Yes. It also doubles as an oven so I can't charge batteries and bake at the same time. :) It has a handy smoke extractor mounted above too! :D No. Electricity like water will always take the path of least resistance and so the current will flow through the discharge leads. The balance lead is...

1. once you connect the packs in parallel via the discharge wires there will be no extra current flowing through the balance wires, nada, nothing, zilch... 2. I balance on charge so they don't need to be connected via balance wires on discharge. If I wanted to save 2.87 € I could connect the...

You parallel the discharge wires BEFORE you parallel the balance wires. You plug the discharge wires into your charger before you plug in the balance plug. etc. etc. It is in the manual, you read that? ;) Tesla wants the battery pack to give about 80% of its capacity for many years. They can...

No I am going to give the Mxus a second life. I don't know if the brightonebikes one has the 25 Amp controller.

Eh ben voila! You can say Quattro velo on here. We will all be a little jealous. Or maybe I won't be for very long... :cool: I would vote for the 500 W 36 V BBS02 from e3mev, unfortunately they are no longer stamped 250 W but the will put a 250 W sticker on it for you :)

And now Yamaha re-enters the game with a new version of their motor...

When you want to go slow you use low gear and low assistance level. 15% is starting to get pretty steep, my steep test hill is 13-14%. Having both types of motor: a 15% hill in low gear with the GSM is more comfortable than with the Mxus which requires more pedalling assistance at the same...

Me and my trailer are waiting for your magic voodoo grisgris that makes "weight not a problem"!

We need a drawing. :)

Nope. You can buy sprockets for nexus and alfine hubs from 13 to 24. Shimano recommends a minimum ratio of 1.6:1 so you have to think about that in choosing your front cog.

The weight is still there, whether you move it from the bike to a trailer or not is irrelevant. Having it in a trailer will mean greater braking problems than if it was on the bike for example. It still requires the same amount of energy to move.

In France there was industry well spread throughout the country. The factories were bought by the American pension funds, closed and the machines sent off to countries with cheaper labour. No jobs = no clients, that killed the village shops. Fewer people had cars back then. Shopping malls and...

Lower gearing wins every time.

Because you have a magical trailer with a force field that eliminates weight? The weight doesn't go away it is just moved behind the rear wheel and something (a motor?) needs to move it and brakes need to stop it.

Everyone is against that but the problem is greedy corporations using a loophole in EU regulations, not the EU itself. The problem has been noticed and I believe is being worked on. Those are the same greedy multinational corporations with whole accounting departments dedicating to finding...

Fact check time again kiddies - Brexit was all about xenophobia not about racism. It is true that many voting for brexit are both racist and xenophobic. There may well even be a sub-group of brexit voters who don't know what the last word means because it has too many syllables so they just use...

So you don't want to pay and you want a deal, that is going to go down well with us lot who pay 100% of our contribution isn't it?

One word answer: asthma. There is nothing wrong with my fitness and I have very strong legs. But as the years go by I have more and more trouble getting oxygen to my muscles. Any slope of length and I am quickly breathless with uncontrolled heart rate.

The Stromer looks OK in the flesh, it is the first battery in tube bike I ever saw. A bit mopedish but OK. The Giants have a bigger tube and they look OK because of the clever lead in at the top of the tube, the design is balanced somehow. Brose powered bikes look good because of the size of...
