Masters competitor busted for hidden electric motor

[Pale Rider]

Would a quill expander bolt give sufficient resistance to the torque involved? I like the front mech bolt idea mentioned up thread.

And you'd also need a foot-long allen key to tighten the bolt.

Why are they wasting money on fancy heat detection equipment? All they need to do is look out for bikes with Vivax written on them in massive lettering.

ETA: Although I don't think there's anything actually in the downtube. The motor's in the seat tube with the battery either in a bottle or hidden in the seatpost.

Or choose the invisible performance package!

Which puts the battery in a bottle rather than a saddle bag and gives you a wireless rather than a wired controller.

Reading the installation instructions, it says the battery disguised as a bidon isn't removeable, which would make detection a bit easier.

But makes life for bidon-catching small boys at the roadside much safer.

Thank goodness someone is thinking of the children. If only one small boy is kept safe from this Li-ion menace it will have been worth it.

A Li-ion, a switch and a torque load.

Ooh, is this guess the punch line to an electrical joke?

Ok, here goes:
"... I couldn't resist her!"

All this talk of Li-ions gives me a Stanley Holloway vibe, especially if the small boy has a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle.

It's a clever pun on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which is a book for children by C S Lewis.

Look mate, nobody asked you. It's Narnia business.

Could you not somehow incorporate some electrical contacts into the bottle cage, making the bottle/battery itself removable?

I thought I recognised the cadence from somewhere.

Hide the motor in your shoes.

Bionic shorts?

 

[Drago]

Will their come a time when motorised prosthetic legs are so powerful, so life-like, that the authorities will have to have riders scrutineered as closely as the bikes?

I'm sure that a dedicated cheater could opt for the inter-rectal battery option.
