SPD pedals? You should be able to spin to 120 rpm (70 km/h). On an upright aerodynamics are a bigger issue than spinning out surely? I have never been able to go beyond 67 km/h on an upright and I wasn't pedalling at the time. I think if I was going to mount a BBSHD on the trike I would have a...

I lived in London for 8 months in the mid 70's, thank god for Chinese, Indian and Iranian restaurants! At that time the UK was as far from being a foodie nation as one could be. Yes I did know a couple of places that had really good ploughman's at lunch time and a couple of good fish and chip...

A LiPo charger can charge many other different chemistry batteries including SLA which MUST BE CHARGED AT 0.1C If you try to charge it faster bad things will happen...

On amazon the 31.6 mm diameter one is advertised in 350 and 400 mm lengths. https://www.amazon.com/Suntour-SP12-NCX-Mountain-Suspension-Seatpost/dp/B01BIX1XLW

I ride regularly on sand covered roads and the beach is a 2 minute walk from home. I have no corrosion issues to speak of, maybe some that are hidden away inside? My GF lives a little further from the water and her bike rusts in the shed! I mounted SKS mudguards on both our bikes the same week...

I find they leave me a lot more space - probably because they think I have a handicap of some sort. English roads are probably not fit for purpose when it comes to cycling they are so narrow compared to the ones here. Most roads have a hard shoulder plenty wide enough for a trike, the narrow...

So you have a 35 A controller which you have turned down to 26 A? Of course if you turn down the maximum current on the controller you might think you should get more range from the battery. But... The important number is the Wh/km you use. If you pedal hard you use less Wh/km and so get more...

As a young man I used to ride drop bars and even now I think there are lots of places I would be able to ride an e-road bike over the 25 km/h cut off despite the weight difference. The position is aerodynamically better than a flat bar bike but at my age I doubt my back and neck would let me...

Governments are sovereign, the mafia is an Italian problem not a EU one. There are EU anti-corruption directives but they have to be applied into national law. The EU can fine Italy if it has concrete proof as in the case of HMRC not applying duty to imported Chinese goods.

The Samsung is designed for long life and so has a low discharge rate of 2.75 A and 8.75 peak and in 5P it is a 12.5 Ah battery in reality. The LG is a 5.2 A continuous discharge cell with a 10 A peak so won't sag as much on the hills. Put http://enerprof.de on your list, they make high...

The Samsung cells are low discharge but the LG ones are 10A.

Why would an "Iraqi “Manchild” refugee terrorist" want to come to the UK? Which country has been stiring up trouble in Iraq for generations (a century at least)? So now we have scores of highly trained killers parked in Calais just waiting on an occasion to invade England and wreak havoc and...

Have a look at the GSM without controller from Woosh - add a 17A KT sine wave controller and a 48v battery you will climb anything with ease. If you aren't concerned with higher top speeds a 38 tooth chainring and wide ratio 11-40 cassette setup will provide climbing speeds at near the legal...

If you want 35 km/h the Active line will be fine on your flat roads. I prefer the larger chainwheel which should mean less wear and if it is quieter... More torque is good for sprinting away from the lights faster when they go green.

Despite a theoretically correct DNA I am allergic to bagpipes... :confused: Can't whistle and don't get me started on yodeling :eek: Now that music from the 60's is rights free (in France under French law) the local supermarket plays Jimi Hendrix and The Doors :) that makes shopping a pleasure!

+1 :)

A trike is easy: you are on the ground underneath it, how do you get it off? :D Yes I have tested personally...

I really like that build (not so keen on the colour) but I don't have a 3D printer (yet) to print a controller extension box to keep the plugs out of the rain. All ideas welcome: For the moment I think I am going to have the controller in a box, on the boom just behind the motor and a largish...
