    Petrol Electric Hybrid

    Thanks for the comments, I'm not particularly bothered by the weight, firstly I'm a lightweight and secondly my motorcycling knowledge over many years leads me to believe that I can double the power to weight ratio of the original bike. You are correct in assuming that a battery pack will take...

    Petrol Electric Hybrid

    Having just finished one project and close to finishing a second I'm pondering the build of a petrol/electric hybrid motor cycle. While this is only an idle thought at the moment my 'idle thoughts' do have a habit of ending up in the workshop. My current thinking, as this will be a steep...

    UK petition to legalise personal electric vehicles

    I believe that everyone in the UK who is interested in the promotion of personal electric transport should sign this petition. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/332067 This does not imply any political expression but only a freedom to pursue our endevours.

    Hub motor direct from Chinese supplier

    Hub motor direct from Chinese supplier

    Thank you Santacruz, I would much rather deal with a company that comes with a recommendation, I have had a quick look at their website and I'm sure I will be able to find what I am looking for.
