Travelling on trains, you get to see some great e-bikes. Just been admiring this one between Rochdale and Victoria:
Feel free to post up ones you've spotted on this thread.
I've seen a couple local to me that clearly have car batteries slung under them. I've no idea how (or if) they work, but they look scary & presumably aren't going to be legal.
I keep seeing them advertised on social media.
E.g.

I dunno, the double length mudguard would get some approval on a club-run. And the battery will keep little-not-a-spoon nice and warm.
Witnessed a deliveroo rider in Oxford yesterday, Specialized S-Works with Boxxer forks, full face helmet & obligatory hub motor in the rear wheel - at least he had the sense to walk past the policemen at the top of the high street.
Last week's winner - would you put weight on that seatpost...?
Mono6-Ti's still go for a pretty penny on ebay and he's got 3 of them.
Surely there must have been better donor bikes than an old ~2002 Stumpjumper (or is it the cheaper FSR-XC?). Something like an Iron Horse Sunday?
Custom home machined master cylinder too
Aside from the fact it'll probably burn down a block of flats or kill a granny on the high-street at 50mph, I'm impressed.
Can't quite get my head around how the master cylinder balances between the calipers though, surely unless the bite point is exactly right and both sides are perfectly bled, you'd end up with more force on one than the other. You'd need something resembling a bias bar?
This absolute beauty used to appear in the bike parking at my old office building.
Makes sense now, I knew those existed for adapted bikes but couldn't get my head around how that single lever was working, make sense now, it probably doesn't!
Those UPPBateries are the exact ones that been linked to a series of fires, rolling time bomb there.
He told me he’d machined out something on the inside of the lever assembly for some reason that I didn’t quite understand.

I assume he's joined the two separate master cylinders together so that they act as one master with two outputs so the problem thisisnotaspoon refers to doesn't happen.
