£3.99 + £8.50 postage to Europe, Britain is open for business! I think I'll just ride down to the motorbike shop instead...

When we study history in the colonies it is English history and why there is a Northern Ireland and and a south what it was for was taught to us. Not pretty, not "great" but very English. The idea failed miserably and ever since Ireland has been a pain in your rear, up until the 1920's the whole...

Welcome to the forum Mr Thorpe. Your bike was one of the first that I dreamed of owning when I got interested in pedelecs as a means of transport. Unfortunately it was way beyond my budget. Now with the experience I have gained I can see it is also not up to the terrain I ride on but it is a...

Unemployment is high because all the industrial jobs were sent to other countries when the US pension funds took the majority of shares in French companies. I have been here for 39 years and saw it happen with my own eyes. First was the textile industry in the north, then the steel and mining...

I'll have to be more careful with my hyperbole people are actually reading this... :oops: I'll have to measure but it is a substantial amount. They came from bike-discount.de in the new e-bike parts section IIRC, yep http://www.bike-discount.de/en/shop/cranksets-17871/l-24 Off to measure now...

In France if you are on your way to or from work it is a work related accident. The only time this is not true is if you are not on your "normal" route to work (on the other side of town going to work from your mistresses house for example...).

The problem is that people think of the battery as they think of a petrol tank in a car. It isn't just the tank it is also part of the petrol so you are going to use it up with each charge and each km you ride. My bottle battery is fading after 18 months and about 4000 km. The hills have done a...

Try riding one on the footpath in Barcelona to see if the police don't care... They won't say a thing if you are on the cycle path. http://www.ciclotekstore.eu/b2c/producto/0801022/2/electric-scooter-ciclotek-eclipse

It won't fold as small as with a hub motor. The front fold will still work, it is still pretty small when folded that way.

I was reading a short list of the promises made. It seems that 52% of people in the UK believe in Father Christmas and thinks he comes in June now?

It takes that long to ship from China...

I am missing something here, the GS is launching for the American market but is available worldwide on kickstarter?

Oh thank you Coca-Cola for your Christmas's past and pest on you McDonald's for your Halloween present... In France Halloween is directly associated with the opening of a McDonald's outlet of fine cuisine in the towns concerned, and now the media has jumped on the bandwagon. I always ask for...

Next week it will be £26,000 so do your bit, wait until then before buying. All the extra money goes to the NHS!

I am waiting for the version where he has a Li-ion battery which wants 42 V at 2 Amps at the charging port (about 100W if you factor in the losses) and a turbo button which lets you switch from a 250 W motor with 500 W generator to a 500 W motor with a 250 W generator. And Elon Musk mode: a 250...

My front derailleur is a glove in the panier bag! If I am ever in trouble I have a granny front chainring which will climb walls without assistance.

I was sitting here reading the forum and mulling the idea whether to go and chuck a line in the bay and overhead there are a huge number of cranes heading for Africa. Is it cold up your way? It was 26°C here all afternoon I think I have a slight sun tan... :rolleyes:

I had thought that it would be great with a pinion gear box. The pinions extended range 9 speed plus two Xiongda powered speeds is a pretty exciting proposition.

Welcome! I would suggest trying a 44. I have changed my GSM from a 46 to a 42 because of biggish hills (the Pyrenees...). Remember you have to keep your cadence up so as to not bog the motor down. You could mount a twin chainring on the Yamaha, the Giants allow this can't see why the Haibike...
