    Dawes Sonoran conversion - complete novice at ebikes

    Postage: when you create an account the price goes down, presumably because they then know where you want delivered to. Brake sensors: I agree with d8veh you don't need them with that controller and a hub motor, it switches off as soon as you stop pedaling. If you mount a throttle then you need...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    While we are on the EU and the car industry PSA is about to whittle down the Opel workforce in a bid to reach profitability. That is probably bad news for Vauxhall workers...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Which battery for a 350 mid drive?

    It doesn't say how many cells there are in Series and in parallel and which brand they are. Just taking a quick guess that if it was made of Samsung 22F cells it won't be up to the task. Never believe the constant Amps output on the spec sheet, they are almost always over optimistic. If you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is good news. The silly thing is that if fishing was restricted to periods and zones that don't harm reproduction cycle then quotas probably wouldn't be needed. Fishermen know when and where fish congregate to reproduce...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Everyone including the ecologists agree the quota system is wrong. The root problem in France and probably in the UK is that the public only eat very few species of fish and these species are under much stress. Fish that don't sell well are thrown overboard. On the other hand the Spanish eat...

    Which battery for a 350 mid drive?

    It depends on the cells inside we need to know how many of them and what type they are to give an opinion.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Over fishing and lack of fish killed your fishing industry as it did the French one.

    Skidding on leaves

    You could also grow up on a farm in NZ, best 379 hectare skid pad in the world where I grew up :rolleyes: Oh and "Houston, we have leaves!" Took a while but temperatures are finally down and leaves have started changing colour and falling off :eek:

    What do you think the president of Catalonia is running from? The judges have only started scratching the surface of corruption there.

    ebike law changes coming....

    Today for about $50 in added equipment we could have cars that know, thanks to GPS, that you have broken the speed limit in a particular location, send that information to the authorities who could then fine you and debit directly from your bank account. Before you got home... Lots of these...

    ebike law changes coming....

    You would have to detect that power was still being provided from the motor at speeds in excess of 25 km/h which seem pretty simple to do. For that to work the LCD/controller would have to have a GPS fitted to get around dongles fiddling with speed readings. A GPS module costs between $1 and $5...

    Are Amazon and E-Bay too big for HMRC to tackle.

    No I think it should be equal, like it works in Sweden for example.

    ebike law changes coming....

    Maybe the title should be "change of the law in Germany"? I can't see any changes here in France where we don't even have an s-pedelec class or in Spain where cycle paths are limited to 5, 10 or 15 km/h depending on the part of town you are in. In Germany they have wide uncluttered cycle paths...
