    With the Zefal Dooback 2 you can fold it in 90degrees for when you have to navigate a narrow path for example. It's last part of my routine when I get on bike (mount battery, turn on battery, turn on controller, check PAS is 1, check ebrake LED comes on, reset odometer the finally adjust...

    You have posted 14 times on this thread not ONE comment addressing the OPs question, it's you that's 'filling the forum with utter gibberish'. You made you pov clear early on, others disagreed, deal with it, stop hijacking threads with your woke comments or better start you own thread.

    So you're going to wade in more on someone else's thread with your irrelevant rhetoric, at least have the courtesy to start your own thread so we can ignore it...

    Two peas in a pod, the OP asked a specific question and he got some specific answers however there will always be sad 'do-gooders' that the feel the need to jump in on other peoples threads with the same boring tedious chat again and again and again and force their interpretation of the 'law'...

    I have a zefal dooback grip one on RHS, works OK but is easily knocked which isn't a bad thing, I find it more useful than not so it's still on bike. See this thread: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/mirrors-or-not.45795/#post-688143

    For sure my bike can go 'fast' (if 30mph is fast to you), however show me one sentence in a post where I go on about being a speed merchant, or um being jesus,....I say pretty much the opposite, I ride with care as I cannot afford another bike crash at my age. Anyway, school holidays are over...

    ? So why were they jailed, for dangerous driving, endangering life etc? Post a link so we can understand. 'Not on e-bikes either' That comment implies you expect it should be ebikes 'dangerous driving, endangering life etc', when the reality is most is lycra fuds in town at speed are the...

    Certainly, all my local cycling clubs are CTC affilliates and you can't ride without joining. Lol, you've made the SAME point multiple times above (I just re-read the thread), you don't like stuff that's 'not legal', fine, that's how you roll and I wish you no malice, however we all roll a...

    'for pretty much all'.... Hmm, so not all then, you're basing this on what? Sounds made up to me...I imagine most Lycras aren't in cycling clubs...else running in to bunches of them cycling like fannies and blocking traffic for miles on 'fun runs' would happen more often... What rubbish, did...

    Well I appreciate your concern for me :cool: however I still believe that the lycra mob are way more dangerous than your average ebiker when out and about...how many of them have insurance? As I said I potter about mainly, if there is any possibility of hitting anyone then I'm going at walking...

    I agree with the points made above, just because I can go at 30mph doesn't mean I go around at that speed, most of time I'm pottering about with my son. The Sinnis 125 and Cypher electric look like decent alternative options for the money, how anyone could spend £2,500 on an ebike is beyond me...

    Max amps

    Continuous current - this is the current that you're motor will run happily at all day long as long as you have power and typical for normal use on flat roads. Peak current - this is the max current that you can push through your motor when you require short term power, for example going up a...

    I get the limiting to 15.5mph however can a 250W motor with no limiting on controller really provide enough torque to get a bike+rider up to 22mph never mind 30mph and maintain that speed not at peak current draw? What about hills....? Only really ever ridden my own ebike so have little to...

    Top bloke, I used his 'cold set' method using a baseball bat to widen the dropouts on my build so the rear hub would fit. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html Quite an interesting read re using mainly front wheel brakes, I will mess with what he states when next out on ebike.

    I made what I think is a suggestion that is not unreasonable, for example in Denmark (and other EUs) they allow 28mph in bike lanes, you don't think the Danish (apart from maybe the Dutch), are way ahead in terms of cycling culture/knowledge than UK? That type of a response usually means you...
