    I was just wondering if for a casual electric bicycle rider a single spoke mounted wheel light at 33g with 1 x aaa battery placed will unbalance the wheel (700c size) to cause any noticeable negative effect for casual general riding. Just comparing some basic spoke lights, there are smaller...

    Impossible? Lifepo4 charging with small solar panel?

    I am thinking of getting an ebike kit in the future and I just wanted to ask, say if you go on a long trip and the battery goes flat, is there no way to unroll a 50 - 100w solar panel and add some more charge to the battery over a couple of hours for instance? I have asked about this with lipos...
