    Another mid motor announced

    The lovely and ellegent solution the bosch, panasonic and bafang drives have engineered lies in the comparitively minute size and weight. The copper mass is similar to a 24v hand held drill and yet they can achieve such considerable low speed torque. Units like the aprillia, tonaro, cyclone etc...

    So Confused....

    As the mechanic and assistant marketing genius behind a 5 ebike hire racket in the far north this summer, I have lots of sympathy for all the moving, shaking dudes on the front line of ebike sales and development in urban UK, cheers chaps:) Pixie, for £1800 you should be able to buy the very...

    Which bike for the heavier rider? Wisper, Oxygen, Woosh, RooDog?

    Hi Mr O, you want to check out the tonaro range of bikes from powerpedals uk. They are heavy bikes themselves but like you, robust.. The aftersales is excellent and the tonaro drive system has yet to be matched regarding the delivery of weight from the bottom to the top of hillsides throughout...

    So Confused....

    Gosh. Like waking up in a wasps nest, what's happening to this forum? jon and kudos dave I recall well enough as good steady contributors to this once proud arena, not admin duty. This poor woman has been raped to the tune of £1800 for a duff bike and you queue for another go! what all this...

    the hub of the problem

    A sweet little old lady hubbled up to me the other day, smiled kindly, and asked me to repair her little old bike. Apparently the back wheel didnt, well, turn anymore and she demanded explanations, So I wheeled it the 5 miles home and amazingly the hub freed itself again so I could even peddle...

    Impulse & Panasonic Tuning Dongles!!

    I'm afraid I find all this a little distasteful. I do wish Martin and the other ebike salesmen on the front line every success; we do need enterprise and industry in this new environment and the more stressed out, hot headed, purple hooted car drivers metamorphosing into alpine fresh, vascular...

    Battery Balancing question

    Fully charged sic preferably within 0.1v, though 0.2v is prob fine. Remember the difference between 4v and 4.2v is less than 15% capacity whereas between 3.85v and 3.65v is over 35% - with lipo that is (ie not with lifepo), methinks.

    Tonaro owners unite !

    It is interesting the manner each individual controller delivers power. The stock controller on the Bighit is a hardy wee fellow and can deliver upto at least 1500watts under stress, but cruising on flat ground will only offer a lethargic half of that. The GNG2 with a K123 controller also peaks...

    24s Lipo + HT3525 Kraken

    That's a beautiful looking bike there Sacko, well done. Cant be many bikes around that can cruise at 20mph at only 270 watts or so, will have to go check mine now! A give away at £1250 and a great way to go to work in the morning.

    Anyone tried the new Kudos range? (Cobra/Tornado/Arriba)

    Impressive is the word for it Richie, for Bamby Frank as he is known in well worn uk ebike circles can boast a proud pedigree when it comes to fast ebikes and boosting middle-aged egos thro the chicanes of the hame coonties more torturouse cycle lanes. " Bastard son of the late but lovely...

    Could this be an option?

    Good advice d8veh. Any idea why the 6 blocks of 4s lipo at $162 are cheaper than 4 blocks of 6s at $192, both from the uk warehouse?

    The onward march of desertification can be halted

    yes indeed my vegitarian friend, but have you considered this? all the invaluable tropical forest and fauna business, seems to breed nothing but serpents and ferns! Now consider for a moment the heavenly greenhouse where a good but ruthless gardeneer wi nowt but hoe an trowel might gro man high...

    The onward march of desertification can be halted

    the video was indeed interesting to the deeper thinking individuals of the forum and our thanks should be appropriately directed to Schmitar, a good resident of not just the forum but the bogs and lands of the perpetual downpour, from which damp residence he no doubt felt safely incontravertable...

    8fun crank drive kit

    Sadly it would seem that the days are gone when Shemozzle could supply good and decent British citizens with high tech, cutting edge Chinese e-bike solutions and reluctantly we must return to the old windscreen wiper bldcm's and Archimedes Screws of yore. Shmozzle, if you would entrust me with...
