    Bike for Mum, must be step through and have hub gears

    The Sundowner would suit your Dad, it's too big for your Mum. For your Mum, I would recommend the Woosh Petite, which has 24" wheels or the larger Woosh Santana3 with 26" wheels which is big enough for both your Mum and Dad to share. Your dad would just need a longer seat post to accommodate...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I know the feeling. However, push bikes would be cheaper, e-bikes will pay the same duty as e-bike parts now (about 5%), only assembly cost will be cheaper. Still, there is an extension to Feb 2020, a second referendum before that and brexit may be cancelled! it'll be only but a dream!

    Bike for Mum, must be step through and have hub gears

    Bikes with hub motors don't need shifting gear. Your mum could select just one gear that suits her best, 4, 5, 6 or 7th and stay on it for months. The motor will flatten the hills, if she needs extra power, just twist the throttle. How tall and how heavy is your Mum? I have an ex demo Woosh...

    Help! BBS01 and Alfine 8 problems

    Adrian should try Peter.c's suggestion, run the Alfine one gear lower than now to ease the pressure on the cogs to see how it goes. Crank drives need higher cadence. I have never had any trouble with hub gears.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    LibDems Layla Moran confirmed that they will support a deal brought back by Bojo in exchange for a second referendum. Failing that, they want Bojo to seek extension sooner than 19-October so we can have earlier election. Polls predict the conservatives will be returned to power, with or without...

    Introducing the Woosh Faro

    In general, I have to keep our models to our main niche, which is bikes for the 'traditionally built' with large motors and batteries. The Faro is definitely not in that segment. However, the Aikema 85SX motor on the Faro has a double stage reduction gearbox to compensate for its smaller size...

    Electric Lights - connected to VLCD 5 ontroller or direct to battery

    it's switched on/off by the LCD on/off. I woudn't connect anything heavy on power to it, if it blows the step down in the LCD, that's be a very expensive mobile phone charger.

    Electric Lights - connected to VLCD 5 ontroller or direct to battery

    the VLCD5 has a USB port, very conveniently placed, for charging your mobile phone.

    Electric Lights - connected to VLCD 5 ontroller or direct to battery

    that's a good suggestion. The USB port on the 36V battery does not support very high current, 1A is the maximum you can pull from it.

    Help! BBS01 and Alfine 8 problems

    use the throttle for hill start. The throttle controls the motor without lag. Do like you would with a manual gearbox on hill, when you cut back on the throttle, the motor will instantly cut out, change gear then push the throttle again.

    That can only work with a corrupt media controlled by moguls. The media whips up other connected or unconnected grievances to muddy the water. Just imagine for a moment a world without the tabloids... QUOTE: “Essentially you’re delegitimizing their attack by simply muddying the water, and...

    that's precisely the fault of the EU. they pay import duty which goes to the EU's coffers but not UK VAT. The Chinese set up small ebay businesses in Germany, use German bonded warehouse and shipping facilities to send out goods to the UK without paying VAT. Just imagine all the Chinese kits...

    yes, like a torch. There is an M6 security bolt that you can change to a secure version if you wish. Replacement battery (36V 8AH) costs £199.

    it's the tenth time time I have been told about that kickstand and the motor cable today! The kickstand was a late add-on and it looks terrible. This is how the motor cable looked before that kickstand got installed:

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the fundamentals have not changed. The problem is with leaders of the brexit movement, they appear to be mendacious and willing to flout the law. If JC were a brexit leader, then perhaps things could be different.
