CO2 cannisters and tubeless is not a good mix - the CO2 gas degrades the sealant over time. Fine to get you home, but you should then let the tyre down and fill with ordinary air.

The internal profile of a tubeless ready rim has a ledge around each edge for the tyre bead to seal on. Most tubeless rimes have spoke holes the same as any other, but they will come with thicker, 'tubeless ready' rim tape fitted. More or less any hybrid/mtb rim can be aet up tubeless, but the...

That makes two 'ringers' in this thread. Anyone care to go for the hat-trick?

As with much Cytronex stuff, this kit looks dear to me. More than £1,000 for a small battery front hub kit is a lot of money. https://www.cytronex.com/shop/c1-kit-uk-black-disc-brake-700c-32h-wheel?___SID=U/&___SID=U

The dongle does not 'tune' the motor in any way, it just bypasses the 25kmh cut off. Which means a dongled CX motor will feel a bit pokier than a dongled Active, just as non-dongled motors would. Of bigger concern will be range. You will struggle to get 60km from one charge hammering along at...

Agreed, but it is the LSE. I expect the OP is busy having a sit-in to protest about the inequalities suffered by Peruvian pearl divers. Freedom for Tooting!

Particularly if he calls it the Wisper Kudos.

Typical product engineer who doesn't grasp the fact the success of the product is 95% down to marketing.

Did the Kalkhoff provide enough assistance? They are quite perky, but no balls of fire, so if the answer is 'yes' a 36v hub motor would also suit. I like crank drives, but you would be restricted to a single chain ring at the front. A front hub motor is my suggestion. Grip on asphalt with...

It isn't relevant. Dangerous cycling is the action of the cyclist - you or I could cycle dangerously on a push bike at 10mph. Going faster will generally increase the likelihood of a crash, although I think we have all accelerated in a traffic situation to reduce the likelihood. Cycling...

It's not clear what you are trying to achieve. You say you want to make pedalling beyond the cut off easier, but also mention fewer pedal revolutions. Generally, fewer pedal revolutions would equate to harder pedalling. As a general point, changing the front ring on the motor is a simple job...

Chain enclosed by a Chainglider. All hub gears are very kind to chains because the chain is always in perfect alignment, is not scraped across a cassette, and the high line keeps the chain cleaner. Things for and against a belt, but given I get thousands of miles out of a £10 chain, a belt...

Coming up to 3,000 miles on my Charger/Rohloff. Fully reliable so far, which is usually the case. The range is famously wide, unlike other gear hubs which can be a bit limited. Obviously, it depends on the cogs, but on the Charger first is a good crawler gear and top would give 30+mph if I...

You've answered your own question. The most powerful legal bike you could get is the Sahel, followed fairly closely by the Bosch motor on the Tern, then you take your chances with Chinese hub motor bikes. Buying a biike with 20" wheels will help give extra torque. You could do worse than an...

Thank goodness not everything in life is cheap Chinese.

Mine was delivered to the UK, however that restriction note wasn't on the link when I ordered. For what it's worth, when the battery arrived it was well packed in a biggish box and not labelled as a battery. I wondered at the time if BikeDiscount was being a bit cheeky on the carriage front.

If you are marketing the bike elsewhere, it would be a good idea to remove the accessories, level the saddle, and drop the post a bit. Take a fresh picture with the both wheels straight, and the right pedal horizontal and pointing forwards. It's the same bike, but all the above makes a...

Tubeless ready rims have a ledge for the bead to seal on which can make removing the tyre difficult. Tubes and tubeless ready rims - as supplied on many bikes - is really the worst of both worlds. I've now gone tubeless, but before I used the large end of a wooden hammer handle to break the...

The dual battery is a factory fit, there's wiring and two keyed alike battery mounts. The software is also a bit different, in that - cleverly - the system sips alternately from each battery. Good for battery health, because as you may know it's not a good plan to leave an ebike battery fully...

The Panda kit - currently £275 - doesn't include a battery which would add as much again. The Nano kit is fitted very neatly, particularly the way the battery in a Brommie bag connects via the luggage block. No need for unplugging wires or extra faff when removing/installing the bag. Given...
