woosh are going to have BBS01 18A in a few weeks. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?cdkit The BBS have very little PAS overrun. I think it'll go well with their new 15AH bottle battery.

two things put me off hub motors: I feel the motor vibrations in my wrists (front hub) or back (rear hub) when the motor is running and unpleasant gyroscopic effect when pedalling without power or cornering. My BBS01 feels balanced and surefooted even on hard MP+ tyres. After you try a few...

it spells danger for manufacturers, little to gain, much to lose I reckon.

the 8-Fun BPM motor was introduced in 2011 or 2012, so it's not new. What's new is the way manufacturers interpret EN15194 and use the poorly defined 'nominal power rating' to push for higher assistance. BH started the race for legal kits with ever higher power. personally, people buy whatever...

did I say KTM P running at 22A? no, it's running at 46.8V - maximum Amps: 2C = 2 x 8.8A from here (page 34): www.freebike.pt/v1.5/images/Cat/Cat2014_KTM.pdf 1boris reported on the BPM powered BH Neos this morning. You can always confirm the max Amps of your bikes, I reckon 20A?

what makes the hub bikes strong hill climbers is the controller. The more current going through the controller, the more power the motor gives out, as simple as that. It simply is not an easy comparision when you consider that the Bosch and TCM crank motors are given 14A-15A while the Panasonic...

in a previous post, you said you're 5ft3 - the mountain bikes may be a bit uncomfortable riding for long periods. Have you looked at the step throughs?

this wheel is so much better conceived than the flykly and the Copenhagen. Re demo video, I would not feel safe with a10kg front wheel and cantilever brake.

if the charger has only one LED, it will go from red (charging) to green when your battery is fully charged. With two LED, one LED will stay red (power) the other will go drom red (charging) to green.

I think denwyn would like a bike that is as well made as his Marin DS2. It's not difficult: the shocks need to have hydraulic lockout, the brakes need to be simple, light and long wear, crankset needs to be smart looking, frame needs to be stylish, tyres need to be puncture resistant, grips need...

it's the crossbar Bear that is on short supply. The LS Bear is not a big bike but still in that Dutch style, much more relaxed riding position. You can ask for a low profile saddle post - with which at lowest setting, the top of the saddle is only 80cm above ground. Hatti can ride it and she's...

If you want VFM, the internet gives you the edge. it's more a question of the suppliers attitude in the situation that you find the bike you bought without trying first not suitable. If the suppliers are prepared to take it back then what do you have to lose?

if you have troubles with your knees, the Big Bear LS is a good choice for your budget. BPM motor, 15AH battery, Dutch style frame. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear-ls

I wouldn't spend £1600 on these 2 if they are 3 months old without guarantee.

Based on the information given, the two Freegos you've been looking at are probably the best choice for you out of all you've seen. Comfortable riding position, big battery capacity, your preferred battery location behind the seat post, excellent value for money as a near new pair. I don't think...

yes. The bike is more responsive too.

denwyn, which bikes have you tried and liked so far? If you can tell us what you like in each model that you have tried, we'll be better positioned to find a bike that has most of the attributes you like (and none of the ones you disliked, including the Kudos you bought last year) and comment...

the Big Bear LS would be ideal for your height (5ft9) and don't worry about your weight, it'll soon come off with e-biking. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear-ls

I am sure the manufacturers know what they are doing and duly take legal advice. The fact remains that they (the vendors) market their bikes as having more torque (read power) than xyz, so power becomes the main yardstick, a 'weedy' SWX motor that can't climb 7% hill without pedalling is at a...

perhaps we should debate the 'arm race' among manufacturers escalating motor power. The P hub for example sells on its power. The BPM sells on its power. I can sympathize with people buying the P hub or the BPM motor on the basis of need (when they are overweighed and having to cope with big...
