I'm surprised that cwah has got away with this for so long. People bite every time he posts his spoof threads. He has absolutely no intention of buying or fitting this umbrella to his bike. He is simply trying to provoke a reaction. Remember his trailer exploits? He was pretending to...

If its any good and available as an add-on to fit to a bike of your choosing, it certainly would be very appealing.

Am I reading this correctly? The AEG centre (crank?) drive does not need to have a unique modified frame such as the present Bosch and Panasonic units require? If so, presumably the AEG system can be fitted to any bike.

I had an RS2000 Mk2 and was always under the impression that it was made in Germany.

Got it! Is it EZee?

My Kalkhoff has got a swastika on it which means that it must have come from The Fatherland, so its not that one and I couldn't work out how to operate my Biro, so I couldn't fill in the Mensa question paper. You are just going to have to tell me.

Who is this please? I'd like to know because I make a point of avoiding businesses and individuals who have such contempt for their customers that they operate in this way.

How does it handle in a 20 Knott cross wind?

It was always going to end this way.

Theoretically, higher voltages offer greater efficiency as the current flowing through the wires will be less for any given power. (Power = Volts x Amps. So higher Volts = less Amps for a given power) Also, losses in cables and motor windings = Amps x Amps x Resistance, so it is advantageous to...

I don't know why the 36v unit should be any better, just because it is 36v. Unless the power delivery characteristics has been changed through a software modification, then it should be more or less the same. The same end result, if there is any difference, could have been achieved by Panasonic...

Thanks Indalo, it's always interesting to read comparisons between different bikes and bike dealers. I'm a little bit guilty of believing that an ebike can't get much better than my Pro Connect with its Panasonic crank drive, but a recent ride on a bike with an EZee kit fitted to it demonstrated...

Looking at his selling history, he doesn't appear to be trading in the usual stolen fodder. That is unless he has several accounts and spreads his swag out over multiple identities. The only things that he has sold in the past that are commonly stolen items, attractive to potential buyers and...

I'm sure that everything you say is correct, but ebay are highly unlikely to take any action without proof that the bike is stolen. Suspicion and common sense don"t come into it.

Congrats on the new bike eddieo. It looks like quite a sturdy, comfortable and hopefully, lightweight bike. I'm very tempted by some of these Bosch powered bikes, particularly the Haibike. Can't really justify the outlay though, but I am tempted....

I'm inclined to agree regarding leaving well alone. I'd not considered temperature, but I suppose if the pre-packed grease is starting to break-down or harden a rise in ambient temperature might just ease things enough to make the fault go away. It is certainly warmer here today than it was...

Well, an opportunity to have a look into the slipping gear problem has presented itself this afternoon. However, I have just taken the bike out for a quick run and there was no sign of the problem whatsoever. Not convinced, I carried on with the ride and replicated the 20 mile round trip to work...

I am a bit short of time at the moment, so have decided to fit the spare rear wheel with the new gear unit. I've just ordered a new Cassette Joint Unit and sprocket so that I can build it up and swap it over as a complete unit. When time permits, hopefully within the next couple of weeks, I'll...

Thank you. I had a quick look at my spare and can see the LH nut, the RH side looks a bit more complicated. I am hoping that all the RH side will all come away as an assembly. I'm not going to experiment on the new one, I'd better save that for the suspect unit.

My hub is the SG-S501. I have followed the links to the data sheet thanks. I can't see how the internals are held inside the hub, there doesn't appear to be any clips, only dust caps. I'll have to strip the wheel down again, removing the sprocket and see if the method of stripping becomes evident.
