Eddie I didn't want to put off Willem too much as yes your thoughts on the bike were not good at the time and proceeding posts, for Willem's sake hopefully they have got better.

Gocycle is a niche premium UK designed and built bike, the price is reflected by the carbon fibre used in it's build. It may or may not be better, the simplicity of the look/design will appeal to those who can afford it or want something that is different.

The Gocycle GX is the folding bike not the GS in the video.

With the weight and size you will definitely get caught for duty and vat, possibly anti dumping tax to pay as well even on a single purchase. More knowledgeable answer will likely come from Woosh's input.

Thank you Helen & Russ, A merry Christmas to you two as well and all who frequent the site.

When you do get your bike Willem, keep us informed of how it performs and any issues that may arise. The only real meaningful feed back we have had was about 5 years ago when EddiePJ suffered misfortunes with his bike and wasn't suitably impressed with the CS, maybe that has changed now and your...

Yes there are dealers and finding one won't be a likely issue but they aren't going to fix it for free. We hear of bearing and grinding noise issues from the motor and how they need greasing and this and that need doing to help keep things water tight, how many people are going to faff about...

A Bosch bike without warranty will be costly when it develops an issue and they do, motors generally can be only exchanged via a dealer. If the electronics develop a fault then it will be of scrap value.

SW is pragmatically looking at is as an experienced ebike owner amd the value is what he thinks it is worth in buyers world, no warranty and no idea of how the battery has been cared or looked after. One well known retailer who warranties dongle Bosch bikes once only offered 60% of a brand new...

Old Groaner or Older Downer !!!!

When you like tinkering sometimes one just can not stop.

As a solution you could carry a folding tyre with you.

Use the key to unlock slide battery forward and lift up.

SW is pretty much right, if the bike has no warranty a buyer is taking a gamble if a fault occurs.

Not being biased at all as I have no connection with Wisper, the 806T has been designed as a folding ebike with the wiring run etc taken in to account. The Dahon with a kit won't be as nice a finish as the Wisper, though will be a different story if Woosh fit the kit as they will adjust the wire...

Don't forget the torque range from Wisper has a little trick up it's sleeve, it utilises torque sensor PAS system with the hub drive but if need be you can select the ' F ' setting for PAS cadence. Also Wisper hold spares in stock for all their bikes aged up to at least 10 years old. Of any...

It's not an obscure bike brand to those in the know and Wisper batteries use good branded cells, at 18 month I doubt there is very much wrong with it. Batteries over time age with the years but there should be little issue to worry about, looked after well some can get well over 5 years usage...

If the need is still to go for S- ped a specific built one should be easier to register then a dongled bike which would need extra testing to get any paper work passed. The other issue is to probe insurers for cost and whether they actually will insure one, to be legal on a speed ped I think as...

My plan if and when I can get around to it is to convert Swizzbee #1 to 48v, #1 has been problematic with the Sram hub gears and motor brush replacement. Though it works I have #2 which is in excellent running order. Two options in mind. 1. Replace the brushed behind the seat motor with a...

The cheap e-bikes in most part are ideal in most part for peeps who don't ride to much or only want a local run about, the problems is that peeps don't know or can't be bothered how to carry out simple repairs to a bike and when that happens they are abandoned in the garage or shed. Tbh the...
