BMS = Battery Murdering System I've never run a BMS and I've never had a problem. I did have has a cell go bad but my regular monitoring routine caught it before it became an issue. A BMS would have actually disguised the issue for a while, potentially creating an bigger problem.

I don't want to share that info, for obvious reasons. If you have a look at passive immobilisers for cars I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for though ;-)

I added up my payments and my £700 trek cost me £553 in the end inc final payment to transfer ownership. I was more interested in using the scheme as an interest free loan with no credit check ;-) I was going to get another bike but I retire on thursday (actually finish on tues as were on...

I think it means it can log GPS events to a memory card. Also, it looks like it only runs on a 12v source - so not suitable for direct connection to ebike batteries.

That's cheap? If that was my budget I'd be looking at something from Kudos .: Kudos Cycles - e-bikes with style :. Something like .: Kudos Cycles - e-bikes with style :.

That's ace - I want one! Although that might just be because it's lime green :D

I can't see any torque arems installed on the front forks - are there any?

I'm secretly hoping cycling DOESN'T take off in Blackpool anymore. I've been enjoying the prom almost to myself these last few years although I have noticed a few more mamils and strava louts out recently, esp after the olympics. Although the Strava thing is probably my fault - my alter ego...

Not safely - as that depends on the other motorists accepting thier responsibilities and acting safely - but it does tell you how to make the maneuver safer and how you can attempt to influence other motorists responses and actions when encountering a cyclist.

Now that's NICE! This could be the bike that tempts me into buying an off the shelf one.

That's an exceptional case and you know it is - like the old chap that died after he got knocked over by a pedestrian exiting a shop in a haste. We're not suddenly going to start saying untrained pedestrians are a menace and danger to everyone else are we?

I don't get this - incompetent cyclists on the road aren't really a danger to anyone else. I mean, they aren't going to be a danger to a cement mixer are they? We need better cycling infrastructure whereby incompetent cyclists can wheel their merry way with no danger to themselves.

How to backflip an ebike - YouTube Who's up for filming their attempt(s)?

What? I really hope English isn't your first language.

That d8veh - had a total brain freeze there!

The amp limit is adjustable.

Yes it would. But why would you pay £400 for that? A cheap £20 controller from BMS battery and one of those bluetooth inline thingines (for get the name) that links to your mobile for £65 will be the same.

https://static.shopify.com/s/files/1/0088/3362/t/1/assets/MEDKit_S_eBike_Controller_Brief_EN.pdf?407 Price is around £400 depending on exchange rates + taxes. Cool bit of kit but at 3Kw a bit powerful for a UK ebike build ;-)

To go travel at 15mph as opposed to 9mph you would require an approximate 3 fold increase in power output - approx 90watts (we're assuming a road type bike - it could be as high as 150 for a typical mountain bike). You will be looking at an energy expenditure of approx 90 joules per second...

Watts is an instantaneous and continous measurement - you can't time define it - if you want to say something like "per second" then you should use something like watt hours. My earlier reply said you need to apply a constant 30 watts to move a bicycle @ 9mph. I did not say "30 watts per...
