BMS battery and Panda also sell them. You can get 4 for about £20 shipped from BMS. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

It's not about your feet slipping though, it's about being able to pull up on the pedal. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

As discussed in another thread, I wanted to use toe clips with my bikes. I like the look of Powergrips and Restrap, but but because I believe in conserving the planets precious resources (but mostly 'cos I'm a tight wad) I thought I'd make some. Whenever I get a new toolbag/laptop bag/holdall...

That motor looks like an 8fun/Bafang SWX to me. I have run the 24v model at 36v for years, no problem. It will go quicker and have a little bit more power, but I don't think you'll get more range unless you get a bigger battery. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Yes, but I don't want to wear special shoes, or spend more than 50p. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

As so many things bike, one man's poison... and all that. The main reason I like being 'strapped in' is because I can put in effort on the up stroke. Now, at first this sounds like a strange thing for a pedelec rider to say. More effort? I'm trying to get a bit fitter, so I want a workout...

No, I really mean toe clips. Actually, my uncharacteristic behavior has already progressed somewhat to DIY powergrip straps, though not as far a cleats. When I get a sec I'll show you how I made them for about £0. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Where are you ? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Push a pin out like this: Don't push it all the way out, let it sit in the outer plate: Then put it the other way, push it back in.... Easy. This tool even comes with a little clip to make life easy when you reconnect, and it stores neatly in the handle. Sent from my HTC One_M8...

Yup, it swings both ways. Edit: I have one here. Give me a minute I'll show you....

This is nonsense. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

To boil things down, to be legal the motor must be 'rated' no more than 250w. So, if the motor is rated 500w, or advertised as such, it's not legal. No ones cares what voltage x current you use ;-) Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

All you need is a chain tool. If the chain comes with a quick/power/snap link (one you don't want to use it) throw it away, push out half a link and join the chain in the normal way. If you are going to buy a new chain, you probably need a chain tool anyway. New chains are rarely the correct...

I expected a better grasp of basic biology from you Flecc. A pig is a mammal, so it gives birth to live chickens. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

So the message is if you want a throttle, DIY or get someone to convert it for you. The bike only has to have been ridden (presumably not before Jan 2016) to count as a conversion. Good news! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Its a fair point, and I often repair stuff that's not worth the effort. ....but, when a crank arms had it, it's had it. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

A new crank arm will only cost £20! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Yes, that's how it works, and that's why we use the the 'C' rating, because it relates the capacity (Ah) to current (A). The ratio is the same, no matter how many in parallel. The max discharge varies with the total capacity. So a 10Ah battery at 1.5C will give 15A. 20Ah will give 30A. Lipos...

That's not correct. Most lithium ion batteries are limited to about 1.5C, meaning that a 10ah battery will be limited to around 15A (around 600w) by its BMS. This is to protect the cells from damage. Lipo has a much higher C rating. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
