    Storm electric bike.

    Besides the N360 Nuvinci, nothing stands out. All the other components are good but also typical of a 20" folding bike like the Woosh Gale (battery, motor, brakes, suspension fork) or the Volt Metro. http://www.voltbikes.co.uk/metro-folding-electric-bike.php http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gale You can...

    Electric bike wanted

    This one (£245) may fit your budget. Not good on hills but perfectly adequate for pootling around town: https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/hopper-city-electric-bike-brand-new-in-box-/1136524376

    Gsm vs bbs01

    Southend is very flat. Pier Hill is its steepest bit. You can go to http://wooshbikes.co.uk/clearway.php and enter the post code SS1 2EQ then ride around by clicking a few times on the map. Pier Hill not big but near the top, it's 18% gradient. It's comparable to Bristol Park Street but shorter.

    I rode the test bike with bmsbattery's 48V kit for about an hour. The bike ran faster and the motor got warmer but I did not notice anything wrong with the bike. Range wise: Woosh supply the kit with 36V 15AH battery and quoted 50-60 mile range (same as the woosh Krieger). With that battery from...

    Hello!

    like this Giant Liv3? http://www.rutlandcycling.com/285050/products/2015-giant-liv-rove-3-white-silver-womens-hybrid-bike.aspx I would suggest you convert your bike to a crank drive. Member Nealh is not far from you, may be he'll let you try his bikes.

    the light on the charger goes green when the voltage rises to 42V. You can read on the label of the charger something like 'output 42V 2A'. Your battery is made of 10 blocks, each will charge to 4.2V when full. The problem is, the battery management system (BMS) runs off one of the 10 blocks...

    your bike turned off to protect itself. The fault can come from a number of sources. From your report, after recharging to full, the bike works long enough for you to ride a few miles before turning itself off, pointing to either battery or controller. I think it's more likely your battery...

    you've done the right thing. If the history of the bike is correct, then you still have 9 months left on the original 24 months. Wisper brand is now handled by Amps. They may still have the guarantee registration details and should honor the guarantee even if you don't get any joy out of the...

    the OP's problem is guarantee. A replacement 16AH Wisper battery costs £544 http://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/Item/Electric_Bike_Batteries/Wisper_Battery/Wisper_Battery_36V_Li-Ion__-_16Ah.aspx Can he afford a new battery? The model is also withdrawn, affecting resale value in a year or two.

    John, He's bought a 2013 Wisper 905 classic. It seems to me that he's got problem with the battery. Expensive buy. Best thing he can do is asking the vendor to take it back.

    Hello!

    With e-bikes, you can select the gear you feel most comfortable with, likely 5th or 6th out of the 7-speed gearing and keep pedalling in that gear, putting in as much (or as little) effort as you want and keep your cadence steady. You can go like that all day long. The motor makes up the rest...

    the GSM kit is made by the factory that assembles most of the woosh bikes. GSM belongs to one of the top 500 industrial combines in China. They also make generators, motorbikes and ATVs. The pricing is down to woosh.

    Hello!

    Not a very good idea, Angela. Front motor needs to be secured to the front fork. You will need a spanner to undo the front wheel nuts if you want to remove it. Repeatedly connect and disconnect the motor cable does not do the motor cable much good. Don't worry about weight distribution if you...

    Ebike in Torrentail Rain

    All the crank drives are well protected against water ingress. The only entry point is the bottom bracket, water has to go through two rubber shields at either side of the ball bearing and collects at the bottom of the gear box. No chance of water getting into the electrics unless you submerge...

    another which one...sorry.

    BPM (big powerful motor) is a class of hub motors, 180mm diameter, weighty, very strong hill climber, made by Bafang originally but many other companies now make them. Bike with BPM motors: Kudos Tornado, Sonata, Rapid. Woosh Big Bear, LS. The Ezee bikes have also a similar if not better motor...
