ditto. Ask d8veh how he did it.

does it have something like this unidirectional sprag bearing?

I share many of flecc's views. Other members may want to correct me here but I would add that the 8-Fun motor in your bike has two disadvantages compared to CD motors: 1. your 8-Fun motor has planetary gears whose friction increases rapidly at speed, and 2. the 8-Fun motor's maximum RPM is...

I wonder what it would be like to fit this CD kit to the Brompton. Jerry, I reckon Hatti will let you try it out.

Are we talking about alternative source of energy to wind turbines?

Hubs motors are far from becoming obsolete but d8veh spotted something special about the woosh cd though. It looks stealthier than any other crank drive and it is a lot cheaper than the Sunstar SO3+. I'd like to know how fast the kit can go on 11T or 12T cassette.

I am afraid this time it's not the same hysterical as Northern Rock. The banking crisisis in Cyprus is the logical destination of the fractional reserve banking system, practiced all over the world. jazper53 wants to know who do we owe the money to, the answer is virtually everyone. We are both...

I think it's a dead cert that Hatti will order the kits judging the level of interest on ES and here. She should also take d8veh advice and get rid of the BB notches at the same time. By the way, demands for bottle batteries is high, I reckon it'll fetch £200 at least on ebay so you can probably...

agreed, d8veh. I think the supplied handlebars are a source of parts that you can take what you want to suit your bike. Your idea of thumb throttle is very good, woosh should take this on board because it's natuaral to drop out of gas to change gear or brake. No need for inline brake sensors for...

The kit seems to be easier to fit than rear hub kits. I reckon it would take me under an hour to fit. I'd pick up a cheap second hand Trek on Gumtree for £100 buy a cd kit and presto, a 24mph e-bike. Cheaper to run than a Boris bike.

Cypriots will lose in many other ways for the foreseable future. Already the property market stops functioning. Businesses face payment controls. People lose jobs because inward investment dies. Even tourists stay away. Goverment cannot count on tax income from bnking sector for maybe a...

Blewit, you forgot to mention: A Greek corporation: You have two cows borrowed from French and German banks. You eat both of them. The banks call to collect their milk, but you cannot deliver so you call the IMF. The IMF loans you two cows. You eat both of them. The banks and the IMF call to...

Their real level of indebtedness is ACTUALLY much lower than ours. If you take state pension, welfare provision and bank guarantee into acount, the UK taxpayers are already liable for more than 10 trillion pounds. If we stop printing money, we'll never be able to pay intrest on existing loans...

I fear that this crisis in Cyprus is only the beginning. Attitude of the troika can only harden after this, even if it kills the Cypriot economy. Much closer to home, our official interest rate is so close to zero, we should start getting worried.

kudosdave, if you can replace the motor wheel of the King with the motorwheel of the Ariba, how much would it be?

I read somewhere that our goverment has sent some specialists over to advise the Cypriot central bank how to re-organise their banks, probably along the same line as with Greek banks, savers and cash depositors won't be hit hard, bond holders will. It's not that the situation is new, Greek &...

Excellent! That explains why you can do things for pennies why others pay pounds..

Apparently you can only use one discount code, so 10% discount is the most you can get. Still good to know.

Your best bet is the Cobra. It has the best forks, good looks and plenty of poke with that Samsung battery.

Importers such as kudos are not affected by the recession because they can take full advantage of sourcing from where there is lowest production cost. Whose fault is it that we cannot make simple e-bikes? Maggie? Brown? or both? Kudosdave chancellor would have removed the minimum wage. That's...
