You still haven't told us your weight. When you read stuff in magazines, the riders are always very slim and fit cyclists. Your average middle-aged unfit and slightly over-weight guy is not going to get the same experience. Torque figures are a bit like range - completely meaningless. Motors...

If it started after the tyre change, it's almost certainly a motor cable connection issue. If the above doesn't fix it, you need to look the other end of the motor cable where it's connected to the controller. After that, there are a few other possibilities, so in the meantime, you need to tell...

One more important point. Many ebikes, mainly those costing more than £1500, but it's not an exact rule, use comms in the electronics, which lock you out of any repair activities. Typically, you get a code displayed in your LCD, which you can't find out what it means, so your only option is to...

You should have said: I bought a box of 100 spoke magnets from Aliexpress for about a tenner about 8 years ago, and I've only used two.

Why not a magnet on every spoke, then change it to 36?

What's the question? You've just repeated what I wrote. That's without brake switches. It's 5m with them.

Don't be too judgemental. The Woosh bike is a pretty standard Chinese bike that has standard parts that are all easily obtainable and/or upgradeable, similar to many Chinese bikes, but the Woosh has good backup for support and service. You can buy bikes for half the price from Amazon and Ebay...

This is probably as cheap as you can get it in this country and german Ebay is pretty good if you can find someone who will ship to UK: https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/bosch-powerpack-400-rack-type-battery-pack https://www.ebay.de/b/Bosch-Akku-400/177814/bn_7005319543

If you're capable of fixing electrical stuff yourself, you can get a perfectly adequate ebike for around £500 that'll last you a lifetime. They have standard parts that are easily and cheaply available from a number of sources. If you can't do that, it's best to buy a bike from a local dealer...

Which battery is it? Somebody here can probably find one for you at a good price.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I've never seen one either.

You can do that with any bike that has a KT controller and display. Some of the Bosch dongles can be switched on and off from the light switch. There are many other ways to get the same, but if you're seen going uphill at some impossible speed for a fat middle-aged guy, they're going to get you.

I've seen them do it in a Youtube video posted here about a year ago. I said at the time that I could have got the guy off if I was there. That's the only way they can test. they look for a throttle, lift the wheel up and open the throttle to see what speed is shown on the LCD. If you have an...

Any part of the bike can injure you in an accident. It just depends how you fall or how you get hit. Recently, I got lanced by a cut branch of a tree. I was riding along an off-road cyclepath that had a big puddle in it, so I was going down the side, rubbing against the bushes. Inside one of...

The problem is overshoot that all ebike motors have since the speed measurement is a lagging indicator. The power is on, accelerating the motor, but with no load, the acceleration is so fast that the speed overshoots before the controller gets feedback to switch off the power. The main...

The problem is that it's difficult to do any DIY test of the battery, since it needs the comms to switch on, and the same with the charger. You can only test them with Bosch equipment that dealers have. You can open the battery to test it with a meter, but it takes a bit of leverage to get the...

That's a bit like saying why do all Trump's cabinet breathe. You've chosen a characteristic that affects all politicians and just about allother groups of people that have anything to do with power and control. Can you name a single politician in the Western world that has had no controvercies?

If it's got a block connector, the pins are held in with little barbs. Use something pointy to hold down the barb while you pull the pin out with the wire, then swap them over. Don't forget that throttles are illegal if they give more than 4 mph without pedalling. Out of the commonly available...
