They certainly will not & even if they did it wouldn't be evidence. If the police require a blood test for drink or drugs they call their own Forensic Medical Examiner (FME) to come & take the blood test.

The certainly do make removable water bottle cages as I've just removed one from my Wisper 705 Torque that the previous owner had fitted. I found it annoying on a step through bike to catch my foot on the cage when stepping through.

It is worth looking out for a suitable bike used. My wife & I between us have bought a couple of Woosh & one Wisper step through with hydraulic disc brakes for £450, £500 & £800 respectively.

It's simple to see that vaccination prevents serious consequences of the disease. Less than 13% of the adult population in the UK is unvaccinated yet they make up 60% of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19.

I'm the OP & the bike will be advertised for sale on the Woosh website next month when I get back from France. I am in Essex but as your forum name is belfastbiker I assume that buying mine is not an option due to our locations.

Firstly by major retailers like Halfords selling e-Scooters only mentioning in the small print that they are illegal to use pretty much anywhere.

By way of comparison I rode one of my other e-bikes yesterday afternoon a Woosh Sundowner https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?sundowner This felt much more natural to pedal & I was never in the situation where there was no resistance on the pedals. I don't know whether that is because the motor is less...

Sorry but that is completely over my head. I just want the bike to be a bit more responsive feedback-wise. I might be better cutting my losses selling the Big Bear LS & putting the money towards a bike that feels more natural.

I understand the difference between cadence & torque sensors but wasn't aware of the difference between speed & current controllers. I now have a Wisper 705 Torque & that's the most natural feeling e-bike I have ridden but that is at our place in France. Do you have a link to a suitable...

I'm not a particularly fit or capable cyclist & it would make precious little difference if I was. On level 1 it rapidly gets to 12-13mph with some light pedalling. On level 2 it very quickly gets to 15-16mph with even lighter pedalling. Level 3-5 are the same as level 2. I am cycling in North...

Last year I bought a used very low mileage & excellent condition Woosh Big Bear LS https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear-ls. I initially had a problem with a missing key that I resolved with jiggler keys on a recommendation from this forum...

Just because you & I have never had an accident where a cycle helmet would have protected us doesn't negate the need to wear one. For obvious reasons we don't have any replies from those who suffered serious head injuries because they weren't wearing a helmet but there are a couple of posts in...

This is not true. There are even a couple of posts in this thread that describe cycle accidents where there would have been serious injury if a helmet had not been worn & they were not riding fast or extremely. Wearing a helmet is like having insurance 99.9% of the time you don't need it but...

I always wear gloves when cycling. I learned that lesson age 16 when I came off my motorbike sliding on grit on a bend & wound up with road rash on both palms. I wouldn't dream of riding a motorbike any more but I definitely wear gloves while cycling.

Then there are are those dead or brain damaged ex-cyclists who didn't have the same luck as you in predicting when they would need to be wearing a cycle helmet.

Did anyone claim there was? I certainly didn't. On a personal level there is no downside to wearing a helmet. It reduces your chances of head injury quite significantly. If you don't accept that & want the freedom to sustain brain damage & facial injuries you are deluded.

A cycle helmet will not do much to protect the wearer when struck by a car. If you want to guarantee greater protection you need a full face motorcycle helmet. Cycle helmets help prevent head injury in relatively low speed accidents just as simple as toppling over from standing or at the...

You must have missed the link to the Guardian review article that I posted earlier. Here is a link to a comprehensive meta-analysis (the statistical gold standard evidence-wise). https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/46/1/278/2617198?login=true Conclusions: Bicycle helmet use was associated with...

Link please Did you know that the US CDC & European Medicines Agency (EMA) & the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have all approved COVID-19 vaccination for those over 12 years of age? There are always going to be those for whom vaccination is not recommended eg those...

Why? What about all these thousands of regular commuters arriving at train stations? Do they just take a rental bike on impulse or is cycling the last mile or three to their workplace a planned activity that a little forethought can accommodate?
