hello eddieo, can the Bosch system be adapted to have a twist and go throttle? and do the cranks always move when the motor is engaged?

My wife has a foldable Rayleigh Swift and often complained about how unconfortable the Rayleigh is whenever we happen to ride together. I think small foldables without power is only for the purists. The best compromise is 1) weight 2) comfort 3) how unmessy it is to fold and lastly cost because...

Is there any point converting unsuspended bikes to electric? As the wheels get smaller, motobike designs are better adapted for electric drive. flecc, wouldn't you agree?

hello jerrysimon, you are unique on this forum for having built your own Brompton based ebike, which is probably the best small foldable ebike in the world right now. I am very interested to know how you envisage the perfect portable - if such a bike can be built?

Yes, and he did so (spoke key £5 at Halfords). I helped him yesterday afternoon. It's cheaper than sending the bike or the wheel back! It will be interesting to hear from mail order manufacturers (Kudos, Ezee, Juicy Bikes etc) with regard to helping their customers with mechanical failures where...

the Ubike has too many problems: - flimsy construction - no suspension - small wheel size - small motor - (very) small battery It may be OK for Asian women like in the picture above but not a serious bike

I'd go for the Brompton too! I have seen it in London recently and it's so beautifully built!

I picked it up from wooshbikes.co.uk I think it costs about £600.

This bike is not in the same league as the Dahon! However, it has 250W 15mph 16kgs 36V 8AH Lithium and folds in 1 second.

something like this?

I'll tell him to take it to his local bikeshop. Thank you all.

Frank, it turns out he hit the kerb. My friend thought it wasn't really his fault, the wheel should not have buckled so easily but then again, he's about 17 st. and the tyre was a little floppy. Linda, is hitting the kerb a self inflicted accident?

Yesterday, my friend had a little accident while riding down some contry tracks. The rear wheel of his bike somehow got completely wonky although the rim seems to be OK still. He is worried that the mail order company he bought from will refuse to fix the bike under guarantee. What should he...

Hi Steve, the picture is of a GPS tracker for children/old people. It's supposed to be easy to clip onto clothing or kept in your pocket or padlocked to something. The GPS tracker of the OP measures 64mm x 46 mm x 17mm. This one is smaller and lasts longer on one charge (100 hours on standby)...

I found this: easy to secure to the frame?

Best place for it would be inside the front light, use the same 5V supply for the light and the GPS.

Hi Jorge, I feel for you but with hindsight, buying on the internet from a dealer residing in anther country is asking for trouble. Best course of action in my view is obtaining a refund and buy locally. Just a matter of interest, who is the dealer in Portugal?

Hi Jonah, the Sirocco is sold by wooshbikes.co.uk, they are based in Southend-on-Sea. I phoned them last week and they told me that the Sirocco were sold out. Next shipment is due on the 7th of July. The price is £535. Here is a picture of the Sirocco:

Hi Steve, I thought the device comes with a car charger which should accept 12V or 24V input.
