hub motors need regreasing around every 4,000 miles, more frequent if you ride in rain a lot. Beside the grease, the serviceable parts are cheap: 4 ball bearings about £3 apiece and the clutch unit costs about £20 to replace. The clutch unit can last 10,000 miles. About the cheapest running cost...

I was hoping that Trump's win would give the pound a little respite but that did not last long. The pound continues today on its downward path. $1.23 this morning, heading for $1.15 by Christmas. A new round of price rise for e-bikes in the new year seems likely now.

Tom, it seems to me that Trump was right to make the rust belt (Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pensylvania) that voted for Obama his target. Clinton was associated with Wall Street, that's her downfall. He only has to tell them that he is their messenger, he'll tell Wall Street to change or else and...

flimsy lock?

it seems to me on both occasions, a large number of voters use their vote as molotov cocktail.

US election: 231,556,622 eligible voters : 46.9% didn't vote 25.6% voted Clinton 25.5% voted Trump Trump won. Incredible.

Clinton lost the election but won the popular vote and made a gracious speech, just half an hour ago. I wonder what would happen if the situation were reversed, would Trump have accepted the result or claimed that the the election was rigged and the institutions corrupt? I also watched the...

Sturgeon prefers a looser grouping with the larger EU to the UK.

the ONS confirms that in September, UK trade deficit widens despite the cheaper pound. Imports rose while exports dropped, not the way Mrs May would have liked. If it carries on, the drip drip bad economic news will soon make hard brexit a non runner. There are about 3 million brexit voters who...

I don't think it's likely, at least not in GB. We should wait and see if this parliament and the next support hard brexit. My guess they will not. there are a lot of angry voters and xenophobic MPs but there are more reasonable voters and more intelligent MPs.

This time, the little people went out to vote more than ever before for brexit and Donald Trump. but the world is still run by the well educated elites and capitalist billionaires. brexit and Donald Trump won't be able to deliver on their promises. You can see that in the current brexit roll...

The Zephyr 2017 comes only in matt black colour. They are on their way, arriving around middle of December. I don't know the price but I reckon around £1,100. The Legend Etna with 11.6AH costs £1,249 + £159 for the battery upgrade.

this is the woosh 2017 Zephyr-b: hydraulic brakes, SR XCM DS with remote lockout. 11.6AH as standard. Throttle. Let me know what you think.

Mrs May to make Farage our ambassador in the USA next year?

winning has its downside. How is he going to deliver on his promises? Like brexit, Trump made promises that are very difficult to deliver, some of them are even contradictory. If anything, Trump will accelerate the rise of China as #1 economic power.

I don't mean to answer in the OP's place, but from my experience, these bikes are much more suited to ride on unmade paths because of the full suspension and the in-frame battery. They are also accepted in trains.

Toblerone may lose another triangle, you'd better hurry.

the EURO is the natural safe haven at the moment.

the dollar is falling right now but I am sure it will settle very soon. Trump promised huge spending program and tax cuts, so the pound will have a respite $1.25 maybe. It's the failure of centre ground politics and the triumph of antiestablishmentarianism.

for your planned commute, you should get the 11.6AH battery to avoid having to recharge your battery at work. Woosh won't have 11.6AH battery until mid December.
