it's not very difficult, but you may have to do the conversion yourself. Start with a Brompton because it's the best folding bike that can easily go in the boot of most cars. Fit a Q70 wheel. Find a way to mount an HL battery to the head tube. That's it.

can you post pictures of the bike and worn out parts?

I have the tool for that.

I spoke too soon! didn't read the thread properly. I thought he has the common wheel, like on my Gallego. I can still repair his old motor if he sends it to me though. About Brompton kits, I am still researching. I don't like the bag solution, much prefer bolts to carrying a 3kg bag.

I can sell him one.

It seems to me that rust stops the rotor. It's repairable but the repair cost is not far off the replacement cost. If you want to replace buy a whole new wheel.

that frame is perfectly OK for the HL battery.

Simon did not mention the model of the bike, and as far as I know, the problem is the bike does not have fixing threads to bolt the legs of the battery rack to. I did mention the idea of drilling a couple of holes and die thread them. Simon did not come back to me but I think he spoke to Andy...

Hello Damian, It seems to me that the freewheel has slipped. please contact support@wooshbikes.co.uk to get it sorted.

I would take a long time to clock up nearly £2 Mil of deficit.

I have sold the Gallego for a number of years, but it needs to be brought up to date. I think we'll make a kit for the Brompton instead of trying to re-invent the wheel: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gallego

no, it's not unique to them but the Brompton is solidly built and arguably the best design with lots of attention to details. Conversely, it's more difficult to convert because there is very little gap/space in the folded Brompton.

thank you for the link.

JC should know that too. Continued access to the single market is predicated to level playing field - state intervention like re-nationalisation of the utilities and BT would end up in the ECJ. He knows it and waffles on about giving free this and free that.

I think Flecc knows very well the score, he does not expect JC to succeed, just make people take the plunge. I wonder where we've seen all this before.

it's the lazy expectation that property goes up in price that is the ruin of this country.

I wonder why you think that. He promises free this, free that while putting the charge on the national credit card. JC simply lacks the courage to ask voters to pay more taxes for a fairer society. He makes me think of those TV commercials selling payday loans.

Sweden has little state owned companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_government_enterprises_of_Sweden and the benefit 'from the society they create' does not pay interest on our borrowings, our children will.

our unusually high FDI is partly due to the attractive property market and easy money stash away and laundering.

if you look closely, his ideas won't work. The UK runs an endemic trade deficit (about 3% per annum) which is made good by FDI. What he does, if followed up by future Labour governments, won't generate profit for government and deter foreign investment: trains, water, electricity, broadband...
