    Wanted MTB with Throttle wanted (Wisper, Oxygen, Woosh, etc)

    most e-bikes front suspension forks have 63mm travel, good compromise for made roads. All the Santanas have 63mm forks. The Rio MTB and Zephyr have 100mm fork with preload adjustment and lockout, so better suited for forestry tracks. Both can be ridden by a 5ft3 person but their ideal rider...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    only the conservative membership gets laughed at. I feel embarrassed for them ever since a poll reported that 73% would put brexit before breaking up the UK. we did vote for the conservative party to be the largest party in Westminster, so they have the mandate to rule for 5 years. If BJ makes...

    Spokes

    from the manufacturing point of view. I keep stainless spokes for all my bikes, they don't sell well. I know it's a relief for you! For those who want to be technical, just take a close look at how the spokes hug the flange of the motor at the J bend where breakages occur. if you are curious...

    BJ cocks up? you can't be serious! no scratch that. Since when?

    Spokes

    that's a bit harsh. if the flanges of the motor and the rims are made to fit 13 gauge spokes then it makes sense to use 13 gauge spokes. You can use 14 gauge spokes but I can't see the benefit other than 14 gauge spokes are lighter. Most wheels are trued on machines, with QC done by humans. I...

    Help! General purpose eBike, under £2k, with throttle for disabled partner

    that depends on the model. Most require you to pedal first to activate the throttle. yes, possibly, but there are other aspects of geometry that don't suit a smaller rider (under 5ftt8) like long wheel base, wide handlebars or just weight. 5ft3's best friend is the Woosh Petite, it's basically...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hunt asks Johnson if he would resign if he does not deliver Brexit by 31 October? Johnson did not want to answer. Apparently 74% of conservative members trust him. The rest of the country? I can't see him winning a public vote.

    First Ride of an Ebike

    except that some people would say that big disc is as soft as cheese... only joking. Hydraulic brakes are self adjusting, the pads' compound is hard wearing, two fingers are enough to stop the bike. On the other hand, V-brakes require maintenance, wear your rims and increase the risk of breaking...

    Competition for a Woosh Zephyr-B

    we sold out yesterday - sorry. Next arrival will be in the new year, I will revise the model in the mean time. Basically, I want to use the Rio MTB's battery on the Rio Fat bike. The Camino is introduced. Boat leaves Ningbo at the end of the week. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?camino

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Labour now officially backs a second referendum but JC still could not let go of that fence. Officially, Labour only backs remain if BJ takes us out on a no deal brexit. If Labour forms the next government, Labour still wants to renegotiate May's deal and get on with brexit. If remainers want...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the Pound falls to near two year low. £1 = $1.245 I shudder to think where the exchange rate will be in a couple of weeks when BJ becomes our next PM.

    Front hub 48v motor for very hilly area

    The branding does not matter, concentrate on the basics. As I understand, high speed is irrelevant, you are carrying your kids. You need to optimise the maximum power point where it's most needed. This is the point where your motor produces most W. this is important to build a good e-bike. Let's...

    it's no heavier than an average e-folder. If weight is the most important criterion, then my new Karoo weighs just 16.4kgs http://wooshbikes.co.uk/2019/karoo/karoo2.jpg

    Should you buy from 50Cycles?

    any shop will be forced to take on several brands to compose their shop window but they don't all sell like hot cakes. Sooner or later, slow moving stock is going to hit their cashflow and bottom line. A thriving market attracts the big boys (something beginning with H). They can offer...
