    The Mxus motor will climb hills at 26-27 km/h, if you pedal hard enough. With a 17 A controller it will do 33 km/h, if you buy a 48 V battery and controller it will do 44 km/h on the flat.

    Advice Needed Re: Waterproofs for Commuting

    Why do you Englishmen hate your feet so much? :eek: I remember the first time I saw an Englishman's feet without shoes and socks, would have been a great scene in a horror movie... I said wet, not cold. We don't have much in the way of icy cold rain here it is either wet or cold rarely both at...

    What Bafang this time?

    From EM3ev: "Bafang 36V 250-500W BBS02 Ebike Kit We no longer have any kits marked as 250W, but we can provide 250W labels. " Just buy a 500 W BBS02 and print your own label. You could try Woosh's GSM with external controller. It should handle 18 amps, they tested it at Southend with a BMS...

    Advice Needed Re: Waterproofs for Commuting

    I have a breathable normal parka which works because being bald I don't need the hood, most heat is dissipated by the head and wear waterproof walking shoes. Usually I just let my jeans get wet unless it is really bucketing down when I put the waterproof pants on.

    Cycle or die?

    I start getting worried when I am at around 80 kg, I just don't feel right so I increase walking, cycling whatever. I used to row a lot. A while back I was at 81 kg and very unhappy so I got stuck in and my weight rose to about 82-83 kg but my waistline went down as I grew muscle. Then it went...

    What's the Q128C like at low speeds?

    44T and 32 tooth on a 104 BCD spider. The 32 tooth will climb just about anything including the living room wall with an 11-40 cassette.

    Q-Factor Bosch

    I posted it in my thread gained 24.6 mm IIRC. I bought the STEPS ones because I am a horrible fashion snob and the ones supplied were ugly beyond measure. The Q factor improvement was an additional extra :D On the trike I want to go down to 165 mm cranks maybe even 160 mm.

    Which Kit?

    I think that might be it. Before I built my coffee can PAS disk the plastic one would work fine but eventually after rubbing the plastic would swell up with the heat generated by the friction and it would block completely.

    Project X , emma's folding e-trike

    My T-Tris 26 is somewhere between Brno and here... In my area there are no trikes, I have seen two in the last 5 years and the second hand market is zero. Nice build Emma. My welding skills are a bit rusty and I have no workshop but I did look hard at Atomic Zombie before deciding factory...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not all wages, people working in services have been left behind. In Germany you have hairdressers, for example, who can't pay their rent. Workers in industry have powerful unions (remember those?) behind them and are reaping all the benefits.

    Wanton and Reckless

    Cars kill hundreds of pedestrians a year, how many drivers go to jail in those cases? The guy was on the wrong side of the law and his comments before the trial were irresponsable to say the least. But the death was a freak accident - that blow to the head would be hard to reproduce even in...

    Which Kit?

    Did you try turning the pedals backwards too? I thought that mine was intermittent too but it was just spinning up to 25 km/h then cutting off :oops:

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Economic success at the expense of people working full time is rather relevant, their system is not without its flaws. I guess we can trust them to work that one out by themselves though. Germany has building regulations which mean many homes are energy positive. That is an idea the UK could...

    Cycle or die?

    The French recommendation is 20 minutes walking per DAY! Walking at a decent pace is much kinder on the body (knees, other joints) than jogging and just as good for your heart. Cycling for at least 30 minutes at a low assist level should do the trick too. I used to walk to work and back when I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They are increasingly facing a working poor problem so that wealth is not being correctly distributed to all those in employment. The weather isn't fabulous and the food is disgusting. Their products are robust but often lack in fantasy, imagination is more of a Scandinavian quality than a...
