Based on your location (Sheffield), height (5ft7) and weight (80kgs), I would suggest the woosh Rio MTB or the Oxygen SCROSS MTB. Oxygen is nearer to you but the Rio MTB is a bit smaller, 26" wheels rather than 27.5" may suit your height better. Otherwise, they are similar...

brexit was won by the conservatives.

Goodwin is not always correct. QUOTE: On 27 May 2017, he predicted that Labour would not reach 38 per cent of the vote in the 2017 general election and he would eat his book if they did. Labour did and, on 10 June, Goodwin chewed one page out of his book, live on Sky News, therefore not...

they have a gig economy solution for charging. Their staff will be notified where the bikes needing charging are, they arrive, swap out the battery. That does not solve the vandalism issue though.

both geared hub and crank drive motors have internal clutch, they freewheel without the stickiness that you'll find in direct drive conversions. you should consider bike with a cadence sensor which lets you pedal as much or as little as you like. Bikes fitted with torque sensors require you to...

I carried a non-electric brompton around London last few days to get the feel for someone who would use an electric one which weighs 6kgs more than the 12kgs brompton. I can't do more than 200m before getting knackered carrying 12kgs leave alone 18kgs. If I had a laptop or some books to carry on...

if you convert using a front hub motor, it needs to be lightweight not to break the fork's jaws through inertia (if and when you hit a pothole). The XF07 weighs 2.8kgs. 48V motors tend to be weightier, you would need to install torque arms. Torque arms help but are not 100% risk free, plus it's...

parts are OK to import, assembled bikes? no, don't go there. Assembled bikes are subject to anti-dumping duty of 87% unless your supplier is on the list of collaborators to the EU. Those are companies that helped the EU case and disclosed all their production costs and subsidies received from...

hi, you don't have to spend that much money on a commuting bike. keep it as simple as possible for maximum reliability: hard tail or road bike, hydraulic brakes, internal cable routing etc as you would with a non electric bike. I prefer my bike with in-frame battery, less showy, it does not say...

Merry Christmas everyone.

duty on imports at the moment go to the EU for operating the customs union. The collecting authorities (HMRC) retains 10% of the receipts to cover operational costs. The local authority is also charged with defending patents and such likes on imported goods. There was a recent case of the EU...

he earns pretty good money from his political career.

we make mistakes electing the wrong PM all the time.

RLB can't be worse than Corbyn. She'll be OK facing Bojo in PMQs. Labour needs the unions to stay afloat now. They'll figure out how to fight the tories in 4-5 years time.

tour propella 2.2 is similar to my Faro, check it out: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?faro Mine has hydraulic brakes and also the option of in-frame battery or larger downtube battery.

taxes on import go to HMRC, the effect on our public borrowing is not significant. The general rule is more tax deters consumption but really it's the availability of cheap credit is the real driving force. The current anti-dumping duty on Chinese bikes has effectively forced assembly to be...

I would have thought automation reduces the requirement for training thus making those jobs (working on automated production lines) more accessible.

I can fix it for you if you can bring your motor in.

it's octet, plural octets and also mega-octet(s). It's an SI unit, same word exists in English. We French use the correct SI units in common spoken language for added precision.

all the more reason to resist this form of assimilation and monoculture.
