    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    not quite. The single or mono shock on my Rambletta has 25mm travel. The RST Omega on my Zephyr-B folding bike has 100mm travel. Most hybrid e-bike suspension forks like the popular Suntour NEX has 63mm travel.

    Newbie looking for help

    could you post some pictures of your bike? 3 questions that usually jump to mind: - where to put the battery - where to put the LCD and perhaps a thumb throttle - how would the motor or pedal sensor fit? so it's useful to have pictures of: - the bike - the handlebars viewed from front - the...

    if you go with the TSDZ2 with a 48V 15AH rack battery, you may just about make it back (75 miles) but still a very hard day's ride. The charger gives out 2A, so for 12AH, it would take 6 hours from flat. For the 48V 15AH rack battery, 7-8 hours...

    one way (37 miles) yes, return on the same battery no. the 48V 12AH is good enough for about 50 miles, but with a tough climb, you may just about reaching Cardiff.

    No. The advantage of the VLCD5 is its versatility. You have a USB port and remote buttons. It has sockets for brake sensors. It will fit on any handlebars. It works well with gloved fingers and bright enough in daylight.

    yes, it would work very well and easy to fit. You can have double chainring with the TSDZ2 but most people are happy with the supplied single chainring.

    they should tell the public that vaccines may not work for all people. That'll soften them up to accept some fatalities.

    on the Faro, it's inside the downtube (8AH) or on the downtube (17AH) If you get it in kit, it will be on the downtube like this: https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?faro

    they need to know how many deaths per day the public will tolerate while waiting for a cure or a vaccine. At the moment, ministers run around TV stations like headless chickens.

    Help! Adding to Bafang 250w 36 v - GTech retrofit

    you can make a mess out of that bike by fitting another kit. Not much wrong with the choice of components per se but it may be fiddly to fit the Dual Hall pedal sensor. It has to go on the drive side. The controller you selected will need to be housed in a bag. Not ideal. If you really want to...

    the issue I have with UC is the coercive principle behind it. On the face of it, UC is supposed to encourage people to get back to work but in practice, it does not help people to do that. As SW said, it is ruthlessly effective in applying sanctions to reduce the amount paid to claimants. If I...

    I would convert the Whyte Dorset with a crank drive torque sensing Tongsheng TSDZ2 or a stealthy Aikema 85SX to keep it lightweight. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/#/product/uid-207-tsdz2-12ah/tsdz2-cd-kit-48v-12ah...

    Help! Adding to Bafang 250w 36 v - GTech retrofit

    you have a Lishui controller - may be worth a look inside the controller box to see if there are unused connectors. The simplest improvement is to connect an external battery in parallel to the Gtech battery.
