it's early days, give them a bit of time and space.

If we have the main gear in stock, we would simply use it because it save on labour. I know it would be more environmentally friendly to pull out the bearing and seat a new one but economically, replacing sub assemblies is cheaper for customers. Listen carefully and try to feel where the...

that means if you put in 100W, the motor 300% of your input, 300W, the bike gets 400W. 100W is good pedaling. The motor is capable up to 600W, this is roughly indicative of a 20A controller. It also means that if you are very atlhetic, the bike will not offer more if you exceed 200W of your own...

his methods are erratic, that's why I compared him to Luke Rheinhart in 'The Dice Man'. For example, he needs Congress to give him $25 billions for his wall, so he did something outrageous with the immigrant mums and their kiddies. His threatening to vaporise North Korea is OTT but still, you...

Picked this article today from the Guardian: "Brexit Britain is a precarious business model coupled with throwback fantasies about buccaneering our way around the Commonwealth. It makes us easy prey for the likes of Airbus, which although profitable in this country has been exploring its...

I may just do that. I am building a little team at the moment. Just been talking to a local firm doing Solidworks design this afternoon.

after 20-July, they may remove the cranks and say it's a toy, not an e-bike!

I guess not but there may be a logical explanation. Can you reliably make it go wrong?

this time, it's not economies of scale. After the EU imposed ADD on normal Chinese bikes, Chinese companies created factories in Cambodia for example to avoid duty. That was 25 years ago. Taiwan is a small country, its production capacity is already fully used. You are looking at creating...

I don't know what Trump's motivation is anymore. I thought it was about trade imbalances, the US buy more from the EU than sell to the EU. Surely, the better way is to ask the EU to ease non tariff barriers to help US companies sell into the EU. Tariffs decrease sales, it will hurt both sides...

I recently approached a number of factories in TW to source a replacement for my 20" folding Gale. TW prices are roughly 10% higher than Chinese and the MOQ is 320 bikes in a single drop because they have so much orders at the moment, they are not interested in smaller quantities. It is clear...

worse than that, sparks can kill the controller. BTW, you do get more miles out of skinny tyres. My Karoo is fitted with 700 x 28 but can use 700 x 22 or 700 x 25. Some customers get as much as 83 miles from a 36V 13AH battery. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?karoo

heavy duty alright:

motors do need new ballbearings. 3,300 miles: a bit on the low side but not very unusual. If you are stuck, send it to us.

it's a torque sensor bike but tuned for instant start which helps heavy riders.

no, it's simpler than that. Bosch, Yamaha, Brose, Shimano, Bafang etc make bikes with torque sensors. You put in X, the motor is programmed to deliver 1X, 1.5X, 2X, 3X etc. The bike computer asks the battery how much charge in WH it has left, works out how many WH 1X, 1.5X, 2X etc is, divides...

those rims didn't last 5 minutes! lol. (fastforward to 9:30 minutes time index)

the tories seem to reconcile around the idea of the Ukraine DCFTA model, despite the objection from the EU of 'cherry picking'. JRM is certainly willing to support DCFTA and the soft brexiters will have to accept that 90%+regulatory alignment is way better than WTO. I reckon when it comes to the...

nothing new, the DE has always been all over places on brexit and not showing much respect to their readership.

you should hurry up a bit. Anti dumping on Chinese bikes will kick in in about 3 weeks. All Chinese imports will stop for a few months while the industry re-organises itself. There will be shortages and long lead time this summer. Start your search by trying out a couple of bikes. Then tell us...
