I just bought a new, expensive bike. The frame is guaranteed for 7 years but I calculated costs on the basis of 5 years of use, it comes to 0.09 € / km or 76 € / month based on 2,000 km / year. I do about 3000 km in reality but now that I have 2 bikes I think I will probably do 1/3 - 2/3...

Yes. You can build one.

Bingo! You have caught on. The responsibility to be seen is put squarely on the shoulders of the cyclist. It should be the responsibility of the driver to be in perfect control of an instrument of death - cars kill pedestrians, cars kill cyclists, cars kill other car drivers and passengers...

Every country contributes! Some get more back than they contribute but never more than their share of the running costs of the EU. The surplus is the common agricultural policy payoffs, including to very rich English landowners, and investment in infrastructure in under developed regions. That...

It has been said here that the EU needs the UK's money or it will go bust. The amount missing works out to about 363 million € per country. Does that sound like a lot when compared to a countries budget? I think that the larger economies can find an extra billion € to keep the budget afloat...

Touching wood... The worst I have had is a pulled PAS plug after falling over.

The waterproof connectors I have on the 09 battery bottle controller and the only way you can bend the pins is to keep plugging and unplugging the controller. In principle you plug the bits into the controller once and it is done. We all agree that kits with controllers in the battery that are...

Having a gander at the KT web site after having downloaded the bluetooth software and firing it up (damned good software!) I come away perplexed. They make controllers with waterproof connectors, why isn't anyone selling those? They make them in red and black as well as silver, ditto? So I have...

Deposit = the cost of the battery new + fee for recovery in case the client doesn't come back. If the clients credit card refuses the deposit for insufficient funds then no rental. Otherwise as d8veh said you are on the road to ruin. Think also about the stock of charged batteries you would...

I bet he was just scrolling down on his phone, I have a couple of those.

For 20" yes the high rpm one. I have almost decided on the Q100C to keep the weight down, I feel it is sufficient to climb within the legal limit with a 26" wheel. I am going to be using a Patterson Metropolis drive and the Sunrace 11-40 8 speed cassette so an interesting range of gear inches...

Method for XT90 and XT60 (using d8veh's steps for preparing the wire): Strip a couple of mm of insulation off the wire Hold the iron's tip against the bare wire for a few secs, then add the solder. At no time should you remove the tip from the wire during the whole process. You don't wave it...

An electric version of this would pique my interest :) http://steampunktendencies.tumblr.com/post/149643469349/urban-motors-jawa-sprint-motorcycle-with-a

The 17 A controller will give you 816 W peak with a 48 V battery. The 500 W motor rating is the power at which the motor will run at for 1 hour without heating, just like the 250 W rating of legal motors. A 22 A controller is going to give 500 W constant and 1 kW peak, I think that they have one...

Reprogram via cable which is available from various places in the UK.

Your pictures didn't work. You can mount Shimano Steps pedal arms, they have a nice Q factor or any square taper pedal arms where you have a left and a right one available. Here is a selection of cranks you can just bolt on: https://www.dutchbikebits.com/alligt/ You can turn your Amps up a bit...

The other day I was passed in the car by a modern kitted 49cc scooter and I was doing 70 km/h. Very intelligent person had done the tuning because the original muffler had been retained so it wasn't spewing more dB than HP...
