    Inside the HL Downtube Battery

    Don't trust those cells! I wouldn't bring them into my apartment from the photo some look like they are a big problem just waiting to happen. Go to your insurance company and file a claim on the whole battery. You could also file a complaint with whoever is responsible for roads.

    How much power would i theoretically need?

    Please! Controllers are rated in volts - input, and Amps - output. Motors are rated in Watts. It is very important that you use the correct terms so that every one understands. The 500 W kit they sell seems to be a direct drive motor, not the same as your 250 W geared motor. Is the 21 A...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As a night worker I have often asked myself the same question when browsing the forum at 3 or 4 a.m.:)

    How much power would i theoretically need?

    Your controller is a 14 Amp controller, your motor is a 250 W nominative motor. The important part of any battery is the cells that are inside. If they are low Amp cells they will not be able to provide enough Amps to a 22 Amp controller. The only way that would be possible is to have very many...

    How much power would i theoretically need?

    Your controller would need to be a 48v one or a 36/48v one. You risk blowing a component in your 36v controller the motor isn't at risk. No your motor will be 250 W nominative as it is now. Controllers are rated in Amps not Watts.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yesterday there was a report on Arte news that I listened to with half an ear. There were men from Hull interviewed saying "We will be better off", "We make the best steel products in the world everything will be fine". And all the list of good things that will happen that were on the vote leave...

    Riding postion is it significantly important?

    All the details are here. I read a lot. I felt inside that this was for me and am not disappointed. I had been on a Gekko once in S. Sebastian and the AZUB is just as well built for 500€ less (delivered). No trial just a gut instinct that a company having won bent rider's "trike of the year"...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Was it given in French or English (sorry I don't watch French news often)? Being bilingual is an eye opener sometimes. "Lost in Translation" is quite often an understatement. Barnier is quite a level headed chap but maybe he is losing patience? I wonder why... :rolleyes:

    Schwalbe Marathon Plus

    At the moment I am running the Big Bens at 3.8 bar (55 psi) rear and 3.5 bar (50 psi) front on the trike and 3 bar (43 psi) on Number Two. I am lucky I guess in that I don't have any hawthorn hedges and few potholes on my regular routes, just a bit of broken glass and the usual bits of sharp...

    Remaining battery capacity - from volts or display?

    Must be luck of the draw, my LCD-3s are both spot on when it comes to voltage compared to the Watt meter voltage. I now rely on display voltage rather than LiPo alarms - more practical to have it there under your nose rather than relying on a beep from the depth of a pannier in heavy traffic...

    Remaining battery capacity - from volts or display?

    The best way is to use a Watt meter which shows mAh used. The second best way is experience. Your battery doesn't charge to 42v, why? Is it used? I have a used 10.4 Ah bottle battery which despite heavy use still charges to 41.5v.

    I asked a simple question. If you read offense into that simple question I pity you, you are as thin skinned as they come! Best not play on the internet if you find simple questions offensive.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OK so sell me a product or a service, whatever it is you do. I will use it and of course refuse to pay for it. The UK has signed obligations to pay monies for various things in the EU. There is no "divorce bill" it is just paying what is owed. You can disagree or offensive language all you...
