    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's difficult to find a way forward without leaving. We need to prove to ourselves that we don't do very well on our own outside the EU. Most of us suspect that we won't but we still need some sort of proof. The latter could well be membership of NAFTA. If we could somehow negotiate a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mrs Merkel was talking about benefits, not the freedom of movement itself, which is the right for EU citizens to come here and look for work. The UK is particularly more generous with welfare and in-work benefits than any other EU country. In Germany, you have to work for 5 years before you can...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    nobody hijacks this thread. There are fewer brexiters than remainers, that's all. Do you still have to ask yourself why our government still has no plan? the truth is brexiters won the vote and not the argument.

    I agree totally. LED panels work in rain, LCDs just fog up and you don't see that well even with backlighting on.

    250W? that what you get when you run the bike in test mode. 250W mechanical + 10% allowance for road friction = 275W mechanical allowed at constant temperature (25 degrees Celsius). You only have to ride the bike slowly to avoid overheating and never go over 15mph on a flat road.

    that's easy to calculate. Maximum current * battery voltage * motor efficiency. Maximum current: 20A. Maximum voltage: that depends on the state of charge of your battery. On a freshly charged battery, you have 41.5V, the voltage sag at 20A is about 1.5V, so maximum voltage is 40V for a full...

    which kit

    oh they work, I have them as well on prototypes, but not on production runs because they are not as well built as Lishui controllers. Lishui controllers are housed in larger casings, the crimp connectors, bolts, nuts and rubber gasket are also of better quality. KT pack a lot of features into...

    no, that the PAS or pedal assist sensor. It's potted in resin, pretty waterproofed. Still, put some grease where the cable comes out of the PAS, I often find that the sheathing there can get pulled back, that can let water in. If your bike has and external speed sensor, you'll see a magnet...

    it seems to me too that the controller could be the cause. Do you cover your LCD? Make sure that the LCD and speed sensor (if you have one) do not get soaked by rain water.

    let's wait for Cyclotricity to fix your bike. Riding 30 miles a day in all weather is a big ask. The bike needs to be kept dry as much as possible. Do you have sheltered parking for your bike at work and at home? Also, tow paths and unmade roads are a killer for downtube round bottle batteries...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    all they try to do is damage limitation. it seems that most members of the cabinet, the parliament and the general voters are either reluctant remainers or reluctant brexiters.

    which kit

    no, it's not entirely based on that video. I have been looking for ways of increasing torque without having to carry the weight of the BPM. The Xiongda XD was promising but Xiongda could only make it work with the flimsy KT controller then. I gave up on the XD after a few months and looked into...

    which kit

    I was about to, in February, when this video was posted on ES about the 100SX: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=76346 That got me start digging into the clutch. I thought I posted something about a spring that came off the clutch last year.

    which kit

    That's the thing. cwah did not get 5,000 or 10,000 miles out of his bikes, he killed them well before that. If you take a bike like the Karoo or the Bermuda with Bafang motors, they'll go well over 5,000 miles. Woosh bought 10 clutch units for Bafang SWXes back in 2011. They still have a couple...

    Bafang 8fun CD 36v or 48v ?

    I am all for freedom of information. Woosh supply you with a socket and an unplugged throttle with a notice that says woosh cannot plug it in but you can.
