Nope, I don't think it is, looks like they have developed their own patented downtube motor http://ebiketips.co.uk/content/news/the-10000-typhoon-e-assist-packs-a-250w-hidden-motor-interview-and-video-50

Coulthard was riding one of these http://www.typhoonbicycles.com/product/road/

My Boardman Mx Comp is made in Taiwan or Pakistan (can't remember exactly, certainly not Britain). Doesn't stop Mr Boardman smacking a sticker near the bottom bracket on all of his bikes

Thanks for checking. 25% less capacity than the Vulcan /Crossfire, yes, disappointing. OK, if it gets you to work and back then that's fine, trouble is once you get an ebike, the temptation is to ride it at any opportunity, including weekend tour rides, where you'd like the extra capacity. Taken...

Streethawk, can you confirm the battery capacity, is it 11.6ah like the Crossfire/Vulcan ?

Yeah, I had a moment soon after getting my crossfire-e, going downhill at about 25mph, no handed, posing, as you do, massive front end speed wobble, luckily caught it, got it back under control, but definitely skid marks

I remember reading this comment a while ago, and it stuck in my mind having previously swapped out 3 spokes on my other wheel earlier in the year, so when a spoke pinged and snapped on me yesterday (1st one on this wheel), and with them they always seem to be on the cassette (drive) side...so...

I think the equivalent Woosh model (Rio) are £200-300 more, but you do get a better spec

I think the Greenway version of the same battery pack is a bit less capacity, I understand that this one is the same as the Vulcan at 11.6ah (presumably there type or number of cells is different inside) As you rightly pointed out, same battery case, but I'm not convinced the cutout is always...

Hi all Just noticed this on the Halfords site. Bafung rear hub motor and what apperas to be the same battery as the crosffire-e/Vulcan (11.6ah) Not LCD display and cheaper spec (mechanical discs) than the Vulcan, but £200 quid cheaper. Add some discounts (BC 10%, Quidco etc) should see it sub...

The battery goes to sleep after 24 hrs, you have to hold down the battery button before the button on the display

Schwalbe Energiser Plus size 700 x 35 is what I have run for the last year on my Crossfire-e. Not a single puncture in 3000 miles, great grip in the dry and wet, and low rolling resistance. Best bit is the price, only £10.99 each from SJS Cycles...

A great offer, and anyone after a couple of bikes of that type, it'll be hard to beat. However, the differences between a Crossfire-e and a Kudos Safari are many, not really comparable, but I do take the point that either would satisfy a potential rider

I feel sorry for anyone who has paid 1200 quid and is getting cutout issues, if I'd paid that of course I would send it back and get something else. Likewise, if I couldn't get a deal on it, i.e sub 900 quid, I wouldn't buy it in the first place, with knowing the problems, I'd pay the extra and...

Show me a similar spec bike (and I mean similar or better components, same or better battery capacity, drive system, power, hydraulic brakes etc, and that looks like a regular hybrid bike) to the crossfire-e for what I paid for it (last Aug £660 after discounts) with a 2yr warranty from a local...

show them their own cycle to work website which shows the bike on offer https://www.cycle2work.info/ If they can do it sub £1k for that why not anyone else ? Then pull out your British Cycling card for another 10% off discount ;-)

2 year warranty, if my year old one starts doing it more frequently next year, I'll take it back, and get a new battery or bike replacement, cheers halfords, 2 years use for free!

/subscribes to thread :-)

VERY interesting Tim, keep us posted on the results tomorrow :-)

I run 2 of these or similar http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/500LM-10W-3-Modes-USB-LED-Bike-CREE-XM-L-T6-LED-Bicycle-Headlight-/152210290804?hash=item237070b874:g:7ZUAAOSwawpXtZXj plugged into a 2 output usb power bank, which is in a top tube frame bag like this...
