    Rotor locks for security

    Useless on something you can lift up and carry away. A frame lock is more convenient and lets you run a cable through street furniture.

    Battery Chargers

    Graphene, I gave up on Multistar too. Unfortunately (for me) there are 12 Ah 6S on sale at 50% off in the UK warehouse at the moment and I can't buy from there... 264 € for a 21 Ah battery...:(

    Derby to host the largest electric bike scheme in the U.K.

    I think the idea is "make it ugly enough nobody would want to steal it". And underneath something cheap from China?

    I'm bent!

    I modified my post which was ambiguous, sorry: I have decided on the GSM "mid"-drive ("out the front drive" in my case :D) for ease of build and better performance without hot-rodding. If I didn't have a Mxus on hand I would have probably gone for a Q100C, overvolted to 48 V and with 17 A...

    Government subsidize

    The cap is 5X the French one (200€) which is realistic especially for those on the market for a cargo bike to take the kids to school for example. The Babboe Curve Mountain would be 2925 € down from 3899€ which is quite a good alternative to a small car in a city with easy return on investment...

    Folding pedals

    I have done all the mounting of bits missing on the bike including toe clips on the pedals and now just need to go to the shipchandler in Hendaye (11 km ride planned for Monday) to get some black (fashion victim...) bungee cord to finish them off. My particular pedals lend themselves to using...

    I'm bent!

    As in my previous build I have been hum-ing and ha-ing about motor choice, that choice is now made. - the GSM unrestricted gets up to about 45 km/h with a 15 Amp controller and a 36 V battery (with a 28" wheel) - the Mxus is good for 27 km/h similarly equipped and 26" wheel - the trike is...

    Converting petrol pit/scramble bike to electric using same principle of e-bike

    What d8veh is trying to say is: "we don't do motorbikes here, only pedelecs" :) OK we stray into the odd s-pedelec or other high speed thang, but never ever motorbikes.

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    Don't get me started on shared paths! What annoys me the most is a local cycle path where there are always dozens of pedestrians, 4 abreast, (especially during holiday season) and an empty footpath beside it, the 2 being separated by a 1.5 metre plant bed...

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    A committee set up to look into cycling after one freak accident (and another old lady killed recently too I believe?) is not a good sign. Committees feel responsible and MUST come up with something to prove their worth and usually come up with ideas of unproven worth, or worse, ideas which have...

    Battery Chargers

    One of the reasons I use LiPo, 58 minutes to fully charge 10 Ah, under 2 hours (a continental lunch break) to charge 20 Ah.
