    Whoosh ?

    that is because the quality of Chinese bikes catches up with EU made bikes. Nowhere is as obvious as the quality of the frame.

    Help! Ebike Delivery Problems

    about 'volumising', Tuffnells call that 'cubed' - some depot managers randomly stick an £11.36 surcharge on the box, despite it's the same size as the ones they had before. At the bottom of the invoice, there is a 7.6% fuel surcharge before charging VAT on the lot. So I pay £33 * 1.076 = £35.50...

    you don't have much faith in Chinese e-bikes do you? despite the evidence - that is the vast majority of commuters ride Chinese made e-bikes, they'd soon give up if their bikes fall to bits. A few have since built their own bikes, but the kits are still Chinese. Actually, how many that you know...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not sure he can say that. He has to behave like a PM in waiting because he is the most likely PM in the foreseeable future. As future PM, he needs to be diplomatic to both the Palestinian Authority and the government of Israel. Therefore, the definition of anti-semitism needs to be without...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    look around. Which one can you vote for? LibDems? Greens? Monster Raving Loonies? they don't even have a policy on brexit. If the conservatives split, then the centre leaning conservatives are likely to rejoin the EU.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the conservatives are seen as the party for brexit, their opposition is divided. As there were roughly 51% of voters for brexit, it's expected that they were going to form the 2017 government. Although I had hoped that they'd lose their majority, I was nevertheless amazed when the result came...

    Do we have a “Volt” bike representative among us?

    only old designs are repairable. Modern batteries are designed to be thrown away. Previously, you can recell batteries because the pack is not completely stuck to the casing. Nowadays, after the battery is tested, they fill the whole interior with silicon sealant. Only the BMS and connectors are...

    Need help !

    I would suggest the Big Bear or the step through Big Bear LS. Either will cope well with hills and your weight. The LS has hydraulic brakes, so no faffing about with the brakes. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear-ls
