    Does anyone recognize this motor brand?

    Hi, My Brompton had a nano conversation fitted in 2017 which has worked 100% reliably ‘till recently. The absence of drive power suggests the clutch might have broken - any advice received gratefully! First step will be to open it, which looks like it might be a threaded portion of the case, on...

    Bosch 36v packs & alternatives from the discount stores

    Hi folks. So I’ve had a nano conversion on my Brompton since 2017 and been delighted with it. The 36v Bosch battery pack thst came with it - the 4ah variant - has done well but now no longer holds a full charge. I found out at the week-end that there’s a 6ah option, so I’ve just ordered one.

    I don't want to make any assumptions about the abilities of e-bikes... so I'll ask the Q. Assuming I pick a suitable bike/motor/battery combination, is it going to be feasible to use it for multi-day point-to-point cycle touring? I used to be able to do 50-70 miles days, carrying all my camping...

    That's the one! At first glance, it looks like the wigged-out love child of a Moulton and a Brompton! ;-) The new-to-me example is about a fortnight away from me picking it up from its current location - I haven't even ridden it yet, so it's going to be a bit of a leap of faith.

    Hi folks, after years of enjoying the posts on the CTC forum, I am joining in the Pedelec fun, after reading about this forum on the CTC site. Have used Moultons all my pedalling life but am about to switch to the rare and unusual Radnabel semi recumbent. Dieter (Herr Radnabel) has recently...
