you should not make your own batteries, they are dangerous if not made correctly. You need a spot welding machine, PVC tubing, heat shrink machine, kapton tapes, silicon wires, high power soldering iron, solder, flux, cell holders, metal strips and load tester to make a safe battery. You also...

Don't worry about legal aspects for the time being. 99% of e-bikes you find in the shops are legal (look carefully, you'll find an EN15194 sticker on all of them). Buy one second hand off ebay or gumtree if money is tight. When you find one that you like, post a link here before you part with...

don't you watch Pointless? if you ask 100 people if today is Thursday, probably 10 are too drunk to know which day it is.

You have a long way to go before you need to know about registering a bike you build yourself. if you haven't got an e-bike, then start by trying some. It's difficult to discuss when you don't have much experience. Do this before you try to build a better mousetrap - you see the analogy. Your...

R5Live poll of 1000 voters: 61% agree that brexit referendum is advisory. 81% engage with politics, 12% voters fell out with friends and families. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04221ch

52% of the voters wanted control on immigration and that's not going to change. The un-informed voters do not make the distinction between the right to come and work here with right of abode. The EU may introduce some form of restriction on freedom of movement in the next treaty change but...

Have you tried to register your e-bike? it's possible but not easy. If you want to make just one for yourself, then fine, but start with a crank drive kit then add a front wheel kit to it. The crank drive has built-in PAS. You can drive the front kit with thumb throttle.

I think there is a good chance. It's a red line for the UK so concession will have to be made from both sides. If you compare the level of adoption of EU made regulations between Norway and the UK, the Norway model offers some flexibility.

I much prefer the Norway model with limited freedom of movement for the next 10-15 years than where we are at the moment and I don't think it's a con.

the bikee kit has not been discussed here. Jollydodger mentioned it alongside the Binova here: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/commute-road-bike-build-front-rear-hub-or-mid-drive.24399/#post-309046 I like it very much. It takes the simple architecture of Chinese crank drives like the...

the controller is from Lishui, 18A with Hall, integrated into the base of the battery cradle.

the SWX02 is nearly as powerful as the BPM.

if it comes with datalogging then yes, it's worth it.

employment figure shows continued improvement, Mrs May's first PMQ is re-assuring. The Pound gained 0.5 US cent this morning. I reckon the Pound will recover ever so slightly over the months ahead, so long article 50 is not triggered - possibly ending the year at around $1.35-$1.38. Bike prices...

Sure, the economy will rebound strongly at some stage after brexit. Mrs May has to shoot it in the foot first though. apparently, remain means remain for Scotland at today's PMQ.

you can run your fingers over the spokes and feel which ones are loosened. it's a common problem with all the rear motor wheels. Loosened spokes will break. You need to take care of your spokes, sort them out or get them sorted right away when you hear them creaking or rattling.

Prime Minister, here is the gun. You must shoot our economy with it. There are currently at least 8 cases in the High Courts against triggering article 50. the only way that article 50 can be triggered without parliament is by a new tory leader. Mrs May does not have to do this herself. The best...

brexiters don't believe parliament is on their side. The only way they can get it is by blackmailing Mrs May.

I should have told you that brexit changes the economic sentiment, the world thinks it's too risky where we are heading, no good will come out of it for a few years at least so they sell sterling and take their money out. So yes, brexit causes weakening of sterling. BP is quite weak at the...

the mess we are currently in spooked them a little bit. They will wait until Mrs May makes brexit a success before the NF make their move.
