Unlikely. It would become unridable before it fell apart. These two nuts hold the fork steerer tube into the frame. The handle bars (connected to a quill stem) goes down inside this tube. This shows the quill stem:

Yes, that and an ajustable/swan necks would do it.

Only snag is the bottom one is often very thin. Swan neck pliers and one adjustable might be better, but the right tools are available on EBay for £10. Search for 'headset tool'.

I always use two adjustable's, but I'm an ape. Slacken the top one, tighten the bottom one until play is gone but bars move freely. Hold bottom one steady, nip up top one. Check, 're-adjust if necessary.

That's just under 19%.

Are you sure that's the one that goes to the throttle?

Sometimes when a throttle fails it will make the bike go flat out. Some controllers have a check on start-up to ensure the throttle is not faulty. Could be that what's happened here. Do you have a spare throttle? Alternatively, post some picks of the throttle connector at the controller end...

Does it have a throttle?

As d8veh said in the other thread, SLA's will last longer if you give them an easier time of it. This means a lower discharge and then recharge is best, just like the battery in your car. But that said, they won't last very long and are usually a false economy. 200 cycles is often quoted...

Who said what?

Battery = Problem.

Those are very different machines, but at least they force you to make the crank/hub decision early on. What sort of riding are you planning? Leisure, utility, sport, fitness, commuting? What sort of range do you want, and how fast do you want to go? Where are you planning on riding? (Off/on...

I'm pretty sure the bike will take it, but I have to ask, what are you carrying that is 30 kilos? Last week I went on holiday with my wife and boy. We took 3 x 70l rucksacks (the big ones). As well as the usual, this included 3 complete sets of snorkelling gear, including fins, wet suits and my...

No, unless the originals are damaged.

You are 95 kilos, under the 100k rider weight limit.

Have you looked at the Kudos bikes?

This assumes that efficiency is linear across the RPM of the motor. It is not.

I can't believe the fun police have let this go as far post 6 before correcting your use of the term 'off road'.

In a word, no. To expand, NOOOOoooooo!
