    Hi everyone

    Looks like a nice enough bike at that price. As Gaz said, it's always a bit risky buying a bike you haven't even sat on. However might be worth giving Panda a call. I'd want to know a What cells are in the battery b Do the forks have disc brake mounts (if not I'd definitely be looking at...

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    Autonomous bikes ! Oooo goody goody:cool: Defensive driving/riding is the only way to go, as any surviving motorcyclist knows very well.

    Hi everyone

    Hi Moss, There are two methods by which the bikes control detects rotation of the pedals in order to give power. One is torque sense, the other rotation sense (pas). Given what you say about your knees I would guess that the latter would suit you better. With this type you can continue to get...

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    A 1.5 metre plant bed? Bloody luxury mate. Some of the ones I see don't even have a white line. Even at my leisurely 12-14mph these get a bit hairy.

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    Yup, that's true of politicians generally, they must be seen to be doing something in case we realise that they're actually useless/dangerous. I reference the Northern Ireland thread. According to todays papers, the first thing looked at will be a new law specifically for bikes (oh carp!)...

    Help with brakes

    I fitted what D8veh is suggesting. It is awesome. If your front brake is Tektro mechanical then the pads may be these: https://www.evanscycles.com/aztec-organic-disc-brake-pads-for-tektro-lyra-mechanical-callipers-EV184351

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    I wish the motorists outside my house - where there is no pavement - knew that. A few months ago I nearly got totalled by a woman doing 40+, in a Range Rover, with a phone glued to her ear. Don't think she even saw me walking up the white line edge. It seems that everyone is in a self...

    Walk mode.

    That's right, I remember now. But the throttle's way to useful as it is, that's why I've never reset it. Thanks John.

    No heatshrink - no problem.

    The guy's obviously a nutter and total genius. His tidy workshop puts me to shame:rolleyes:

    Walk mode.

    For me the German bikes are too locked in as well as overpriced. Look at all the posts with people trying to replace batteries or get motors repaired. Better the generic Chinese approach. 'New controller sir? No problem, take your pick'. Wifes Big Bear has walk assist, but you have to hold...

    Cycled around the world in 79 days!

    It's the mentality that drives that kind of achievment that I find awesome.

    Crank or Rear Hub?

    Front hub traction is not a problem. On the very steepest (I'm talking 1:5+, with slimey or loose surface) I get some scrubbing, usually handled by putting my shoulders over the bars. No problems with wheel dishing to fit, did have to go up a disc size though, but the the Ezee is a big motor...

    Just Bought XTreme Trail Maker - PAS issue

    Can't see too well from the photo, but it looks like the pas disc is mounted on the inside of your chainring. It's a black disc about 60mm in diameter, with 8-12 little magnets set in it. On the frame, somewhere down there, there will be a sensor. The magnets should pass within about 1mm of...

    Better mudguards then a badger stripe up the back.

    Hi all

    :)Don't think there is one. I'm not connected to Woosh, my wife has a Big Bear and I know it to be a rugged basic bike at a good price point. Thought it would be a good start for your research. Maybe I should have said, 'Other suppliers are available'.
