sorry to hijack the thread, just a quick question. I wonder if you get yourself into a business converting push bikes to electric - would your customers get the 400 Euros premium?

25A or 30A 30mm fuses: they are about 20p a piece at Maplin. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25A-Glass-Fuse-Classic-Car-Auto-25-Amp-30mm-Length-Electronic-Pack-of-10-/400881332311 You should check the fuse first. If you don't have a tester, use the suspect fuse in the working battery. If the fuse is...

my daughter attended a grammar school where I worked briefly.

the heads and staff are recruited from the same people. Where does the elitism come from flud? surely not from the pupils.

flud, it's based on personal experience and the schools I visited. 'private education paid for by government' - no, totally untrue. It's simply a stream with similar funding, ethos and level of equipment. The visible difference is the atmostphere which may have something to do with single sex...

sorry we have our wires crossed. There are still 163 grammar schools. When I said 'I blame the abolition of grammar schools', I mean the move to abolish the 11+ test in many counties and to force conversion of grammar schools to non-selective schools has a big detrimental effect on the number of...

on the Big Bear, the fuse is a glass fuse, below the lock ring, controller side, marked 'FUSE'. Use a large crosshead screwdriver, turn (a quarter turn?) anti-clockwise to open it.

KD demonstrated that you can get a very big range if you push the bike regularly above the maximum cut off speed.

flud, you misunderstood me completely. A kid failing his/her 11+ goes to on to a comprehensive school, he/she is not a failure and won't be one if the school does a good job. It does not worsen the prospect of that kid, that is my point. The lucky kids who pass the 11+ and go to a grammar school...

Their 128SX is equivalent of the Q128. his motor looks like the 100SX from Aikema. http://www.aikema.com.cn/En_ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=292

d8veh is in Telford, send him a PM. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/conversations/add?to=d8veh Check the gap between the brake pads and the rotor at the rear wheel for binding. You need about a millimetre gap on each side. Check also for binding between the largest rear cog and the motor shell.

this is just rhetoric. Are you saying that if a kid goes to a comprehensive school, he is written off?

I blame the abolition of grammar schools by successive governments since the 70s

the market in France was 35,000 in 2014 and there are even more dealers there than in the UK. You are one of the veterans of the industry and your bikes always strike me as very well thought out, so I am not surprised that you go over the magic number. For a proper e-bike manufacturer, what are...

something tells me that everyone gets less for their money until the next general election when this comedy is going to be reversed.

market condition is changing as a result of brexit, nothing else, and customers are punished though not their fault, sellers are punished for 'not having contingency plan'. We can still avoid the whole impending recession and inflation by coming to term that the brexit is a bad move for all but...

the way revolut works is incompatible with commercial transactions. You can only get this rate because it has a reward element for using their prepaid Mastercard for the transaction. Normally, the fx market reports a bid price and an ask price either side of the market rate, the difference to...

EdJ, you could have had the messages mixed up, I know Woosh will fit a pair of Schwalbe marathon plus tyres and Schwalbe innertubes to the Karoo for £50, they don't stock them so it will take them a few days, perhaps that's what they mean. Better wait a week for the bike to be properly built by...

I have been told this week to create a 20" folding bike for the sensitive retail price of £699. Even at the lowest possible multiplicator of 1.5 based on $1.35, that leaves me with a budget of $466 per bike - if the Pound drops below that level in the new year, the whole spring season for woosh...

Mike, you can get any bike shop to upgrade the brakes on the Oxygen to hydraulic. It'll take them about an hour.
