    Wish i could have helped a little more :(

    I guess its a grey area. Did you know that many police officers carry a leatherman (or similar) ? I guess their argument for carrying such a device would be along the lines of 'I never know what I'll come up against while out in the beat, so I come prepared for every eventuality'. I feel the...

    Wish i could have helped a little more :(

    Funny enough, after 15 years of exposure to harsh environments (I.e my pocket) the only thing that's failed in my leatherman is the knife locking mechanism. So technically, it's probably legal to Cary without specific need/justification. I'm happy to keep carrying mine. The risks far outweigh...

    Wish i could have helped a little more :(

    Sorry, didn't mean to sound argumentative. Its a fair point you make, and if ever I get stoped and searched, these are the arguments I will use. Not that I've ever been stopped or searched in 42 years.

    I wouldn't define it as 'Concealed'. Its not hidden other than by my pocket. The bit in the legislation that is relevant seems to be 'Without good reason'. As a professional Engineer and Cyclist I would say that I have good reason pretty much all the time. It also seems that knives with...

    Problem - assistance cuts-out intermittently

    The satirical magazine Viz coined a new phrase a few editions back. "The French have been involved: Usually uttered by car mechanics. When something is terminally Fxxxed, with no obvious method of repair e.g. I'm sorry madam, your car needs to scrapped. It's only a blown headlight bulb, but the...

    New Gtech ebike

    Hmm, I only got as far as 'Electronic bike' before concluding that they don't know what they are talking about. Electronics is about data, information or control. None of those things make a bike go along.

    No Car, Need a bike to go to shops and gym, Advice please.

    Why would you buy an ebike to go to the gym? Cancel the gym subscription, buy a cheap second hand manual bike. Money and fitness problem solved! Use the surplus money to buy a half decent bike for commuting. I don't know much about this particular bike, but I'm guessing that's an SLA battery...

    Are you saying that you climbed 4800m in 11000m? That's 44%.

    Front or rear hub ?

    I agree, 10kW split equally between Front/rear is the best setup!

    Front or rear hub ?

    Another advantage of front wheel hub motor is that you can have hub gears in the back. Also, front wheel drive helps to balance the weight if you have a heavy battery at the back, and gives you two wheel drive. If you want more than 250w then rear is probably better.

    BMS bottle-09 battery.

    Sorry d8veh, I misread this first time, and thought you were talking about the controller. I forgot there's an integrated controller version of this battery. Anyway, that's just what I need, as I can solder on some flex and run it to an Anderson. Perfect.

    BMS bottle-09 battery.

    Hmm. Thanks for the input peeps. Perhaps my question was badly phrased. I'll try again: I've just ordered one of these. Can anyone who has first hand experience of these batteries confirm the details of the battery output? Does it have a pair of wires with a connector (don't care what) coming...
