    Is it just me?

    Am I starting to suffer dementure? I used to be able to understand what people wrote when they described their problems. Now, nearly every initial post seems to be in some sort of code. No sentences, no full stops, just unrelated cryptic phrases that are (for me) impossible to separate from each...

    Interesting Bosch Motor Information

    This guy came to fame about 6 or seven years ago when he reverse engineered a KU63 controller so that he could adjust it for his solar bike project. No it looks like he's been playing with a Bosch Active Line Motor, and running it with an external controller. IIUC, with an external controller...

    Just spotted this on Ideal World. You get all the normal advantages of buying from a big mail order company like that (flexypay), plus you get a bike that you have complete control over the programming for speed, power, etc and relatively cheap replacement parts for a crank-drive bike...

    Swytch Kits

    Things have been a bit quiet recently. By now some of you guys that ordered them must have them installed and been going for a while. Can anyone that has one make some comments? I see the price is now up to £749, which is a long way above the £225 kickstarter price. Did you get your money's...

    Ele tric Bike Reviews

Google often prompts you to make a review of something when it knows you've bought an item or service. I think that's a good idea as it prompts regular people to make honest reviews, however, it hasn't...

    Medeleine McCann

    Forget Hollywood blockbusters. This is absolutely compulsive viewing. It'll keep you going for hours and hours. You've been warned. This film series is completely free and can be redistributed. It's not been made for profit. The guy has done it only in the interest of the truth. It has...

    Wish

    Any body buying from Wish? I just received my first test orders. And am pleased with the prices and service as well as the quality of the items considering the prices. They do a lot of stuff and some of it is free, where you only have to pay a minimal pistage charge. You get extra disvounts if...

    Throttles allowed?

    When I'm out and about doing my bike repairs I hear a lot of interesting stories. The latest one goes something like this. A large pizza chain wants to buy a very large number of ebikes for pizza deliveries. A known ebike supplier comes up with a proposal and explains the restrictions on...
