The reason bike brakes will self bleed (usually) is because air is lighter than brake fluid and will always try to find the highest point. Sometimes with rear brakes you have to put the bike on an angle in a bike stand so that the hose runs consistently upwards, sometimes you need to rotate the...

Any progress?

Neither of which are in Austria ;-) Innsbruck certainly has more 'commuter' type bikes but again the only electric ones I have seen are OEM mid motor. Maybe in somewhere like Vienna where there is a higher migrant population there may be more kit type bikes or maybe because electric scooters are...

On that day I would agree but I also see lots of people commuting on OEM mid motor bikes.

I'm just over the border in Austria, there may be some kits in Germany and possibly here but they are overwhelmed by the sheer number of OEM bikes. I did a short 15 mile unpowered ride with my wife on Thursday which was a bank holiday here. In that time we must have seen hundreds of thousands of...

I mainly see OEM mid motor bikes locally whether on road or off, the only hub motorbikes I see are older OEM mountain bikes. If I go on the Inn valley cycle route I see some but not many OEM hub motor bikes. Most of the hub motor bikes are 'Dutch style'. Apart from the odd tourist with a...

How did you find the registration process? Or did you just build an illegal motorbike that will get you ponts on your licence and a conviction for no insurance, or maybe you have access to private land where no public is allowed.

Actual murder as he hit a 16 year old innocent bystander.

They do, after making a permanent repair cover any repairs with heatshrink, maybe 2 layers then use self amalgamating tape over the whole lot.

I have seen the aftermath of an explosion with lead acid batteries, they go off with quite a bang.

To me it reads more like a connector at the motor. Still wouldn't use a Wago for anything other than testing even if it is inside a controller box

I know that is what he wrote originally, I was more concerned that as you had already tested with terminal blocks you were then going to fit Wagos.

OK I will rephrase that. Wagos rely on the current carrying conductor to retain it in the connector. The insulation is not retained as it should be in an automotive connector. Any connector that is subject to vibration should have secondary retention either through mechanical clamping of the...

Wago connectors are only good for testing. They have no mechanical cable retension and aren't designed for applications where vibration / movement is present.

They are returnable here so would cost me €0.25, not that I would ever use one for such a purpose in the first place.

You don't need gears, if the problem is really the clutch / bearing it will more than likely be a fairly standard part with a part number on it (probably on the back). The people who make parts like this don't normally get parts custom made, it is much cheaper to use off the shelf parts unless...

I'm pretty sure the clutch / bearing will be available from a bearing supplier.

That 'bearing' is the clutch.

You do realise off road use means private land that the public has no access to. Bridleways, footpaths, cycle tracks, common land etc are not included in this description and would lead to fines, points on licence charges of no insurance etc that could have serious consequences if you do have a...

Mine too, I cringe every time I see it.
