Hehe!

Read an article earlier about an interesting cooperation between Bafang and Brose and Hi-Tech Energy. It can be found at BIKE EUROPE <CLICK HERE>. Standardisation could help to bring battery prices down, but is this the way?

Beautifully succinct. It's becoming clear this question is asked a lot and is explained in many different ways, but this summaries the best.

A guy over the road from me imported an electric scooter from the states. He had to take it to our neatest centre on the south coast of England in Southampton, he was back and forth a number of times for really silly little things, having to hire a van each time. He said it wasn't an easy...

Beautifully put, and quite agree. In off road situations i find it allows for a different style of technical riding where a short burst of throttle on a narrow or the summit of a very steep section achieves a fluidity of riding I wouldn't otherwise be able to achieve. Down hill rooty sections...

It seems many, me included, have at times struggled to interpret the regs correctly, where and when they apply, how they apply, when it changes/changed and so on. The throttle is not a deal breaker, it just seems to have it place in certain applications. Working with a multi-assist level...

Brilliant. Thank you, I will do.

Thank you flecc, really appreciate your explanation. Had to read it a few times.... ;P I'm as much for safety as I am against discrimination; allowing loads of loons on 3kw rat bikes would not be clever. Sensible people can be responsible for themselves and each other and are the majority...

The current reason for GB retaining throttle use option up to 25kph strikes me as odd.... Why would "disabled and elderly people" be considered for only a two year period, then left to try and tackle longer distances and steep hills solely with pedal assist thereafter? Is it anticipated that...

About £40. Should be good strong ring but proofs in the pudding. Well worth seeing what they're like anyway. Cheers Darren

Hi, I have recently been offered some nice looking 7075 T6 aluminium chainrings specific to the BBS01/02 from a new supplier. They are 36 tooth direct mount on to the bafang motor (like a smaller less dished Lekkie) and have a narrow wide tooth formation. Whilst I am more than happy with the 42...

I posted this somewhere so apologies if this duplicates the info, but here's a company in the UK with small size tubes of Mobilgrease28 for £16 + shipping. https://www.silmid.com/products/mob2800400-mobil-grease-28-390gm-cartridge-mil-prf.aspx Rapid delivery and the best I've found. Friend's who...

Could a little coating of dielectric silicone grease on the terminals help protect? http://www.w8ji.com/dielectric_grease_vs_conductive_grease.htm

Well I figure that was 1st Jan 2016, it'll come out in the wash during the year give or take a bar or two..

Oh dear, I ate two whole bars!

Whereas previously I would shy away from the bike during periods of awful weather, the pedal assist nullifies most and waterproofs and warm gloves does the rest. As others have said, catch a good tailwind and there's a lot of fun to be had, especially along the seafront. I don't turn Strava on...

Does look like a good giggle, although conditions wise pretty 'orrible and doubtful any better this year!

That'll be here now I remembered the link: https://www.silmid.com/products/mob2800400-mobil-grease-28-390gm-cartridge-mil-prf.aspx

Some of the recommended greases are rather difficult to procure in small quantities as discovered above. Reasonably easy to acquire, thus the substitute for secondary gear top up, the Mobilgrease 28 is available here for £16.06 for 390 gram tube. :)
