    A almost perfect bike that needs to be returned

    A standard folding bike like a raleigh stowaway is about 15kg, so the Woosh as an e-folding bike at 22kg isn't ridiculously heavier. If you remove the battery thats down to about 20Kg. Is there a reason you're storing it in the basement as opposed to the porch?

    Vintage (style) conversion

    Side pull brakes were the original ones so thought I'd leave then (with inline brake sensors). The forks were a little worry for me as I wondered how they'd stand up, so after the pics were taken I fitted torque arms clamped to the forks for a bit more reassurance. But seem as strong as a modern...

    Vintage (style) conversion

    I haven't used my mountain bike for a while and when I do it's only been for towpaths and guided rides etc.. so it seems a bit overkill. With this in mind I rescued a vintage Swift bike for the cycling recycle project I work at to build a "Towpath Tootler". Its got a 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub...

    Computer Scammers

    Elephant Bikes

    Well I do work at a Cycling recycling project! Liked the look of the old Post office bikes, especially with a front cargo frame. I was thinking slim downtube battery, shame there's no mounts for front brakes or I would have gone front hub in a flash. These bikes were designed for taking a lot...

    Elephant Bikes

    I'm considering one of these to do a cargo conversion, only problem is the drum brakes make me favour a mid drive set up. Or should I scrap the front wheel and go hub? http://elephantbike.co.uk/elephant-bike.html/

    COBI bike system
