the Dorado battery case has provision for a USB socket but the battery factory did not use a BMS with USB output.

Andy confirmed that the USB port is not connected.

it's more of a kind of constant danger. People are saddled with a mortgage they can't pay off until their retirement and many have seen redundancy again and again. You only have to look at the number of people on zero hours contract.

the MaxDrive is excellent.

we all do that. If we don't specify stuff we put in our e-bikes, we'll get the kind of bikes sold in supermarkets or amazon/ebay. We assemble bikes in Southend but still not enough though. Ideally, I'd like someone to start assembling e-bike batteries here and do that with the kind of quality...

it could be made here but not sure about better quality. the materials like laminations, magnets, case moldings, ballbearings, copper wires, PCB, Hall sensors, gearboxes are mostly sourced from China. There isn't anything obvious we could improve on. Back then in the 70s, this country led the...

I like this bit: Quote: Any prime minister would prioritise the security alliance with the US over a commercial deal with China. But Johnson happens to be the first prime minister to be confronted with the choice in stark, binary terms, because his trade policy is a blank sheet of paper and...

Faro is no good off road. The new Gran Camino is better. Remove the rack and change the mudguards, it'll look the part. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gran-camino

it's difficult for us to compete against China (and a few others) because our children don't work as hard at schools, they prefer 'soft' subjects, not sciences, not foreign languages. When they become adults, they only want desk jobs, not manufacturing jobs. Most of our capital is locked into...

https://www.hamax.com/product-category/child-bike-seat/ you may need longer bolts for the seat post clamp.

most motors are made with high grade magnets, with added Samarium. In any case, the loss is only partial. However, I have repaired a couple of motors in the past where the heat melted the glue and detached a couple of magnets.

I think Spencer Kelly's problem is in the pedal sensor. The sensor is cabletied to the seat tube and can easily rotate/move. Those two halves that clip together to make up the magnet disc are also not very reliable. I still have a box of about 100 of them and stopped supply them years ago after...

the Rambletta is supplied with 31.6 x 300 sprung seat post. The new batch coming in September will be fitted with longer 400mm suspension post.

whoever controls the production, controls the technology. It's as simple as that. Maybe we should invest in developing 5G here.

from August, supplies will get back steadily to normal. From October, you'll start getting early Christmas discounts...

I am on holiday at the moment - will ask Andy to check it for you.

the chainline is at its most unfavourable position in 1st gear, thus turning the cranks in reverse may unload the chain. Nothing to worry about but there may also be some slack in the derailleur cable due to initial settling after the first few miles. Try tightening it just a little. Turn the...

I can't promise. Andy deals with this. we have no stock until the next shipment arrives (03-Aug) and then there is a backlog...

yes, but they are not in stock at the moment, next shipment arrives 03-August. We have some on the demo bikes if you need one right away.

yes. The motor will get in the way.
