    Cheap e-bike? £600?

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    would the UK follow the EU Court's decision though?

    Hybrid with internal gear hub: mid-drive or front hub kit?

    I'd recommend a 250W TSDZ2 or BBS01 crank drive kit. The weight distribution is better, the torque range is also better suitable for hills. Avoid high power BBSes, they are the ones that can damage your hub gears.

    Probably not. His strong subject is dog latin.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BJ may bid 15bn. Never before, a tory government spent that much on benefits. The tories must be pretty desperate to hold on to him.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Apparently, there has been a rule changed. Ministers who lied to parliament no longer has to resign. Gov said. I saw that on the news yesterday.

    Help! Folding E-Bike (London Narrowboat commuting)

    for 15 miles commute (8 miles each way), may I suggest the Woosh Faro? It can be quite compact with folding pedals. If you turn the handlebars 90 degrees for storage, saves space too. It is lightweight (17kgs all in), easy to lift and carry, does not look electric and ride like a normal bike if...

    Yet another,"which kit?" topic

    we can't supply kits without battery at present except to customers who have already one of our kits and need to use the same battery on another bike.

    Help! Folding E-Bike (London Narrowboat commuting)

    I am surprised you found the Brompton as having too many niggling faults. To me, it's the best folding bike on the market and that is supported by their phenomenal success. It's sturdy, folds very well and quickly, easy to carry and easily electrified with my kit if you need it.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I agree with you there. The main issue I have with this government is inflation as a remedy hits the lower income classes disproportionately. Those who have money also have a lot of assets which don't go down in price and some even go up.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they may not be fit to but still fitter than the rest, Russia, China, France and UK. The role should perhaps be given to the EU which has a more consentual program and ideas.

    Help! ebike won't reach full speed!

    That's why I fitted the woosh rambletta with 8 speed cassette, smallest cog has 11 teeth instead of 13.

    Help! ebike won't reach full speed!

    6-speed shimano freewheel on the back wheel, the smallest cog on it has 13 teeth. You have typically 40T at the chainring on folding bikes, 20" x 2" tyre circumference is 1.565m, you'll need to spin the cranks at 25000 * 13 / (1.565 * 60 * 40) = 86.5 RPM to get to maximum legal speed (15.5mph...

    Help! ebike won't reach full speed!

    The controller in the image is a Lishui controller. The white connector is indeed the programming port but you can't reprogram it yourself and there is no point doing that as the controller does not limit your speed but other things such as motor constants. If you can't reach 15mph, the usual...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the problem is made much worse whenever Americans voted in a republican potus. Clinton and Obama were OK.
