    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Unbelievably biased reporting about Merril Lynch ( American Bank and Investment managers) from Mail today. They reported ( accurately) that ML have given a warning on the fragility of Euro zone,s economy with special regard to wealth distribution ( Their point being little has been done to...

    Porformance drop off with lower battery %age.?

    And does the controller have the ability to provide longer pulses with diminishing voltage ? I,m struggling getting my head around fact that when fully charged motor is getting 42 v and yet by 25% its only getting 31v...I do realise brushless don't exactly follow normal rules but I,d expect...

    Porformance drop off with lower battery %age.?

    That's what I thought my Haibike does, but a couple of posters have different experience..

    Porformance drop off with lower battery %age.?

    And when battery gives 42v will that be the voltage applied to the motor ? ( assuming max load/max bars)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    T I definitely do, been saying for a while the remain contingent ( which must be at least 50% of voters now) are simply not represented. Even whilst supporting leave I thought it wrong such a large ( and probably growing) proportion of electorate have nobody expressing their views either in...

    Porformance drop off with lower battery %age.?

    So from 100% to 75% will give best power ? And what about from 75% to lets say 10% ? So in effect when bike asks for full power controller gives battery voltage to motor ??? Recently bought a brushless drill and it seems to give really good power , and just stops...rather than gradually...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Time to eat some humble pie... I was originally a leaver, then I was sort of unsure.....think the whole damn thing should be stopped now. I still think intrinsically Brexit is ( or could be ) an opportunity, if the government had had a plan for it , with some notion of where to go and how to get...

    Porformance drop off with lower battery %age.?

    A couple of posters have reported poorer performance when their batteries are hitting around 10%. Personally I have not experienced this until well below tho figure.( Sub 3 or 4% I have noticed a slight drop off) I was under impression with brushless motor and controller the working voltage (...

    New to this E MTB lark

    Must admit my hard climb is early on in ride ...from none electric days...get the climb done with...but I,ll experiment...Hills in Derbyshire are quite steep ...my hardest is I,d guess 18% for 2km...but I,ve pedelled up Pico Neulous in Southern France which is around a 3000ft climb in about 8...

    New to this E MTB lark

    I,ve not noticed any fall off in performance below 15%, infact on the one occasion I did see "1 mile" left it was still pulling fine...but I have noticed quite a reduction in range in very cold conditions. This winter planning on a neopreme cover for battery to see if that helps...

    New to this E MTB lark

    I,ve got Haibike Hard7 (27.5 wheels) Yamaha. Couldn't recommend it higher. No issues, and its done just under 2000 miles. ( recent new cassette, and chain, which returned gears to perfect) Wife has almost identical bike ( was a youths model so not sure of designation) Looks identical bur smaller...

    Suaoki 800A Peak Car Jump Starter 20000mAh

    Yep...and 5 would still be less powerful than Haibike 400w/h...so perhaps its not Haibike mark up...I suppose ( in theory) if the 74w/h of power can be utilised in 20 seconds or so there is easy enough power st start even a big engine...but I,ll bet unit will get rather hot if asked to do so..(...

    Suaoki 800A Peak Car Jump Starter 20000mAh

    Had a check through all specification... Unit is quoted as 74wh..which means the 20000 a/h is quoted at 3.7volts...not quite straight advertising but unit does its job...

    Suaoki 800A Peak Car Jump Starter 20000mAh

    I was totally amazed how this £60 tiny thing cranked over a 5.8 V8...must have been for 15 seconds or so by time it fired up...but I just cant see how for £60 it can possibly have 20ah battery and all its gubbins...If its the case its cheapest source for batteries I,ve found...

    Suaoki 800A Peak Car Jump Starter 20000mAh

    Just purchased one of these, didn't quite believe the blurb and considering price ( £60) wasn't actually expecting it to work as claimed... But at harbour yesterday a bloke with a 6 litre V8 ski boat and a flat battery, the little Suoaki started it no problems. Then about 2 hours later a chap...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not a lot of news about situation in Hamburg, that was until 75 police injured. Its been known for a good few weeks 100,000 anti capitalists protesters were expected to descend on Hamburg to coincide with meeting of Merkel, Trump etc... All is not well in Europe...petrol bombs, water canon and...
