    Need help selecting ebike

    Sorry IR772 my apologies I couldn't recommend such a powerful bike. It,s motor is illegal even for soundwave, too powerful and not speed limited. Even if it is so cool,value for money etc.

    Need help selecting ebike

    Buy a woosh or whisper for less than a grand, get over 2 years out of it then buy another for less than a grand and hay presto you have over 4 years cycling for less than the bosh price. And the first bike might do 5 years anyway :D

    Woosh Bikes

    The 250watt regulations have a bit of a loop hole. The test is can the motor deliver that without burning out. So a 1000 watt capable motor can deliver 250 and the manufacturer can label it 250 watt and its legal250 watt motor. At first motors were small but in the desire to win the our bike is...

    What do you think of Byocycle for a new rider?

    Welcome Sam. The law says on a new bike you have to be moving the pedals before the motor works. I think it's a cadence sensor on that bike. So you just have to move the pedals but you don't need to press hard to get full power out of the motor. It it has a full speed throttle then it will go...

    Which route to take?

    They do come in three heights, low mid and high racer. As well as two and three wheel designs. ( Kirsten makes his) My mid racer has me on eye line with most car drivers. But not looking over them. The first 30 mins is pure terror! After that it gets fun, speed in comfort.

    Which route to take?

    If you don't go off road then look at recumbents. My wrist is shot so I have moved to one and wouldn't go back. Conversations are the cheapest high performing option.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Panasonic crank drives I did well over 3,000 miles and the bikes were second hand before I started using them. So expected life of +5 years on a motor and +10,000 miles.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Bloody well hope not. We have no need for any war if we can help it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Apart from throttles for disabled? Otherwise yip speed limit for cars of 30 mph or 50kph it's all the same.

    control vdu problems

    Where are you then? There are three main areas for the fault, display unit. It is putting out some message? Cabling so clean and redo connectors. And controller. A replacement costs £100 ish. Faultfinding is normally plug in known good bits and see where the fault goes.

    What do you think is best for me?

    Portacabins? We must be told more.

    What do you think is best for me?

    All bikes have punctures and chain replacements required. Impulse have a very high failure rate for a premium product. Woosh, whisper are cheaper and have had few issues in relation to the volume sold. So local is handy but not everything.

    What do you think is best for me?

    Ah Perseus both those bikes have the infamous impulse motor. Find out about that then decide if you have any interest.

    Welcome, it's a nice bike and I want to see the photos of yours. Ps the most comfortable bike is a recumbent, no scope for argument there. But apart from that :)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You can object to OG's post. That's your prerogative. But my objection to tilsons repetitive abuse stands he had no need to post his picture, then to continue the insults. Why? it added nothing but offence. . The only common theme is woman idiot and Scottish. Racial and or sexual harassment...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As you obviously we're aware on page 243 of the definition of racial harassment. Repeated insulting of the Scottish party leader is taken by me as deliberate racial insulting.

    If it was road legal and insured then fine. But not as an uninsured motorcycle in bikes clothing. That gets a bad name for the legal ones. If you need a moped then some of the Honda ones are really good.
