    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    tommie / Profile page / postings There is some borderline stuff in there IMVHO, which is unfortunate because when you stick to writing about bikes you are often very interesting. PS I fixed the spelling mistake, thanks for pointing it out.

    will the lcd 3 work with 48v? and 48v with yose/elife shop 350w moter

    1 x 3S (10.8v) + 1 x 10S (36v) = 13S (48v) all voltages nominative , peak voltage 54.6v They can be LiPo, in that case you need a LiPo charger. Or you could weld up a booster pack from 18650 cells in which case you would need a 12.6v 2A charger.

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    Forum software I once used allowed blocking of chosen forums to non logged in visitors, that covers the legal aspect because a private forum can allow anything which does not break the law. I have read some mudslinging in the brexit thread, some bullying by a respected forum member with me on...

    Opinions and suggestions

    The "premium" has the same needle bearings as the Alfine and the "regular" has common old bushings IIRC. The Alfine has a disk brake mount whereas the nexus is either rim or roller brake (a German guy does make disk mountings for the nexus).

    Opinions and suggestions

    Careful there are two versions of the nexus 8, one is the same as the Alfine 8 inside but without the disk brake mounting it is the "premium" version.

    ebiking in torrential rain /what mode throttle/pas or no assist?

    KT LCD is pretty much watertight. The ones with a button battery in them less so. You throttle isn't going to be watertight. PAS is submersible from what I have seen, I don't know if the capter is potted but being placed where it is it needs to be very water resistant even if it isn't raining...

    Bottom Bearing Spindle Length

    If you can try and buy a BB with metal locking collar. If ever you need to remove the BB later it is much easier, the last plastic one I tried removing fell to pieces and I had a great deal of trouble removing the BB.

    Commuting to work on ebike in London

    I am a bike bit scavenger but I limit my finds to bikes parked next to bins... A couple of years back I was very tempted by stuff from a high end bike (Specialized or Cannondale?) that a rich tourist had parked, locked and forgotten on the beach walk. I managed to not take anything and it was...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    TM said that it was an NI affair and she couldn't get involved. Apparently Scotland voting against brexit isn't a Scottish affair and so she is getting involved. The mysteries of "devolved" politics in the not so united UK...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    I think the trike will be getting an illegal throttle at some point because in San Sebastian the cycle paths are limited to 5 km/h in many place in the centre of town where there are shared bits with pedestrians. A 6 km limited throttle (but full power) would be quite handy there because as soon...
