    bosch or kallkoff?

    may be the Boardman with the Oxygen kit is stronger on one lap before the BPM motor gets hot. but I am more about numbers than betting. Still, if someone organises Redbridge, I'd race Steve. Note to self: will have to find the fastest rolling tyres.

    bosch or kallkoff?

    the track at Redbridge is much longer (3.25km in total) and undulating, Park Street in Bristol is short and steep. If you test the bike for fastest lap, restricted or derestricted, the bike with the best motor efficiency * gear ratio at high power will be favoured. If you test for the best time...

    Looking for a folding ebike to do 26 miles per day.

    it's not just the bike or the rider. It's the many pot holes. I'd rather ride a full sus with BBS02 for that sort of distance.

    bosch or kallkoff?

    for hills, the woosh Krieger would probably be the last one standing.

    Crank arm hitting the rear stay

    if the pedals were right before and are still straight, you have not bent the crank arms during the fall. The solution then is to get a bottom bracket with a longer spindle. Take your BB out and measure it. Yours looks like 68mm x 110mm. Then get one longer, like 68mm x 122mm. The new BB has...

    Crank arm hitting the rear stay

    you can try but if you don't get it right, it'll make your pedal wonky.

    bosch or kallkoff?

    Shimano Octalink, Isis, GXP and Hollowtech have been developed to combat the problem of loosened cranks. KMG440 posted this video in another thread:

    bosch or kallkoff?

    one not so little detail: the Bosch motors have Isis bottom bracket, the Impulse and Yamaha CD motors have the inferior square taper BB. If you pedal a lot, the Isis system is the only way.

    50 cycles - misleading advertising

    I will call them on Monday, and post the result here. They are not answering at weekend. I must say I am slowly swayed by your logical argument but I thought this thread is about whether members think that the original wording 'no quibble guarantee' should be interpreted as inclusive of 'no...

    50 cycles - misleading advertising

    shemozzle999, which category of unfair trading or agressive tactics that you think the wording 'no quibble guarantee' apply to? I searched the CAB's database for 'no quibble' - no case found.

    I think I need to go to Specsavers because......

    would it be sensible to leave the battery and controller inside the trailer and have only the motor on the bike? I am thinking of keeping a small generator on the trailer.

    50 cycles - misleading advertising

    shemozzle999, you can google ' 50 cycles no quibble guarantee', the most recent cached version dated 03-June, not so long ago, and google '50 cycles money back guarantee'. The point is, there has not been a 'no quibble money back guarantee' in the cached version.

    About to buy BBS02 750w kit

    woosh won't sell you 48V 10AH battery for 750W BBS02. They say it can't support that much power. Their batteries can only support motors up to 500W. They'll sell you BBS02 48V 500W with batttery.

    Small snippet on electric bikes BBC Click 13/06/15

    The clip does not help the IM in the slightest. Now who is going to buy that bike?

    break discs and how they suck.

    disc brakes are hard wearing, progressive and more controllable but you need a model with large size pads to suit the power of the bike, like Shimano XT:

    50 cycles - misleading advertising

    most people would find 'two week no quibble' in the shopping channel TV ad very different to 'no quibble' where it was in the website. There may be some serious issues with the bike, that I don't know, but misleading ad? No.

    50 cycles - misleading advertising

    I don't think anyone is trying to badger the OP. If anything, the OP uses the forum to badger the supplier to obtain a full refund rather than a partial refund.

    Looking for a folding ebike to do 26 miles per day.

    the OP is asking for a near impossible bike. It has to do 26 miles a day, 8,000 miles a year at the maximum legal speed or above in rain or shine, on 20" wheels, left to the elements all year round, and is cheap enough so not worth nicking! it's mad. The guy who wants to supply such a bike is...
