You just don't need 750/1000w for that kind of riding. Apart from the legalities of being caught on public pavements/roads, seizure/penalty points on your licence, even a fully legal geared 250w motor will propel you beyond the legal assisted 15.5mph limit if that's what you're winking about.

If the D21 does reappear, it too will likely be 1kg heavier with the new/more powerful motor as the D11 now has. I don't think it will though; the whole idea backfired badly by selling to those who otherwise would've bought an X. You could always fit quick release pedals and a quick...

Do Fiido still make/offer the D21 in the UK? There're a few still left in Europe, but my thinking is it's been/being dropped in light of Fiido's repositioning... they've already dropped the D4s and D2s as they introduce Gravel, Carbon, and more new full-sized Fat-tyre models. The folding X model...

IMHO, it looks identical to both the Mycle and Estarli. IIRC those are cadence sensor and have slightly smaller seat-post batteries, but come in a wider choice of colours.

If Hygge say there is a way and even offer/can sell you the throttle, there must be a way even if you can't see it. To me it'd seem the plug is either buried in those cable wraps, or it comes with a long lead/extension to run back to the controller and plugs directly in there. Why don't you...

I don't really understand your issue... Hygge will sell you a throttle for their bikes for £39.95. The only caveat is you need to sign a liability disclaimer if you order one. From Hygge's website:

You don't say which of the several 20" wheeled hygge bikes you've bought... but why can't you just use the throttle hygge themselves sell here?

I agree, it's not a victimless crime... the shortfall has to be collected from the populous in general. When I first ordered my Fiido D11, it was sent via road (DPD) from Poland - this was shortly before Brexit. It got seized/stopped at the docks in France before it even got on the boat; I...

Yes, I really do understand Origin and all that - I've imported from Far East by the pallet (not containers). I can see that happening on small shipments where the loss if seized can be absorbed/written off. In 95% of cases I am seeing VAT and duty both added/collected at source. But are you...

I'm not attacking anyone... I'm simply asking a member to explain the logic underlying their conclusions, because my own experience running several companies (both my own and divisions of large corporates) over 48 years doesn't concur. Over the years, I've closed three companies and just...

In context that's petty nonsense, not the largest Chinese e-bike makers importing hundreds of e-bikes by the container-load without paying tax. There're examples of fraud everywhere; we've all had the odd package being marked "sample" and not value declared.

Yes: You've explained how you operate many times before. I get your business model and how it works. What you haven't explained is how you arrive at (and assert with conviction) the following beliefs: I have to say all the Chinese product I'm importing (not e-bike related) is (now) being...

Actually not true. I'm being offered iPhone repair kits to evaluate from the Chinese... but I won't accept them because I personally on principle won't use/buy/support Apple products. I do love people who buy Apple products and Tesla products though... I have shares in both, and their absurd...

And here come the excuses... in many cases, you've added significant amounts of text/reasoning since responses were posted! My point would be that the Chinese have recognised the resistance as to why some Western/European customers were/are still reluctant to buy their products... Far East...

It's a little alarming how you've gone back and since edited virtually all your posts/responses... I think that's called "covering your arse"... is that in case HMRC are reading this? ;)

I meant the bike you cycle to work on, not "cycle to work" as in the scheme. Did you declare it, or are you too playing games? It's a rhetorical question. I'm not sitting here pretending to be whiter than white... just that it seems to be pot calling the kettle black. If you're so concerned...

I don't. I know enough about trans-shipping and the games that can be played... I've imported enough stuff from the Far East over the years. Even Alibaba and Ebay are (at least supposed to be) collecting duties and VAT on HMRC's behalf from non-UK domiciled companies. Of course, they'll all be...

Fiido do have service agents in London and Manchester - hardly extensive coverage, but then they also have their video library showing you how to fix most faults anyway here After-sales service - YouTube. If you couldn't do it, anybody handy - or even a mobile mechanic/shop - could watch the...

Saneagles original post was in reference to Eleglide bikes/parts. If you'd already bought an Eleglide bike and needed a new controller, display or motor wheel you'd be a fool not to go back to them for spares if only to ensure 100% compatibility. Fiido do the same - as do an increasing number...

Yose sell the Phylion SF-06 battery which was a common type for Carrera e-bikes up to 2018/19. Yours is the newer type... I've looked before but never found one either, but remind us (post a picture) of what it says on the label (maker identifiers) and some here would probably look again. Your...
