I'm hopeful I can persuade a punter or two to join me on the ride starting from Warwick Station taking in The South Warwickshire countryside and some landmarks en route. Route proposal here. Setting out about 11am to make the most of what little daylight there is then. These landmarks are...

Morning! I'm running an Orbit Orion with an Electric Bike Conversions 250W front wheel. Just went to ride to work on the Orbit and I've got no bars at all on the power meter and no power on the throttle at all. When I wired the kit, the battery and sensor connections were soldered by me, so...

I bought this earlier this year and fitted it to my Orbit. I soon found out that it is dented on the rim. I think this happened in transit, but I didn't notice and used the wheel, so couldn't be 100% sure. It's enough to make braking a juddering experience, so can't be used as is. Anyway, it's...

My Birdy Blue folder wants me to convert it to a FWD ebike! There are, however, some complications and I was hoping I could get some advice here. I don't want to compromise the folding ability if at all possible. The front wheel is an 18" one. I have a new rim and was wondering if you could...

Due to the demise of the rack (all the welds have gone) from the Sirocco, I have the battery from the bike for sale. It's 2 years old at most. I bought it from eBay last June. It hauls a 90Kg me and my Ridgeback hybrid on a round-trip commute of 16.4 miles at an average speed of 16.5-17MPH on...

Trex was right when s/he said I would soon be looking for a new project after completing my Ridgeback 250W conversion! I've had the Orbit for quite a while now and it fits like a glove. It's had a SRAM Spectro S7 hub gear, but last year I converted it to a 27-speed derailleur system. Knee...

Having successfully converted my Ridgebak hybrid to ebike status, I'm looking to convert my Orbit which is a superior machine. I'd like to go for a RWD kit so I can keep the dynohub front wheel. Problem is that the kits I've seen only offer a 6- or 7-speed freewheel gearing option. Ideally I'd...

I built up the Ridgeback with a SRAM Automatix hub a couple of years ago as a runabout, but it's sat neglected a lot of the time whilst I used my other bikes. I had intended to put the EBC kit onto another bike, but it didn't fit, so the Ridgeback was chosen. I bought the kit secondhand from...

I've given up trying to fix this machine. I'm removing the rack and battery and the rest is up for grabs. For the issues I've had with it check my threads. £150 collected from Warwick. Offers welcome. I shall be returning it to its original state minus my tweaks.

Unless I can fix my Woosh Sirocco CDL, I am done with it. Last chance saloon time, and the drinks are being poured. Anyway, assuming the worst, I am hopeful I can use the rack battery for a planned conversion. The carcass of the bike is worthless, except for the mid-drive motor. I know nothing...

Background: I last used this bike on Monday 21st December. I had recently replaced the KingMeter battery, but all went well to and from work, a distance of 16 miles. It was raining on the way home, but no worse than the previous weeks. I put the bike on charge and forgot all about it until last...

I am considering changing to a Woosh Karoo that will be more suited to my commute, so I need the space. The bike is basically stock, except for the wheels that I have changed to a lighter cassette rear and a matching front. I've fitted my own saddle and changed the tyres for Schwalbe Marathon...

I'm thinking of getting a Woosh Karoo. It looks ideal for my commute. I currently have a Woosh Sirocco CDL that I easily derestricted using the King Meter display. On Friday, on my undulating 8.1-mile commute, I averaged 16.7mph. Not bad for such a heavy lump (the bike, not me. Although...) I'd...

A while ago I built up a bike using a Ridgeback hybrid frame. I used a SRAM Automatix, 2-speed hub for simplicity. It was intended for a canal towpath commute that didn't happen. It is now a bit defunct, as it's not very good on hills, or, better put, I'm not very good on hills! Anyway, I am...

I have a Woosh Scirocco CDL. I bought it off eBay recently - my first electric bike. I've been using it on my commute to work and it's OK. I'm averaging 15mph over the route that includes some hills and well-surfaced cycle paths. However, it is ponderous when starting, because it's a heavy...

I got my hands on my first ebike today: a Woosh Scirocco CDL. Bought off eBay at what I consider to be a bargain price, it replaces thoughts I had of getting a motorbike for the new 8-mile commute I'll have from next week. There's plenty of off-road tracks on my route and it rattled a bit today...
