One thing is certain, it is reassuringly expensive, so perfect for XMAS.

no worries about Shimano parts, they have been tested millions of times. It's the electronics that is not so well tested. Things like battery casing, motor casing, the lugs on the battery cover when you remove the battery, cell welding failure, LCD broken, LCD cable that gets snagged. On my new...

if it backfires, for example a plastic part breaks too easily, it can damage the brand too.

on the other hand, none of us UK based has successfully sold carbon framed e-bikes. As far as I know, Wisper has not even sold road style e-bikes. It's nearly 3 years since I have been selling the Karoo and I have just finished its first revision. It takes that long to figure out where next.

that's over simplified.

the problem is the speed limiter is a blunt instrument. If the road or cycletrack is totally empty, I would have no objection that e-bikers have a bit of harmless fun.

do we need to remind ourselves that the law lets us ride as fast as we like, but not assisted at above 25kph. There is absolutely no fair argument to support an e-biker overtaking a normal bike at for example 32 kph with a motor.

nothing stops people who need a cargo bike to get a number plate and pay insurance. We need to remind ourselves that EAPC is a concession so we can share in the advantages available to non-assisted bikers. When we get older, it's not just the muscles weaken, our brain goes slow, our eyes can't...

that's just plain wrong. From our perspective, 15mph assist speed limit is right for the vast majority of our less than perfect roads and already, a significant percentage of EAPC riders derestrict their bikes. Increasing the assist limit would not cut that percentage.

the general public is too far removed from where the bombs fell.

The Karoo and Rio MTB are too small for your 6'3 frame. I will have a new Karoo for taller riders in July. Stealthier and lighter than the current Karoo.

they got about £100 mils, nothing compared to the last bombing, in just 2 hours, the West managed to spend more than 6 times as much flattening a few buildings without any collateral damage. That gives a new spin on Donald Trump's new and smart bombs...

I watched BBC News24 Hardtalk this morning (4:30AM) Stephen Sackur interviewed Fares Shehabi. The latter managed to point out how the West helped bringing in 250,000 Jihadis into Syria...

Me too. Some people spend an awful lot of dosh to hide the fact that they need a little help now and then.

bought on ebay? No income tax, no VAT No money back, no guarantee Black or white, rich or broke We'll cut prices at a stroke! just joking.

I don't stock the Q128C because of its double stage reduction gearbox and consequently high reduction ratio. The SWX02 has single stage gearbox and bigger magnets. It's a bit heavier but the robustness is worth the extra weight. I don't do KT controllers either, only Lishui controllers.

we can ship kits to Spain for £15 extra. You get normal support and warranty service. Something like the XF08C kit perhaps? http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#xf08ckit And for tough hill climbing, 48V SWX02 kit (only in 26" rim though). http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#swx02-48v-kit

that is why I like the Norway model. In the SM but can still add some in the future.

yes, it is a big point concerning not so much the BBS01 because it does not have huge power but totally when it is the BBS02 and the HD.

thanks for letting me know. I did find the connector in one of their youtube videos a little while after posting. They don't save much weight on motor (1.91kgs) + gearbox (1.31kgs) = 3.22kgs compared to the 2.9kg Bosch Active Line drive unit. The clever bit is to remove both motor and battery...
