maybe you need a very strong magnet.

SW, have you tried this trick on your bike?

about 20 e-bikes a year per shop. Less than 7% of the shop's turnover.

the market for e-bikes in the UK is between 25,000 and 35,000 a year, roughly divided into half Chinese, half European. Most e-bikes are sold by large mail order companies and Halfords. I estimate that about 5,000 German e-bikes and 5,000 Chinese e-bikes go through about 500 small local bike...

but with less fear of the 'black grease factor' to suit the younger generation.

I don't like the design of the motor craddle much but the 3 M6 go into steel inserts. fastforward to time index 6:12

enjoy!

This is my current bike: and this is the bike I am working on: Hope they are not boring bikes!

Give me a Porsche Carrera and I'll leave my e-bike at home! I am sure you will enjoy riding your new bike!

Sorry RobF too disagree with you. Using this bike to pull a large and heavy trailer is like using a Porsche Carrera for London taxis.

the trouble with those good looking bikes is this: imagine your legs with 4 times your current pedaling power. How fast would you be on your current bike? probably much faster than the legal 15mph. Are you prepared to reduce your own leg strength or get a dongle?

I suppose you've got to live a little and who likes boring bikes?

I think his heart is already set on this beauty:

you can tow almost anything on flat roads, even with a light assist bike like the Gtech. I am a long time fan of crank drives, you can check my posts over the last 4-5 years, but I tell you why most people use a hub motor to haul trailers. The drive components (chain wheel, chain, rear sprocket)...

Bosch warned (source: Bosch Performance bike manual): Get real, how many of you use your Bosch bike to tow a heavy trailer? A quick search on google reveals that they are strangely absent: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=electric+bike+towing+a+trailer&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X and as...

you've got a 13 year old on tow in a fairly hilly part of the country, it's horses for courses. Even if money is no object, it's down to being practical. It's planning for the worst case scenario. E-bikes extend your space. What happens when you are tired and a long way from home? SW has already...

as a percentage, they don't waste anywhere near as much as our bunch of careerist politicians. Half of the money goes to redistribution, a sort of common fiscal policy, the EU hand over the other half, £4.5 billions a year to our government to manage. If the money is squandered, our own bunch of...

@-Bucks- where do you live? you should try an Ezee bike or a BPM bike with full throttle before you buy. Unless your name is Wiggins, it's not easy to tow a heavy trailer up a steep hill when you don't have a throttle. The throttle allows you to choose power at whatever speed. You can't do that...

I have family in Germany and know how kind hearted German people can be.

@tillson. would I live in tents for years with no right to grow my own food or build my house or seek gainful employment? No, I wouldn't. If there is no hope for a better future, I'll take my family to the sea, better die together than spend another winter in a wet tent. I hope many people...
