If I understand stevieb correctly, he would feel vulnerable that his dealer would not be capable of repairing his motor, should something like this happen again after the bike is out of warranty. This is of course unproven fear, but if his dealer wasn't trained to fix this sort of problems...

The arrangement of the hinge bolts is that the fixing is internally threaded on one side, so they tighten to each other but don’t clamp the frame tightly as such. The slack is taken up with a nylon washer. A similar type of bolt arrangement is pictured below.: If you can email Andy a picture...

an academic study last November found the link between brexit vote and increases in Chinese imports over the last 3-4 decades. Apparently, Chinese imports destroyed manufacturing jobs. The effect on towns that are blighted by globalisation is actually higher than EU immigration...

I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but in case that remark was pointed at my last post, let me say this: I do like the Gocycle bikes and my best wishes to their continued success. There is a point I would like to make that is not in its favour though, and it relates to a thread by d8veh...

stevieb, I would hazard a guess that in your case, the controller inside your motor was the source of the problem. If this is the case, a replacement controller is needed, and because they are fairly inexpensive, nobody repairs controllers anymore . On the kind of bikes I sell, it would not...

then there is no point claiming that the bike can go faster. I bet you can design a better bike for the same money.

I watched Michael Gove on Marr's show yesterday. He is a danger to this country. I wish some politician would go on TV to explain to the hard brexiters that in case of no deal brexit, we still have to pay more or less the same divorce bill and get nothing in return.

it's a very good idea, in a way, that's what the guarantee is when you first bought your bike. Continued insurance is difficult to work in practice. The admin overhead takes most of the premium, you are left with £5 a month budget for maintaining the bike. Also, some people take good care of...

if you buy from UK distribution, whether online or in the shops, you are protected by the same consumer laws and therefore should not accept a poor service. I

Hi Paul, Many customers don't worry too much about paying more than £100 an hour for a technician to work on their cars. How much do you think it's fair to pay for an hour to an e-bike technician to sort out problems on your bike? Taking into account that most electrical problems are caused...

most problems with e-bikes involving the electrics can be diagnosed in a few minutes with a multitester. That may explain why e-bike shops don't make much noises about it. The problem as I see it is that ebikes are relatively expensive to repair compared to normal bikes.

Quote from Mr Varoufakis: Britain should apply for a five-year transitional arrangement to remain with the European Economic Area under “a Norway-style agreement” at the end of the three-year Brexit negotiations. That will give everyone a sigh of relief and an opportunity primarily for the...

Jim can probably cut down an allen key for you. It won't take him long.

hello Topographer, You may need longer allen keys. From memory, you only need one 5mm allen key, one side is locked to the frame. would you contact support@wooshbikes.co.uk , Andy should be able to help.

it has to be a hard border after the transition period or a re-unified Ireland. Or JC becomes the new PM.

judging by their press conference today, it seems that our government and DD is playing chicken with the EU on the subject of divorce money. Someone is going to lose their job soon enough and that is not going to be Mr Barnier. Would it be TM or DD?

it is possible to do this in Southend but very fiddly to do this at home. You need to change the gear shifter cable, then run a cable from the sensor to the second brake sensor input inside the controller box.

Hello SM44, London is only 1 hour train ride to Southend, come to test a few bikes and spend an afternoon at the beach. I would suggest you test ride the Zephyr 2017 before starting on the conversion. The Zephyr 2017 is perfect for your distance, comes with hidden battery, about 35-40 miles...

interesting read: the neuroscience of no regret. https://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2017/nov/09/the-neuroscience-of-no-regrets-why-people-still-support-brexit-and-trump I wonder how often your guts feeling lets you down on important decisions?

I didn't have much time. The container arrived a couple of days before I flew out.
