    Change UK law to allow 30mph ebikes

    s-pedelecs usually have daytime running lights, I use one on my pedelec and it does help signal to drivers that you are a fast bike.

    Kit list for my trike - Opinions appreciated

    You don't really need brake sensors with that controller it cuts power as soon as you stop pedalling. When you are maneuvering the trike it is best to select assistance level 0 because if you bump the pedal by accident it can take off, just make it a habit. What dropouts do you have? My AZUB...

    Use it or lose it.. an interesting read.

    Three and a half years ago I met my GF and warned her that my appartement was full of washing machine bits because the bearings had gone. Had to change the whole drum because the bearings are permanently press fitted and a special tool would have meant it was cheaper to change the washing...

    Battery advice wanted A123 pouch cells or 18650 cells

    The americans have dropped the A123 cells with the arrival of more powerful 18650 cells. I myself have used up a battery that wasn't fit for purpose in 18 months, it still works out cheaper than buying bus tickets! Now I use a battery that is capable of the output I need - it can be as simple as...

    Advice for a first build

    If you are a strong cyclist to begin with set the cut off to 25 km/h and use the motor for starting off and climbing hills, that will get you maximum range. If you want assist to 33-35 km/h a 36v Q100C rear motor with a 48v battery would be my choice too. Go for the 20A sine wave controller...

    Battery advice wanted A123 pouch cells or 18650 cells

    A 20 Ah 52v battery holds 1040 Wh (nominative). How long it lasts depends on how many Wh/km you are using. You are getting 25 km if I read correctly above so that is 41.6 Wh/km. If you do a search...

    Battery care and chainring size

    I agree but... it only has 6 gears and the Tourney freewheels don't have a fabulous gear range - OK for the flat and slight rolling hills. I under geared my 700C bike with a 42 and would rather have a 44 top gear much better than the stock 46 TBH and I guess I am in the pretty fit category of...

    Maybe the business model is have no stock or minimalist stock and sell man hours only. There is a guy around the corner who does that. He has specialised in fixing up the 50's and 60's bikes people have in their holiday homes here. He sells Brooks saddles and accessories and the hard to find...

    Where do you charge your battery?

    I guess they did inflate the space suit to make it look right. Or maybe Elon Musk put the body of one of his worst enemies in there :eek:
