of course not. Spokes and rims are usually excluded from manufacturers warranty. The usual cause for spokes on e-bikes to break is a loose spoke. Spokes work in extension (pulling). if one spoke is loose, it has lost all its tension. When you go over a stone, there is one out of 36 chance that...

that's very hard. The problem is how long you are going to keep the frame versus how long the product is staying at the top. Let's say you make a frame for motor X. If production of X is stopped in 5 years, you only have less than 4 for that frame because sales of that motor would have flopped...

it's not crazy money but how many of those you think would sell in the UK a year? You spend a lot of effort on something as perishable as high end products then at the end of the season, rely on bargain chasers to clear the space. It's a mugs game.

there are already laws for this. The problem is the temp agencies that are based in a low wage country. Take the lorry drivers who deliver my containers as an example. Most of them are Eastern Europeans, working here but paid by their agencies at home.

blame the Bitcoin miners.

a soft brexit is not cheap but certainly not a failure.

to be fair, he does not push e-bikes and what he says is mostly justifiable.

clearly, the local bike shop where you took your bike to did not want your business. You asked him to repair your wheel, not the bike's electrics. Remove the wheel then bring it to another bike shop.

the two batteries on the Supercharger look like Dorado batteries. If you need 1000WH battery, you could have one on the downtube and one on the rear rack with off the shelf components. Dorado battery (like on the Woosh Rio MTB):

Just what I wanted for my next pedal sensor!

the trend is usually consumer-led, there must be more demand for e-bikes otherwise large distributors like Halfords and CRC would not bother. As the market grows, customers become more sophisticated and demand for top end products grows. Most of the expensive bikes you see is down to the small...

I am not sure I understand what he means.

there's regularly a political angle to some threads like this one: EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes. It has clocked up 370 posts and 19 pages. The full acting throttle had also lots of posts, mostly political. It's the variety of subjects that makes this forum an...

At the moment, I don't but will start selling fat kits in September. The cost is about the same as the 48V SWX02. It's only the motor wheel that is different. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/#/product/uid-188-swx02-48v12ah/bafang-swx02-48v-250w-26in-rear-hub-kit-with-48v-12ah-battery

the only people who can judge accurately the cost/benefit of all things that we take for granted as member of the EU are the experts. Ordinary people can see the cost but can't calculate the benefit. Cameron is like our politicians (the vast majority of them are not experts in anything through...

yes. You tell Bafang the voltage (usually 36V or 48V) and power rating (250W-750W) that you want, they'll wind the motor to suit your requirements.

it is usually the same unit programmed with higher max current. For road use, I suggest the legal one, even the 15A controller is pretty decent on pulling power. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/#/category/uid-4/cd-conversion-kits

shush... don't tell him that he could invent something for the BBS01, that would spoil his next bank holiday...

interesting remark from a DT reader today: "With a good percentage of UK nationals getting Irish, Spanish, French, German and other EU passports and EU nationals here getting UK passports , there will be two types of UK citizens, those with freedom of movement and those without."

after riding the bike a while, the gear shifter cable may settle a little, causing the gears to play up a bit. Adjust the gear shifter with the barrel thumb adjuster, Usually half a turn anticlockwise would be sufficient to cancel the slack. Check first that you can shift through the gears...
