    Woosh Santana motor suddently cut out, cause?

    none of the wires should be frayed or exposed outside the controller box. You may need a replacement controller. Please email some pictures to support@wooshbikes.co.uk - Andy will get it sorted for you.

    Shipping an Ebike/ Taking it on holiday

    All couriers have suspended their delivery service into the EU. The only way to take your e-bike to the EU at the moment is in your car.

    Receiving goods from the EU post Brexit - no deal

    it's not clear if the UK and EU will insist on rules of origin (RoO) for re-imported or re-exported goods. The FTA concerns only with goods containing at least 60% in value of EU or UK or both parts. Take e-bikes for example. The UK will have to lift anti-dumping on Chinese e-bike soon because...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    true, I suppose she wanted to help BJ's claim to victory. The UK has to ratify it first, before the end of the year. In the new year, VDL may change her tune. The way I see it, the EU's wish list is more or less completely accorded. EU conceded only 25% of its catch of fish over 5 years, not...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we are and we are not. The devil is in the details of the rules of origin or 'RoO' in the document. To qualify for preferential tariff (moving toward net zero but can be not zero), UK products need 60% UK origin. EU contents in UK products count also as UK origin. This point will also be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BJ got his Canada style deal. So is it a success for the EU or for BJ? My contention is the no tariff deal is a success for the EU. They sell more to us then we to them. It comes with our obligation to keep up with EU's standard. Canada is not obliged to. In the mean time, they continue to fish...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    of course the EU will profit from the deal. They got us by the short and curlies. BJ will claim this and that, I reckon zlatan is right in saying that the German car manufacturers got exactly what they always wanted. A. Campbell said that Keir Starmer should abstain and explain that this deal is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BJ will claim victory. He will make the point that we can continue to sell our fish to the EU tariff free. He'll say that we'll got the EU to accept our points and a new system will be created in 5 years which we will have full control of our fish. He'll say that he's got 50% increase in value...

    Invention help charging system

    he's trying to find a partner/client to invest in his idea. He can't go into details because the project has not been granted a patent yet. The problem is the traditional chicken and egg. Investors are more interested in something that is already protected by a patent or can be or in a project...

    yes, I remember that conversation, and I had already had a hard time convincing Hatti the let me move from the first Sirocco from 10A to 14A.

    it's simply and defined, you can wiki it if you like. the pedal-assist, i.e. the motorised assistance that only engages when the rider is pedalling, cuts out once 25 km/h is reached, and when the motor produces maximum continuous rated power of not more than 250 watts (n.b. the motor can...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the bit where I am in was green until a couple of weeks ago. A few days ago, Southend General had the most covid deaths, 20 people died on a single day. We are constantly on alert. Someone in the team knows someone else who tested positive every day. I think it's too risky to continue working...

    BJ keeps making the same mistakes. He must have known by now that the tier system is not strong enough to reduce hospitalisation and the hospitals are now full.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BJ should cancel Christmas for all or change the rules for Christmas. Cancelling Christmas in only tier 4 is not a good decision. In a week, the new variant will be all over the UK. Just look at how Covid D614G spread in the summer. The new variant is even twice as infective as D614G.

    you may have a 130NM at the chainring but that's the maximum value, you don't have to use all of it. On flat roads, you may only need 10NM (at the wheels) to keep your bike at 25kph (10NM * 2 pi radians * 200 rpm/60s = about 210W). 10NW at the wheels =20NM at the belt ring. On hills, you'll of...

    the battery looks like generic. The controller is in a separate box. The speed sensor looks generic too. I am puzzled about one detail. There is a wire going from the motor to the seat tube. What is it for?

    that's angular speed (radians per second), not road speed though. What I like most about the design is the philosophy. Remove as much single points of failure as possible. You end up with a robust bike that everyone can understand, one frame + two wheels and that's it. No derailleur, gear cable...

    that looks like you said. Apparently, the hackers tried to piggyback on Microsoft software update to distribute their backdoor code. If they are successful, all the windows PCs may be at their control.
