Ok lets continue with the comparison of what I will call the current Nano and the new Goldant motors. Lets start with weights. Nano Goldant I guess slight extra over published specs is for wire and washer/nut fittings. Main body/flanges On the Goldant the main body is wider as...

I would hold off for a little while if you want to see how well it works. There are a few challenges I have already identified, one of which I suspect is that the motor might not be as quiet as the current "Nano" variant . I am just uploading more pics as I type. Regards Jerry

I think all the ones without the controller built in are silver as standard though I am sure you could request black as they seem fairly flexible even offering to drill it with 28 or 32 holes. The pedelec disk should fit as there is a gap though it may require a little "modification". I am...

Or you could try one of these :p Regards Jerry

Been taking lots of photos and having a good look at the new motor. Its too late to post all the pics now but here is a taster until I upload the other pics and give a run down of the parts tomorrow :p New and original Tongxins shown side by side. Regards Jerry

Disappointing for sure :( How much are you paying for your kit ? It might be worth putting your business elsewhere. Regards Jerry

DHL delivered my new motor this morning. Will post some pics tonight after work. As stated it is physically smaller (diameter) than the current Tongxin offering as well as being about 0.6kg lighter. The controller is small and is pedelec only so going to need some explanation from you guys on...

I may start a new thread for my build but in the meantime I picked up Brompton M3LX last week. I am trying to learn how to change the white balance on the camera as this bike frame is VERY white lol It is crying out for a Union Jack sticker somewhere on the main frame :p Overall I am...

Came across a very nice blog showing some construction details of these. Regards Jerry

That seems like quite a lot of drag to me. The offer is there if you want to pop over. Happy to give you some tips on wheel building and maintaining your system. Ps one of the videos of my motor was when I was having problems with it. I find the freewheel on the Tongxin to be good...

Thanks for the stay tip. Yes others have stretched the forks quite a bit to fit 100mm wide motors, so I am hoping that stretching mine to fit an 80mm motor will be ok :p Regards Jerry.

Just had an email this morning saying my motor has shipped. Yesterday I also picked up my brand new white Brompton M3L-X. Well I say brand new it must be the last new 2011 Titanium model around, as Brompton have no delivery dates for Ti models due to sourcing/quality problems. I will need to...

Plus one for the plus's if its puncture protection you are after :p Note you still sometimes get punctures with them but its pretty rare! I prefer lighter/faster rolling Kojaks and am prepared to fix punctures, one in 8 months/1500 miles so far. The wire beaded ones are also much cheaper...

Nice review thanks. That sounds like quite a few issues/challenges over the last 6 months. What sort of mileage do you cover on a weekly basis/how many miles have you done to date ? Welcome to the forum BTW. I myself have a Brompton conversion based around the Tongxin motor. If I am correct...

Import duty/VAT seems to be a lottery no matter who you use! I just take the view you win some you lose some. Its still a a shock when you do get charged though :eek: The £8 admin fee some charge is a pain, especially if your item just exceeds the duty level. In this case I still think the...

I have visited the Falklands a few times and it is amazing to see the high regard and respect that the people there have for her. Streets are named after her and many of the pubs have pictures of her up on the wall. One thing that I remember from her was her likening herself to Royalty or...

Two, one to set off and one for cruising, in flat Cambridge anyway :p Regards Jerry

I always chuck my EBrompton in the boot when I take my care for a service :p Regards Jerry

Dave posts here under kudoscyles and you can email him :) Regards Jerry

Sounds like a plan. I look forward to reading and following your progress :) Regards Jerry
