    Do any cadence sensored hub motor controllers activate pedal assist when ghost pedalling backwards as well as forwards?

    Let's say the signal wire is held high by a pull-up resistor. The hall sensor will switch to low when say a south facing magnet passes in the forward direction. It will also switch low when a north facing magnet passes in the opposite direction. That's why you have to flip the magnet disc when...

    Do any cadence sensored hub motor controllers activate pedal assist when ghost pedalling backwards as well as forwards?

    There are some controllers that don't seem to be able to differentiate between the forward and reverse pattern. You could adapt many by sticking reverse polarity magnets beween the normal ones, then you'd get the correct signal whichever way you pedalled unless you had a dual hall sensor...

    Do any cadence sensored hub motor controllers activate pedal assist when ghost pedalling backwards as well as forwards?

    Most pedal sensors only have one hall sensor. There are sensors with dual halls, but none of my bikes have one. Three wires are necessary for a single hall sensor to work: 5v and ground to power the sensor, and the signal wire to send the pulse.

    Warning; ebike batteries have short lives!

    You don't go by what things feel like. It's physics and there are equasions. In simple terms, your battery is 248wh. A typical Bosch battery is either 500wh or 600wh. Your one therefore has to give the same power from half as much battery, which means it has double the stress. QED.

    Other cooking processes allow the products of burnt fats to escape from the food. The most dangerous ones are in a mist, evaporating from the surface. Air fryers contain all these substances in the vicinity of the food and they cannot escape. Instead, they contaminate the food. You will see the...

    Warning; ebike batteries have short lives!

    Thanks for pointing all this out. It must be even worse for someone who bought the bike from an online seller and has no local dealer to do it. The battery is relatively small, so the cells get a much harder time than ones in a bigger battery, and therefore wouldn't last as long. Also, it looks...

    There is a clear mechanism of contamination. The products of burnt fats are kept in the vicinity of the food. They cannot escape, unlike other cooking processes. It's been known for a long time and advice has always been given to avoid consuming burnt fats.

    So the vicar normally does 112 funerals a year, and that year he only did 84, most of which were nothing do do with covid. How did you extrapolate from that that it was a catastrophic year for covid? He pointed out three memorable deaths. None of them were related to covid, but were probably...

    Warning; ebike batteries have short lives!

    Worst video I've ever seen for how to do something. There were no BB or forks in that frame. Do you have to remove them first? Every time I wanted to see something, the video cut and jumped forward to miss it.

    Does this exist?

    Weight is a significant characteristic needed to determine how much power you need, also, the type of hills you wish to climb. Without those two pieces of information, nobody can make a sensible recommendation for what would be suitable for you.

    Benelli e-Misano battery Qs.

    That's a very cheap BMS. I'm not convinced it does balancing. I bought a couple like that because I needed small ones. When I look inside, I can't see any balancing system. The pads where the resistors should be soldered are empty. In the listing, balancing isn't shown as one of its functions...

    I'm not sure that's true. the people who died of flu died of flu, but the rule for covid was anybody who died within 4 weeks of a positive covid test, when the test wasn't reliable and everybody who went into hospital was tested and many other people were tested every day, so when the got killed...

    Yes, I could fit a vacuum pump to it to suck the gas out through the central hole, but what if the pump sucked out more than gas?

    If it were more infective than flu, why did the same number of people catch it as would normally have caught flu? Actally, it must have been less infectious than flu because all the previously reported flu cases were people who actually had flu with symptoms, otherwise why would they have been...

    Gas is cheaper, easier to control and virtually zero maintenance cost. It also still works when there's a power cut. I've never experienced a gas cut in my lifetime.
