    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Did you read the document? If so either you didn't understand it or you are a troll. The readjustment is required because the UK is leaving, for example: 5. Proposes that a new distribution of seats in Parliament should immediately apply once there is legal certainty and the United Kingdom’s...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We are in fuzzy feel good season, the documentary didn't touch on that aspect. But as flecc said, here, if you break the rules you are chucked out. Macron has said that the financial immigrants should not be plugging up the refugee/asylum system and he wants them out. More free flights back to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The city of Toulouse has a program to get people out of tents and into social housing. There are three criteria to fulfil: respect the housing you are given, sign up for language lessons/put kids in school and actively search for a job. They have managed to close down two sites occupied largely...

    Real Life Range

    On my current ride it is where I work the hardest! Slowly pedaling up the next hill is where I rest... I have a goal, in life you have to have ambition! Under the seat of my trike I want a battery that provides about 3.5 kWh (4 x 44.4v 21 Ah). I figure that using 10 Wh/km I can get about 250...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The seeds of the fruit we are now harvesting were sown by Reagan and Thatcher. When capitalism remained capitalism before it became unbridled capitalism you bought your houses at decent prices despite high interest rates. Now there are no interest rates and speculation primes over investment...

    Using Lipo batteries for an Ebike?

    I use LiPo still but am eyeing up a 20700 Li-Ion solution for easier charging, good capacity, high Amp output and better availability. I find LiPo easier to charge because it takes so little time with the right charger - less than an hour. LiPo is a good solution price wise if you can find the...

    approx multimeter reading of battery when only 25% left

    I think you might find now that at 25% the battery sags so badly on your last hill you may need to have 33% in "reserve". I only use my 10.4 Ah bottle in parallel with another battery now or when I want to go to the supermarket on the flat.

    A random thread for things too unimportant for their own thread...

    We were doing it on purpose, missing the point I mean :) My technical clothes come from decathlon and after a spin dry at 1200 rpm need about 15 minutes to dry. My brother's merino and possum socks (the ones he makes) get washed when I think they might be a little smelly but that can be days in...

    Mechanical disk or hydraulic disk for fast bike

    Twin SA 90mm hub brakes on my new ride. I was a little worried about them at first but they are fine on 24% downhills :D More expensive trikes have hydraulic disks but the fastest pedal powered rides on earth (vélomobiles) mostly use the SA hub. I have learnt that on each ride you need to brake...

    KWhrs to charge a 36v 17ah battery

    My LiPo setup is 18v x 24 A on the power supply side and 1 x 10 A on each of the the chargers so I guess the efficiency is 83.33% with a 2 A loss per charger.

    The wheels are the wrong way around! For a delta trike to work you need to increase the wheelbase.
