Here are a few points on the Woosh Gale running gear.
Wheels: Black paint flakes off when bike run on salty winter roads. Hard alloy anodising may be more durable.
Motor: Silver paint flakes off and the cast alloy corrodes into white powder when exposed to salty winter roads. Suggest hard anodising again.
Forks: Seize up running on salty winter roads, but too stiff anyway. Metal polish rust off stanchions, Prise plastic caps off fork legs and squirt in GT85, run oil around leg to stanchion seals. Suggest stainless stanchions and adjustable springs, or just a fixed fork and fatter tyres.
Brakes: V-brakes on front with disc on back seems odd. Suggest disc would be more use on front, front hub has disc mount but fork does not. Rear disc awkwardly mounted with adaptor making back end lot wider than needs be.
