Some thoughts about this type of lock (I bought 2 bikes that came with those locks fitted, I removed both and used a good cable lock instead). https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/rear-wheel-lock.40996/

Thanks for the info, good to know there are options to move these from being illegal to use in public. I still think anything this small and restricted on a public road is an accident waitng to happen - hope I'm wrong. So after a MVSA test is this classed as a motorcycle? Will it need number...

I passed my car test many years ago (pre-cameras etc), advice from my driving instructor was that it was ok to break the speed limit briefly when overtaking as driving on the wrong side of the road was dangerous and safest way was to get past and back to "your" side of the road asap. Try arguing...

I found good forks at great prices at Bankrupt Bike Parts, more info https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/front-suspension-for-my-ebike.40015/post-594769

I did something similar by fitting a rear-hub kit to a new 29er, more info https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/yose-350-rear-hub-kit-transplanted-onto-scott.40186/ Fitting the kit was easy but as most of the wires on my bike run inside the frame it was difficult to find a tidy way to add...

For info ... I just tried swapping casings between a pair of Yose 350w rear motors (to put a cassette fitting onto a motor that had a freewheel fitting), the motors look identical but stepped machining on the axles make it impossible to swap parts. Why did I want to swap the internals? My...

I used an old rack-mount frame and cut a slot in the top "deck", then bolted a downtube battery to the bottom deck. A set of panniers on top hides it very nicely. More info https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/yose-350-rear-hub-kit-onto-spanish-mtb-by-mondraker.37899/

I'd agree changing the rules won't have much effect, better enforcement of existing laws and a major change in attitude by most road users would give a much better result but I don't see a way to achieve it. The problem isn't caused by a single group; we have impatient and poorly trained...

Educational link, thanks for the update. I find it interesting to compare road manners in different countries I'm familar with : Denmark - cyclist have right of way at junctions (it sounds great but the reality is cyclist don't bother to look or indicate knowing the car driver will be found...

Since you mentioned bodging ... are you ok with basic metalwork ? At the rear, use as-is if your frame has mounting holes, or can you fabricate a bracket (with oval hole to fit over the axle) for the rack to mount to. Not the best photo but see the white brakets on mine...

First impressions are I love the way the re-rimmed 700 rear wheel matches the original front. I’m particularly happy that the rear hub motor with single cross spoke pattern matches the original front with 3 cross pattern :) I’m still deciding about the power, more trips needed...

Just a quick update as I’ve finally managed to get a 700C rim & spokes from the UK. The tyres still need sorting but it now has a pair of matched 29er wheels :):)

There are a few discusions about speed / current controllers if you use Search at the top of the page, eg https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/lishui-controller-and-lcd-vs-kt-controller-and-lcd.36444/ Both types work and I was happy with the Yose kit for about a year on my first E-bike...

I was using a Yose 350w kit last year with the downtube battery mounted on the rear rack - I found it fine, stable, the power is useful but there won't be any wild uncontrollable wheelies. I tried another bike with a pannier rack battery and found it handled terrible, the difference was that...

Putting this here rather than start another scooter thread https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-57874409 A 16 year old boy was killed in a hit and run crash. The car drove off, driver was later arrested and found to be over the drink/drive limit Police are trying to find the scooter...

I have 2 sets of their 700x38 slicks in the post, not quite as wide as I'd like but I have similar size on already and they're fine for on my usual B-road / gravel track routes. They have limited colours in 700C/29'er https://curiouk.com/collections/700c-road-tyres I don't have any 27.5 bikes...

Hi Ste, I fitted a 350W Yose kit last year (my first kit) and like it a lot. My main dislike was the operation, very "full acceleration then a sharp cutoff when it hits the speed limit" which is typical of "Speed-controlled" systems. I've now swapped the controller & display for...

I've been very happy with Curio tyres for gravel tracks & B-roads, no punctures since I fitted them 12 month / 1500Kms ago. Noticably harder than the supersoft knobblies they replaced but the large volume gives a comfortable ride. Bonus is they're super cheap and come in a mix of sizes and fun...

Beware of shipping anything from UK to Europe . Since Brexit this is classed as "Importing in EU" and needs all kinds of paperwork, I'm in Southern Europe and had a parcel of personal goods - not commercial - sent from UK on June 18, it arrived at my national depot a week later and is still...
