the top one (case 09) has on/off switch and is easier to fit, the bottom one (case 08/HL) does not, you may need to drill a hole in the base to fit.

cookie, the new woosh Santana 2 is hard to beat. Lighter and cheaper than the Big Bear LS, the front wheel has quick release, Avid disc brakes, compact BPM rear motor, suitable for occasional off-roading. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?santana2

wise words from Emo Rider, totally agreed. The Big Bear is a good all-rounder, It's been bought and reviewed by quite a few members but I wouldn't describe it as a fun bike. If you want a bike for the occasional off-roading, check out the much lighter woosh Bali. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bali

I think some customers take reliability to mean the same thing as length of service intervals. A typical example is the wear of brake pads because brake pads are likely the first thing that needs replacing on a bike. Rim (V) brakes are cheap to fit, easy to set and have very good stopping power...

the one millimeter air gap may be OK though. I usually keep my wheels trued to about that any way.

I'd love to see manufacturers quote this magic figure for their bikes, preferably with as little pedaling as possible. (this is where you can sort the men from the boys).

With a promised power of 500W, therefore on the smaller side compared to the usual DD motors, this motor gives enormous benefits: can have hub gears, lighter, the wheel diameter gives it a better torque (depending on the number of poles) than other DD motors of similar power, it can easily be...

There is no point relying on the brands for what is necessary and regular maintenance. At the very least, you should keep your bike clean and give it a bit of grease where there is a threaded component or a ball bearing or where grit may get in, like chain, cogs, pedals and bottom bracket etc...

when your battery is being recharged, its output voltage is only slightly below the charging voltage. Measure the voltage at the output, it's just as good.

it'll be half that price in a couple of years. Seriously, this one points to the future of e-bikes.

'buy cheap buy twice' is generally true especially when it comes to women's shoes, but if you look at the number of advertisements for little used bikes on this forum, they are mostly for expensive bikes. That seems to me that expensive bikes are statistically expensive to own. As for parts...

Tom, the OP's choice is between bus and EAPC. He said he is fit but did not say that he has to do 110 miles on the same day. He could however, choose one leg by bus and the other by bike.

somebody ought to make a shorter trunk cable for the BBS01. In the mean time, you have to solder and insulate each of the 10 or 11 wires in the cable. The wires have different colours, the problem is insulation. You need to protect all of the wires against rain. The alternative is to use a bag...

I think you can fit a left pedelec sensor but have not tried it. external controller when integrated into the battery casing is definitely a better choice. this is the GSM motor with the well proven Lishui external controller and King Meter LCD.

no, you can just buy a spare set of brake levers from woosh (for about £3) and cannibalize the brake lever to recover the tail.

I should think so. Those plugs are widely used on e-bikes. Yellow plug: 3 pins, red plug: 2-pins.

the Giant Road E Plus is the most likely bike that will do the job for you long term but at £2750, it's a bit of a risk to lose a large chunk of cash if you later find out that 50 miles on the saddle is too much for your back. In fact, the power consumption of most e-bikes depend not on the...

the switch in the lever is temporary push to break (normally closed type). When the lever is at rest, the switch is pushed by the lever, the circuit is open between the two pins in the red connector (signal and ground). When you pull the lever, the circuit is closed, connecting the signal pin to...

left and right kill switches?

I think the intention is to put in place proper testing facilities before enforcing the rules. Vendors are still under obligation to either remove the throttle or pay for type approval.
