This thing is simply gorgeous (though at £3.5k a bit above your upper limit)): https://www.electricbikesales.co.uk/5355/products/2020-riese-and-muller-cruiser-vario-urban-electric-bike-black.aspx Gates drive paired with Enviolo (previously known as Nuvinci) continuously variable transmission...

Some dynamo-driven brake lights detect a sudden drop in voltage from slowing down and brighten up thus having the effect of a brake light if you are running with lights on. I guess most ebike lights would get their power from the battery though in which case you would need to rig up a control...

Hope you find what you are looking for. I tried the Gocycle at the NEC last year. It breaks all the rules - front shocks with front hub motor (yet torque sensor), hub gears, you name it. Looked nothing like I'd ever ridden before and I found it insanely comfortable. Small wheels with squidgy...

Almost 40 people died from it yesterday just in my local hospital. They have people in their 20s and 30s with it in ITU. Numbers of deaths are still doubling every few days. I don't remember flu behaving like that, at least not in the past 100 years. There's a reason people have been instructed...

Bit of sobering bedtime reading for any covidiot skeptics. Latest UK data shows that 52% survival if you end up in intensive care here, and 5% of patients admitted to intensive care were younger than 40...

I tend to cruise at about 17mph along the flat. My Woosh XF07 cuts out at 16mph (at least, I assume it does, perhaps Woosh could confirm that but it stops whirring). But so seamless is the loss of power that I don't notice it. Most of my 15 mile commute (until last week at any rate) was along a...

Soundwave we have doctors and at least one nurse with no medical conditions lying in intensive care beds in this country right now. The youngest patient in this country to die from coronavirus was 18. Just because the majority of patients are older than you and have prexisting medical problems...

Do you know what "exponential growth" means? You do realise that a fortnight ago Italy had the same numbers of people dying each day from coronavirus as we are having now. Fast forward this past weekend and they had almost 800 dead in a single day. Like I said, numbers are approximately trebling...

Apologies I posted earlier that 13 doctors had died from Covid 19 in Italy. That was the total last Friday; to that I should have added the 11 who died over the weekend. That's 24 doctors dead in Italy now and a doubling over four days. What more would you need to persuade you to take this...

Soundwave - it's less the absolute numbers at the moment that should be worrying you so much as the exponential growth. Numbers of new cases and numbers of deaths are doubling about every four days and we have no immunity, no treatment and no vaccine. Over a dozen dead doctors in Italy by last...

Haven't had an issue with slipping yet with my new XF07 torque sensor kit though that's only been on tarmac. I got the impression that's more relevant on gravel tracks though I doubt you would get far trying to go mountain biking on mud tracks on a cargo bike! I would add that Woosh have been...

I just installed a Woosh front hub motor with torque sensor. Sensor Is in chainset so no bottom bracket to foul on. Would that fit your bike?

Indeed. On motoring fora I have seen plenty of people with cruise control say they never use it and don't see the point, or that they only use it on the motorway to keep at the speed of the car in front (radar cruise control) or stay at a constant speed. Yet one of its most useful features is...

Local bike shop recommended a bike with suspension (to be fair it was the only bike they had in the size needed) for my seven year old. Bless him it was as heavy as one of our adult bikes, nearly 14kg! After a short while of realising he was never going to get very far we got a much lighter...

That's a very interesting link to a Dutch firm I hadn't heard of Mike. Their Eslim full size crossbar frame also has a shaft drive, 490 battery and wait for it, a Brooks leather saddle for 2900 Euros! Supposed disadvantages of a shaft drive include greater resistance (but as with belt drives...

Rear hub gear and front hub motor (so less chain wear than a pushbike - a crank motor would mean more chain wear than pushbike with hub gear and even more besides with deraillure) should be a pretty bombproof commuter design. I will find out as that is what my Woosh conversion is. I can't cycle...

Why would they offer to replace your motor with a new equally fault-probe motor? Are the ones they are swapping out any more robust or does omit just get them off the hook if or when the replacement fails? Must admit a large part of me wanting a kit to retrofit my existing bike rather than...

Nice looking bike - I'm in the process of fitting a Woosh kit to my touring bike right now. I only recently came across the concept of gravel bikes fairly recently but they strike me as what hybrids tried to be when they first came out - something that was all things to all people - good for...

Thread update - I got the Woosh XF07 torque sensor kit and am in the process of fitting it. Meanwhile I've been wondering how best to keep the battery in good shape. Principle use for the bike will be a 30 mile round commute perhaps 2 days a week when I have to go into the office. I expect...

Interesting thread. I have just bought a Woosh XF07 front kit which I'm pairing with Nexus hub gears for my 30 mile round commute. Toyed with the idea of a crank motor but the need for total reliability got in the way. What don't you like about hub gears plus crank motor on a commuter bike may I...
