Walking across town yesterday I did some informal statistics on people with yellow high vis jackets behind their windscreen and was surprised by the number of Mercedes Benz. Worrying about MPG and the cost of fuel isn't something you associate with buyers of Mercedes... Voting for Marine Le Pen...

Eastern Pyrenees I see, I am on the wet end :)

Marine Le Pen didn't win the elections so the 25% who voted for her are out in the street making trouble because tax on diesel went up (on parity with tax on petrol). The French are always out in the street complaining about something, it isn't civil unrest just a way of life :D

30Q is a 15 Amp discharge cell or about twice what you have now. 5 x 15 A = 75 A peak discharge so at 25 Amp controller pull you will be using 1/3 of that capacity or .33C. It should be a night and day difference. Cost wise there is a 1 € difference in price between the two cells so 50 € when...

Or you could just stop using the higher assistance levels. Faced with a similar problem I down-tuned my controller to 11 Amps max. I could still climb hills, just slower. With the GSM when I get down on battery volts I use lower gears.

Your battery has 2900 mAh cells which means if you bought a Samsung celled battery they will be 29E cells. These are rated for 8.25 Amps discharge but that is their peak discharge and they deliver much less during continuous discharge. In conclusion your are experiencing battery sag, that motor...

We now have further information: Boffins in white coats have concluded that tinfoil hats are sufficient in event of attacks from space. Tinfoil hats will be distributed to the population. And for all you DIY folk out there open source plans for making your own tinfoil hat will be published to...

There is a good reason to buy a BBS02! Just needs to be modified for trike bars...

Did you see the French are starting to say "Hey! We haven't asked for Guernsey and Jersey back since 1825, now might be the time to have another go." :)

Now the cat is out of the bag! :D

I have three sons. I have repaired a lot of punctures since the ones I got as a kid. I tried showing them hoping that they would take it up as some kind of challenge. No luck on that front... :(

I had the feeling your second reason might be the right answer... I think she is desperate to get French residency before next March. Anyone can say they are auto-entrepreneur and that they are waiting for their inscription number and the papers and tada-tada. Faux factures (false bills if you...

One day I had pulled over to look at the indexing on the trike, I was having trouble with a couple of gears. A roady who had been following me pulled up to help/chat. I mentioned that I was going to put on an electric assist and apparently he didn't hear all of it (traffic): "Oh it's got a...

I went to change the address on my ID card at the prefecture this morning. An English lady was next to me and trying to get a resident card, it went something like this: Bureaucrat - you need to give us a bank statement to prove you have enough money to live in France Lady - but I am self...

I prefer balloon tyres for the comfort and, on the trike, stopping performance. All my tyres at the moment are Big Bens. Heads up on the Plus version - some have had sidewall splitting on that version. I will go tubeless when a decent 20" tubeless tyre comes to the market. I have not had a...

I am another who has thought about the bracket thing - I want a 48v motor for a cargo trike and my own choice of battery. The easy way is to go to a top end welding shop and have them cut the Bosch bracket out and weld the Bafang one in. My second idea being that as cargo trikes are not high...

I have one similar to this Shows: - Watts Peak - Amps peak - mAh used - Wh used As well as battery voltage, running time and real time Amps and Watts
