    "Shafty" a shaft driven bike conversion build

    Nice to hear from another owner Charli! The PAS ring supplied by Woosh is a split ring style (ie comes into 2 halves). They made the circular hole bigger (presumably with a dremmel or similar). Still circular though I used sugru to fix in place (a branded silicon putty that cures to hard and...

    Has anyone heard of or tried Argento bikes?

    Never heard of them and seems an odd hotchpotch of parts. Cheapo mechanical brakes, cheap rear hub. 7 gears?! Really on a mtb? The rear shock seems to be repurposed from scooters. The front is a super cheapo Zoom Controller placement is horrible and seems like an afterthought given the semi...

    Not Quite Walking on Water...

    If I wanted to cycle on water I could stick a small electric trolling/kayak motor on a pedalo for a fraction of that! And not get wet. Could prob drink a beer in the sunshine at the same time I'm off to kickstarter

    First ebike belt not chain?

    A bike with an alfine 8 hub and chain are super bullet proof. I'm on my second hub in over a decade and God knows how many thousand miles. My first hub outlasted the frame it came in and I have never, ever serviced them whatsoever!

    Brompton conversion... would this Whoosh kit work?

    There is no need vfr, you have my top respect as I have often said and you know. You mention the troll which is pertinent. I just dont like to see needless confrontation / division between top, skilled and knowledgable contributors. When ire is earned, Ive zero issue with it being delivered...

    Brompton conversion... would this Whoosh kit work?

    Thats a bit much fella, isn't it? I hate weighing into disagreements between folk I respect really super highly. But this feels a little unnecessarily confrontational without due cause. Sorry if you feel differently on this one

    Hi everyone!

    Welcome! Nealh was right in that I had to look it up. Seems a few versions out there. V3.0 with the ice blue rims and v2.0 with rear blue and, oddly IMHO, a three spoke mag front wheel Proprietary batteries by the looks of things with integrated controllers Looks like a nice road focussed...

    Going faster?

    Like your Like yourself much of my milage is commuting and sweaty arrival isn't an option My own way of getting exercise is to go off road over the south downs, steep hills in either direction are a workout. I have a hard tail not full sus so it's legs and arms being the suspension whilst...

    Some amount of ebikes here, not an ad, have nothing to do with the company.

    It's a terrible website especially on mobile. . But I have had nothing but slick service and speedy delivery from them. Must have used them at least 5 times. Often arrives quicker then they say

    Brompton conversion... would this Whoosh kit work?

    If Woosh will sell you this kit with the HL rail with integrated controller (but no battery) then I suspect this is the best/simplest/neatest option for you Plus, if you search around the forum, you'll see they have great rep for after sales care, warranties and stuff. You deffo could order...

    When you hear hoof beats think horses not zebra as they say! Best ignore my post on that basis and diagnose issue properly and in order Getting them closer is most likely and Nealh is right. We should see photos first before any"zebra" magnet solutions

    Brompton conversion... would this Whoosh kit work?

    OK, no worries. That's what the forum is for :) So, do you actually own a nano motor in a wheel? Just if not there may be better options for you these days. I'm not too up on brommie compabitle motors but someone recently did one on the forum

    Brompton conversion... would this Whoosh kit work?

    For example a treid and tested basic controller and panel. Consider a baseline but I've used a few of these in the past without issue (until I've pushed them to limit by chucking 50 plus volts through them!)...
