    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My experience of racism in the UK is a bit dated but back then my feeling was much more racist than NZ, probably less than the US and definitely less than Australia (farmers could shoot aboriginals crossing their land unpunished until the late '60s!). I think the isolation of living on an...

    Where's the battery?

    161 x 98 x 66 mm - 2.1 kg that is 4 x 4 Ah Turnigy 5S nano-tech in a 2P2S configuration 8 Ah at 25C :) 296 Wh nominative, about 266 real Wh = 35 km or so in my neck of the woods. It will do to the station and back. On flat land it will go forever... 166€ plus the wires and it fits nicely in...

    BBS02 on a cargo bike.

    What chainring did you get? After climbing a couple of "mountain" passes I am moving to a 42 tooth. I want to be able to climb steep and go far, given up on highest possible top speed downhill. Don't worry about the battery, having all those extra Ah will at least lessen voltage sag on those hills.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    When they have no social security and they have to pay cash for each doctors visit they will have to leave the EU. The case is different here in France where you had to already have serious money before thinking of buying property, much more expensive than Spain. On the Spanish news the shops...

    A water bottle battery like the Keyde is quite stealthy

    52v Charger...where to buy one

    lunacycle chargers look good for $100 plus postage http://lunacycle.com/batteries/chargers/ I made the mistake of initially buying a cheaper lipo charger which was under-powered for my needs, that has been corrected and it is an investment which is well worthwhile. If I am to return to using...

    45 Mile Commute, possible on a eBike?

    There was a "race" across Madrid on that Spanish news I watch the other day, car vs bus vs bike (unpowered). The bike won hands down by several minutes of course. Including 43 seconds for parking at destination instead of 3 minutes for the car by the time he found a spot. Which is why I like...

    Gear sensor

    I have already tried, they just don't think they need it. Anyway @flecc is OK with their "English" so all is well! :p I don't need one of these with the GSM. Is it my way of changing gears that means I never have problems? Correct cadence, always in the right gear at the right time? Quality of...

    45 Mile Commute, possible on a eBike?

    That is about the distance from here to S. Sebastian, I do that in just over an hour and a half on a normal pedelec. There are a couple of serious hills. What kills my average speed is the cycle paths where the speed is limited. I can do that once or twice a week. I thought about getting an...

    They had a new guy at the frame factory and he bent a couple of tubes before he got the hang of things :rolleyes:

    A rare piece of history - Swizzbee

    More than reasonable. Of course I would have to double that amount to come and pick it up :( I still think you should find a place for it and keep it. Or fix the battery issue and put it on an auction site you would probably get your £600+ I have my own rare bike: Pretty good nick, has...

    45 Mile Commute, possible on a eBike?

    That bike isn't road legal in the UK which is why they have put 200W, it is an s-pedelec capable of 45 kph/29 mph. The battery is a 468 Wh so it will do the ride with a charge at the office if the route is reasonable flat.

    Where's the battery?

    Aren't popup ads malware? ;) One click and my tablet/phone was vibrating and opening windows with very nasty messages. About 5 windows in all. I am sure I have looked at other photos from your albums without problems? Maybe not on that tablet. I like what lunacycle are doing. A wee bit pricey...

    Traction problem with Big Bear

    Rohloff/gearbox question/s!

    Ouch! And no motor? :p The pinion box sells retail for slightly lower price than the Rohloff and this bike has absolutely everything mounted standard. I love the number of rivnuts mounted as standard! A compact hub motor with the Gates freewheel cog is the only thing missing!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the real abuse was going into Irak. Whose fault was that? Wouldn't it be a Labour PM of yours trying to make a name for himself in the history books? He is the one that should be in front of the ECHR for crimes against humanity.
