    Anyone ever tried to implement regenerative braking?

    I totally agree, notwithstanding the difference between San Francisco and New York or mid Wales to Southend i travel both scenarios, lotsamiles so watching carefully my ideal would be tiny lightweight front wheel one, add minimal “pull” uphill to my BBS crank motor, full regen down but this as...

    Half-ton electric bike poses latest threat to London pedestrians

    The word bicycle is using latin “bi” for two (wheels) Idiots saying “ quad bike ” only prove their ignorance this thing is not even close. perhaps like 250w or 48v “nominal” or rated, the number of wheels is no longer arbitrary?

    My new favourite battery

    Firstly, thank you all for your safety and legality concerns. UK legality unlikely, 11S is safe , push it to 12S but 13S is 54.6v, this one (14S) is 58.8v, unquestionably over 48v. Safety— the thing cost a lot, it’s not a generic cheap battery, close inspection shows incredible attention to...

    Well not eMTB I have 2 hybrids

    Au contraire I have no issue with Woosh charging for a sticker, actually I’d do the same, you are paying for his back up (both as sales receipt to prove your innocence and his advice and aftersales service), no-one can work for free. More importantly, consumers have the choice, I’ll admit to...

    Well not eMTB I have 2 hybrids

    Not a basic question at all Short answer, no, 80nm is 59lb/ft in English, about what you’d get from a 1970’s 1000cc twin cylinder motorcycle engine. Your buttons control input current and therefore input watts as explained above, with the proviso that your 10S (36v nominal) battery almost never...

    48V Battery

    Absolutely how I work, 6/1.436 Or 8.4/2.209 what was the question ? 3500 18650’s have their place, but dear 50E 21700 if space allows

    48V Battery

    I don’t think any of the keyboard lawyers would argue with that, My point was only that (Samsung) 21700 cells give you more w/hr per gram than 18650’s. Yes, wallet call but no going back once you know. Changed the game for me, my latest battery cost 75% of a complete Aldi ebike but takes me...

    48V Battery

    Massive, heavy, illegal and dangerous That’s what keyboard warriors said about mine. The illegal bit is true, 48v max, cop with voltmeter has you nabbed Difference being, mine was the most expensive thing I’ve bought for bicycle, more than my Giant dually, ready to convert, much more than...

    spare BBS02 casing?

    Maybe an early BBS02 ? OP didn’t tell us, but if yours are M5, thats not the same as mine, which are M6 (6mm x 1mm pitch) Easily heli-coiled although lower one is blind, so I’d have to take cover off to see if your method would work there. But if OP’s are M5, tap ‘em M6, job’s done Re price, if...

    spare BBS02 casing?

    That is seriously creative thinking BUT, why wouldn’t you just heli-coil it .? permanent and better than new, cheaper than chips too

    An innocent bystander’s viewpoint No dog in this fight at all, but I can see Lily has won. Local village id called her out, perhaps inadvertently or mistakenly. Lilly took him outside and corrected him, cool.
