I got about 3,000 miles out of my last bike, 30p a mile, still value for money.

my previous bike is a Specialized mtb fitted with Tektro Auriga HDB, Rockshox, Schwalbe tyres and tubes, Bafang BBS01. Total spending in excess of £1,000. My current bike is Giant Defy fitted with the Karoo kit, total spending £800. The price of batteries have come down a bit so it's doable...

on the 'German or Chinese?', does anyone notice the difference regarding where owners keep their bikes? cwah seems to keep his lashed to a lamp post.

I think nobody gets it wrong by going German on the count of quality but many a time I wonder if we are not looking at the issue from the wrong end of the telescope. We can all agree that low maintenance is essential. Take the issue of motor for example. No Chinese motor that I know of is as...

thank you. The zoom disc brakes on the woosh bikes up to about 3 years ago were a real calamity.

that's a bit harsh. 3 years ago, woosh moved from Zoom disc brakes to tektro Novela disc brakes and since last year, from Tektro Novela to Avid disc brakes on all their bikes. You don't find other bikes under £1,000 with Tektro Novela brakes or the more expensive Avid brakes. At the same time...

I agree with KD, £800 does not leave the importers/manufacturers with sufficient profit to stay in business. if you are on a £800 budget, you should either reduce your expectations or convert an old bike.

I don't understand why he doesn't want woosh to fix his bike for him.

The BBS02 36V 25A 500W should be paired with a 36V battery fitted with high discharge rate BMS to support the full 25A continuously. It expects to see 42V when the battery is fully charged and 31V when the battery is totally flat. Most cheap battery packs can only do 15A-20A. If your battery...

you have to fit torque arms with front BPM 350W or Ezee motor. These geared hub motors have immense torque that can wreck your fork on starting up when fitted without torque arms. This is one fitted with woosh BPM front kit:

use eco setting, avoid braking and keep to a steady speed around 12-14mph.

yes, I agree. They seem to want to prioritize range with the feedback from customers. I've only tried the GSM with the 20A kits (36V and 48V) from bmsbattery.com and with internal controller. This bike is the first one fitted with Lishui controller. It was windy yesterday, I've got up to about...

I'd say no. Although the label says 18A, the King Meter + Lishui combo feels less powerful. It was fairly windy, difficult to judge though.

a little off topic, but here is a new Woosh bike based on the GSM. This one uses a Lishui controller integrated into the battery case and a GSM without internal controller. The LCD is King Meter. Most noticeable is the very neat wiring, all hidden inside the downtube.

I assume that her ST1 is the s-pedelec variant, otherwise she would not need to register. https://www.stromerbike.com/en/int/technology/st1-technology you still can't register s-pedelecs in the UK at the moment.

I don't think you can register a bike that is outside the EN1594 specifications in the UK at the moment.

you should tell us a little more about what is important to you, your height, your weight and whether you need a throttle because of a medical condition. All e-bikes are compromises, on folding mechanism, battery, gears and motor. For example, if you need to take your folder onto trains and...

I think the freewheel is a bit stuck, you just need a bit of brute force and persuasion, Use a tube to extend the spanner's handle.

a crank drive 8-Fun BBS01/BBS02 is the simplest solution.

annad will build the bikes with the components you want, if you don't mind waiting 4-5 months for delivery.
