Good. Only with proper analysis of the risks posed (both by the rider and to other people) can we then decide on proper usage requirements. Although I take any report written by a Motor Insurer on cycling issues with a pinch of salt :p

A really easy way to up the speed AND the torque on a 36v ebike is to substitute the battery for two 6s lipo packs and wire them in series (44.4v). 95% of all 36v controllers will accept a 12s lipo pack. Just be aware that you'll lose the LVC and do some research into looking after and...

And the wrong type of members at that - at least if we want to further our cause, rather than meekly accepting the status quo.

That's not a throttle though is it? It's an infinitely adjustable power level control. The new Tongxin kits have exactly this type of control.

3 phase brushless motor of brushed motor? 3 phase brushless Bevel gear,s ? Mix - straight cut and beveled. Maintenance, ie: grease nipples, end float adjustment etc? Units are not user serviceable - they are effectively sealed units. Can...

I don't know if it's the photos but I can't see any torque arms fitted?

What evidence do you have to provide that a motor complies with BS? Is a court going to send the bike - controller, battery and motor - off for testing? What if any of those components were damaged in the accident? Assuming I'm corpus mentus at the time of the accident it'd be quite easy for...

Meh, my brain hurts when I try to find the sum of 2 + 2 so I prefer not to think about more complicated things :-)

So, the puniest motor commonly available has a motor rated at twice the legal max if using the BS standard. I can only imagine it would be quicker to walk than to use a motor than actually confirms to the BS standard? This alone confirms it's all a load of bull. It also raises the point that...

0.5watt leds :-) Even my rear light only draw 1.5 watts on low and 3 watts on high. 12watt leds would be insane on a rear light!

My Trek came with something similar and can confirm they are very comfy.

The batteries on that site come with a bag.

It's about 500lm, not 1200 ;-) Also the batteries that come with magicshine and cheap DX knock offs are utter garbage - simply paralleled then series'd together with no balancing whatsover - leading to poor life and an actual real fire risk upon recharging. You can either go for a good...

This is why I bought a kit and fitted it to a good bike - I just couldn't get what I wanted in an off the shelf bike. The nearest was Cytronex but the battery was too small and I'd have had to spend £2k+ to get a bike equivalent to my £1100 home build.

I'll see what I can do ;)

AEG are supposed to be launching a retrofittable crank drive kit soon. Endless-sphere.com • View topic - AEG drive

So did mine ;-) But as I'm not a business it didn't qualify for exemption.

He's been cleared of mansalughter. Yes, but only one is a dead loser right? :rolleyes:

I've just lost an hour watching the other videos that guy has - brilliant! I want a go on his wall of death - on my ebike!
