    Thinking about those Indians, it's more likely they're eating more processed foods in the UK and not exercising as much as they would in India perhaps where more natural foods are available in markets etc.. so this could be a good example of how people taken out of a certain environment has a...

    ANYBODY TRIED THESE ?....... china comes to town

    I don't know if I mentioned performance, but on my 36V 10Ah Li-Ion battery (running a 250W motor) I can do about 6 miles on throttle only at full power without pedalling before the battery goes totally flat. I haven't tested it on pedal assist but I know on that motor running off 5Ah LiFePo4 I...

    Woosh going for a song......well, maybe!

    That's very generous of you d8veh! I bet he will get some more bids though even if it's only local.

    Woosh going for a song......well, maybe!

    I will say because it's only four months old, if he had put delivery options or courier collection, then it should do 60-70% of retail price so..£370-400 ish... however, as he's put collection only that's going to really limit the market so I reckon he will get £270-£290 ish

    Is there any hub drive bike worth paying more than £1700?

    Simple is often better. Maybe there is some trade-off somewhere in performance for some users, but it looks like the hub wins for cost and efficiency too?

    Is there any hub drive bike worth paying more than £1700?

    Would be interested to know what you can find out! I wonder if they're struggling with it that's how it looks. I did contact them to ask some advice and mentioned I was converting a Mezzo d9 to electric which nobody seems to have ever done before..they were very interested and asked me to send...

    Maybe there's a genetic factor here though and an environment and diet suits one type of genetics won't be good for another...a bit like if you take a certain type of wild animal out of its natural habitat they often don't live long. So these people who can survive in what we consider...

    Knee injuries

    That makes sense flecc and I guess if you look at it from a scientific point of view, the body is already 50-65% water so it has a good reserve to draw on..and it tells you when that reserve is being depleted as you feel dehydrated. You could measure how much water the body loses from...

    Finally bought a smaller folder for conversion...

    I sound like a real ditherer but I want to get this gearing right first time and not have to fit it all and then change it later! I'm worried that Cyclezee's range may go too low and the changes over 7-spd might be too hard and not smooth.. I find 26T to be just about right for me its ok on...

    Finally bought a smaller folder for conversion...

    Cool I will probably go with that then since it's quicker delivery and if it's not right I can always sell it on..but that has a good range eh, very low gearing for unpowered on hills and very high geared too (same as my current 11T 9-spd). You can't go any more highly geared without changing...

    Finally bought a smaller folder for conversion...

    Heh, ok let's go through it: Motor = 2.1kg Controller = 300g? Battery = 2.3kg Thumb Throttle = 300g? Pedal Sensor = 200g? Brake Sensor = 200g? Total additional weight: 5.4kg.. total bike weight = 17.7kg This doesn't take into account cabling, socket/connectors, adding speedict....also maybe...

    ANYBODY TRIED THESE ?....... china comes to town

    I'm wondering if it might work out cheaper use to use sea freight even for small orders.. with sea freight you buy container space by the quarter/half or full load normally at fixed prices (through a shipping agent). So this is a very economical way of doing it if several people are ordering at...

    ANYBODY TRIED THESE ?....... china comes to town

    Mine came by FedEx but it was a year ago and I think these new policy changes have started fairly recently.. probably couriers are nervous about the risk of terrorism etc.. Some would argue it's silly because they will transport a laptop which contains a Li-Ion battery, but not a Li-Ion battery...

    Is there any hub drive bike worth paying more than £1700?

    Flecc is there a tradeoff though between the lower cost of hub motor kits and the crank drive? If the hub motor fails once in the lifetime of a crank, it's still cheaper to replace? I wonder where the trade-off point is...3x replacement?
