    New chain !

    I've put a lot more mileage on my hub motored bikes (don't tell @saneagle ) and I use this for more off road when it gets very steep and/or very rough ground. Just checked the odometer - 1376 miles

    Inner tube recommendations

    Is there something sharp stuck in the tyre that is puncturing the inner tubes (feel inside of tyre with fingertips). Don't think different inner tubes will help. Are you using a puncture resistant tyre ?

    An awkward question!

    As far as I know "twist and go" throttles are illegal, except for when they have a limit of 6km/h or unless you register the bike with the dvla. However, I have heard people talk about throttles where you have to pedal to start the motor assist, but then you can continue using the throttle...

    Bafang bbs02 not turning on

    Thanks, I will take a look. You can buy the "handlebar mounted power +/- button pad" separately. I ordered the display and button pad but I will try just the new button pad to see if that was the problem. If it is I have a display spare !

    Bafang bbs02 not turning on

    Hi all, (3 year old) Bafang bbs02 not turning on I have checked the green 5 pin connection. From the controller to the display and there is 54.4v between P+ and ground so I think it must be something to do with the display ? P850c display with separate power +/- button on the handlebar

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    There's a great tool here (from 2012) allows you to post your own temperature reconstruction, you can choose adjusted or unadjusted data, urban, semi rural or rural stations and area of influence (as in reality data from stations within 1200km of each other are highly correlated) Could...

    Folding bike for weekend cruising

    Woosh kit is great and they are very helpful, Yosepower kits are good. That Carrera intercity conversion kit was from topbikekit, I bought a 20" hub motor wheel and then specified the controller / pas sensor / LCD. If you need any assistance choosing just ask here. I think it might be cheaper...
