    Go-e On Wheel anyone tried it?

    I'd also be very interested in reading a real world review of it...... if reviews are favourable about it, i may consider it for fitting to my road bike. I like the fact its small & unobtrusive and i keep both my standard wheels and gearing. Looks a simple fit as well. Not sure whether 24V will...

    Avoiding canal or footpath conflict.

    Would be handy to throw at cats that enter the garden.

    Bike Lock

    I use a U Lock combined with a cable.... its a PITA to carry this heavy **, but i only have to carry it when going into town where i'll be locking my bike up. Those Oxford locks and the like..... they are just short sections of hollow steel tubes. I once had to cut one off due to not having...

    Avoiding canal or footpath conflict.

    Dont bother with a bell on my road bike, cos its almost always on the road. My conversion hybrid spends a lot of time on cycle paths and canal sides, so has a ping bell fitted. People always hear it and its not so loud like a horn that would annoy pedestrians. In fact i think a bell is an...

    cb radios

    Used a CB for many years when i was a trucker, they really are invaluable for this work and are still widely used by truckers. My last full time job, that i was in for 11 years was driving for a Somerfield regional distribution center. Couldn't use my rig then, as in this sort of work you have a...

    2016 Woosh Karoo hub drive

    When i first saw the pics of this bike last year, the grips were the first thing that stood out for me, not in a good way either. Whatever possessed the manufacturer to think that a pair of grips more suited to a Harley Davidson would suit this bike is beyond me. That aside, i think this bike is...

    Failed on my first big hill

    Ha, Coopers Hill...... the lunatics go down it almost as fast as the cheese.

    Failed on my first big hill

    The hub drive on my bike is pretty crap for hills and if the battery is down by 30 or 40% then the assistance on an incline is virtually nonexistent. Luckily i dont have many hills where i live. I dont discount hub drive because of this though, i'm sure there are hub drives that are loads better...

    Bike is due for replacement (again). Best commuter for £1,000

    It wouldn't bother me for general riding...... but if likely to rain when left outside all day at work, i would just put a small plastic bag over the display, held on with an elastic band.

    Do you swing both ways?

    I'm still swinging both ways..... as i still haven't yet decided whether to fit an ekit to my Giant road bike. Although it hardly gets used compared to my hybrid bike that does have an ekit fitted to it.

    should ktm bikes sell sclass bikes without proof of private land.

    As far as i'm concerned..... sellers of non legal ebikes are selling a product that they are legally allowed to do and supplying a product that people want. Long may they continue.

    should ktm bikes sell sclass bikes without proof of private land.

    Bit more than just annoyed i think..... the phrase 'throwing the toys out your pram' more like. Using cap locks and telling him not to post on your thread. As for the moral stance.... well its pretty obvious that the main reason is business related. Anyone that buys a non legal ebike aren't...

    should ktm bikes sell sclass bikes without proof of private land.

    Yeah yeah.... same old same old from you. You just dont want others selling what you dont want to sell.... just like you dont want others posting on threads you start if its not in keeping with your views. Smacks of being a control freak imo.

    should ktm bikes sell sclass bikes without proof of private land.

    Telling your own dealers what to sell and not what to sell is fair enough.... but not other dealers. We all know you're on mission about non legal ebikes from all sellers. I see no difference from someone selling a non legal ebike, or a dongled CD bike, to someone selling pitbikes. You could go...

    Aldi

    If it fails within a year you'll probably be offered a refund, but if it fails in year 2 or 3 Aldi will likely tell you they'll send it back to their supplier to be repaired or replaced. I had this with a personal DVD player i once bought from them.

    Time to "lube up"!!!

    Shafts add a lot of weight and they sap power, also if they do go wrong its big bucks to repair or replace. As i said, pro's & cons to each.

    Time to "lube up"!!!

    Many of my previous m/c's have been shaft drive, but i'm now back to chain on my current one. After 40 years i still cant make up my mind which i prefer.... there's equal advantages and disadvantages on each.

    That case... and the public interest

    Its also likely that they'll ignore your request.... as Soundwave has done on this thread. You dont own this forum, you cant order other posters not to comment on your thread.
