Hand/Glove indicators Hiya I got around this problem by taking two very cheap Oxford bike light from decathlon, taking it to bits (ie removing all the plastic leaving just the LEDs and wiring). I then stitched these into the back of my cheap all weather gloves. I also wired in a small click...

Bullet Proof bike Morning It is possible to buy a near bullet proof commuter bike (probrably not possible to buy a bullet proof mountain bike if you are into the really crazy stuff) Having gone thorugh many bikes over the years I've now got a On-one Pompetamine. Its solid cro-mo steel and...

I just found a lenghty and full response from Hatti at woosh in a trash folder. As I'd previously reported no response I thought it fair to update the thread and advise - my fault not woosh's. Hatti confirms they have no connection to the Whoosh of Brighton/Hove looks like I'll have to...

Well, I went to investigate the address for Whooshbikes in Brighton/Hove. No sign of a bike shop of any kind whatseover.Also no sign ony business there other than an estate agent. Additionally, I've had no response from them via email or via telephone. So no idea whats going on there........

I might have a solution to two main problems with GPS trackers. The key problems as I see it are 1) Tracker requries charging daily (assuming a 12 hour or battery lifetime) 2) Trackers integrated into a battery solve the battery issue BUT create a new issue i.e. the battery is often not...

Hmm there is certainly some level of confusion here as westcountry's great review also mentions Brighton and Whoosh rather than Southend and Woosh (no "H") Certainly Woosh based in Southend sell the Sirocco pictured. I have emailed Whoosh bikes in Brighton (well, Hove actually :) and tried...

Hi All, Thanks for your input on this.......and the digression into early 70's music nostalgia :) ! Couple of additions to this story. One good, one bad and one uncertain The bad news is that the Daahub does not appear to be available in 700c flavour :( The good news is that Mark at...

I have dropped an email to Cytronex so shall see what they say. You never know - maybe they need someone to demo the system or be seen on the streets of Brighton and fit one for free ! (yes, I know I'm dreaming :)

I mssed a bit - budget Well now, there is a question. I can get what I want, and I mean exactly what I want, then I'm prepared to pay for it. At present I'm thinking wait for Cytonex kits and hope they work with discs (or just change the front brake Otherwise I may as well get a cheapy...

Firstly - thanks to all for your help thus far ok so it looks like I'm going to have a problem with the Cytronex kit on my Pomp (even when are available) as they don't handle discs. Hmm Daahub - doesnt exist as yet. Anyone know about disc compatability ? @ Kudos - Thanks, mine is...

crikey - I really should sense check before posting. I mean "convert an On One Pompetamine"

Hi All, I have, despite much input from this and other forums, still not actually bit the bullet and purchased either bike or kit! The problem was that I got hugely sidetracked by those with big, fast, powerful systems. I saw all these 36v, 48v and umpteen watt systems that can haul a lorry...

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone had heard anything of Shimanos STEPS system. It sounded pretty cool back in June 2010, shimano make some top gear and are one of the bigeest component makers after all. But I've not heard so much as a whisper since then..... anyone in the know ? thanks

Hi all Finally decided not go with a home biuld for my first foray in ebike ownership. I've pretty much decided on Aliens GS Matrix (especially since they dropped the price to £625) I was just wondering if anyone had one of these and could provide any input before I hit the Order button ...

@Frank - thanks for explaining that for me. I would love to come and look at your bikes but I'm afraid my budget just does not stretch that far :( It might one day if I had a longer commute but at present it is only 10 miles each way I really just want an alterntive to my normal road bike on...

Thanks all - It did seem just a bit too easy ! I think the main point I've taken away is that, even if I can tip toe my way through the various pitfalls without blowing any of the parts or myself up, I'm unlikey to really get enough extra oomph to make the whole thing worthwhile @ NRG, I...

Hi all, First post here - I've spent a lot of time on here gleaning valuable info though. Still very much a newbie so hoping for your advice I've been considering various options for my own build and then I came across Xipi bikes. They have a "turbo button" which increases speed (beyond...
