    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The age of the petrol powered car is coming to an end. I think that is a good thing, just look at the jobs Elon Musk has created making an acceptable electric car. Look at the alternative means of individual transport we now have: Twizy, s-pedelec, vélomobile... Humans are at their best when...

    Sort of: "Listen, we are leaving and you had better give us the best possible deal! Or else!" Or else what? you'll leave? LMFAO

    Battery fire - Hannover ebike shop

    As there are more and more batteries around us there will be more and more battery fires, simple statistics. Boffins in white coats are working on making future ones safer.

    Not an E-bike, but could make an ideal companion for one?

    I walk at 6 km/h so speed on the footpath isn't an issue. It would be easy for them to add a leash that cuts the power similar to those used on outboard motors. Getting it to go out the door before me while I hold it open might be? Don't know if they have put that feature in. Small steps and...

    Pannier rack for full suspension E-MTB

    Since I lifted up the IKEA trailer in the store and felt its weight my solid steel one is very unloved. :( And it still has a buckled rim so not up to any distances over the 3.6 km to the supermarket and thus fishing spots are just out of range. So my first spare 169€ of the year will be spent...

    Riese Muller 1000 watt battery option

    That is the ideal place to put a bag for the camera, tablet and whatever. I would love a rack like that and probably attach a bag permanently so that it couldn't be nicked. In it I would put my street backpack. And it protects the light from taking knocks.

    Help me lose bike weight

    I have used my trailer to carry... a bike! When I built my new bike I put all the bits in the trailer and took them over to my GF's patio. OK I understand what you want to do @flik9999 and even gave some advice (which you ignored) in one of your early threads. I understand you are on a limited...

    Greenway Cross City

    Answer to both: Yes. China is pretty flat in the cities too. The first time I rode with my 20 Ah LiPo I was blown away, 0.6V sag in assistance level 5 of 5 on 15% climbs is something you can only love! Even using just the 10 Ah of LiPo is better because it is capable of supplying 15 Amps...

    Inner tubes

    I second Schwalbe tubes, I go to the pump at the service station about once every 3 months. (Reminder to self: go check tyre pressure when it stops raining...)

    Greenway Cross City

    My feeling is never ask more than 1C from a battery. My 10.4 Ah Li-ion worked OK with the Mxus hub motor because I wasn't asking it for more than 11 Amps most of the time. As soon as it was used with the GSM it started sagging badly but if I only ask 10 Amps or less it plugs along giving about 8...

    Holds 12 bottles of wine! :rolleyes: How about a fleet of three: camping gear in one, food in another and clothing/personal gear in another. BUT... They wouldn't keep up going down hill :eek: What happens if it gets lost?

    If you want a top three of xenophobia in Europe I give you: 1. Austria, the birth place of you know who 2. Switzerland, where it is covered in chocolate or should that be hypocrisy 3. The UK, damn it! You didn't make first place again, always runner up or in third place I may be wrong but...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think that one of the failings of the EU is its inability to communicate about what it does. Full page ads in the papers for example. There is a show about the EU on Arte but only snobby culture loving leftist intellectuals like myself watch Arte... The show is both critical of things being...
