    B-H Emotion Sport electric bike. In Newquay Cornwall.

    the battery can be recelled if necessary, but I reckon a fair price is about £600.

    BMSBattery/PayPal buyer protection warning for "extra shipping cost"

    the controller comes with the battery from bmsbattery. The kit is 48V. You only risk killing the motor, which I didn't. The GSM kit is very similar to the BBS01/02 but comes in two flavours, with built in 18A controller, 800S LCD, brake levers, thumb throttle (£275) or just the motor (£175). I...

    Interesting cheap Chinese bike on e-bay

    I never understood why bikes like this one are not more popular. They are cheap to buy and cheap to run. These motors run and run, they never die. The torque can be on the low side but once they pick up some speed, they can easily maintain 15mph. The only thing wrong with them besides their...

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Bike-Ebike-20-Wheels-36v-Rear-Motor-With-Throttle-Black-/321824554610 Lovely bike. Same motor as the old Woosh Angel. Could have come out of the same factory. You can easily get the battery recelled with Li-ion.

    BMSBattery/PayPal buyer protection warning for "extra shipping cost"

    I tested bmsbattery's 48V kit https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-battery/726-48v8ah-bottle-09-e-bike-battery-torque-sensor-battery.html with Woosh GSM CD kit (£175 motor only) a few weeks back. It runs like a rocket, ways better than the BBS01 250W. Basically, you get a cheap BBS02 18A system. The...

    BMSBattery/PayPal buyer protection warning for "extra shipping cost"

    I found bmsbattery.com easy going. They may have miscalculated the new price to charge you and try to recover the money by other means. How much did you pay for your battery? They charge me about $70-$80 to DHL a battery. The most annoying thing about buying from them is to wait for about 2...

    E-Ram

    it will drive me nuts if I can't move the bike backwards. if the key advantage of their wobbly gearbox is saving 1kg then it'll be a lot cheaper getting the same weight reduction by replacing the 2.7kgs average suspension fork with a good quality air fork.

    E-Ram

    I think they added a sprag clutch for this but the wobbly gearbox wobbles the bike.

    Front or rear hub ?

    as far back as I can remember, no one has reported broken spokes with crank drive builds, only with rear hub conversions.

    Front or rear hub ?

    front: very low risk of broken spokes but low traction. rear: good traction but high risk of broken spokes. You also have to learn to dish and true your motor wheel. Crank drive kits are best and easiest to fit.

    Creaking crank on new Agattu

    it's usually the left crank that can get loosened with pedalling. If that is the case, just tighten the crank bolt until the creaking noise stops.

    Woosh Santana

    not much you can do. Error 30 can be caused by a malfunctioning LCD or damaged waterproof cable. You need to contact Andy @ woosh.

    E-Ram

    Difference for difference's sake. too expensive for what it is. I can't see the advantage of their two stage wobble gearbox against a well proven two stage reduction on the BBS01's gearbox. They did put forward a good argument in support of their design goal though.

    Pashley Parabike Conversion

    woosh charger is rated 42V 1.9A by SANS electronics - allowing for first time balancing, the recommendation of leaving it on for 10 hours on first charge does not seem exagerated.
