Is this you? ;)

A mid-motor can be easier to mount to an aluminium frame, no mucking about with filing dropouts and fitting torque arms. You use a normal rear wheel which gives a wider range of choice in gearing - hub gears, any size cassette, freewheel if you have a wheel with one of those. Easier to fix a...

I promised a couple of photos of the new bits on the bike a long time ago (before the rain...) today the sun is out. Yes I was in black and white mode without realising :oops: Above at the top the HW brake sensor, large BMS Battery controller box, the external PAS and the Shimano STEPS...

Answering the OP's question, no it is not a myth, from EN15194: 4.2.7 Maximum power measurement 4.2.7.1 Measurement at the engine shaft The maximum continuous rated power shall be measured according to EN 60034-1 when the motor reaches its thermal equilibrium as specified by the manufacturer...

If I want to have fun I get in a boat and row for a few hours or I walk for 30 or 40 km. I don't associate cycling with fun and never have, a bike has always been a tool to get someplace, even as a boy. I don't say that I don't enjoy riding from point A to point B, it is much more fun than the...

I don't cycle for fun I cycle for transport...

My version is from 2009: 4.2.6 Maximum speed for which the electric motor gives assistance 4.2.6.1 Requirements The maximum speed for which the electric motor gives assistance may differ by ± 5% of the speed indicated on the label described within Clause 5 when determined according to the test...

It is a tolerance in EN15194 which is 10% for manufactured bikes and 5% for others (kits). I guess the manufacturers asked for that tolerance so they wouldn't have to spend a fortune testing and tuning each and every bike that comes off the assembly line. Remember it can go both ways -10% :eek...

Yes I upgraded from 8 to 12 magnets and you can feel the difference especially in startup which takes much less rotation.

Yes, much quieter and smoother power delivery.

Soon we will know if the French are as stupid as brexiters/trumpists. Not holding my breath or offering any predictions. Voting today is for the right wing candidate for the presidency next year. Le Pen is basing her chances on the fear that France will be over run by 7.5% of the population...

As there isn't a section for bike equipment (...) I'll put this here Yesterday I went to Ikea for the first time in a year to renew sheets and pillows and plastic ware for the kitchen etc. and on display was the Ikea bike and trailer. The bike seems very expensive for what it is, even with the...

It is a Decathlon Riverside 3 from about 2009 (?) found in the skip... :) I salvaged the frame, stem, front wheel and the fork everything else is new or borrowed from my previous bike.

<= Look at my avatar Single tube "unisex" step through frames are heavier and less rigid than "women's" frames with twin tubes. That only matters if you want to go fast (+60 kph downhill) like I do. With two full paniers and/or a trailer packed with fishing gear being able to step through the...

There are hub gears then there is Rohloff... 150 Nm of torque allowed so it will handle a BBS02.

And the LCD can be put away somewhere out of sight and out of mind and out of the rain! Extra functions like setting LVC to 36.5 V for 10S LiPo for example...

I could be a EU citizen if I chose to take up French nationality. I have chosen not to do so because I feel there is a confusion between nationality, the place you were born, and citizenship, the place you live and pay taxes. If there was EU citizenship on offer I would take that up because I...

Point three is already not applied in the UK, I can obtain a long term EU resident card (I have been living in the EU for almost 40 years) that allows me to live and work in any country in the EU except Denmark, Ireland and the UK.

This one is a very good Chinese one: https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-kit/695-s06sc-sine-wave-controller-for-central-motor-ebike-kit.html

I'm not moaning about it because it isn't worthy of even a small groan. I'm sorry it isn't the same thing. I was doing forums when the rich fb brat was still wearing nappies. He came along much later said that he had invented something much cooler/better than forums and that we should all sign...
