Hi thanks for the reply. The wheel has gone out of true after its last spoke snapping episode so it defiantly needs a 're true. I will give you a call Monday. Max Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

Hi Yes it does have the 13g spokes which tend to break off at the elbow so maybe a change to the 14g spokes would make sense if there stong enough for the loads a tandem puts though the wheel. Max Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

I have A Trek T900 tandem with a rear wheel motor e bike conversion supplied and fitted by Woosh cycles. I am having issues with the spokes snapping, usually two per 30 mile ride. Is this to be expected with this kind of setup in a tandem? Any ideas why this would be happening ? Thinking about...

Cheers will give woosh a call. I did note on there web site that the swx02 only comes on 650b wheels. I just need something to give me a hand up hills, on the flat I will tend to be around the 15mph mark, having a motor will open up more hilly rides for us :) Max

Does this motor produce good torque? Me and the wife's combined weight is 127kg / 20stone plus a bit of luggage. Max

Too the nearest A & E :)

Hi All, I am looking to convert My trusty Trek T900 Tandem to give a little help on the larger hills and maybe strong head winds, I am fairly fit and like pedaling ( Wife maybe not so much :)) so would not using the motor all the time. Our rides tend to be around 30 miles sometimes upto 50...

Hi The Captain ( person on the front) has all the controls. So the Bafang BBS can drive from the left ? How would the bike ride when not under power? I do like to pedal ( wife not so much ;)) I would plan to only plan to use the motor for long hills and strong head windows. Max

Hi Nealh I think it's possible to change the drive side but I think it would mean a group set change which is a fairly costly, it would be worth considering if the mid drive would work out better than A hub motor. Max

Hi, I'm in Hastings. I do quite like the idea of a BBS01 but I thought I could not fit one on the front as my chain that drives the rear is on the left side.?? Max...

I was looking at that, it looks real nice but looking at the sizing I think it would to big for my wife who is 4ft 11" my current tandem has a 14.5 inch rear frame which is just right for her this is why I think a DIY conversion is the only real option, I am more than happy to be wrong as I...

Looks sweet!! I wonder how the mid drive system works with the stoker possibly controlling the pedal power, I know in my case I am putting in 80% of the power from the front.

Hi AlI I have just joined the forum I don't have myself a Pedelec yet but I am hoping with a bit help from the mighty collective knowledge I will be steered the correct direction for my planned conversion of my trusty Trek T900 tandem. I have called round a few vendors of conversion kits and non...
