Top speed on the KT is 72 km/h all controllers (3) I have received were set to that by default.

You just need to swap out the LA battery for a few HL batteries wired in parallel, you should be able to fit 6 x HL batteries in the space used by one LA. I have run the numbers on a Twizzy vs a home made e-vélomobile and it costs over twice as much (2.3 times) per month and covers half the...

I am now dreaming of a Rohloff with a 13 tooth cog and 32-48 on the front. That gives a range from 17 to 140 gear inches :rolleyes: Not very useful on a commuter but on a touring recumbent trike... :)

I have a roll of cut to length velcro tape (like a cellotape distributor). Holds wires on frame too.

+100€ more for lights, mudguards and rack which is about what you would pay for quality add on equipment (tubus, SKS, Spanninga...). 1999€ - 200€ govt rebate = 1799€ that is 77.25€ x 24 months at current interest rates for a personal loan. I wish they had a "woman's" frame, there is no...

1. It is a bad idea trying to solve a problem which doesn't exist. OK so Denmark and the Netherlands are not exactly tiny niche markets but I don't see having a chain being a problem there. 2. It will not work where I live. As soon as you leave town you have 14% inclines that are over 1 km long...

The battle has been lost... http://www.idealeurope.pl/ the Chinese will open factories where ever they need to get around tariffs.

http://www.magura.com/en/components/bike/multiuse/productdetailpage/?p=2633 I have this on the front and have done about 5000 km on the original blocks. They are lighter than disks and up to the task (bike + rider + trailer of shopping = >120 kg) in the Basque Country.

A professional racer produces 400 W an ordinary mortal 100-160 W tops.

They use Chinese motors and batteries (and tyres and gears and...) but they are assembled to EU made frames in the EU. Bafang even prints "B'Twin" on the LCD case, isn't that nice of them? :) I have a KT LCD-3 with Cyclotek screen printed on it!

Too much energy loss, a derailleur is 98% efficient this will never be close to that. Great for Copenhagen and Amsterdam useless in the Alps.

The EU manufacturers will have to come up to the plate and offer a range of bikes at prices people from different income brackets can afford. Decathlon has been trying and so has Intersport - I think they may be the lobbyists behind this call for tarifs.

Was that EU rice grown in the Valencia region, Camargue or the Po valley? I don't think you grow round grain rice in the UK?... :rolleyes:

That is a very good battery for a KT 15 A sine wave controller and the 18 A BBS01 controller used at moderate assistance levels with the occasional burst at max assistance. Cell info: http://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Samsung%20INR18650-29E%202900mAh%20%28Blue%29%20UK.html

When they had a referendum to decide if there should be a referendum only 41% (highest % given by the Catalan government others sa as low as 30%) of the population thought it was worth while participating. Compare that to the Scottish vote... Catalonia existed as a medieval state until the 18th...

Open the doors quickly and profit while you can because Trump has decided to wipe Korea and Japan off the face of the earth. He wants his name in the history books and the easy way is nuclear war in North Korea. Unfortunately that also takes out Japan and South Korea as unfortunate colateral...

My only conclusion is that there must be something stored in the LCD, that is the only way this makes sense. When I unplugged my LCD-3 from one controller and plugged into another it still showed the same number of total km so there is some kind of memory in those. Maybe the Bafang LCD has non...

Where are the settings stored, in the controller or in the LCD?

Will it be as fun to ride at 15 mph, it is a heavy bike? Will they swap out the controller for a lower powered one? Is the battery 48 V peak? Or are they just providing a sticker that says it is a 250 W EN15194 compliant bike? This is a moped in Spain and will be a moped in the rest of the EU...
