some kind of fairing (CF or 3D printed...

    KT LCD4 Bafang version.

    I ordered mine with the standard connector, it was an option on the product page. The cable is also 1.80m long instead of 23 cm which helps on a trike :)

    KT LCD4 Bafang version.

    You are right if you buy from their site elsewhere +100 €£$ whatever. They put me off when I asked about features for KT controllers and "the software wasn't finished". TopBikeKit Store KT LCD4 25.56€ delivered was cheapest I found on Aliexpress for those interested. Of course as it is new...

    KT LCD4 Bafang version.

    I think the KTLCD4 might be worth a go on the trike. I am only really interested in seeing the assistance level out of the corner of my eye because if I need to see speed and whatnot I can use the Bluetooth dongle to send to a device between my feet. I have tried it a couple of times and it is...

    Death of the derailleur?

    I managed to pick a few branches up in the derailleur on the trike last winter. One time I dropped the chain and pulled off the main road only to pick up a bunch of long grass and drop it a second time when going back on the road... Even that experience isn't enough to make me want to drop the...
