The other manufacturers will, without question. (Edit) that should be “would” given the opportunity. When the original cellular mobile network was installed in the uk The network was engineered by two manufacturers, both networks functioned well yet after a short time one half was completely...

The starting voltage is a little low, I presume that you have not fully charged he battery but regardless the amount of voltage drop under load and as the motor stops does not suggest to me that you have a battery problem. It also does not suggest a problem with the key switch. Whilst there...

It’s always used to make me laugh though, I would spend half an hour presenting a case which I thought was completely waterproof. Without a seconds hesitation the reply would come back straight away :-)

Sorry I’ve had to edit this because something got messed up in the quoting, my fault. I just read this bit and I thought that will be a first for an insurance company not to wheedle out of the claim !

It made me chuckle, You probably haven’t worked much in N.I., “away dry your eyes” was a common response when I had to ask for contract variations :-)

I passed a young girl on a mountain bike a couple of days ago, I sort of half know her as she is a distant neighbour. She mentioned later that I was going quite fast. I made it clear that I was being helped along by an engine and that my old-age and cunning allowed me to cheat with impunity :-)

I am trying to ensure that Sami understands that more current is drawn as the motor works harder. Regardless of the type of controller, as far as I know neither Ohms nor Kirchoffs principles have been rescinded :-) but if your saying that the motor will draw maximum current when completely...

I would not suggest going down the lines of moped as this would preclude using the bike on certain classifications of cycle path.

And perhaps someone like me who sometimes hit turbo and fly up the hills like I did 40 years ago with a stupid grin on my face :-)

Okay, So far all we really know for sure is that the voltage that you are measuring changes as you start to pedal (or use the throttle) A few things can be causing this problem and it’s frustrating when only some of the symptoms are given but I know remote testing is hard sometimes. I’m going...

What do you mean you have a problem with the switch?

the Only thing left to check then is volts drop right at the battery terminals as described earlier, just to confirm the wiring connectors and your key switch. If the voltage drops sharply right at the battery then it sadly looks like it needs a new battery ( as suggested much earlier) if the...

As he asked the question in 2006 he’s probably sorted himself out or been squashed

When you turn the key off and back on is the bike normal again for a while without charging and will it work in pedal assist Three

The throttle behaving the same as the pedal sensor seems to point toward the battery supply and it’s cabling. Earlier you mentioned the battery key, does your key turn on and off the power or does it just lock the battery in place? If the key is also an electrical switch it would be worth...

That’s interesting, is there a sensor close to that disk, does the gap between the sensor and disk change or is the disk able to move closer / further away as you pedal ?

I haven’t checked, I’m fairly sure that only recently they Zoe still had a “lease charge“ for the battery It’s all about coming up with a package that will suit, build it and they will come

It is a business opportunity that is currently being missed, there is precedent with battery lease for some cars , it would be best progressed as an arm of the cycle to work scheme. Caveat , One of the biggest influences on PCP for cars is the uncertainty of the future residual value of the...

Today’s little training circuit involved about a mile on the flat with a massive tail wind, I managed to sustain just short of 40 miles an hour for a little while which means my knackered old legs can still spin for a few minutes at 130 rpm. But in reality the gears are far too tall on this...

It’s quite hard to diagnose remotely and I’m not entirely sure that What Sami is reporting is clear. It would probably take just a few moments if the bike was presented in front of us so we have to be patient talking him through the test. It would be interesting to know exactly where he is...
