    Why does it need brake switches? Perhaps they're not really needed.

    NuVinci CVT (Automatic Gears) Hub

    Even when properly adjusted and when you have the knack they can still give some nasty changes as Alex will attest to. Mine even pulls the back wheel forward just like Alex's bike did. I have no doubt that you would not have got on with a Nexus 8 in comparison with the NuVinci.

    What's the best car battery?

    Thanks everyone. The battery is on a Motohome that stands for long periods. I didn't fancy going away for a week and then not be able to start it after being stood for a week.It does get charged whilst stood. I do have a starter issue too, but that's a separate issue again related to lack of...

    Head to Head Collision.....Almost

    It was more Much Wenlock really. I rode to Telford after visiting Ironbridge. I couldn't really find much in Telford apart from some long ring roads with huge cycle path pavements.

    Head to Head Collision.....Almost

    I was on holiday in and around Telford a few years ago, I never rode on all those cycle paths either on the ring roads.

    That won't make any difference. Better to have the snug fit to the lock than some bikes that allow the battery to be fitted without the key. Mine always needs the key to fit the battery.

    Electric or motor technie geek advice?

    The display shows the last battery reading, so when you switch it on after charging and replacing the battery it very briefly shows the last power reading before then going to full. My bike can feel really sluggish off power at times, and at other times feel more like a normal bike, I'm not...

    I'd move it and see what that does.

    What's the best car battery?

    My fancy charger seems to have recovered the battery, I'll have to see how it holds up, It's now 11 years old. I'll probably go for this one anyway for peace of mind Bosch S4 Car Battery Type 110 (4 Year Guarantee) | eBay

    Have you had the battery on and off to see if that cures it. My display behaves like that when the battery is off the bike. ooh edit, I see you've had the battery off as well. Is the display unit still on properly. I took the screw out of mine to make it removable and it nearly fell off, I put...

    If it's solid I doubt it has moved then. Mine passes it roughly central with the B on Bosch.

    It sounds like you briefly lost power on the system. I've had a similar experience when switching on with my foot on the pedal. Does it not correct itself after switching off and back on again?

    What's the best car battery?

    I need a new battery for my car, are there any that last as long as OE batteries, I've had two vehicles where the original battery has lasted 11 years, but I've never had a replacement last more than about 5 years. Bosch, Varta, Exide, I presume they're all about the same?
