    Yose Power kit strange battery behaviour

    And you can get lucky... All of my stuff gives the same reading to within 0.0X v including my Turnigy Wattmeter and my LiPo alarms! So compare the reading of that Wattmeter with a known reliable value would be a great idea.

    chainset is 46 tooth likely to help compared with a 52

    A picture speaks louder than... Depending on your cadence you might get by with a 44 which would allow you to pedal downhill at up to and over 40 km/h. Unfortunately most easy to find 6 speed freewheels are 14-28 you would need to upgrade to a 7 speed to get better range. That would entail...

    Towing a Trailer

    And you can legally cross the unbroken white line like that in the UK? It gives me the willies seeing you riding on the wrong side of the road too... :eek:

    Towing a Trailer

    It is the best way of transporting stuff. If you want recommendations on a trailer to buy ask away.

    Cirrus Bodyfloat 2.1

    You must be kidding me! 3.5 times the price of the NCX for something that looks like it is going to be bouncy (bouncy is not good) and a pain in the neck to keep clean...

    Almost there.... New trike build approaching completion/

    That's OK I thought you must have made a new breakthrough or something, first doubles were mounted in 2014 :) I like your front derailleur mount, not pretty but gets the job done. I am going to mount a Sora front derailleur on a braise on mount and the extension to get it out there will be...

    Double chainwheels on bafangs have been around for a few years, since the first home made spider I guess.

    Eggrider V2 for Bafang BBS01 BBS02 BBSHD

    I think they may have a new customer... That looks about as close to a holy grail button set as any I have seen so far. 85€ :( swallow hard and bite the bullet I guess. Waiting on your test report.

    Please advise on best toque arm options please...

    My dream freewheel is a 13-40 7 speed but I could live with a 13-34. Using a 36-58 chainwheel :cool: gives a spin out speed of around 60 km/h in top gear which in my experience is plenty. The motor gives assistance to 27 km/h or so means being in 36:18 at cadence or 58:28, I am quite happy with...

    German e-bike market success

    Good man! Right, I'm having one of those! :) I will have to lengthen the wire to reach my handlebar though. Lets hope that it likes 49.8v as much as the b+m headlight does...:rolleyes:

    German e-bike market success

    I have quite a few "made in Germany" bits from your list on my pedelec. b+m lights are great (I have 6 or 7) but they aren't reparable which I think is a design flaw, if something isn't reparable it shouldn't be expensive... Can we have a link to the b+m horn please?

    Please advise on best toque arm options please...

    37 mm from the motor body to the axle nut on the motor and 40 mm stack height for the DNP Epoch 11-32 (or 11-34) 8 speed means it will need a 3.5 mm washer to stop it rubbing on the frame. In order to keep the wheel centered for the rim brakes you need to add another washer to the non drive...

    Please advise on best toque arm options please...

    That answers quite a few of my own questions, thanks. From what I know an 8 speed freewheel (DNP) will require about 142 mm dropouts - 135 mm hub + 2 x 3 mm thick washers to keep the hub centered, one on each side. So far I have been unable to convince them that there is a market for a wide...
