You should try pedaling from time to time ;) Cheekiness aside I tried using my bike on full assist and minimal effort a couple of times and got about that from a 10.4 Ah battery. Where I live it is hilly, windy and I weigh about 78 kg. Are you in the right gear? Is it windy? We would have to...

My HWBS and controller provide instant on/off (i.e. no human detectable delay), the switch acts very much like a ... switch!

I remembered this: "Why do professional road racers use narrow tires? Wide tires only roll easier with the same inflation pressure. Narrow tires are used however with a higher inflation pressure, which makes them of course less comfortable. In addition to this, narrow tires have an advantage...

Don't you have a 24V battery handy? I would connect temporarily to the thick black and red and try turning the bike on. Could the thin red just be used for the LEDs showing the battery level on the handlebar? I think that maybe you might have to drop the motor to get at a hidden screw for the...

I loved the photos of May getting the cold shoulder treatment from her "peers" at the EU meeting. I rejoin @Danidl's comments above. Appreciation of UK residents from the French side: - The French love the Scots, very long historical ties, "Oh you're Scottish! For a moment I was afraid you...

Law here is much of the same. Accidents are usually with drivers side doors opening onto the road. I have a broken big toe because a "lady" opened her passenger side door to get out and grab a loaf of bread on the fly at a red light. I was on my scooter on the inside lane and she on the outside...

You have been reading the UK press again Dave, you know it will make you blind... I would say a common "Doh?" and wonderment at so much stupidity in the UK press, a WTF? moment maybe.

Please tell me when you want rid of them! I will take them off your hands and even pay for postage! :rolleyes: DT Swiss rims? Be still my heart!

Can I pronounce the dark speech? So be it, we need a tax on speculation and tax evasion. A tiny, tiny tax. But on billions of billions it will add up... Investment isn't speculation and vice versa. Good capitalism creates wealth but bad capitalism whisks it away into the pockets of the greedy...

I never found mine lacking in torque, it managed all the Basque Country hills I pointed it at, ciclotek claim 32Nm.

They will fit in nicely in Rotterdam, Antwerp or Hamburg. London ceased being a major port decades ago, back to their roots I say!

Front light cannot be repaired... :( b+m got back to me after my service inquiry: no spare parts so the black plastic bit that I can't glue will not be replaceable, the light is ultra-sonic welded so can't be dismantled to look for a broken contact... I will keep it on the bars for now because...

At the moment my favorite is the Rockrider 520 which is a 27.5". I am thinking of just putting the 26" wheel in the back with a 2.15 tyre which means the wheel will be 3.43 cm smaller. A very keen eye will spot the difference in diameter. The other option is to have the motor laced into the...

These Mxus motors are very good, I have the freewheel version which is waiting to go back into another bike in 2017. I personally would stick to an 11-34 8 speed cassette because the motor is powerful enough to eliminate the need for too many gears. Say a 48-38 on the front for speed on the...

See! I've been living in the EU too long, my spelling has gone to the dogs! The spelling whiskey is common in Ireland and the United States, while whisky is used in all other whisky producing countries. Or I have been communicating with too many Americans? Or Irish?

Careful! You are staying on topic. :rolleyes:

I was being nice, I didn't say what I really think, I chose a nice word instead. Ooops my English side is showing (my mum's side), how hypocritical and PC of me... The Grinch is my middle name, I am an atheist and the only spirit around here is Scotch Whiskey, this is the time of year I like...

I said "Europe" not the EU. Some of us here tend to use the one or the other without differentiation because we live there. So for you one of the most interesting and successful social experiments since WWII is irrelevant - delusional springs immediately to mind.

Breaking news: Europe declared irrelevant by pedelec forum member...

First time on the train So now that everything is working I decided to go south with the idea of getting some winter wear for riding in the colder days ahead. Yesterday was brilliant sun and 19°C so I was feeling that my goal a bit out of touch with reality. The ride to Irun station was...
