    HANDLEBAR EXTENDER

    Ergotec does an up and down stem extender which also allows you to turn the handlebars flat for in the train or in the garage. Not cheap at 36€ but has a lot of features.

    Retiring my Battery

    Not only Lipo any cell! The best lipo packs are the ones with balanced cells so yes I looked at the resistance and bingo! My weak pack has a cell with higher internal resistance. Your charger should be able to give you the readout of cell resistances. I don't monitor them, if you have imbalance...

    Hydrogen Powered bikes

    Such distances are doable on a trike or velomobile where you are comfortably seated and where speed on the flat and downhill is higher because of less air resistance. There is also plenty of room to attach fuel cell and canisters.

    How long should a chain last on a E-MTB

    I agree with your analysis - dusty conditions are wearing it out quickly. If it jumps get rid of it. I wore out a chain very quickly on a hub motor riding often on sand. You can buy chains and cassettes from bike-discount.de for much cheaper than the LBS, I would buy spares so at any sign of...

    Do the cops care about illegal eBikes?

    The other day we were passed by a young lady (of about 15) on a 50cc scooter in a 50 km/h restricted area. When we left the zone we caught up and followed her, up a hill at above 70 km/h. The police hardly ever stop scooters breaking the 45 km/h limit she was 25 km/h over, that is a 135€ fine...

    Retiring my Battery

    Test each one and you want to know internal resistance too. Ones with too high internal resistance you bin.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We (from your colonies) received your education. We are the fruit of your Empire. Brexit is "le sommet de votre connerie"...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am totally in the "I think you are Mad as Hatters" category now, which is quite a few notches up the scale from "gentle eccentrics"...

    Do the cops care about illegal eBikes?

    My speedo is off because I have big fat tyres and the Chinese don't let you set the exact circumference in the settings so I can never get caught for speeding when under power :) However in Irun you can be nicked on a pushbike if you are caught going over 30 km/h so I am very wary of speed...

    Best retro fit mid drive unit

    OK. Explains a lot about the brutal start un programmed BBSs seem to have. Trex told me the GSM has the same PAS system and that it is very hard to source parts. Cant you just weld the ring? Or epoxy the magnetic bits into the slots on your shaft?

    Best retro fit mid drive unit

    How does it work? I can understand several magnets going past a sensor but your ring has me stumped.

    I guess you didn't study history. Or you were the guy sleeping next to the heater at the back of the class... We have examples of how this kind of thing turns out.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course we know! There can't be a good outcome for UK businesses who have the EU as their principal client. How hard is that for you to understand?

    Ebike vs Road bike

    In my 20s I rode a drop bar racing bike on a daily commute of 28 km - 7km each way, home for lunch every day. My lungs are now shot (allergic asthmatic since birth) so despite me being a healthy strong rider for my age I could only use an unassisted bike on flat terrain. I can't get enough...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree he didn't do as much as he could have done. But he did have to deal with an obstructionist congres and senate where the only policy was to say no to anything he said, even if what he said was in the best interests of the general public. Or should that read "especially" if it was in the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    To further KTM's excellent analysis of the facts of business now and post brexit, any UK business that feels it will lose out could simply jump ship and install its HQ in the EU. This will still be quite easy to do before the UK has officially left the EU.

    Ebike vs Road bike
