    woosh Santana2. This one has a medium sized rear motor, Bafang SWX02, smaller and less powerful than the Bafang BPM on the Big Bears but still gives about 30% more pulling power and acceleration than the standard sized motors found on most bikes, so very suitable for your weight. £839 with 13AH...

    Boefelli used to be more prominent, back in 2013 being the first Chinese manufacturers offering a mid motor. The only problem then, as now, is that the frame needs to be modified to fit the motor, not many vendors went with their motor. Then Bafang came along with their BBS01 with higher torque...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the great repeal bill introduced this early is clearly an attempt to sidestep possible parliament opposition to the direction of brexit. It should be voted down.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    possibly. However, Marine Le Pen is as articulate as Farage and much more guarded in her speeches than her dad or niece Marion Marechal, for that reason, she is even a bigger threat to the EU than Farage.

    that would need a treaty change, can't be done in a hurry. The immediate danger for the EU is Marine Le Pen. Her support group is not unlike Momentum, capable of rocking any boat at next French presidential election (April and May 2017). After Alain Juppe, Le Pen is leading and commands at least...

    the idea of 'continental partnership' can be summed up in this it's not far from Philip Hammond's own view.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    First ever bike!

    it's down to engineering. Chinese motors have simple designs, easy to service. German motors are sophisticated and expensive to service. Whichever you buy, motors need to be kept out of water and greased. The Wisper uses geared motor from aikema whereas Chinese bikes from Woosh and Kudos use...

    First ever bike!

    you'll get a better frame, better brakes, better fork, better crankset, pedals, saddle, grips, lights, rims, tyres etc. Still, £1,500 may not be enough to get you a German motor and battery. You should try the bikes before you buy but it's not wrong to compare specs of the bikes.

    I reckon they would ship direct from China to save time and freight. From my perspective, the CD bikes give a little better centre of gravity when you lift the bike and wield it about but there is little difference between a CD motor and a mid-size or large rear geared hub as far as traction and...

    my favourite scenario is for the UK to rejoin the EU mark II after the wave of nationalism subsides. It can be just around the corner, within the next 5 to 10 years.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    calling article 50 does not amount to breaking the Maastricht treaty though. Parliament has plenty of time to oppose or reverse it. I am much more enclined to wait for the (non) delivery of brexit promises. It's time for reflection. It's still possible to have a smaller cake and eat it (over the...
