    New Conversion kit launching

    find me examples of users asking for manuals on this forum, I don't think you wil find many. All the kits I sell for example have not only their installation manuals posted on my website, LCDs and motor drawings too. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?manuals If you look at Chinese sellers, try...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    JC pretends that his manifesto could be paid by taxing more the top 5% earners. That most voters don't believe him is easy to see why.

    I wish you well - I came into this thread not because I am curious about your product, but simply because KirstinS made some good points and you didn't give him the benefit of thorough investigation before answering him. I sell Chinese made kits as you can see from my signature and I do support...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Labour share of the votes drop from the age of 30 onward. Could the explanation be that is the age that most of us start to contribute more in taxes than take out in services and the issue of funding becomes better understood? Although I like re-nationalisation, free education, state funding of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Labour party gives the impression that it has been taken over by Momentum, Unite and the trio: Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott. Until that lot is replaced, Labour is not going anywhere.

    Help! E-Bike Converstion for an ethusastic idiot.

    You need specialist controller to run two motors. Far too complicated. for your weight, I would suggest Decathlon Rockrider 540 and BBS01B crank drive conversion. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/st-540-mountain-bike-grey-red-275-id_8500757.html...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Labour leadership hustings in Liverpool: they all say that Labour must win at the next election but no candidate dared to say what to do about Corbyn's legacy.

    Help! E-Bike Converstion for an ethusastic idiot.

    your 12 miles a day commute is perfect for bikes. Any e-bike will do that. Your problem is how to use the cycle to work voucher most effectively. I would say that the most effective is to ask some company like Halfords, Tredz, e-bikesdirect.co.uk which bike you can get. Keep their offers as the...

    all the usual CD motors have the same arrangement: two one way bearings, one between the motor's rotor and the gearbox to let the rotor rest, one between the bottom bracket and the gearbox to let the pedals rest. About which is the lightest, the comparison is not strictly fair. Most usual CD...

    The GNG has a simple one way clutch system as in this picture, the chainring can be pedalled without dragging the motor, the PAS is attached to the bottom bracket axle, thus unaffected by the motor. I assume yours has same arrangement?

    Help! E-Bike Converstion for an ethusastic idiot.

    your Halfords cycle to work voucher is enough for the project. Halfords charge 15% commission on their voucher, so for the retailer, it's worth £850. Allow about £100 for labour, you are left with £750 for the kit. That's a good budget. For commuting, the basic choice is between mid motor...

    I can agree with that. That's why adjustable stem is a benefit for those who prefer a more upright riding position. It gives up to 1.5" extra height to the bars. If they need more than that, I'll fit a stem extender to give them extra 4". We do have fixed MTB stems in stock and can fit them...

    if someone wants to use a bike to go down that track at high speed, I would warn them that they need different kind of components. Those who race know what they need for their own safety. I sell my bikes to people who ride mostly on roads, canal paths and forestry tracks. The warranty covers...

    the wheels may buckle, the brakes may fade, the tyres may blow, but I can guarantee that the adjustable stem is well designed and it won't fail on those hills. You bark up the wrong tree.

    I didn't say that. The M6 holds the locking plate which has 6 teeth that key into the pivot. The M6 bolt is not load bearing. I converted this afternoon a Btwin Roackrider 540 full suspension with a BBS01B and 17.5AH battery. I reckon it would go down that hill in your video with ease and won't...

    I'll post some pictures of the adjustable stem on the Rio tomorrow. The pivot is locked with an M6 bolt on the underside of the stem. It's not going to break even if you put a ton of weight on it, the handlebars would go well before that. The pivot itself is an M5 bolt.

    although I have never come across an adjustable stem failing, I can fit a fixed stem if the customer prefers it. The cost of a fixed stem is a little less for us.
