    Scooters - blooming good value

    8fun crank drive kit

    The power does stop instantly when you stop pedalling, on hub gears you do need a brief full stop of pedalling to get a change, there's a bit of skill involved. The hub could well improve with a few miles on though, my none-powered nexus 8 did get better on gear changes with a few miles under...

    8fun crank drive kit

    My reference was to the motor this thread is about, not the one you've just linked to. Edit. I see the linked article was over a year ago, are there any bikes with that system on?

    8fun crank drive kit

    I'm guessing you know it doesn't work quite like that. Can this new motor cut the power instantly when you stop pedalling and also vary the assistance dependant on rider input? or is it just start pedalling and it switches on, on full power, stop pedalling and it stops two seconds later like the...

    Maximising battery range

    Rob do you think a none powered bike would be easier to ride than yours in eco? I've ridden mine in eco when I've realised I'm not going to make it home with any battery left if I stay in higher settings. Eco up the hills seems to just about make up for the heavier bike for me.
