Ladysmith bridge challenge - I have gone up that a couple of times with the UA XL @William. :)

Rode past that tonight wondering "how the fuck"

.

If you're going electric would it be best to do it then and run it off the battery?

.

I would pay someone else to do that I reckon.

Need to see what motor / drive unit you are using

get dynamo, why use motor battery when you have small front wheel that spins like mad, @andymatthews runs TWO lights from his dynamo.

Isn't using a battery to power a dynamo a bit inefficient?

wait what? I am saying why take power out of battery for light when you can have super efficient dynamo with 20" wheel

The power it takes out is pretty minuscule, more efficient than a dynamo I think.

o rly? okay didnt know that :) well I had dynamo out of box.

@Chalfie there is an output on motor unit for a light so the cable runs from motor unit cable loom to light(s). But power is obviously battery.

The battery and motor would be pushing the bike and turning the Dyno. So you're basically using the battery to power the Dyno. With losses.

what about constant downhill?

Only works efficiently when there are at least 2 scoble bricks drop to the bars from the saddle

So buy motor.

I want to run Christmas tree lights off it. How.

Link pls. I'm lazy. Going to look at some second hand bullitts and am confident enough to install a Bafang if it makes it a lot cheaper than new.

this is the EXACT link of what I bought for £599 incl battery (350W 36v17ah) just before brexit but now Aliexpress adds 20% VAT in the cart.

Oof, but thanks!

Madness?

yes, esp for kid carrying IMO.

I find 350w perfect for my usage (1 kid and sometimes haul heavy-ish loads of around 30kg)

yep. Two B&M Dynamo lamps, one on forks and one on bars.

heavy-ish loads of around 30kg
