I just pootle along 6-10mph on my e-bike. I don't understand the lycra louts - head down oblivious to their surroundings getting the last possible bit of speed as they belt along. I like to take the electric car with the bike on the back to Hengistbury Head on a Monday when all the grockles...

I changed my vehicle for an electric Leaf a while ago. They do not come with towbar homologation from Nissan so I bought one from a shop in Las Vegas off ebay, a really nice Hayman-Reese hitch 1 1/4" detachable neck Curt hitch. As there are no wheels on the ground it is perfectly legal...

@Brent533 I use an aluminium frame Specialized Crossroads 1980's vintage fitted with a mid-drive TSDZ2. The 42 chainring that comes with the kit replaced the original three chainring setup. You don't say what sort of rider your friend is. He could be: 1) A 9 stone lean lycra lout, head down...

Brian- I've had mine now for a couple of years and have had zero issues. I think a lot of the reported problems have more to do with riding style and expectations rather than issues with the motor. It all depends on how the bike is ridden. I cruise along the sea front at 6-10mph and ONLY use...

Yes Neal, they really have kept awfully quiet about it, information about it is very hard to obtain. Here is a Guardian article----https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/10/tough-new-rules-aim-to-make-electrical-goods-last-longer

No idea, this is all new, I'm just an electronic engineer trying to keep up with the legislation.

They will have no choice but to supply ALL spares and information, it is now the law.

Agreed, that would not be in the remit, that was never mooted by my post.

They are only obliged to keep spares for 10 years, so you are out of luck my friend.

This primary legislation will take precedence over things like the EULA which it now now supersedes. Software/firmware will be placed in the same basket as all the other components of the item, as I previously stated, the courts interpret the intent of the law as Parliament intended, so...

You guys still don't get it--this legislation changes everything in our world. Hardware and software makes no difference, the intent of the law is what matters especially in a UK court. The EU and UK snuck the laws in under the radar when covid was taking all the attention. There is no get out...

It will only take one court case to bring them into line. The same thing happened to me in Australia. In about 1995 I had a standard panasonic vcr modified by an American company to make it into a time-lapse recorder land on my bench for repair. I asked the USA company for a schematic and...

@Nealh The new laws already in force no make it unlawful to withold service information from the end consumer. This stems from an EU directive on waste management that the UK has signed up to and has introduced its own legislation. The main points of this new legislation are: To ensure all...

I ordered an 860c display for my experimentation but have just lost interest with the colder weather. No longer have the time as helping to look after autistic granddaughter and I just can't be bothered. The standard display is good enough for my needs now. Purchased from Aliexpress for $81...

Use a free online cloud storage like dropbox or Mega and just send them a link.

William, it seems I am not alone in my misgivings about the suitability and practicality of a mid-drive motor for your particular circumstances. Although I personally am a great fan of them, they are really not as practical for you as a rear hub drive would be. I earnestly urge you to re-think...

It depends on who you talk to about it. The cheaper motors on fleabay and malibaba have either engravings or stickers on them sometimes the same motors with different stickers/ratings. If you get a Bafang or Tongsheng from a UK supplier you probably can't go wrong. I found when I was looking...

I recently had a rear wheel axle very slightly bent, trying to diagnose it I sent my motor back to Whoosh to check it. Once the wheel was off, spinning the wheel while holding the axle it was obvious the axle was slightly bent. It gave a very similar clicking noise as you describe.

OK If you want a mid-drive do talk to Whoosh first and get their advice on the amount of effort you will need to put into your pedals. No 1 is to get a throttle, with your physical condition you will definitely need that for the initial start up, especially when starting up an incline. Bear in...
