Ok so a yes and no answer, you can't change the torque the motor makes but changing gearing would slightly alter the torque at the back wheel.

The answer is still no regarding torque, I used to have a Carrera with the ALP motor and found it fine around the hills in the Peak District until I was seduced by a great deal on a Specialized Creo which has only 35Nm but weighs less than 14kg.

No is the answer to that question, you could de- restrict the 15.5 mph cut off but that would make the bike illegal and render the warranty void. Ps it is a really nice looking bike.

I think you are being a bit liberal with the truth here, First of all you say it is a long story you won't go into, Then you say David promised he would sort the problem when in reality he knew nothing about it according to his post, Finally you state you didn't post on here until they ignored...

I think you need to be a bit more pro-active, you have waited nearly a year for its return according to what you say and haven't bothered phoning again because you say they got upset. So instead of keep phoning again and dealing with them direct you joined this Site and your first post was to...

1800 seems a lot with the bike putting out 70nm, I change my chains between 1000 and 1500 miles especially as it is not very expensive.

Totally agree this is where the thread gets bogged down as there needs to be statistics on how many lives helmets save.

You can try.

In your case it appears so....

Only if you crash while not wearing a helmet......

No it is not, cycle helmets do not reduce deaths and serious injuries. Indeed there is clear evidence that they increase those. I haven't the time at this moment but I will be presenting a thread in the Electric Bike forum showing why that is and why the government is so determined not to...

The only way to determine the advantage or disadvantages of helmet wearing would be to show statistics of head injuries in accidents where the rider died or suffered a head injury caused by a blow to the head. You can't compare Holland to England or other countries to each other as the culture...

None of your figures show that helmets cause more deaths in an accident than without as you stated previously which is the point being made.

Actually your figures are totally wrong Holland had the most cycling fatalities in Europe in 2016 followed by Denmark and Germany EU countries with the highest percentage of bicycle fatalities in 2016 were the Netherlands (19%), Denmark (15%) and Germany (12%). In contrast, e.g. in Greece...

Totally agree the only data to prove this would be data showing head injuries of people who hit their head in an accident while wearing or not wearing a helmet.

I think the problem is people like to think they have made the right choices and whether they have or haven't they don't like it when others intimate they may be wrong or ill advised ( I include myself in this) hence they get very defensive.

So you were riding your illegal bike at a ridiculous speed and a blinding light at someone and they are in the wrong, and you come on here bragging about it, Try taking a step back and see how foolish you appear....

Then show me the so called facts and as for pushing my views I am simply stating my opinion as is my right.

You have just said it again, you contradict yourself once again and until you show this alleged evidence your argument is moot.

Obviously that was an example in response to you saying helmets cause more serious deaths and injuries, which is one of your false statements!
