it's completely different in operating principle. The Bosch has a torque sensor, the output depends on your cadence multiplied by pedal pressure multiplied by user settable assist ratio. The Rio has only cadence sensor and user defined outputs, independent of cadence and pedal pressure. You have...

that's a perk of buying direct :)

warwick is selling his Bosch - Ortler for £600. it has 7-speed hub gear, so no problem with derailleur, a typical weak point for CD bikes.. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/classifieds/ortler-wien-7-speed-igh-ebike.91/

No. The fork on the Rambletta has postmount for disc brakes but the front hub has not got rotor mount. The rear motor has rotor mount but no postmount. Many customers have already suggested disc brakes for the next revision.

the price difference does not come from us taking more profit but from 20% VAT. PSWPower is a Chinese company, they pay import duty but actually, you are the legal importer into this country in the eye of HMRC, you are legally liable to declare and pay VAT. Due to the leniency in freedom of...

very interesting and insightful summary. Thank you warwick. I think another member has clocked up 14,000 miles with his Bosch based bike. Would you be able to work out a rough total ownership cost per mile?

isn't it true that there is no cure to viruses, especially the cold and flu viruses? Millions die every year of them and still no cure.

I think our natural immune system can cope with CV. I get free flu jab every year because of my diabetes. I guess they will add CV19 to the flu jab this year. Few % of the population would need a cure.

Bafang has the M800 out for nearly a year, it weighs just 2.2kgs and looks very smart. Lots of lightweight bikes have it now. Aikema comes out with their M65M, also 2.2kgs and is nearly identical to the M800 but at half the price. I am tempted to fit one to my Faro.

Project fear? More people would buy it compared to a cure.

at 13.5kgs, you have Juicy's Furtivo and Orbea Gain, they are two of the lightest e-bike this side of £2,000 https://www.juicybike.co.uk/electric-bikes/furtivoo The Woosh Faro is 3kgs heavier, at 16.5kgs: https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?faro

I am interested in real life experience. the general view is geared hub bikes are more suitable for commuting. You've reported regularly on your own experience over about 4 years on 3 different bikes. I thought you can offer a very good account of acquisition and running costs. Bluenoes had...

I chose the VLCD5 because it has remote buttons in addition to those on the LCD. In cold weather, you may need to wear gloves. Compared to geared hub bikes, CD bikes need more presses.

If I were to add a spy function, I would simply add my time server in addition to the usual list NTP servers. The device will appear to innocently run through the list of NTP servers regularly... who is going to suspect me? I bin anything that requires a phone app.

that sounds plausible! Essex Uni is a stone throw from our shop,its campus is mainly occupied by Chinese student, even nearer to us (about 50m) and they all have wealthy parents, as says Hatti's friend who runs the arts shop in our street. They don't need to steal, they are educated by our...

@Warwick how many miles did you do with your Oxygen compared to your Bosch Ortler?

how about blaming your poor age related eyesight when setting the wheel's diameter to 20" instead of 700C and read the speed in kph?

HCSEC started in 2010- 10 years ago, to look into every piece of hardware that Huawei supply. Our guys know more about Huawei kits perhaps than Huawei's guys themselves. This is of course not paralleled by the other 3 5G telecom suppliers. That does not mean that the PCBs can't hide spy/kill...

your commute can be done by a number of well proven bikes, such as the Oxygen SCROSS: https://www.oxygenbicycles.com/shop-2/s-cross-cb/ or the Woosh Camino: https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?camino The two bikes above have cadence sensor and rear geared hub motors. They are much more suited to...

which bike lets you down, Emanresu? If you have a hub motor, you would still be able to ride home after such a problem.
