You have been reading Atomic Zombie ;) There is a difference between DIY axles and factory made ones, you want to make the former as strong as you can and the engineers in the trike business have put lots of hours into making the latter as light and strong as they can too. If ICE, AZUB or...

Trike, cheaper, simpler - forget the first word... I am saving up for a pair of these: Disk hubs are a bit cheaper https://www.ginkgo-veloteile.de/ginkgoshop/en/Wheel-Accessories/Hubs/front-Hubs/Bitex-Trike-Disc-Hub-220-gr-12-mm.html

I was talking about a new study on inland wind farms released last week where the wholesale cost per kWh was (much) lower than Hinkley Point. Wales and Scotland are among the windiest parts of Europe... But there is no way of getting planning position for inland wind farms in the UK so you won't...

Front wheel trike hub: https://www.ginkgo-veloteile.de/ginkgoshop/en/Wheel-Accessories/Hubs/front-Hubs/Sturmey-Archer-Front-Wheel-Hub.html

I was reading that wind farms in Scotland and Wales could produce as much and cheaper electricity than your French nuclear power station paid for by the Chinese...

From "The Art of Bicycle Touring" Pros of disc brakes: Strong action Less affected by mud and water Unaffected by warped rims Pads last a long time No rim wear and tear No heated rims or tire blowouts on long descents Disc-specific rims can be slightly stronger They look cool, let's admit it...

You could just fit a Magura Hydraulic rim brake to the front.

My two BMSB packages came from Belgium...

I have put an oldish one in the resources section. I have a more recent one and the only important changes are the PAS systems and their settings.

It is a load of anti-EU waffle, this has never been mentioned by any news source this side of the sheep dip! s-pedelec number plates and compulsory insurance yes, we have those Any fool who wouldn't buy an e-bike because it required compulsory insurance doesn't belong on an e-bike and I might...

We will miss you! At least you are in touch with some kind of reality...

Yes I was being a bit cynical. LiPo has one default - human error. You can't compare the punishment a LiPo battery takes in a model plane or a car with the treatment the same battery gets in an e-bike or on a boat or in my nexus 7 tablet and my Nikon camera. The cell in my nexus isn't even in a...

http://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/store/p69/Bafang%C2%AE_BBS02B_mid_drive_conversion_kit_36V_250W.html This is a legal 250 W BBS02 (350-500W nominal) motor, it is legal because it has 250 W stamped on it. These motors have been compared favorably to Bosch motors when they are correctly set up...

Are they reliable now? Do they cost the same? They weigh 600 and 900 grams more... ;)

Real world cost for someone who rides a bit: 0.14 GBP/mile (I did the conversions for once) the host bike was an attic find so 0 €.

Just to add that most flat devices use LiPo pouch cells: my Google nexus 7, my Nikon camera for example. And we all know that LiPo is VERY dangerous don't we? And yet there it is in your pocket, near your face every day...

Tern Link D8 is largely the best bike with bigger (24") wheels. I feel there may be one of those with the new xiongda rear hub motor in my futur. There is space in the frame for the controller so you can put a light battery wherever you choose on the bike. I folds up small enough to go in a bag...

I really want to pull the trigger on one of those spot welders but I have to get my dinghy done first... In the long term I am thinking of making 12.5 Ah 48 V batteries in HL cases. The goal is long range touring so In an ideal world 4 x 12.5 Ah in parallel for 2400 Ah or (hopefully) +250 km...

4.78 € from nkon compared to your 4.83 € so 0.05 E cheaper shipping included of course. I am interested in your battery performance report next! Come on get out there and use the damned thing, the weather is great! :)

Everything I don't use the car for. Oh I forgot I don't have a car... :rolleyes:
