    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you had a competition 40 years ago (yes I have lived in Europe that long!) between bad wines from that region vs some regions on Spain and Italy it would be decided on a coin toss, tasting sessions would probably have killed the wine tasters! At that time there was a saying "Did you know that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Third behind Germany in 2015 and over 0.7% of gross national income as per UN recommendations. The US and Germany don't give 0.7%...

    Switched from SWXB to Q100H

    No, unless you have a controller which is set to speed control rather than power control? In the first case you are topping out on speed, in the second case assistance level 5 is 15 Amps, level 4 is 7.5 Amps and so on so you would feel the power doubling at each level change. It is hard to feel...

    Switched from SWXB to Q100H

    The problem with assistance is you get lazy... :oops: If you want to go far with a small battery you turn the assistance down to level 0 everywhere except when you are climbing the steepest hills. In that case you would need a battery capable of 6 miles :D Why level 0 and not off? Because in...

    E-bike rider insurance & e-bike insurance views are appreciated

    Battery life

    OK! So you have a BBS02 36v 500W version (25 Amp controller) and a 15 Ah 30Q celled battery, a marriage made in heaven! :D Option one: De-tune the motor controller to 18 Amps - your motor becomes the 350W version. Hot off the charger that is still 750 controller Watts and 648 W at nominal...

    How many of those miles are hills to climb? Correct, low rpm = high torque You need a controller (and somewhere to put it) An LCD A PAS sensor and disque A cutoff switch - use a HWBS on the rear brake wire It is going to be hard for us to calculate battery usage for a tandem because the all...

    Battery life

    You want about twice the power of the controller or more so in 5P that means 10 Amp continuous discharge. Real tested discharge, not always the one on the spec sheet...
