One of the advantages of living near the Rioja is finding really nice wines at 18€ the 15 liter BIB... :rolleyes: Champagne (drinkable) is from about 14€ and up, 25€ are the better known brands but I prefer unknown names direct from the property at about 17-18€. But I prefer Blanquette de...

I just watched a video on vélomobile stopping distances (similar weight of vehicle to a pedelec): 18 meters for an experienced rider from 60 km/h on the flat. Cost him the left front tyre (Kojak) which wore through to the canvas...

The calcul for s-pedelec power varies from country to country Austria and Switzerland being the most generous. That may have something to do with the Alps? ;) The flatter countries allow 350 W, 450 W or 500 W nominative. In some countries throttles are allowed to 20 km/h and others to full speed...

If you dump 2 kW into a 250 W motor the nylon gears may get upset but you didn't mention using a 35 A controller and a 72v battery... :D

I had to change a part on a Miele dishwasher. Just a gasket developed a leak but I had to buy the whole plastic part (made in Poland) to replace it. I also had to change a drum assembly on my Samsung washing machine because one bearing was knackered...

PAS disk choice is C1.

Baigorri -> Erratzu could be fun, I am more of an on road person. We have friends who have a borda near Amaiur so I have a few rides planned around there. Definitely climbing up from here to Gorramakil next spring if I have enough batteries!

Meanwhile on 20th century bikes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hour_record_(recumbents) Note the absolute record with fairing is 92.432 km in one hour. Then there is the flying 200 meter record 115.5 km/h in 2012 for trisled. You can buy a similar vélomobile today for road use for 16,500 AUD...

Charge both up to the same voltage and connect them in parallel if you can carry both on the bike, you may get a nice surprise... I use my "tired" 10.4 Ah bottle battery in parallel with a "10 Ah" LiPo battery now.

Yes but Shimano are the good guys from Japan not the bad guys from China:D

Samsung 26F same problem as above. Today if I was having a battery built for me or building my own https://eu.nkon.nl/rechargeable/other/sanyo-ncr20700b-lithium-battery.html would be my choice. 15 A constant output AND >4000 mAh capacity make it worth the 5.85€.

I think that there could be different speed limits for e-bikes as there are for cars. In fact in the Spanish Basque Country there is exactly that - cycle paths are limited in many sections to 10 km/h, 5 where there are pedestrians. In Irun bicycles and cars are limited to 30 km/h on the street...

Bonjour Louise, I know you area well, I have walked it quite a bit and live just down the road in Saint Jean de Luz. Recently I have seen quite a few people on KTM and Haibike e-mountain bikes down your way. In St Jean de Luz/Ciboure you have M. Lapiz who will be able to let you test ride Giant...

Context is everything! I do what I am paid for even while having lots of time to be on the web.

I use my personal tablet at work never the company computer. And I only play games or look at tech sites and bike porn...

I think you answered your question. Twice! :)

I have taken to wearing a helmet as sun protection: cooler than a cap with more airflow over my bald old head. Unfortunately doesn't work as well on the trike because as you are lying down the entry vents are in the wrong place! So I only wear a helmet on hot sunny days on the upright and 98% of...

Adidas All Black official ones? Here they are made in Morocco, or my last one was.
