    Another broken ebike

    the OP may be unlucky with his controller but not the LCD. Please don't make it a generalization to belitle the cheaper bikes, Rob. I'd like to see more German made bikes being used as cheap transport. We'll see if they last as long as Chinese bikes.

    Another broken ebike

    that is usually the case when the controller is programmed to talk to a different LCD. They don't use the same protocol. Check the batch code on the label affixed to the controller casing. They usually follow this format: [manufacturer model] [customer] [program batch date] [serial number if...

    Lovely word that is. Hatti @ Woosh used to sell computer stuff in the early 80's. She had a network of self help enthusiasts all over the UK. They were called 'local experts'. She paid them to install kits for her customers. She plans to do same with her bikes, she is looking for likeminded...

    which kit

    yes, loads. [many brands do not have nationwide outlets for test rides and servicing especially in remote areas.] woosh have customers all over the UK. If you want to test ride a bike, just ask, you will be put in touch with someone near you who have bought the same bike. You can go and see.

    which kit

    yes, all the normal parts that are covered by the first year guarantee, excluding the usual accidental damage and vandalism. The second hand page is here: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?secondhand woosh customers advertise there for free and their bikes are usually sold within a week or so. Some have...

    David, can't you stop belitling your competitors? there are ways to provide customers with better service without the dealers. What is better? talk directly to someone who knows the bike inside out or email the part manufacturers for help because the guarantee is with the part manufacturer and...

    which kit

    you can buy extra guarantee, just ask. People who buy a second hand bike that are near a year old on the woosh site are usually invited to buy extra one year guarantee for £100.

    which kit

    sorry I was making myself some lunch and watching daily politics on bbc2. the answer is no. Woosh have several crank drive bikes but they are not better than the Big Bear for various reasons. Firstly, the controller is now limited to 18A on all woosh CD bikes. The controller determines how much...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    at the end of the day, parliament is where important decisions are taken. if you don't accept the result as advisory then the alternative is another referendum. Parliament can vote for that too.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sorry Tillson, I think brexit is only advisory but MPs should represent fairly the view of their constituencies rather than their own view. Where they can make things better is to use their education and intelligence to debate objectively and get us out of the present predicament where the Pound...

    how will you do that with UKIP representing the UK in the EU parliament? No, the EU will do better in a soft brexit scenario, without our MEPs.

    not with a soft brexit. The Pound will strongly recovers in such a scenario.

    which kit

    AK runs his GSM with a torque simulation controller. The motor costs £215 new but they are easily serviceable by good DIYers. The only special tool you may need is the BB nut remover. It's the same tool used to service the BBS01 and BBS02. You can make it yourself for about £5 or get one from...

    which kit

    replacing a motor wheel is dead easy, pull off the motor connector (behind the chainstay), loosen the two M10 wheel nuts. The old wheel comes off very much like a normal wheel. Here is the motor wheel on the Gale: You should zoom in to the all metal folding pedals on the picture. Check the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have no doubt that the EU is leading the world on issues like exploitation. You, I and many well educated folks have never been victim of it. However, there are plenty of victims of globalization here, in the UK. They need trade walls. I am fully aware that brexit left to the hardliners will...

    which kit

    Something like the £749 Gale will do: 1. Sinewave controller for smoothness and quietness: checked 2. At least three levels of assist: checked 3. Gearing suitable for pedalling to at least 20 mph. That means free-hub gears or a chainwheel at least 44 teeth (at least 50T with 20" wheels)...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree that we don't have much to sell and no one gives a damn about manufacturing competitively in this country but we still need to protect the weak and the lesser educated of this country. Inside EU, there is no wall. For the EU to survive, there must be proper mechanism to ensure employment...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we need the ability to negotiate alternative trade deals. How else can we see what the alternatives are if we are stuck inside the fortress? The EU will need to reform itself to stop its citizens opting for the likes of Mr Trump. It will have to decide if it wants to be a United States of Europe...
