I was making the assumption that France has specific s-pedelec laws. As I understand it in the UK we have to fit s-pedelecs into moped legislation - hence the virtual impossibility of registering self builds. I thought some European countries had a specific s-pedelec law that made the process...

I must admit I was only thinking about electric cars - I forgot about pedelecs as a source of taxation - too small in numbers (at present!)

Road pricing is the likely way forward, especially when Internal combustion engines are no longer the majority form of propulsion. Governments will no longer receive petrol tax & will not want to restrict the take up of electric motors by taxing them, so a road usage tax will be proposed as the...

If the French allow s-pedelecs I would have thought it would be easier for riders to use those procedures than dongle an underpowered motor. I am assuming that as s-pedelecs are legal then insurance is readily available & cheap, & that the process of registration is quick & probably tax exempt...

I believe that several European countries allow S-pedelecs but I guess from the French law that it does not.

I thought I would try to look at this from a calculation rather than emotive view point. the only bicycle stopping website I could find https://www.exploratorium.edu/cycling/brakes2.html No options to allow for different types of brakes nor weight of bike/rider but it does offer a speed...

What is it like pulling a bike trailer? I've filled my panniers with so much weight that its hard to keep the bike upright, but as soon as you start to move you don't notice any difference

I use my ebike as an alternative rather than a replacement to the car. When I need the abilities the car offers I borrow one, other than that for the last 8 years the bike has been my primary transport. Before that I was a company car user, so I had no history of cycling. I hope that if enough...

How do we get the politicians to take an interest in what at the moment is a niche form of transport, but with climate change it has the ability to get people of of their car & get some exercise (win/win0?

Agreed for the circumstances that a car is best for Multiple occupants long journeys heavy/large loads But I was thinking about the current users of scooters - sole riders/ no luggage I think they might have a place as part of the personal transport options. I was just thinking what that might be

Looking at this from an overview I would say up to 1/2 mile walk up to 1 mile scooter up to 10 mile bike Very rough & ready & needs to be altered to suit abilities, but anything is better than simply replacing the current ICE car with an E car. I would suggest that e scooters would need to be...

Could you post a link or picture to what you are describing?

Julet Cable extensions...

I too switched to On-One Geoff Handlebar & needed an extension. Mine was for the on/off/power level select switch. I needed a 4 pin male female Julet Cable...

It was on mine https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/intermittent-fault-on-battery-causing-loss-of-power.35875/#post-533965

following the link to Bike EU shows lots of companies making integrated motor/drive units - but mostly pre-production. So possibly a few years yet before they start appearing for sale on bikes.

I can not see the post showing the distance but if it was 3 miles then at 15mph that would take 12 minutes, whereas if he used a high powered kit & managed an average 30mph he would save 6 minutes. But I think he said it was not all hills so the 250w would be increased by his leg power on the...

I used to leave my bike at the train station all day - I suggest camouflage - search online to see the results of making a bike look distressed. Does your station(s) offer lockers where you could leave the battery/saddle. What distance commute/road surface/elevations are you looking at

After consideration I have been using 3 d locks - one for each wheel & one for the frame. Get the thickest possible shank, as that is the bit that will be cut. Don't worry about the extra weight (that's why you have electrical assistance) or the few extra seconds to fit all three - its quicker...
