I support you.

I only tested 26 inch and 650B rear, there may be front wheels too, I haven't seen them. The 650B rear wheel is for their new Bermuda bike arriving next month.

woosh have a new SWX02 kit arriving Wednesday. I tested the kit on this bike last summer: 90% power of the classic BPM but 1.5kg lighter.

ebay and amazon fees are about 10%, holiday rental platforms charge between 10% to 20%. Paypal charge between 2% to 3% on top. Only dedicated web based platforms can deliver lower marketing cost for small operators. Rambo, if you want to create a platform, keep in mind that if yours is...

the EU evolves constantly but not in the direction that ukippers would like to see. Morphix and Tillson are both of course right when they said the EU has failed, for them but not for the majority millions who live in the new member countries and the rest of the EU. whichever block we want to...

chain drives have better weight distribution than front wheel drive. woosh sell them. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?cdkit They will have the new controller for their hub kits integrated to the HL battery arriving on Wednesday.

the development of a platform like this needs to follow a staged delivery approach. The first stage is to deliver a usable platform with all the essential functtionality and proven robustness. It has to be convincing enough to raise more capital, This stage requires at least £100,000 to cover...

so you are against paying import duty and taxes?

yes, about 13% would do just that.

it won't take you long to figure out how to add a parallel battery.

thank you flecc. I hope the OP has found out by now some of the reasons why e-bike hire can only be profitable as an add-on service in such places like B&Bs.

I think many commuters ride to save money on public transport. They wouldn't be prepared to pay 10p a mile on routine check. could the legal minds of this forum - please take a look at the situation and let us know what you think. Can manufacturers refuse to honour the guarantee if recommended...

I was thinking of a clip on thumb throttle to modulate the friction drive.

is it illegal to hire out a friction drive for the Boris bikes?

it goes to show that bikes can't replace or relieve public transport in our congested cities. The only profitable bike hires seem to be the ones catering for tourists.

this is a good marketing model. I reckon less than 5% of Gtech owners would be bothered with getting a second battery.

I don't know if such a scheme would work here. These units are so easily detachable and go walking or simply vandalised. Secondly, the maintenance cost if centralised could get out of hand due to organisational costs. Apparently the Boris bikes cost £2,000 a year to maintain.

I don't know for sure. Andy @ woosh would know.
