have you looked at the Greenway? They still sell the cross with Bafang Max Drive for £1,000 on their website. It's easy enough to upgrade the tyres to Marathon Plus tour. It will do easily 25 miles on a single charge, more if you upgrade the battery.

I usually do. My post was in reply to oldtom's conclusion: With hindsight, I should have perhaps included the above quote. This thread started with remainers holding what you may say a factual high ground if such a thing exists. Now remainers tend to wander off into side issues and indulge in...

Then I wish staff would form their own cooperative to buy bikes and run C2W themselves. The cooperative will need a credit license to operate. Members pay in 50% of the price that their bikes will cost. The cooperative then buys the bikes and re-imburse the employees each month as they receive...

would you post some pictures of the donor bike? A kit suitable for pulling heavy load is usually based on a strong motor, BPM or BBS02. A strong motor needs a strong frame and good brakes.

I agree about the 2% marginal NI for the employee. I don't think you have to charge VAT on rentals. It's certainly not on the guidance notice. http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101124142120/http:/www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/sustainable/cycling/cycletoworkguidance/pdf/518054/ At the bottom of...

robdon disliked my last post and liked flecc's last post. Would robdon care to explain why?

If you run a business, you can run your own C2W scheme. Let's buy a Big Bear for £1,000 You recover the VAT: £1000 * 20/120 = £166.67 The bike costs you £833.33 You have to get £833.33 back from salary sacrifice. Your best employee whom you give the Big Bear to is on 40% rate rate, he will get...

sometimes water and dirt can get in, create a fair amount of sludge. The sludge can clog up the pawls.

oldtom, what do you think the Windsors have done to influence brexit one way or the other? If they haven't, then taking a dig at them is uncalled for.

Some schemes allow the users to pay the 10% admin fees directly to us, some allows us to add the 10% to the basic price and some (eg cyclescheme) insists that the quoted price is the lowest as advertised. Our prices are already low, we can't absorb their fees so after years of trying to talk to...

this is the freewheel (clutch) - it's difficult to get to, but not impossible. As you can see, it's a robust mechanism but it can sometimes get jammed.

after you open the gearbox, you can generally feel the cogs and even the rotor's cogging when turning the cranks slowly.

how about mentally subtract 3% to account for 1.5" tyres? Treat 10.3 miles on the LCD as 10 miles when on 1.5" tyres.

my third theory is he is blowing compressed air on the spokes. The jet goes through the groove in the middle of the rim, hits the small rectangular sails that are welded to the spokes. The steel ball is for misdirection.

you can connect the bluetooth adapter but I don't know what you can do with it beside replicating what you see on the LCD. It does not do data logging.

both Big Bear LS and Santana CD can take your weight but I would say Big Bear LS is better for you. More relax, just pedal, no need to change gear. The LS motor is also more robust and very well proven. The motor on the Santana CD is suitable for up to 15st.

we all know that perpetual motion does not exist unless you could somehow connect this universe to another in a different dimension. the acceleration of the wheel is too fast to make the idea that the ball moves the wheel using only its potential energy believable. My second theory is that there...

I have clutches for the GSM, not BBSes.

I think your clutch bearing may need replacing. It's not a difficult job, a local garage may fix it for you.

tisme, in the first minute and 20 seconds, there is no trick. The ball is held up by the magnet. If you were the ball, you will feel weightless, meaning the forces exerting on the ball cancel each other. The ball cannot make the wheel move any more than you can without touching the wheel. To...
