Are you sure your forks aren't 100mm wide? My carbon fibre forks on my Trek FX 7.5 are 100mm wide - I've fitted a Tongxin motor to my. If your forks aren't 100mm wide but 83mm instead, google for a Cute 85 motor or look at Q85 36V 250W Front Driving V-Brake E-Bike Kit - BMSBATTERY

No - the majority of bikes are, and will continue to be, used for recreational purposes - even if commuting increased 10 fold. Tax evasions, including VAT avoidance, is one of the great banes currently facing our society. If we all want to benefit from a stable society (yes, I'm an outright...

:rolleyes: I think you'll find they already are. Section 60 of the highway code:- Section 59 deals with wearing a cycle helmet:- However "should" statements in the highway code are advisory and you cannot be prosecuted for not following them. "MUST" statements are mandatory.

Didn't go to work on it today as it was raining this morning so I've just been out on it to see what it's like to ride with the lower amp limit - verdict - success! Still accelerates well but it's now much harder to induce clutch slip (owners of Tongxins on throttle will know what I mean) and...

A few full stops, sentances, and paragraphs wouldn't go amiss either!

Quick update on programming the controller. Just tried the open source XPD software - found that 17a phase current and 7a current limit give me the desired 12a max reading on the Watt Meter - just as NRG suggested it might - cheers :-) and showed a max watt pull of 545watts. Same top speed...

Hi - it's a Lyen mini monster controller - I've set the phase current to 30 amps (the lowest it can go) and set the current limit to 12amps. I tried setting it also to 10amps but it still didn't change when on the road. Meh, I'll probably just leave it as it is and let it draw 16amps and use...

Quick update. I now have 150 miles on the bike - 7 commutes and a few "play" outings. I have adapted the brake switch to my rear brake lever and expoxied it in place (will post photos later) - not connected up to the controller yet - I'll do a few miles on the road to ensure the epoxy is...

Wow that was quick - so a report has come out already blaming excessive speed for the crash? :rolleyes: Sod that! I'd personally like to see the motorway de-restricted after say 10pm and before 5am with variable speed limits between those times depending on traffic flow and weather/road...

Parent and child - not mother and child. And they aren't there to give them less distance to walk, they are there to ensure you can get your kids in and out of the car without damaging cars either side with the car doors.

You don't need it on a bike. When your snot freezes, be careful!

Is the motor noisy?

Replace it - don't repair it. Remember what happens to a paper clip when you bend it back and forths a few times? I would ride with a handlebar like that - it's been stressed and may even have micro fractures - it could fail at any point.

Oh, I'm certainlt not saying £100 of lipo is comparble to £525 worth of ready packaged battery - but does a hard case, single charge method, construction and import duty really add £425 of value?

Not really - it's only 25.2 v so 454 watts (25.2x18). I have a Lipo pack of 444 watts (44.4*10) that cost £100 and weighs 2.8kg.

These SKS mudguards don't rattle.
