    Researching trike conversion

    You've lost us... A geared hub motor is better than a direct drive one. How much do 4 small car batteries cost? Because you will need to replace them often, they can't do deep discharge...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you own property... If you are in the other 35.7% of the population you pay that indirectly via rent to your landlord.

    Tongsheng 48v 750w versions

    In this case it is the retailler and (s)he is not allowed to either. Quite frankly I think that 700-800 W peak is plenty on a road bike, that is what the GSM puts out with a 44.4v battery and a 15A controller. I am 80 kg (off season weight :( ) and that is enough for 45 km/h on the flat. I...

    Hain and cassette life

    I am at about 2500 km on the Wippermann chain on Number Two. It jumped last week during a bumpy gear change, the advantage of the GSM chainline is that it always jumps from the outer to the inner chainring. Think it might need some chain juice again (third time)...

    Cube Cross Hybrid Pro Allroad 400

    Yesterday I saw a CROSS HYBRID ONE Allroad 400 in the wild. Damned nice piece of industrial design.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is no "extra" bedroom tax in France... In fact housing tax is being totally phased out for low income earners.

    Tongsheng 48v 750w versions

    That is correct: The Bafang 36V 250-500W BBS02 Ebike Kit with ebike battery pack option We no longer have any kits marked as 250W, but we can provide 250W labels. So, you can have the more powerful and robust 500W kit, and have it detuned to 250W or 350W power levels, as you require. Or run...

    Singapore: Wonderful climate, great contemporary architecture, crappy lifestyle for non millionaires. Do you have any non millionaires in the UK?...:rolleyes:

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My Dutch cheese comes from the Netherlands with friends and it has a bite. I think you may be referring to Brittany not France then ;) The breads like that can be found in the Aveyron or the Lot.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just when I was beginning to warm to you... FAKE NEWS folk! Both are very easy to come by it just depends on your part of France I guess. A special Royal Tent will be erected for her in the Calais migrant jungle where she must come on holiday for at least two weeks every February in order to...

    Gearing enquiry

    Yes your analysis is correct, there needs to be about 1 mm max with the KT PAS, at least the ones I have. My PAS disk mod has a gap of less than 1 mm, I was scared I was going to rub the plastic off the sensor it is so close :) Bafang make a speed sensor for the BBS0x that works with about an...

    Researching trike conversion

    The pictures keep getting better! :) So you do have two drive shafts. Concerning the total load I would suggest a 48 v Bafang BPM kit (from Woosh for example). You have the space, you just need to fabricate a bracket. Chainline will become an issue if the chain becomes too short...

    Researching trike conversion

    I saw the second thread after I posted... :oops: It looks like you might be able to install a samagaga.com differential (the site isn't responding for me so no photo). Then as d8veh suggested a geared hub with cassette gears further forward in the other dropouts. These people make cogs to bolt...

    Wireless battery charging for e-Bikes

    I'll have to look at how the docks in San Sebastian work next time I am there. I am guessing mechanical related to the locking mechanism.

    Organising salvaged cells in a DIY battery

    From what I have read about making parallel strings it is best that all the cells are of similar resistance, that way all the cells in the same parallel string charge to 4.2v at the same time and stay balanced. OK do you have 35 cells of identical capacity? Make a 5P7S battery from them. Maybe...

    Researching trike conversion

    20" wheels? No diff? Are both wheels driven (can't see on that photo)? There are single sided wheel chair motors. Otherwise you need a motor somewhere in the drive train, mid-drive might be a little low slung.
