    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We/I switch to speaking French when we are in France. Everyone can do the same because it's not a question of ability (unless you are a tourist), it's a matter of respect for the land and the people.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I rode to the market (in France) this morning. The only 'immigrants' were the few that sell couscous, paella and vietnamese spring rolls. Contrast that crowd with my local Sainsbury's supermarket's (practically on the doorstep of our shop) on an average day, 2 of 5 speak Russian or Polish or an...

    Chinese Manufacturer Kocass Ebikes Can Do OEM 10pcs

    I think you put the fear into the heart of many importers with talk of setting up shops on amazon and ebay. Many have done so already! Just imagine ordering your bike bespoke made directly from the factory!

    Chinese Manufacturer Kocass Ebikes Can Do OEM 10pcs

    kada, I'd like to ask you a question. I assume that Chinese manufacturers make faster progress than Americans and Europeans. They will catch up with their main competitors very soon. How soon do you think we'll get to see proper electric MTBs?

    Chinese Manufacturer Kocass Ebikes Can Do OEM 10pcs

    Welcome to the forum Kada. I have to tell you that the forum rules prohibit trades enrolling as ordinary members and promoting their business here. I think we should make an exception here, for Kada is not your average Chinese rep. He has a lot to offer if you let him join us. He is young...

    4 years is a long time. Whether JC will be there to fight it or not, more people would want a change of government.

    I can't see JC toeing US foreign policy if he wins. As for paying into the EU budget, it's good VFM.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we would only obey the rules if we remain in the single market and those that are will be restricted to the operations of the single market, none of them relate to the future EU army or finance ministry or foreign affairs ministry. That suits me better than the US of E.

    First build spec

    you need a combination of speed and power. These Q100 (120mm motor) and Q128 (140mm motor) will suit some strong pedalers but are really optimised for 20mph on average. If you select a high RPM, the low speed torque will greatly suffer. The next step up is BBS01 for 22mph, BBS02 for 25mph BBSHD...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Success means different things to different people. If you only concentrate on economic matters, a soft brexit is going to be successful because it will disentangle our relationship with Europe, a plus in the long run.

    most geared hub kits have noload speed about 24mph, they are suitable for maintaining 20mph on the road. You'd need a crank drive kit to go over 20mph average.

    no, the direct drive hub feels like riding with two bricks attached to the back wheel.
