No Nukes OGF, and the damage has already been done, no going back.

Re: Only in LA

Various jobs LQ, two wires go to the brakes, one to the throttle, one to a crank sensor, a couple to the battery, with these bike conversions, you can choose just how much hard work you want to do, generally, the bike is left in the hardest gear, when you pedal, assistance kicks in, when you get up to speed, as long as you are peddling, the assistance kicks in and out, more so when going up hill. At cruising speed if you operate the throttle, the motor takes over at about half travel, the remaining half takes you to a speed it is not possible to peddle at, not advisable without helmet, gloves etc etc.
bottom line, it is still exercise, only you can go say four times as far for the same amount of energy output, idle folks have the opportunity of just using the throttle of course.

Re: Only in LA

Fairly certain I'm going to get me one of these, throw it in the back of the Van and go Green Laning, there seems to be an association for the pursuit now.

Gave you the LA Crew at the start of the tread, managed to find some Brit Kids, Bradford I think it is, less Yank Dystopia, more northern Brit Chav.
