    A almost perfect bike that needs to be returned

    Woosh T&Cs require that it is unused and in the original packaging. As do almost all other mail order and web companies in all retail fields. You can open the packaging to look at it but not use it so it shows. In the case of software and records no one, not even Amazon which has the most...

    Review of Woosh Krieger

    You could just put a strap around it. I do that with my battery and it stops it from rattling. I have heard of frame attached batteries jumping out of cradles on bad roads.

    A almost perfect bike that needs to be returned

    It isn’t as easy as that. You are only able to return goods and get a refund if they are unused and in the original packaging. Or if they are faulty, in which case obviously they will have been used to find that out. You should look at the terms and conditions on the website but it will almost...

    Kids on E-bikes

    There are kids versions of off road motorbikes too, and kids quad bikes. I doubt if they are legal but it doesn’t stop parents from buying them and allowing them to ride around on them. Sometimes to the annoyance of the neighbours. A couple of years ago someone was prosecuted when he allowed...

    tuning my bike for more speed

    There should be a simple way of changing the cut out speed in the settings on your bike. The reason it isn’t the same as tuning or chipping a car is because if you change the cut out speed to higher than is allowed under the law for pedelecs it becomes a motor vehicle, and needs to be insured...

    Using bike as static fitness ride in Winter

    I’d go out walking fast, preferably uphill with a dog if it’s pouring down. Or take up jogging if your knees are up to it. Better still If it’s just cold go out on the bike and use lower assist and you’ll soon warm up. Years ago I used a turbo trainer on the road bike in the deep winter, and I...

    Attaching lock bracket - paintwork

    A strip of old inner tube will do the job best. Insulation tape or self amalgamating tape will too, and any residue from insulation tape will polish off.

    Kalkhoff Agattu Impulse

    50 Cycles main showroom is in Loughborough. Still a way from you but not as far as Bristol. I can’t see it being diagnosed from a distance. It must have bad problems and would need to be fixed by someone who knows what they’re doing.

    Kalkhoff Agattu Impulse

    Just a guess and I’m sure someone who knows more will be here soon. But is it driving off fairly slowly as though the walk assist button is activating without being pressed?

    News: A-Bike Electric launches on Kickstarter

    I’d prefer a C5 to this roller skate with handlebars. It was Sinclair’s huge success in changing the way people traveled with that I had in mind.

    Nice One Froomey!

    Yes, well done Froome and Sky. The team got their acts together again after their bad last stage and helped him most of the way; and it was just about enough. Quintana will be tough in the years ahead though. He is a better climber than Froome and lost out this year early in the windy north...

    Best Value Electric MTB

    An Oxygen won the race up Park street last year didn’t it? How much is the rider and how much the bike though? Throttles may possibly be on the way out and not all bikes have them, but a race just using throttle might be interesting.

    Changing from from hub to BB

    Are any of these conversion motors available with TS now? I read here a while ago that there were to be some but I don’t know if they’ve come through.

    Hybrid Bike Recomendation Needed

    I don’t think it’s particularly overpriced at £1000 if someone is looking for a conversion like that. But that is the starting price and it’s been listed once at it and not sold. A BIN for that money would be okay. It is second hand but only just, since it’s only a few months old, and the cost...

    Hello, I'm interested in purchasing an electric bike...

    That is not a lot of money. If you look on eBay there are some sellers selling off old and bankrupt stock at those sort of prices, or otherwise it’s second hand. You can’t buy a decent none powered new bike for that and the electric parts cost more on their own. I would be very wary of buying...
