so any idea how they get a motor labelled 350w to be considered to be 250w? Is there some restriction that can be set in the motor itself?

My bike has the usual 5 levels of assist. I thought they just set a target speed and once achieved they cut off completely, or do they continue at a lower rate until the 15.5mph cut off?

Yes I was thinking of doing something similar but was wondering if I was being paranoid. When you think about it ebikes are relatively rare, the batteries tend to be pretty specific to the bike, the bikes usually come with one and the people who want a second one aren't likely to be the type to...

Have been riding my first ebike this last week and find that I tend to cruise a couple of mph above the cut off point but that when going up a hill I can end up hovering around the cut off which seems to cause more of a strain. To get around that I either push on faster or let it slow to within...

Just got a Typhoon with a bottle battery and am finding it a bind carrying it around so was wondering if anyone has actually had their battery stolen? I'm not really on about it being 'accidentally' stolen when the whole bike was taken but just having the battery taken.

ok in that case it's a PM. :) Any particular reason that it has such labels rather than very obvious ones? I work in computing so I know that labelling things in an obvious way doesn't happen very often but just once I was hoping... My next question is about the battery, how do you tell it's...

I decided to get a Kudos Typhoon in the end. Have been using my old normal bike and suspect that the ebike won't make much difference in speed BUT will hopefully get me out the way quicker at the lights - seem to get followed by a bus each time which is worrying. Will be checking using strava...

D8ve, Jimod, I see the point you both are making about the time difference, probably right as the idea on the way to the station is not to get sweaty. Didn't realise that I would only be putting out 100w, puts 250w into perspective a bit. Trex, Ive seen various threads about all 250 w motors not...

hi d8veh, the train company have built a new cycle park on the platform with an electronic key fob system and in view of CCTV cameras so I'm hoping it will be safe. You could all be right and it was an illusion and I would struggle to go faster, I did try out my old bike and could feel the...

Or the cytronex as that seems to be claiming to be fast and light as oldtom suggested?

Already get up before 6am so I can work my hours and still get home before 7pm :(. Except Fridays where I get a lie in till 7 but then can end up working till gone 2am Saturday :( :( Admitted I could get up 20 mins earlier and walk it and have beat driving by walking, but could do with more...

I'm 'happy' that the assist stops at 15mph but I still want to be able to pedal myself faster, the sirocco's felt like they would take more effort than my old normal bike would once the assist turned off. It's the initial acceleration and the ability to pedal myself faster that I want to...

Hi, I've just been to try a number of the Woosh bikes and while I found the Big Bear to be ok, didn't like the Sirocco 2 or CDL much as they didn't seem that powerful and when the assist ran out seemed to take some effort to get going much faster - too lower a top gear, resistance or my unfit...
