Would probably take me 30 minutes longer to get to work though ;)

Yes, its a 15 mile run, I charge every day when i get to work. Occasionally I have ran out of juice on the way in and had to do all the work for the last mile.

That looks great...pics ive seen of those, the guard doesnt come nearly as far back to cover the whole tyre o_O

I did try to extend the ones I have at the back with an old mudguard, but it looked a total mess so gave up. That one you have there looks a bit longer and may do the trick

Well, ive been hunting round to fins some decent mudguards, but so many to choose from, i thought id ask here. Currently I have these, which did well until the winter really kicked in and the paths to work turned into 3 inches of wet mud, or 3 inch water pools...

Yes, saved my bacon a few times already Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I had exactly the same thing happen the other morning. Saw him coming up in my mirror he was indicating left...sure enough he cut right in front of me. I had slowed down a bit as I saw it coming. Best thing was it was most likely a copper on his way to work turning into the police hq. I wasn't...

Im sure I read somewhere that the stealth meter for some reason doesnt show that...it shows how much drain you are putting on the battery based on your current load.....which is totally pointless really. My old greenedge CS2 was much better at indicating what was left, and did work like you say.

Sorry to drag this up again, but after reading another thread about battery levels, it looks like a voltage drop of 1 volt is 10% of capacity gone....in which case, why dont these LCD's have a half decent "range left" display on them? It cant be that hard surely? Maybe there is a way to DIY...

Wow. That was some scary moment. I dont know what was worse, the fact that it happened or the response about having a problem with his eyes! Think Ill be sticking to the cycle paths and tracks a lot more rather than saving a mile by going on the main roads. Glad to hear you are okay.

Now i really am getting confused....Im pretty good with mechanical stuff. can even rebuild a car engine, but when it comes to electrics, I am at a loss. Ill have a google later, see if i can get my head round it all, appreciate the advice though :)

Thats good to know, thanks very much...it has confused me a bit though...if its used 53%...doesnt that mean I could get another 47% out of it?

I know the overall feeling is that my battery is okay, but I thought I would post these results hopefully to confirm it... Start voltage was 54.4 14.5 mile commute, took 56 minutes. Its a pretty flat journey along part dirt track, canal path and a couple of miles on average condition roads. A...

Problem is my C2W scheme only goes up to £1000 so nowhere near enough to buy something like that or this which i stumbled on which looks like a bargain http://www.50cycles.com/electric-bikes/speed-e-bikes/endeavour_bs10_400wh.html

I wish there was a way to make the lcd readout at least get close to capacity remaining on the battery...its pretty useless in its current format. Cant see anything in the manual, although I might set it so that I cant pull away using the throttle, and so force myself to use my legs....that may...

Looks like that bike would suit my needs down to a tee...maybe one to look out for next year ;)

Thats great, thanks. Might be a couple of days as manflu has started to kick in :(

That gives some interesting results, thanks Rob. I would say im not getting quite what i should be from the battery after playing around with it a bit

Is there a way I can check that with a standard multimeter? I have one, but dont really know how to use it, apart from to test for voltage

Variable speed really, along the off road paths probably around 19 to 20, on the road stretches, around 17. All depends on the wind and the weather. I have studded tyres on at the moment too, which dont help the cause either I guess. I do put a fair amount of effort into it too, but not so much...
