How hammering bb for few hours is easier than removing front wheel? Front, rear hub and mid drive conversions all have their pros and cons. Could you post a link please?

Battery can be mounted in many places. I have attached it to Topeak pannier rack at the back. Mid drive motor is most difficult to install option and also most expensive. It is great for off road, but if you plan to cycle on roads then front or rear hubs are more than OK. 750W is three times...

Business is business. Better to be safe than sorry. Swytch is a good example. Looks like they took the money and disappeared in thin air (at least according to some of their customers). Hard to blame people for being suspicious after experience like that.

That would be disrespectful. Though I guess I might get easily imprisoned for sedition ;)

I was joking of course. Forgot to add smiley face at the end. If I was to buy spare battery I would maintain it properly. But even then it would deteriorate over time. Having that said I have a funny feeling government will really mess things up at some point. Hmm... interesting... I have...

Might be a good time to buy a spare battery or two before government steps in to help and mess things up like they have done with throttles.

My advice is - try to get your money back and run as fast as you can. You can get much better value for money elsewhere and much faster. Their estimated times are a joke - 10 weeks manufacturing plus 6 weeks shipping plus 2 weeks processing and probably another 24h for final delivery (max). And...

There is definitely a market and need for trustworthy supplier of good batteries in UK. Perhaps Woosh would like to fill that gap? At this moment we rely on what Chinese say about insides of batteries and somehow I don't trust a word of what they say. At this moment most of us just have black...

Aren't chargers supposed to switch to trickle charge after battery is full? Manufacturer of a bike I bought demands battery is left on charge for 24h after it is full every few months if I remember manual well. If not then it would void the warranty. To be honest I have chickened out and didn't...

I meant something like that: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Youshiko-YC4000-Intelligent-Professional-Standard/dp/B00N7GHUH0/ref=sr_1_6?crid=30EC6IN9FHQBK&keywords=Smart+charger+aa&qid=1680126578&sprefix=smart+charger+aa%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-6 Highly recommended for AA and AAA. I guess chargers like...

I still have smart AA/AAA battery charger I bought many years ago. It has option of refreshing old batteries, tells me exactly what level batteries were charged to or amount of energy accumulated by individual batteries if discharged. I wish I had something similar for my ebike batteries.

Except I didn't write anything like that, did I? However you make a good point. I shouldn't blame police at this point as there is very little chance this bike might have been legal.

Insurance is a little help to those who are dead. That is a good thing to hear. On the outside Chinese kits you sell look exactly the same as Chinese kits sold by other companies. I wish we had good cheap batteries manufactured in UK. Wishful thinking or there is a chance it might happen at...

At this moment we don't know if they had anything to do with incident or not. It happens I have never seen a bike like that used by ordinary cyclist while most of professional riders delivering stuff use oversized overpowered kits. If they charge batteries the same way how they ride bikes...

Are you being sarcastic? There are many, many posts on this forum related to illegal conversions. And nothing is being done about it. Personally I don't think price of battery can be directly connected to safety. Yes, mostly you get what you pay for, but there are many more factors to...

Before first ride better take bike to mechanic for proper check up. Assembly of amazon ebikes is lacking.

I am talking about motor size. It is clearly well above allowed by law 250W. I am guessing it is around 1000W. If one has no problems in breaking rules in one area we can only speculate how many other regulations were broken in this case.

As usually in cases like that there is very little information about real cause of fire. One can only try to connect dots. Nigerian restaurant, Picture posted above of clearly illegal bike. Was boyfriend working in deliveries business? How battery was charged? Tragedy of course. I wish we could...
