I have ordered samples for evaluation but my gut instinct says don't go there - the numbers don't add up. Too strong competition methinks.

that's five niches. Are you sure you are not chasing after too many rabbits?

You know the saying: get big, get niche or get out. Woosh is certainly in the niche category. Big motor, big battery and low prices.

From my point of view, I am not too keen on promoting a torque sensor system while knowing it won't suit the majority of our customers. If you look at the possibility of matching Greenway £1,000 price, it's nil, unless you are fed up with e-bikes.

The point cyclebuddy made at the start of this diversion is simple: when the market grows in size, larger companies get interested. You know what large multinationals like Hero and Pon do. They kill small manufacturers and spawn a lot of service outlets to look after their customers. The IBDs...

Oh no, we are going to build the houses, bigly. We'll build bigly, folks, And we are going to get the EU to pay for it. We are going to slap 45% border tax on German cars and they gonna pay.

I reckon Paul Dacre has no use for him after A50 has been voted through.

Economy of scale. Even Japanese TV manufacturers lose out to South Koreans.

A question for you: how many bike shops you think there are in the UK having a similar turnover to yours? I usually last longer than most because I am cautious, my PC company was one of the first PC assemblers, is till here, still assembling PC after 36 years. I understand economics and am...

you can swap the motor for a geared hub BPM one. Check your motor cable, the replacement motor must haave the same lead.

yes, it's a big if. In my experience, they (the likes of TGWG) push forward on two fronts: via traditional international distributors and amazon/ebay. They are unstoppable because they know at the price they are selling, a lot of customers don't care about lack of telephone support and test...

yes, it could be it.

Time will tell, I spent years in the PC industry, have seen the small independent PC assemblers rose and fell. Only Viglen is left. My PC company although is still here, has vastly shrunk. The decline started in the naughties, we lost all the big customers one by one, first to Capita then to...

I don't think you can.

Neither is selling e-bikes. I believe it is much easier to master a few models than having to keep up with all the new development across the whole industry. Dany at BikeBase Southend sells electric bikes from Powacycle, Pedego, Raleigh, Haibike and Giant besides Wisper. I take my hat off to...

David, I did not compare the two bikes, having seen neither in the flesh. I said the Chinese bike follows the same idea, there is no need to go further.

When you move the crank arms forward, you engage the one way clutch. The forward drag on the BBS01/BBS02 is very little, you should feel about 50g-100g of force on your fingers, much less compared to pushing backward a bike with a geared hub motor. Moving the cranks backward has no drag.

I think it's 0%. At least on the electronics and batteries.

I have no idea. Could they use hacked email and bank accounts to open bogus paypal accounts?

I like equally the CD bikes - but keep the thumb throttle. The thumb throttle is very useful on hills, one naturally flicks between thumb throttle and gear shifter.
