    Stem extender

    Mine is definitely over rigid. Even with the slot cut further up and also a side cut, it still will only budge a tiny amount in a large vice, let alone just tightening the screws

    Just bought a used Woosh Fat Boy

    All very interesting to us non technical people, but I don't want to go faster, I don't want to go further. All that I want for my folding hub motor bike is to climb steep hills. Don't tell me about soldering shunts or even about soldering. If the manufacturer set the controller just so...

    Battery charging, how often

    Have to say that I have a 9 year old Phyllion battery which is now used as a spare. It still seems to have about 70% capacity. I have always stored it (months at a time) at full charge as I have no real way of getting it down to 70%. My guess is that good quality batteries are far tougher than...

    Traditional ebike vs (legal) moped/scooter ebike

    I think that it depends on what you want to do with it. If you ride it on roads, the Police will probably stop you if you do not have a crash helmet. Then they will notice that you do not have a number plate. It will take a bit of explaining that it is technically a pedal cycle. Eventually, if...

    Stem extender

    I have already got North Road raised bars. Unfortunately I also have far too many years of age and arthritis.

    Stem extender

    Well, I will send for one of those. My guess is that mine is a cheap copy and the tempering is all wrong. It simply refuses to bend very much, even when I cut the slot far longer. The test will be when the new one arrives to try tightening it before fitting and ensure that it does actually...

    Certainly will do that on my bike, Been there and done it, just 'ghost pedal' the motor receives the signal and operates.

    Stem extender

    Usual ebay no-name. I did cut the slot higher but the effect was minimal, certainly not enough to trust. I googled 'problems with stem extenders' and some people think that they are dangerous. To my mind, the fundamental design is faulty. Much of the tightening effort is to squeeze in the device...

    Stem extender

    No, you have not misunderstood. Clamping it in the vice hardly closed it at all it was so stiff.

    Battery charging, how often

    The logical answer to that is not to put the power walls in houses. My village has a small electric sub-station and if you look around they are everywhere. Would it not be sensible to place all the 'Walls' in local substations? The substations could be fitted with fire fighting equipment, CCTV...

    Stem extender

    I have tried to fit a stem extender but found that no matter how hard I tried to tighten the two screws on the side, the extender did not close up sufficiently enough to grip the top of the stem. On examination, it is 28.6mm just as my stem is, but the construction is so rigid that it will not...

    introducing the Woosh Grand Camino

    That pannier rack looks an odd shape, will it hold pannier bags successfully?

    Genuine company from Germany ?

    What amazes me is that they cannot be bothered to swap the brakes around before sending the bike to the customer. What else can they not be bothered about? Also, the front mud guard is too short and you will get wet feet.
