    Hello from Stockholm

    Welcome Swe15. Your compatriot from Stockholm, Greta, has set off on her voyage. A brave girl, who puts a lot of us old farts to shame! A beacon of light in todays gloom.

    The development of the brand new 2020 Wispers... in Pictures!

    That's the nearest I've seen in the UK to the Radpower City. Putting front rack mountings on from the factory is common sense. You have the choice of using them if you wish, but at least they are there. Fork-mounted racks just cause problems. Is it difficult to find forks that will take a...

    I think I've posted in the right place, now.

    Where's Bixby?

    I'm not sure if this has ever been posted on this site, but I was sent an email about Bixby: https://electricbikereport.com/wheres-bixby-electric-cargo-bike-adventures-with-a-dog-her-human-video/

    Freecycle London 2019

    https://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/events/freecycle/ My brother just told me he is going to this, so thought I would post it. Too far for me, I'm afraid.

    Oxygen e-bike is the best bike on GBP 1,500.00 range?

    I have just wiped the dirt off my motor, and that is a Shengyi. I bought it from Panda over four years and 12,000 miles ago. It's still quiet, pulls well and gets me where I want to go every day. I saw a video on this firm, and was surprised how big they are. They make a centre-drive motor as well.

    Front Hub?

    My bike is front hub, and has done me well for over 12,000 miles. You have more choice over the type of transmission - hub gears, automatic etc.

    A task to build a new bike mid drive & hub gears for under £700

    Just the hub gears and roller brake would be £99, so you got a bargain. No more projects for me until I've cleared everything out!

    Where to buy step-through frame to build ebike?

    I had exactly the same problem. I found a frame on AliExpress, with almost-horizontal dropouts, but no disc mounts. I have tried to put a link on here, but AliExpress is a bit odd this morning! J S EBike store is the firm, if you search. I bought it four years ago, have done over 12,000 miles on...

    Forks needed

    Is this sort of thing any good? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-WHEEL-CHROME-1-FRONT-FORK-FOLDERS-SHOPPERS-KIDS-BIKE-BRAKE-BOSSES-/202655091537?hash=item2f2f2f4b51 I have bought forks from this firm without any problems.

    Which bike under 1500

    If you look at the Ebikes Direct site, do a search under hub-driven bikes and start with the cheapest, that will give you an idea of what is available. For a 4 km trip, there are bikes there of decent quality. I prefer the battery in a central position - it keeps the weight in the right place...

    This one has just appeared, at a bargain 6000 US dollars! https://electricbikereport.com/yuba-electric-supermarche-cargo-bike-review-part-1-pictures-specs/ That is without the bamboo box, and I note it has cable steering Frank, like yours.

    Cargo-Bike selfmade

    Well done that man. As you say, cargo bikes in the main are too expensive, which is why the Argo bike came about. That is listed at about 900 US dollars, but I think they have sold out. There is a certain cargo bike listed at £4000 retail. If you study it, and work out the cost of components, it...

    In search of a cyclescheme-friendly commuter bike

    If it's the reviews on Amazon, that seems to be one customer who seems to expect miracles for a low price. Any machine out in the weather will need protection of plated parts. I notice the maintenance spray in Asda has changed, and is now £2.50. Silicone spray at Toolstation is about £3. I spray...
