Nice lead :-) If I hadn't already made my own (which is nowhere near as elegant as your's) I'd have one.

Give an Anti Glare screen protector a go - only a few quid so worth a go. I hate screen protectors so haven't tried any to see if they work.

I'm always changing gear on my hub motor bike to get the right cadence. For example, if there's a head wind and I'm doing 22mph then I need gear 6, no wind and 24mph needs gear 7, tailwind and 27mph needs gear 8 and downhill needs gear 9. A litlle rise in the road and slowing down by a couple...

Well of course, the correct application of law requires a knowledge of said law, something which often evades the police and even magistrates (who have only basic legal training - court clerks are responsible for advising magistrates on points of law - but they only usually do that if the...

I don't think we've given different answers. We've just given our answers from a different perspective. How do you know it's not private land? Just becuase it's not surrounded by a fence and a locked gate doesn't mean it's not private. If you want to know if you are allowed to cycle on...

For criminal trespass there has to be "an intent to willfully damage or remove property" - I don't think that could be levelled at a cyclist simply riding down a public right of way footpath. Without that it's simple trespass, and police guidance states the first course of action is to inform...

Of course it does also depend on what kind of shift performance you're willing to accept. If I could live with the odd skip or slight hesitation in changing gear then my chains and sprockets would last 3x longer ;-)

4k miles is pretty good from a chain tbh, some of my off road bikes that get heavy use need new chains at 1k miles. KMC are good chains and reasonably priced - they are my preferred choice. A chain is £15 but cassettes are £30 so it makes sense to change a chain before it can damage the...

That article is dealing with a highways issue which is why is restricts itself to those footways (see :) ) under it's jurisdiction - there is different legislation dealing with public rights of way. But essentially you are correct - it is not an offence to cycle on a footpath (as in the public...

Please note - in the above post I'm only referring to the "public rights of way" footpaths/bridleways (marked by green dashes or red dsahes, depending on OS map scale). There are consessionary paths (marked by black dotted lines) and permissive paths (marked by orange dashes) - access to these...

The article you linked makes a mess of things by confusing the terms footway (i.e. a pedestrian area beside a road) and footpath (i.e. those marked on an OS map by short, regulary spaced dashes). You are not allowed to cycle on a footpath. Although that hasn't stopped me on paths that are...

Two of these. No need for a soldering iron - get one of these as well and cut one end off and fit a matching connector to whatever is on your controller.

Sparking is normal when connecting the battery - it's the big current inrush charging up thew controllers capacitors. You can make a pre charge lead if it bothers you, but at only 48v I wouldn't bother.

I had a couple of accidents on the road when I was younger but I managed to roll with them and avoid banging my head. Now I'm older and wiser I seem to be able to avoid accidents situations. Sometimes I go out with a helmet, sometimes I don't. Even if I'm going off road and I know the route...

Well you can - there was a guy selling them on ebay a few weeks back ;-) Oh, and the 350w marking on the BBS units are only stickers - it's amazing how easily they fall off ;-)

Should fit fine. Just to make sure, measure the distance between your rear drop outs - if it's 135mm (or withing a few mm) you're good to go.

We're also in the 2014/2015 model change over period - so if the 2014 models sold well (or they only made just enough) then we'll have to wait until the 2015 models land sometime at the end of August/throughout September.

There are various ways of fitting the switches to existing levers as well - a bit of latteral thinking, normally some Araldite and occasionally a Neodymium magnet and you're good to go - normally the only option if you have hydraulics and don't want to resort to an expensive Magura switch. Here...

It's got a direct drive motor that's why it's heavy.

I don't use a bike for exercise, I use it for fun, so an ebike is perfect and a normal bike wouldn't be as much fun.
