I mostly agree, but croxden's bike has been looked after by professionals, not the case for many cheaper bikes and also, not derestricted. Even so, a few things got seen too in the last few years. I don't think my bikes require as much spent on them in maintenance though. Does it make my bikes...

That is a good idea but a bit too expensive. I would be prepared to sell you either a Karoo or a Rio MTB on a special sale or return for 6 months, if you keep a thread on pedelecs about how the bike goes. After 6 months (or when the bike breaks, whichever the sooner), you send the bike back and...

AB, if my bikes broke down as often as yours does, I would be out of business long time ago at the price I sell them at. Each incident costs us about £60 in staff time and ancilliaries, we can't afford to sell unreliable bikes nor to people who tell us they like to derestrict their bikes. The...

ER, it is peak power output, comparable to a Bosch CX motor when climbing. 250W is enough for towing on flat roads at legal speed.

I think people see beyond this government that gave them brexit. The future after brexit is still unclear but the reasons to vote for it are clear and won't change for a long time, until the EU changes itself.

Andy Bluenoes, do you read this? the secret of a reliable and low cost transport is no derestriction. Sorry to veer off the main topic.

Malcolm, don't worry about towing and pedaling. Both those bikes have larger motors, they can pull 20 stoners. Even if you pedal hard, most people produce between 100W and 200W while those motors can deliver 500W to 600W at peak. Both have throttles. You need big motors and strong controllers to...

erm.. does your bike have a defeat device?

You can't trust polls but when the numbers are big then there must be an element of truth. People have now more facts about brexit than before, a referendum now would be more accurate. However, whichever side another referendum will fall, the margin between leave and remain is still not clear cut.

Wicky, how many miles have you clocked up if you don't mind?

This recent poll suggests a converging movement between leave and remain, but if a referendum were to be called today, the result would be the same...

Hello Malcolm, I would recommend you look at the Woosh Big Bear LS if you weigh more than 16 stone, Woosh Santana2 if less. They are both suitable for your requirements. They are equipped with larger motors suitable for towing. We can supply the Santana2 with 15AH battery (both bikes share the...

thank you croxden.

I have a few models of Lishui controllers in stock, may even have an LSW1024-1. Can you post a picture of the controller's connectors?

we may have replaced a couple of freewheels in 3 years, they were on well used BBSes. As you said, it could well be a manufacturing defect. Can you claim on warranty? After checking, there was only one case and the damage is in the thread, not the pawls. When the customer pedals, the spline...

The pawl at 2 o'clock looks damaged from your picture. Can you confirm? Also, thanks for the info.

Paul Arnett did not mention any issue with the bottom bracket when he fitted the GSM kit.

Do you think he'll get more than £700 for his Stealth on Ebay? I reckon he'll get £500 for it, £700 depreciation. Plus spares and repairs. The lowest depreciation I have seen on my second hand web page is Roybut's Karoo, bought £749, recently sold £400, 1600 miles, £349 depreciation, 22p a mile...

Andy's case is particularly interesting. He's done 2,100 miles on the current Stealth in the last 6 months. That is more miles than most people do in 2 years. His problems with the electrics could well be attributed to a combination of high power, rough road surfaces and rain, a combination of...

yes Mike. Paul Arnett did that with a GSM CD kit.
