Everything is a compromise in engineering as in anything else. Hub motors have different compromises.

I’ve got Kalkhoff Impulse with a Nexus 8 and have no trouble changing down on hills. I just momentary stop pedalling, change down, and a fraction of a second soft pedalling to feed the power in again and that’s that. It all becomes one continuous action after a bit. Mine is the Impulse 1 but...

Lots of drunk drivers do too. You see them driving at just below thirty after midnight on quiet suburban roads and seemingly being very careful. Dead giveaway to dibble.

Don't know what part of Wales you're in but there are a lot where I live. They just dollop some tarmac in them which washes out with the next heavy rain. They don't even melt it in to get it to stick. There are some small roads around here that are like washboards.

Clarkson isn’t actually employed by the Beeb though. He pitched the show fifteen years ago and they used the old then defunct Top Gear title. He then cashed out a few years ago when the BBC bought out his rights. He is said to have made over thirty million quid from his involvement over the...

That explains it. But I agree with oriteroom about the checks. If they changed the sprocket they should have adjusted the chain length too.

According to most reports it was fat boy who spat his dummy out of the pram. He allegedly punched a 36 year old producer because there was no food laid on after shooting finished for the day. His hamster like mini me sidekick tacitly confirmed that today. My bet is the bloke he hit is a lot...

Quick decision, quick delivery, and you like it. Result.

How about Graham Norton? Apparently he’s quite popular with rugger bugger types..... He’s got the name for it anyway.

Like the ‘tropical island.’ It looks like Studland Bay with a couple of potted palm trees behind the dunes. Great stuff.

If you’re nearby you can go and test ride them. I’m sure they will do what it says on the tin. You know what to look for in good bike, and e bikes are no different. They just have motors. Different kinds of motor though. Some crank drive, some hub drive. Some torque sensor that ride like normal...

The trouble is that as you are a keen cyclist with a nice bike you will want a nice e bike like your KTM. But you will be getting a cheap £150 bike plus a motor and battery for £700. To get good cycle parts too costs more than that.

You can get an e bike for that but you probably won’t think it was nice if you’re used to a nice bike. How about putting a Woosh crank drive kit on your existing nice bike?

Don’t see why it would stretch that much in such a short time. It must have been too long to begin with if the wheel is as far back as it will go.

Except when he does Have I Got News For You. That show is getting old and tired now but is usually still watchable apart from when he shows up. If I see The Great Penis Extension is in the chair I turn it over straight away. I cannot stand the fat fascist **.

Not sure about that. Your warranty is with the shop you bought it from and isn’t Cyclezee an importer rather than just a shop? When I bought a Woosh as my first e bike I had to send the whole bike back after a couple of weeks. Woosh paid but if it had been after the first month I would have had to.

A broken bike can be a hassle to take on a train though, and like all things e bikes can need repair sometimes. That’s why I thought you might be better of with someone close by.

Actually it wasn’t clear that you were trying to buy parts from him and wanted advice on which to get. That’s not the same as asking for help with an issue when you didn’t buy the bike from him.

He just wants to use it for a three and a half mile trip to the station and back In Milton Keynes with one not very steep hill. Almost any bike will do what he wants easily. So there’s a lot to be said for buying locally I would have thought.

Cyclezee is on your doorstep and has bikes which seem to cover your needs and which are recommended here. Not a bad idea to buy from someone nearby if they have a good rep for product and service. Could save a lot of hassle down the line.
