    tricky situation. It can come from a unsuitable driver for your motherboard. I would install a minimalist windows from scratch to anther HDD to prove that the USB windows drivers and the motherboard don't cause trouble.

    Cheapish Motor Wheels

    I do think all the time of all the people who just need some parts that have at my shop. However, it's down to the amount of support. I can't tell someone who buys only a controller, not to expect to be helped with support and I can't expect Andy to treat someone who buys just one controller any...

    Cheapish Motor Wheels

    I own the premises and the stock is fully paid in advance, so I have a lot to lose if I get caught cheating on VAT. My main problem is this, I need to sell a sufficiently large number of units for each and every model of wheels such as XF07, XF08C etc. I can't afford to change very much a kit to...

    you have to live outside the UK to cheat, either directly or use a Chinese intermediary (dropshipping and transshipping). If you live here, Border Force can catch you. I can set up an internet shop but I live either in France or in the UK.

    No, that is not correct. If they charge the correct fees and taxes, they cannot compete against bona fide local businesses. I recently imported a new frame. Here is the breakdown of fees: Documentation (Docs) £100 Chinese Import Service Fee (CISF) £110 LCL Handling £45 £55 for a customs...

    The problem is Chinese businesses are truly outstanding, trustworthy and trusted people. It's only the Chinese internet shops that cause problems.

    Cheapish Motor Wheels

    Put yourself in my place. One obvious powerful reason is the advice freely given by forum members how to push the motorwheel or controller or whatever it is beyond what I agree to warranty and support. So when it breaks, I have to spend more than I should though no fault of my own.

    does that take into account the cheating that is going on with Chinese shops? A lot of Chinese shops do not pay UK taxes, none of them can be fined or jailed if they are caught cheating. If your parcel from PSWPower is investigated by Border Force, you are the one that will be fined, not the...

    Cheapish Motor Wheels

    let's pause a minute for thought. You and I have been on here many, many years. We have seen many more departures of traders on here than newcomers. The reason is simple: businesses outside the UK do not support this forum and every purchase made at a Chinese website weakens UK traders a little...

    in the time I posted it and refreshed the page, you have already posted a picture of your wife's trike. I could see that your wife needs a throttle. I could do the modification for you if you were in Southend.

    I sell complete motor wheels for about £150. Is it worth getting them from abroad?

    Curious about the difference between allowed wattage for 250W LPM ebikes and normal EU ebike legislation

    The sweet spot for crank drives is 90 to 100RPMs. You can easily hold to 25- 28mph unrestricted.

    we can agree that laws are not perfect, but there are inexpensive solutions available to those who are affected by some physical impediment. The worst hit are car drivers. My wife had to pay £75 fine through no fault of her own. The car in front stopped suddenly, just for about 5 seconds. This...

    It's possible to do this in firmware but I don't think it is necessary. You pedal normally with a ts kit. If you want to respect the spirit of the law, you also pedal when climbing a hill, the throttle makes possible to pedal as much as you like.
