    Hauling heavy loads in steep hills.

    I had an accident on my legal bike. The car drivers friend tested the bike brakes while I was incapacitated, The driver was subsequently prosecutied for there driving. My bill for expenses is about £13,000 so far. And with broken arm and subsequent arthritis I have had to change the type of...

    Battery DIY.

    20 amps from one cell, alarm, alarm. And if you did manage that a discharge time of 6 minutes would be a rather short range.

    Derestrict Yes or No ?

    Did someone call? If you get caught or are involved in an accident it could be real rat do do,s But the catch rate has been low/ virtually none. But some boring farts like me say if you want 30 mph and super range get a Honda plastic.

    Hauling heavy loads in steep hills.

    Nail head hit. If the manufacturer says 250 watts but it's 750 then you are ok. If you buy a 500 watt and relabel it, you are committing fraud and driving an un licensed,taxed or insured motor vehicle. In an accident you would be liable for all the costs and any damages on top of any criminal...

    How do you ride your Ebike for Max distance

    One other thing keep the cadence up around 70 to 90 then the motor in a mid drive stays in the efficient zone.

    I had two BH races. They allowed me to commute sweat free. I also increased my mileage and improved my fitness with my 4 mile commute sometimes getting up to 25 miles one way. The advantage is accelerating and hill climbing. These are much easier leaving you fresher for the flat. It upped my...

    How do you ride your Ebike for Max distance

    The most relaxed style that keeps you at 16 mph then it's your power not the battery. Keep the motor spinning for efficiency, if it is stalled then it's all heat and no drive.

    Let him look, if there was any issues he would likely say I have a bit that would fix that. He's nice that way.

    I could have cried, not for EddiePJ

    The crank moves on the fitting causing fretting ( little bits of metal flaking off) the damage gets worse and crank interface becomes loose and requires replacement.

    Hauling heavy loads in steep hills.

    As an innocent customer who buys a 250 watt marked legal motor in good faith. Unless you deliberately mod it there's no proof that it's not legal. And the tests are beyond your innocent skills so use away. The extra strain on the chain and drive system makes little difference to maintance...

    Hello

    Welcome, D8veh is referring to the motor in the new kalkhoffs, search for impulse drive issues. The old ones were highly recommended, the new ones get a warning ⚠️ But they can be OK.

    Perhaps we can let the issues lie now. There are good smartphones around but you don't have to have one. Both sides are happy with their choices. Further debate is pointless. Now have a nice new year everyone.

    0-15mph acceleration of 250W electric bicycle?

    As someone who was outside the arguments. All the bikes were quick up the hill. The difference was negligible unless you were after nago second differences. I say again all the legal bikes were good on a very steep hill short climb. No real difference unless you are into willy waving competition.

    Confused..530w Brose motor legal in the U.K.?

    The rating system is a test to prove that the motor can deliver its stated power continuously. It was to stop people over rating a small motor and calling it a super power job. It tests that the motor can deliver 250 watts continuously without overheating. It can peak at much higher values as...
