Thanks for your help. I now know more than when I started. I assumed that a Big Bear motor and wheel would be too expensive, but I will make enquiries. I am not looking for a difficult project - I just want to upgrade my bike with as few problems as possible.

With the sort of cycling I do, I seem to be permanently clicking up and down the gears, as the terrain round here is pretty flat. A three-speed wheel would be ideal, but I have to move the rear motor first, hence the enquiry. Cyclezee do exactly the sort of bike I would like (Primo), but I am...

I have looked at BMS Batteries, Green Bike Kit and AliExpress, as well as EBay. It is not always clear what the cable looks like that comes out of the motor, so that I can tell which sort of cable I am going to need to extend it down to the controller. The front forks look as if they will take...

Now my bike is out of warranty, and I have ridden it enough to know what suits me, I am toying with the idea of fitting a motor to the front, and a three-speed hub to the back. Possibly, one of those SRam two-speed auto hubs, like the Momentum bikes use. The present motor has just three pins in...

One of our customers has just bought an Ebco EBike from Halfords, so I'm surprised they have not heard of them. It cost £999, is a step-through frame, and has a lovely finish, which I suppose it should, at £400 more than my Santana. It has a decent stand, steering stabiliser and many other...

I have bought batteries for work and personal use, from www.componentshop.co.uk over the years. Very helpful and decent quality.

We made the effort to go and see it in Portsmouth/Southsea when our youngest was in her pram - twenty years ago! Fantastic experience. My brother rang yesterday to say he is going to escape from London and try to get out to watch it.

http://www.sportx.is/products/dayun-electric-bike Someone has started selling them in the area where I live. I first noticed one parked outside a house just a hundred yards away. A local motorcycle dealer also has them on his forecourt. A lady who comes into my place of work has had one for...

This could happen to any machine, but the lack of after-sales help is a bit of a curse. It seems they are a Dutch-based firm, which is why the bike looks so practical, rather than a £2000 mountain bike. Anything I needed help with on my Woosh bike, I have always had an instant response. Lets...

Watching the video on this site, I realise the battle this man has in going against the flow. He certainly has vision. Doing a conversion of the price, it would seem to be about £1800. You get some useful transport for that money. I do not know if it will ever reach these shores. I have seen an...

Good to see a practical bike on the market in the UK. It must have a European influence somewhere, with fork gaiters, a dynamo, centre stand and enclosed chain. All at a good price. Try finding a practical motorcycle in the UK. Fashion seems to rule over usefulness here. I look forward to a...

It always seems a shame to me, when I read the statement: 'It does not look like an electric bike', or 'The panniers hide the battery etc'. We will never manage to promote ebikes with this attitude. There was an item on the BBC World Service recently, covering electric cars at a motor show...

We are not far from a branch of The Range, and I intend to go and have a look at this bike, if they have one to view. From their photograph, it looks very European and practical. As someone else has said, they are not in a position to give any service,just like B&Q and their mowers, so you will...

Yes, we do need more posts like this if people are to be convinced of the usefulness of electric bikes. I was sceptical, until I met a lady who used hers for, what I considered, a long commute. Ten miles each way to work for four years, not two, as I originally thought. I used to look at the...

I could never quite see a place in the transport system for the Sinclair C5. I remember seeing one at the Big Green Gathering, being charged-up at the base of a wind generator, then racing round the site. Since buying my electric bike, and seeing what technology is now available to propel us...

Perhaps we should ask those who have died to bring the figures up to date........ I am just over 60. A person at work asked me yesterday if I noticed any difference having an electric bike. I can honestly say it has. It is a real pleasure to go anywhere now, knowing that I will not be knackered...

We have Community Police in Hampshire, on bikes. I'm not sure about full-time police though. Jimmy Edwards in It's Your Move makes me laugh. I've never managed to scoot along on a bike like that.

I've now covered nearly 1400 miles on my Woosh Santana. If I had had a demo ride before purchase, I do not think I would have established that three gears would be best for my situation. The bike does all I need, but three hub gears would be ideal for me. It's not always possible to see ahead...

I recently had a spoke break in the back wheel of my Santana. New spokes supplied by Hatti at Woosh, in usual speedy fashion. I fitted the replacement, after lots of reading-up on wheels etc. Lubrication at both ends of the spoke seemed to be a popular suggestion, which made sense to me...

As used by ODK.... As used by the ODK cargo bike firm. (No connection with the firm, I just admire the way this man has produced a really practical bike, and seems to have listened to his customers).
