    Ladies first electric bike

    I was reading a website this morning (cannot remember what it was about) and they offered fifty dollars to the first person to come up with a major error on their site! Any offers, Mr Woosh?*!

    Policing by consent

    I gave up listening to the radio years ago. I never watch the TV news, in fact I rarely watch TV now. I gave up reading any newspapers after the last election, so that's about four months I've managed. Don't be afraid to think for yourself, or question what is being put out by the mainstream...

    You have only quoted Soundwave selectively here, and I realise his punctuation may have misled people, but I can see what he means.

    Ladies first electric bike

    As suggested, if you go to EBikes Direct and select step-through frames, then start at lowest price, you will get a good idea of what is on the market in the range you want. It's true that it will not separate in-stock items or the battery position or type of gears, but it's a good guide. You...

    Lockdown

    He was an encyclopaedia of old jokes! I saw him in a film the other day, dancing, which I never associated him with.

    So, the quality of their output is going to improve, eh? You HAVE cheered me up!

    Lockdown

    Yes, there isn't much I can point to that I can say makes me proud to be a human being. http://page22atrowner.atwebpages.com/stumps.html

    Lockdown

    Yes, I think you have summed it up there, Soundwave. Our 'PM' standing there behind a lectern with 'Save the NHS' on it makes me want to throw up. They've done their best over the years to sell it off. For what it's worth, three close members of my family have died in the last three months of...

    Magnetic disk

    Juicy Bikes list them in three different sizes, and no doubt Woosh could help you as well. I've had one of these break, in the past.

    Hercules Rob Fold

    I agree with some of the comments made, but it was the design I was approving of. No doubt if Woosh were to market this with a front hub motor it would be at Woosh prices. It would still have all the good design features. I also noticed it has a welded mounting point on the front for a rack...

    Hercules Rob Fold

    This came up while I was browsing YouTube. It has all the things I look for in a bike, except I'm not looking for a mid-motor. It's also a bit pricey for me! Central battery, hub gears, steering stabiliser, centre stand. I could not understand the German, as I'm only fluent in stupidity, but it...

    Help! Best value rear hub e-bike for 5 mile round trip with medium gradients at one end

    If you are going to change to disc brakes front and rear, I will wait! The only reason I am thinking of a new bike is because the roller brake on my home-built treadalo just does not seem to work. I will also need a new battery, and that money could go towards a new bike. Also, I just like the...

    Best value folding e-bike for 4 mile round trip with long, medium gradient

    https://greatebike.eu/lovelec-flip Very similar, but about £400 more! £849 is a good price, and believe me, I've been scouring the net out of interest. My current bike was built with rigid forks, but the roads are so bad around here I had to fit suspension. It makes a difference. I'm happy to be...

    Best value folding e-bike for 4 mile round trip with long, medium gradient

    I'm not keen on small wheeled bikes, but there is something about this one that appeals, as well as the price! I priced-up a new hub and caliper kit, with the thought that I could rebuild the front wheel and have a disc brake. I'm getting older and I don't do as many miles. My current bike could...

    Introducing the new Woosh Rambla

    Found this, this morning: https://greatebike.eu/e-bike-gepida-bonum-pro-slx-10-powertube Very similar to the Rambla, but about two thousand pounds more! You seem to have a good bike there.

    CAKE Ösa electric utility motorcycle can function as an off-grid mobile studio

    https://www.ubcobikes.com/ I remember seeing these for sale on the 50Cycles website a while ago. Similar type of bike, but more for agriculture than photography, unless you want to take snaps of your sheep....

    Juicy Classic Dutch or Apache Wakita City 2020 model 26 inch?

    How did you find that company?!* They have a good range in the city bikes. There is one similar to the one you have pointed out, that has Nexus 3-speed. If all your work is on flat ground, that would be ideal. But no front suspension. 13ah battery.

    First ebike (lower budget) advice?

    I know you said you were not interested in folders, but the Woosh Rambletta has a good spec and is 20kgs. which might be helpful if you have to lump it about. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rambletta It has front suspension, not sure about the seatpost. If your commute is 4 miles in total, this has a...

    First ebike (lower budget) advice?

    If you have a look at the EBikes Direct site, it gives you a good idea of what is available. You can select filters for hub or mid drive, and step-through or crossbar etc. A filter for hub gears and mid or rear mounted batteries would be helpful. Have a look at Woosh bikes as well. The main...

    Thorn frames

    https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/thorn-step-through-frames/ I thought these might be of help to someone. I like the eccentric bottom bracket for hub gears.
