Dual battery. With a total weight of ' ~76lbs' That's 34 of your modern kilograms. Ouch - twice the weight of mine, no wonder it can carry so much. That's not a bike you'd ever want to run out of juice on.

Dassett Road CV47 please, flecc. I can recommend it, and live nearby.

True - it's a massive cost difference, but labour is missing, as is the appropriate suspension and brakes required for such a heavy bike (the Energica is no lightweight either). I wouldn't want to go fast on the homemade one without those upgrades. However I guess, with those taken into account...

It's a motorbike. Like this one but not as good: https://www.energicamotor.com/en/models/energica-ego-electric-motorcycle/ That goes much quicker than 110mph, and with a 200 mile range. But not at the same time. ;)

One second elapses (tops) from overtake to brake and then into what would have been your area. There's absolutely no room for error by any of the 3 vehicles involved. It wasn't skillful - it was luck that nobody got hurt. The driver needs educating - not necessarily punishing, and a 'driver...

> My wife is a petite 5’2” and she too could ride the same bike. As a 6'4" bloke I normally need not just Large, but XLarge, as would you, whereas your wife will be a XSmall / women's small. I'm pretty sure that's too much of a compromise. I occasionally ride my wife's ebike (womens large -...

The bicycle & motorcycle figures are correct - from here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/reported-road-accidents-vehicles-and-casualties-tables-for-great-britain#vehicles-in-reported-road-accidents-ras20 (the doc called RAS20001) On the scooter front - basic stats from the...

Quite right - my mistake. When the system goes wrong, the first point of call will be Hedgesteeper though - not the vendor of the kit. That support will need factoring in.

Off the top of my head, here are a couple of risks: 1) you don't have a quality control over the parts, yet you have to accept back any faulty units. That means you need a good working relationship with the OEM, in terms of being able to return kit. 2) the customer abusing the system/bike -...

Agree with sjpt. The YouTube vid shows a different bike being ridden in the action shots, so you can ignore that bit of fluff. There's no limited company/ trader info on the website either, which is unusual. The website seems to have been around since Mar 21 - ie. not long in the grand scheme...

Turns out it's OK for electrics as well. From that page, which I had missed: - 'Approved for use on electrics & engines '

The Park Tool doesn't mention % accuracy which I'd expect at that price, but then again Park Tool is unlikely to sell bad tools, so its probably within 10% or so. The one you linked to was 'Perfect for mid-to-high-torque applications such as bottom brackets, cassette lockrings, and crank bolts...

I was under the impression it's useful for stopping corrosion rather than a water repellant, but maybe it does both?: http://www.acf-50.co.uk/acf-50.htm i.e. apply it to components that might rust. The other angle is that if you want protection in the hub, you'll need something that doesn't...

The Draper ones with certification are OK - I have one. Just make sure you don't get the one that starts at 30Nm (the one in the blue case you linked to), which is for cars not bikes. You need something that will measure down to 5Nm or thereabouts.

You're correctly stating the bleeding obvious: nothing ever 'works for every app every time on every Android phone'. If you want that - buy Apple, and live safely restricted in their eco-system (because they know best, right?). I only have OnePlus and Samsung Android devices to hand right now...

It's background usage that's being optimised of course, which is a little meaningless for my camera app example above, but it's useful to know for other apps.

There are 3 or 4 dashcam apps for Android (that have 4+ stars or more*) which you can try. Most have ads and an option to purchase to get rid of the ads. Just search for 'dashcam app'. Two things I noted: - they assume you have a plug-in power source (see my note above about power banks as an...

Hmm, there's quite a bit I disagree with there. Here's my take: - batteries are getting bigger (because phone dimensions are generally bigger) - thinness makes no difference - they're lasting just as long as they ever did - power saving can be disabled app by app, or for the whole phone overall...

Agreed - and to the purchaser. I'm not happy with measuring a country by NIIP only. However, the last column - NIPP as a % of GDP - is a more realistic measure if just looking at finance, and we're not in a good shape there either.

This is a confusing post. You're suggesting: 1. buy British to decrease national debt 2. Canyon (and other 'closed' systems) are overpriced 3. Canyon's raw supplier has poor factory control 4. therefore we should buy cheaper 'open' components In summary, buy using these criteria: - British...
