I had a regular cyclist the other day get mad and try and talk down electric bikes. He was pissed I stayed in front of him for 6 miles without pedaling hard. He called me a cheater.. lol :wink: My answer to the your a cheater statement is no driving a car is cheating! ha ha, using an electric power...

I agree even if Lance was doping at the time so many of the other riders were as well that he was still better even if he was doping,I dont think they should strip him of his titles unless they can prove it, its unfair IMHO and I still have a massive amount of respect for a person who can almost die...

It annoys me in the same way, usually because car drivers don't realise that I'm usually going to out accelerate them away from lights, especially if I'm ahead of them on the cyclists ASL at the lights, so they then need to overtake me properly when they catch me up, not just drive me into the gutt...

Yep This happens to me all the time too, it seems car drivers dont seem to expect that a cyclist might overtake another cyclist? in the UK they are supposed to give a cars width when they overtake so the driver must be in the wrong here, I generally dont get the hump with drivers that pull out on me...

Yes I am thinking either rotor magnet damage or a piece of something between the rotor and the stator, should be fairly obvious by splitting the drive but understand thats not for everyone to go ahead and do, maybe contact the supplier.

it will most likely be the one way bearing or possibly the rotor as it only makes a sound when the motor drives.

yup! datz nutz

you can do it all in youtube if you need to, just upload the clip then go to the video manager and enhancements, youtube will fix it all up for you

yup..if you are concerned go with silicon grease

the attack on the gears will only come from how he uses the throttle, I have gouped all my motors in std engine grease for over 5 years or so with no probs, the one way bearings tend to be the weak spot from my experience, too much grease isnt good though

you can use any grease to be honest, you dont need much though less is more nylon gears are self lubricating anyway but a little dab of grease is a good idea.

Just my 2 cents here I think that 30mph on that bike is more than fast enough, to get your speed up and over 35mph it requires a significant increase in power and trust me cars will still pass you even when you are doing 35mph! it makes no difference cars see a bike and they think overtake...overtak...

Crikey Thats a First! Never seen that done in the UK before and fair play for doing so too, if it were me though It would have to be the cromotor in there to make all the hassle worthwhile a 9C with a 3 position power switch and a 250W sticker is all you need in the UK and as long as you keep peddli...

awesome!! and yes it was hot I did 100 miles on my ebike over the 2 days! was great fun looking forward to hearing how you get on

Yes welcome to the club! was back in 1990 I got my first EV grin! :lol: the grin gets bigger the more power that you put in (to a point) ha ha dont make your bike unreliable! he he. Glad you bike is up and running enjoy it! and also enjoy making it go faster and further, its very addictive! stick wi...

Just buy some more copper wire and rewind the one that is shorted. Surely it cant be that hard to do? I dunno just thought id add my 0.02 worth in Scruff :lol: maybe if you are time rich and cash poor...Greg is the inverse of this although if his ebikes keep breaking he is going to be both! Sorry t...

great looking machine!! have fun and post some videos of your rides if you can

Awesome mate you work really fast too!! cant wait to see the finished article

It does do 1080P although I havent tried that mode yet as my card isnt fast enough :? I need a class 6 or higher, funny though as I use that card on the Gopro at full res, the Gopro isnt quite as fussy and maybe more efficient video wise, for use in the car I dont need 1080P thogh as 1280 x 720 is f...

The video from them isnt bad to be honest its just the price is too high still for me esp when the Gopro and the Drift have come right down in price and there is a lot of competition in this market now, its also a huge growth market too, Gopro are by a very long way the leaders in this tech, you see...

Although the weather was terrible the queens Jubilee barge battled its way down the cold and blustery Thames hiding a hidden secret!

The Problem with the RD32 is the Codec it uses on the video side its terrible,buggy and not supported by hardly any video editing programs meaning you have to convert the clips (if you can) to something suitable first (check the techmoan review of this camera on youtube) you can pick up a Gopro HD h...

Ha ha yes I know I cant watch it but my kids love it!! I think the original farm owners had already had enough of the attention else I am sure the program makers would have pushed for some kind of park, I much prefer it how it is now, the house was a real house though and all the internal shots of t...

I think the theme they were trying to portray there was nothing more than displaying what we were once like during the start of the industrial revolution, I will agree though that at times the ceremony was a little over the top but then many are arent they. My point is just that it seems ridiculous ...

Meh :roll: Watching the olympics and dumfounded that they use a stinky old 2 stroke motorbike ( A Derny Bike) as the pace bike to lead out the riders? WTF in a closed velodrome OK I know on the scale of the place its not going to kill anyone but any on the builds on here would do the job? The Olympi...
