    Trade versus Non Trade Membership?

    Trex advises on woosh. Although I have seen him recommend oxygen recently. It's not really an issue for KTM as their bikes are suitable for a different customer. I don't think anyone asking for a full sus high performance bike for off-road use is going to really consider a whoosh Galileo I...

    Electric kit for Helios Tandem?

    The stoker would always have to pedal. The front ring and cranks are not synced so you would lose sync. The software is adjustable and can provide greater oomph.

    Electric kit for Helios Tandem?

    You are right the battery will have to work hard to climb two people. The questions are . What speed do you usually do on the flat? How heavy are you all up. How much climbing do you expect. If you do 16mph on flat then All the flat miles are freeExcept starting. Downhill costs when you...

    Mopeds with large wheels.

    Wicky I started with the cb125 t2 as well. The acceleration was slow and the handling crap, compared to the cb100n it maxed at around 65 but what fun throwing it on its side, zigzagging and generally nicer than the fat sluggish ( but faster eventually)125. Those were the days before mr smith and...

    Electric kit for Helios Tandem?

    I'm thinking that 30 tooth wheel suggests very slow grinding up hill. Spinning the bbs has some advantage with the gears keeping it turning and driving despite slow speed. A hub motor particularly a restricted one can( only can) become inefficient at slow to stalling speed. The current goes up...

    The 30 tooth chain wheel Is not an issue. The BBS uses a bespoke mount for the chain wheel. But you can buy an aftermarket 30 tooth ring or the bbs adaptor to fit a 130 pitch(bcd?) chainring.

    Mopeds with large wheels.

    Upgrades, modifications & changes you should have made sooner.

    It has to be going bent. The efficiency gains along with comfort makes this old man a lean mean cycling machine. I can go out and bash out a 30 mile run in two easy hours or go all day in comfort. Dam the upwrong and its inefficient design and the uci who covered there commercial arses in 1930's.
