So you should know what you’re talking about… but pretty telling that my first conversion/build is incomparably better than your 50th! Seeing as you should know what you’re talking about, I assume it’s a combination of laziness and arrogance that leads you to the ‘don’t do it like that, do it...

Eh up, here’s the first of the sycophants… Why are they the experts? Who says they’re experts? Where are their qualifications or expertise? If you search through the thousands of worthless posts and find pictures of their own bikes they’re bodged together pieces of crap. They have to answer...

I’m not gonna get drawn in to your bullying again… but guy pops up and says he’s done something and then is attacked by a bunch of people who haven’t… Whether he has or hasn’t… who cares?? It’s not worth being nasty about. Not that I’m even remotely interested, as I don’t have a throttle on...

Errrrr no. Evidence? This is not a court... ....and you don't tell me what to do! I will read peoples posts and make up my own mind if I believe them to be credible or not. That applies to everyone! I'm minded to believe Voltsnamps has acheived what he says he has...

Everytime someone new pops up on this forum, the old hands berate them and arrogantly dismiss their opinions/findings. It happened to me, and I've seen it happen to a handful of other people in the same time. Saddening....

‘Fixie’ rear wheel with belt drive to mid-drive that is discreetly integrated into the frame. Mid drive of about 750W with a built in CVT, regen braking, torque sensing. 20Ah battery discreetly built in to the frame with onboard charger and fast charging available from a public car charger...

Buy the proper socket and do it up with a torque wrench? Mine hasn’t moved at all in 2000 miles and 18 months. I think the socket was about £30. I've lent it to a mate for him to do his too, if you’re local you can borrow it!

In our house we have about 6 bikes… some have hydraulic brakes, some have rim brakes, some have cable operated disks. All of them work just fine and if squeezed hard enough can lock up the wheels… I don’t think any of them have ever needed any maintenance at all… If any, it’s the hydraulics...

I’d be happy to help… post up some pictures of your frame and motor fitment? These things do need to be considered properly when selecting a frame and motor combination… if you just go with what you’ve got then it may be fundamentally wrong and only minor fettling possible. With my project, the...

The biggest factor to the weight of a bike is the rider. An e-bike is 10kgs at most more than a normal bike, whereas the rider can vary by 50kgs and yet when designing the bike this will be within the envelope for the brakes. People were competing at the tour-de-France with rim brakes not that...

Haha, exactly like you! Every single topic on here you have to chime in and say ‘don’t do it like that, do it like this because I say so’ with no reasoning or explanation at all. If anyone has anything different from what you have then it’s categorically wrong… torque sensing, mid-drive etc...

What a load of shite… instead of just stating your opinion as fact as usual, can you back this up with some reasoning and evidence? There are millions of bikes with cable disk brakes and all the major brake manufacturers make them. Are you saying they’re negligent and the riders are going to...

Could be interesting to put your route in the regen sim and see what it says.... One of the grin videos about regen makes an interesting point which is that unless you're in a race, you are wasting a lot of energy by going doing hills as fast as you can because overcoming the wind-resistance...

It’s interesting we do all these things subconsciously when squeezing the two levers. I’m assuming the regen firmware would also implement ABS which is incredibly effective.

You can put it on the rear… it’s on the rear in one of those videos. I know on a car most of the braking is done at the front but is that really the case on a bike? The weight/CoG is much higher on a bike… put it this way if I could chose which brake to fail on a steep hill I’d pick the front...

....because it's a prototype and still under development? I recognise that people like Grin have the time, money, facilities, expertise to develop it more than I do. When they're available off the shelf, then I might well buy one. Obviously you don't need to because you know all the answers...

Yep, that will work really well overnight. Or perhaps cycle in the night, and sleep during the day. Better for traffic too.

What a great video and an exciting bit of innovation. Some really neat tricks there. I'd encourage anyone sceptical to watch it: And to experiment with one of their common routes in the simulator to see if regen works for them: https://ebikes.ca/tools/trip-simulator.html It's over 10% on my...

What use is that if you’re on a week long cycle tour, camping?

OK! What brings you to a power-assisted bicycle forum if you feel so strongly? Unrefined power assisted bicycles are ok? But once they're refined they lose pleasure? The whole point of those developments is to make the pedelec lighter, smoother, more reliable, more natural to ride, so hopefully...
