Hearing the noises the standard rear wheel makes under load I am starting to think it is a very good idea not to use the mxus wheel back there :eek: Does your Scorpion make those too?

You know that they are pretty rare? Best bet might be to order a new one from bmsbattery?

b+m ixon iq premium It has a very negative review on bike radar which made me scratch my head untill I saw he was using 2010 mAh batteries. I think that might be an issue, b+m recommend 2100 and I use 2500 mAh. Sitting about 32 cm above the ground and doing 60 km/h I have no problem picking...

I still can't see how a spherical reflector can make a flat beam. You would think they would put a hood on the top to stop light leaking up, even my flat beam b+m has one of those... I used my new one for the first time last night at speed (60+ km/h) and it performed perfectly, lighting the...

And were the babies born little Goths? :) I arrived in France from London in 1977. I decided it was probably better to drop the punk look which was attracting too much attention so I let my hair and beard grow, I called it my "back to the 60's" moment... :D

Airbus Industries is one of the best examples of EU cooperation. It saved many of the the UK's aircraft industry jobs. Does it have issues? Which multinational cooperation doesn't have issues? But the issues Airbus does have aren't the same ones Boeing has. Boeing is propped up by price inflated...

On a similar vein in another country it seems that Senor Pujol of Catalan political corruption fame may not have been the villain but simply the puppet of Senora Ferrusola Pujol...

I'll give it a try - I'm betting on the 5-10 W bracket but my bike is such a tank I can't guess what is weight and what is motor drag. I'm having fun moving between two completely different bikes - one that is a tank and another that as soon as it gets to the top of a slope takes off, I have...

No! Ireland is solidly attached to the EU so they will crash into you and the momentum will trip them up and over they will go over the top of you landing upside down in the middle of the Atlantic! Maybe you could give the lifeboat guys a day off that day? I mean you wouldn't want all those...

They didn't have this on the Swytch stand? It doesn't seem to have a brake on the front wheel so can't be used in France :rolleyes: Just like Brompton they have designed a bag I see.

SHAKEDOWN!!! When you need to do a shakedown where do you go? The cycle path from hell a.k.a. EuroVelo 1 :cool: If bits are going to fall off your new bike they will fall off there, especially after the heavy rain we had earlier in the month. At the moment some sections look like something...

I tinkered with mine, forgot the number, but my GSM is less noisy than with the default setting of 215.

Read this, it will put your fears to rest: https://etrike.wordpress.com/2016/07/22/electric-hub-motor-tuning/ now don't go getting any naughty ideas! :D Marc averages 10 Wh/km with his rig (54V @ 35 A peak).

I remember the worry in NZ when the UK, then our largest client, joined the EU. I think there was even a special NZ clause in the deal. It pushed NZ agriculture to look for new clients, ever tried selling lamb to the Japanese? :eek:

I have invested in a new battery powered light for the trike. I liked the previous b+m 40 lux battery light I had bought for the first bike so I got the premium 80 lux model and boy does it throw out some light! 40 lux works fine on my upright up to about 50 km/h 80 lux... I certify that...

The only advantage I see to 18650 is weight* at about 2/3 of the equivalent energy density in LiPo. Advantage to LiPo is charging time of about 1 hour at 1C and you can charge off grid more easily which may not be important where you live but I have a place to go to off grid :cool: It is...

Imagine with me a moment: Put a Q100H in the rear wheel, a HL battery with internal controller and you would have exactly 2 wires one of which would follow the gear wires up to the handlebars. If you pay attention to detail and if you go the extra way to drilling the frame and running the...

I am at about 2000 km on my GSM. Almost all of the problems were with the internal controller so I chose the external controller for that reason and: - I have more choice available - 15, 17, 20 Amps... - I can choose voltage too and will go to 44.4 V 12S for more speed The S06SC is a great...

DIY folk are the pioneers - look at the history of aviation, cars... We will always be the odd ones out. I saw a conversion the other day, the first I have seen in about 18 months! The e-bike is now mainstream after being a niche market for many years and it won't be long before more e-bikes...

Do you have quick release hubs?
