? just use one of the sensors for the hydraulic brakes just not on the brake, glue a loop to a rare earth magnet, secure the sensor behind some steel in an accessible position and stick the magnet atop it. Use the loop and yank off the magnet in an emergency, and it will also serve as an added...

Good to hear, wishin you many many happy miles..

`Im sure the showers are much appreciated by those who need to do all the work cycling a distance ;), and rather than a replacement for insurance the lock box cost option could perhaps be considered an optional extra cost to further avoid the possible hassle of a theft. dont dismiss the 3rd...

Hang tight a week or so, its been a turbulent week or so for yose, another member reported receiving a recall notice from ebay for the yose kit he bought via them, which also started folk speculating. I suspect they are just holding off with any possibly sensitive sales in good faith to...

I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MID DRIVE MOTORS. However my hub drive will not cut out as soon as the pedaling stops but a few seconds later, touching the brakes with cut off sensors fitted cuts the motor Immediately!! I have also repaired a wheel that was in a rta without brake sensors, spokes were...

Where is @flecc ?? as this locking requirement from the insurer is a bit extreme is it "Reasonable" My lay understanding is things have to be reasonable in order to enable the forming of a contract ' meeting of minds' ?? tho i cant recall if that was judge judy or an actual basic law class...

Also while its called 'Pedal Assist' the way it works its more you assist the motor until it hits target speed at which point you take over completely or up the assist level/speed.

Start using the roads on 2 wheels especially at speed and you will soon know its not about how careful you are.. Staying 'legal' has little to do with plod confiscating bikes. Plod wont care until he has to after all. But has more to do with the inevitable conflict after a bump or scrape or...

Hi welcome, bikes lookin good there, hope you continue having the fun..

Depending on the controller used perhaps, but the general approach is to simply cap the speed for each level of assistance. KT controllers will allow you to limit power output instead but you would need to limit to or below standard ebike controller output levels to enable actual pedaling which...

5kg sounds about right @guerney , hefty is the word i would use..

Folk in here many far more expert and knowledgeable than myself can help guide you to the right kit for your needs just tell us what you want to do with the bike, miles expected to cover per day/battery charge, type of terain, hilly or flat, and any extra mass carried or towed? I can see a...

Hi Lee, I got 2 ask, what use case made you look at a 1500w direct drive hub motor? And which batteries are you considering? I ask as chances are there is a better performing geared motor requiring a significantly cheaper power pack that suits your needs?? (not that im an expert, but some in...

how many things re - mantled didnt have bits left over?? #1 rule for dismantling.. Never use a box with bottom flaps to keep screws/washers in on a strip down as something will always find its way under one of the flaps only to be discovered weeks later..

Battery covers are a con imho, is your next battery/spare going to be exactly the same size and fit too? I would bet a bigger battery is a probability.. the waterproof daysack cover seems like a premium solution and a day-glo colour would provide a multi use solution to what im using an old...
