Assuming you are not off roading, front suspension is waste of time anyway. If you want comfort, fit some balloon tyres, like Schwalbe Fat Frank or Big Apple and run them on the soft side. If you are used to knoblies you'll be amazed at the difference.

Forgot to mention the advantages of the rucksack battery. 1. Very stealthy. 2. Feels much more nimble underneath you. 3. Can be moved easily from bike to bike. This is the bike In use it with:

No torque arms, but I have steel forks (No sus, balloon tire). That said, I also ran the same motor in SR Suntour forks for about 1300 miles, likewise no torque arms, just those anti-rotation washers. I Probably wouldn't do it again though. Battery in both cases on the back rack, 20ah.

Just wanted to be sure that Denwyn knows what he's letting himself in for. Of the bikes I have built, I retain 4. One Front SWX, one Rear SWX, one Front Q100, and one rear Bafang CST. My favorite bike to ride is the Front Q100, because I like the balanced feel, and the 4 speed Hub...

I have one bike that I use with a rucksack battery. I just run a cable from the top of the bag, over my shoulder and down under my shirt/jacket. I then plug it in to an Anderson powerpole near to my gentleman area. If you pull the cable, it simply detaches. I accept that there is a risk if you...

I'm not saying it's hard, just more to think about. Cassette/freewheel and toolong, Dishing, breaking spokes and weight distribution all need to be considered. Having done four of five of each I can say that the fronts were more straight forward.

You might have cut off your nose to spite you face there. My latest order from BMS has taken 6 weeks from ordering until shipping! (not arriving, that's still a few days off) Perhaps you will be lucky, but if not you're unlikely to be on the road until the end of the summer.

A rear wheel conversion will be a little harder/more complex, but you should be ok.

You could save yourself some agro and buy a sensorless controller, and run it like that.

That's better.

sorry D8veh, link not working for me....

There is a lot more pleasure in riding with a child up front though. I built my own front facing seat which was in use until my son was 5 or so (dunno about weight, but he's pretty normal for age) You can buy little jump seats on eBay...

Sounds like a loose connection, or a dodgy key switch. If you don't have the tools/skills yourself, then I'll bet one of those scooter guys will be able to fix it. What bike do you have?

Wow, that' really is a POS!

Hi Geebee. Might be me, but I can't see a link?

Thanks old Tom, you have just enabled me to win an argument with my Father. My Dad is not very net savvy but he looked at a forum once. He predicted that all conversations would degenerate into abuse within 10 'pages'. He went on to say that you will know when this has happened, because a...

Yes, that what I was talking about, but It wont work on most (if not all) of the Woosh bikes. They all seem to have that shield. A front mounted seat might be ok on the Big Bear, but it has a funny shaped tube toward the front. I had none of these issues, as mine was a standard bike that I...

If you look closely, between the rear mudguard and the seat tube, there is a shield that covers the wiring. Near the top you can see a cable disappear into it.

Sorry to hear about you accident. Post a picture of the damaged bits, that way people will be better able to help.

The OP has stated (admittedly in another post) that his budget is £2k, for two bikes. Lovely as these machines are, I fear they will blow that budget. But it might be a good idea to have a big family bus, and a cheap run about.....
