Welcome! 22% isn't a hill it is a ramp... Anything above 15% you are getting into mid-drive with correct gearing or 500W+ geared rear hub territory. The kit you mention isn't legal despite what they say. Not being able to switch is part of the law. Your current bike is fine it will need a...

1. Pensions are indexed on inflation in France 2. I live 11 km from the Spanish border and the minimum pension in Spain is 600€. Guess where my food, drink and nightlife come from... 3. With my medical history 20 years is a VERY long time, if I get 5 years of pension I will be above odds.

Where I live 1000€ a month is enough for a comfortable life. I will probably stop working nights at the end of 2019.

If there is easy access why not. The other solution being to take a Bosch battery appart and wire the BMS into a custom made battery.

Can't get more steam punk than that!

As I am getting near the age I have the numbers. I was self employed for quite some time and I am missing many quarterly points (revenue not high enough to earn points for example). So my pension at 67 will be about 600€ a month, including a white collar pension of 2.85€ a month... The state...

I know that Bosch have a 2 battery system, this is a "what if?" question: Can I cut the power lead from a Bosch battery, splice in a parallel connector and plug in a non Bosch 36v battery? Why? The idea is to go beyond the 1kW maximum on a cargo bike.

In France the absolute minimum state pension is 803.20€ a month. On top of that pension you can add a +200 € housing benefit so about 1000€ a month all told.

As I age I am wearing waterproof trousers more and more, they keep you so warm. In fact I wear them when walking too, much more convenient than an umbrella!

Ouch...

My premise is that weather isn't the main factor.

Ask them, the more recent version has them IIRC.

Tens of thousands of Dutch, Danish, ... ?

Wouldn't it be nice if real live cyclists were taken on board when these projects were conceived? I have many spots where I would like to stick the local mayors and their "cycle path expert" on an un powered bike and say "ride from here to there then report back". The EV1 has several spots...

15A / 4 = 3.75A or more than 50% of a 7A cells discharge, aiming for 33% or less is much easier on the cells and you won't sag as much on hills. Bigger power is always better, smaller weight is too so you have to find a compromise.

One word: infrastructure...

France is often criticized for having up to 10% unemployment, we don't have jobs without worker protection though. So the difference between 4% "full employment" and 10% unemployment has been identified in studies as the absence of those jobs that don't pay the minimum wage.

I spliced an XT30 plug into the main battery wires from the controller. That requires a battery with a switch in order to turn the lights off, I run with the lights on 24/24. https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/busch-mueller-lumotec-iq-cyo-t-for-e-bike-led-spotlight-503600 This light has a...
