I've found that different controllers (and throttles) react differently to erroneous HAL signals. Most resistors aren't affected substantially by water, that's why you don't get the same behavior. I'm not really sure why bike makers don't use variable resistance in throttles instead of the HAL...

IMO, it isn't likely you would do any damage by compressing the front suspension during transport. Ultimately, it will depend on the quality of the forks. It is possible to bend something when cinching down one side at a time though. I used these tire straps to transport my motorcycles. They...

Wouldn't it be easier (and less painful) to buy a belt, instead of nailing up you pants? 😄

I don't see how these laws will reduce e-bike accidents, unless they reduce the number of people riding them. It would be interesting to see just how Denmark arrived at those published safety statistics. The "outlaw" riders are just that, and will largely ignore the laws. Most have little to...

I found a rectangular plastic container that fit snugly in my old "floppy" handlebar bag. It was waterproof and kept the camera gear safe & dry. It got to be a hassle opening and closing the lid though. Much easier with a zippered bag.

I use this one from Arkel for my camera gear: https://arkel.ca/collections/handlebar-bags/products/handlebar-bag Comes in 2 sizes and is practically crush proof. Unfortunately, it's made in Canada and is now quite expensive due in part to the tarrifs.

I don't mount the phone on the bike either, but for a different reason. I keep it in my pocket in case I'm thrown off. If I'm injured and can't get to the bike, I can still call for help. It's also nice to have the phone on your person in case the bike is stolen. I use cheaper bike mounted...

Not if they use one of these: 😄

Looks to me like it's designed for skate parks and large open paved areas. Certainly wouldn't work on unpaved trails or MUP's

Your circuit may work on some 3 wire hall sensor throttles, but as @harryS says, it will depend on the controller. In my case, I used a simple voltage divider with variable resistor to emulate the hall effect. I couldn't get it to work unless I first disconnected the throttle from the...

Take a look at Jones H bars: https://jonesbikes.com/h-bars/?srsltid=AfmBOop3-09vdq0CRkP9NLDEz7OFV6nweEUmqSHmhYir5iAHFBtJwyRs I believe they will ship to the UK.

Since your bike uses a Shimano 6010 battery, I assume it also uses a 36V Shimano controller. Any 36V controller will accept voltages slightly above 42V and should not have a problem with the 40V DeWalt batteries. Since the batteries are fused individually, it isn't likely they would be damaged...

I agree but the OP's Shimano 6010 battery isn't Bosch compatible. His is likely a Shimano system, which may or not work with the DeWalt batteries either.

If you're serious and want to try it, you could use two 20V 5AH DeWalt tool batteries in series to give almost half the capacity of the 36V 6010 battery. If your battery mount on the bike looks like this and the distance between the pin centers is .25", You should be able to use this 4 pin...

I agree. A couple of my 8 year-old batteries have lost around 10% of capacity and I compensate by carrying a spare. For most rides, it's just a small 4AH, usually a cordless tool battery. As capacity diminishes further, I'll carry 2 spares etc. They're small, fairly light and easy to carry...

Tough to do with a bad knee.

Yesterday was my first time out this spring. did 42 miles on the D&H Rail Trail with a 600' elevation gain. Thought I would be able to coast most of the way back but I picked up a 15 - 20 mph headwind. Glad I brought the spare battery!

I don't do single track or downhill anymore so pedal strikes aren't a problem. I coast with one foot down to take some weight off my sore butt. Whichever leg is down is the one that hurts the least. :confused:
