    Is it practical ?

    My own experience is no, which is why is so important to go somewhere reputable that will replace a faulty battery under warranty.

    What happened to the Heinzmann Directpower hub motor?

    It was launched at Eurobike 2010 and there are a few scant details on the Heinzmann website. No-one seems to be selling it and there are no technical details that I can find apart from its a direct drive brushless hub motor. It should be a quality bit of kit coming from Heinzmann, any-one...

    BEBA Survey

    Done but 1) I live in East Anglia (I ticked south east rather than midlands) 2) I hardly use the throttle at all, only in two places on a 30 mile round trip, pulling away from a set of traffic lights and starting on a junction that is uphill. (I ticked never as I do not routinely use it to...
