    Resurrecting Old e-Bike - Parts Compatability Q...

    Dear both, thanks:-) - I'm going to do some careful checking with some test leads. Appreciate the suggestion to replace the controller - but this is only really for times my other bike is out of action *and* it's too windy to make taking my old tourer just too grim (it's 18Km home almost all...

    Resurrecting Old e-Bike - Parts Compatability Q...

    Hi all, apologies for random question - but I'm trying to ressurect an old bike (Woosh Karoo) as a backup commuter. The motor & battery are fine, the controller (integrated into the battery mounting plate) isn't and the display has gone missing. 90% sure the pedal sensor is OK (and I have a...

    Woosh Karoo - thanks

    Yes, me too - usually when they wear out though. But I've already put my old saddle (Lidl, years old, indestructible it seems) on and got SPD+flat pedals on order (my wife will ride it sometimes). Thanks again everyone

    Woosh Karoo - thanks

    Thank you - much appreciated and I will:-) I wasn't clear about the throttle - I intellectual know how it works, it's just not ingrained in me to use it - just makes more sense to pedal harder/faster

    Karoo or Kreiger

    Dear All, apologies - long again. I asked for (and got, thanks) some advice on bikes available on c2w for a 17km commute - but having had a chance to look at them, they are obvious non-starters and wouldn't stand up to it for long. So am currently looking at the Woosh Karoo and Krieger, which...

    Daily 17km Commute - some steepish hills..

    Dear All, thanks:-) Eagle must admit I'd always thought the G-Tech was a gimmick, but seems not:-) but not sure it gets me more than the Array which is 1/2 the price (more or less) on C2W? More maintenance yes, but I'm used to that. Eagle, yes I was was thinking it might be a bit much - a...

    Daily 17km Commute - some steepish hills..

    Dear All, hopefully someone can help - and apologies, it's got a bit long. I've been commuting by bike (10km) all year for 16 years, no problem. But that's going up to 17km - and it might be a lot to ask to keep doing that everyday (I've had to do it a few times so far over the past year and...
