    Impulse engine exchange

    Hi flecc Just to add to your info stash, I have received 250 watt motor and have fitted it and as far as I can tell all works well with the exception of the gear power shift switch ( no connection on replacement motor ) and the lights which were directly from motor, and no connection for those...

    Impulse engine exchange

    Hi flecc. Just to keep you informed I've purchased a 250 watt motor from Germany and got it quite cheap, also I've been in contact with someone who has reviewed Impulse motors stripped them and it seems a few cheap bearing changed now and again could be an answer. I'll keep you informed on how I...

    New Legal Speed Limit: What should it be?

    New Legal Speed Limit: What should it be?

    Hi flecc pulled this out of Cycling Weekly magazine. I was just giving my opinion on throttle control as those I ridden didn't give me the feeling of control, I suppose it's down to personal taste, the same article also gave an opinion on any leeway on speed allowed but according to gov UK web...

    New Legal Speed Limit: What should it be?

    Having ridden an s class and a 15.5 mph bike back to back plus I'm normally a touring cyclist and have been using ebike to help with injury I will say that it's not the 15.5 limit which is wrong it's the way the power drops off. I suppose my normal touring speed with camping kit would be 12-14...

    Impulse engine exchange

    That could be an option but it's 4 years old and I've ridden it off road and given it some stick with no problems, it doesn't owe me anything and if it did go wrong I could break it as it has good cycle parts on it and I couldn't see it returning the value of the bits. I'm just feeling the lay...
