you need to adjust the gear shifter cable. Usually this cable settles a bit from packing. To fix this, ask someone to help lifting the rear wheel so you can turn the cranks and adjust the cable. First, make sure you shift the gear positively, that is when you push on the thumb lever to change...

I too prefer slow ramp up on power, much kinder to the chain.

big trouble for the Pound this week. It just dipped below $1.30 again. Clearly, the world thinks that the BoE shoots blanks. what we really need is some direction.

then it must be the case of 'in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed are kings'. I wonder how the brexiteer ministers are doing at the moment.

we don't make things anymore but we still know how to 'manage'. apparently we make good money in consultancy.

that motor is fitted with Sturmey Archer 5-speed IGH. http://www.sturmey-archer.com/en/products/detail/rx-rf5 The whole motor + IGH weighs more than 6kgs though. It'd look nice and stealthy fitted to a frame like the woosh Big Bear but with the rear rack battery, it would be very back heavy. A...

Norway may veto UK joining EFTA. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/09/norway-may-block-uk-return-to-european-free-trade-association citing EFTA has signed trade agreements with 38 countries - a big country member like the UK may cause renegociation. The IFS estimates that brexit will...

AK, Keith was asking about hub drive and IGH. This IGH305 may do it but it's a DD motor, won't look right on the Gtech.

yes.

I have noticed flud uses dislike where disagree would have been more appropriate.

I reckon you'd be better off bidding for the one Nealh suggested. That one being the same model, has matching rim with your rear wheel

it looks very much standard 9-pin waterproof connector for motor with Hall. Look on your charger's label to confirm the voltage. If the charger output 42V then your motor is a 36V. yes. Can you post a link to the motor you want to bid for confirmation?

quite likely Rebecca. There should be some identification on the casing of the motor. it would be good if you can post a picture of the motor and a picture of the 9-pin connector for confirmation.

the woosh Zephyr CDN may be what you are after. http:/wooshbikes.co.uk/?zephyr-cdn 20" folder with hub gear and crank drive. Well within your budget.

The Pound hit its lowest point previously at EUR 1.04 in January 2009. The next low could well be parity next January. Right on cue for Mrs May to call the big 50. Then parliament will beg her that the pain inflicted to so many so far is enough, please stop and find another way.

David, with due respect, you have not ridden the Gtech or the Alamo. I test rode the Gtech and I liked it but would it sell at £1,699? no. I can get a Cube Reaction for £1,699. The GTech's fork is rigid to the point I found it harsh and stiff, you know what I am talking about, it does not...

I am retired - I help woosh with designing new bikes and support on this forum.

If you sell a £10k bike, you'd make the same as selling 10 £1k bikes except you only look after one customer instead of 10. Plus, the market of motorbikes is much bigger than ebikes. I think besides companies like 50cycles, e-bike direct and a few multiples, the vast majority of ebike sellers...

I did not say that. I said in my estimate, Gtech make £200 more on the Gtech Sport than Woosh make on the Karoo, there is plenty of margin to pay for TV ads. The £50 is my estimate that TV ads cost per bike to sell. That post was on the Gtech thread a couple of months ago. Since, woosh put up...

so frames are cheap in China. The whole world sources their frames there. What's new?
