    Crank Drive Motor Clunking Noise

    Hello Andy, I agree with d8veh's statement 'All motors have close to zero efficiency at zero speed'. However, you should consider the advantage of CD motors in extending their climbing ability. The following image shows the power profile for the Woosh Big Bear (Bafang BPM motor, 36V 20A...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Andy Burnham's comment should be seen in the context of state aids within the Single Market, regarding re-industrialization of Lancashire/Manchester. There are a lot of assumptions there. It is important to understand the EU framework to arrive at a properly reasoned view. The EU Single Market...

    Crank Drive Motor Clunking Noise

    the CD kit in your video is so crude that it is not a representative of CD motors. Most CD motors are extremely quiet, you can't hear them when riding even on quiet lanes. this is a video of the Woosh Sirocco CD (2013): this is a video of the Woosh Krieger (2015)

    Another motor ID query

    yes, I think you can. Shengyi supply their motors with a breakout cable to connect to standard brushless controllers. The breakout cable is important, without it, you will have to guess which wire goes where. Post a picture of the breakout cable if you have it. Here is one from Pandaebikes for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is talk about 'fantastic opportunities' after brexit but except a few rare cited examples like cane sugar for Tate & Lyle or chocolate beans from the Ivory Coast, I fail to see what new opportunities that we have not looked at before. One subject that is little talked about is our renewed...

    Dealing with water and cables

    Internal routing of cables is usually done on factory built bikes. Very few normal bikes allow internal routing of cables through the frame, when they do, the hole is usually not large enough to take on extra cables. You need an entry (and also exit) of at least 10mm x 18mm. This picture is...

    Dealing with water and cables

    that is something you get with factory bikes. Most downtube batteries including the HL have a flat base and 3 mounting points, normal bikes usually have round tubes and two mounting points for the water bottle. When we do a conversion, we fit extra rivnuts but they are never as strong as the...

    Dealing with water and cables

    this picture shows how neat the wiring of a HL battery and controller is. The exit point is sheltered by the battery and frame. The case is also very well sealed. This picture is taken of a Woosh Bermuda.

    Dealing with water and cables

    in the first picture, the channel needs to be filled with grease and sealed with a waterproof cap. In the third picture, the cable is usually sleeved and heat shrunk. The newer HL casing don't have this problem.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the MEP election system is based on party-list proportional representation. Voters select the party, not the MEPs, therein lies the problem, nobody knows who their MEPs are. They are also encouraged by protest parties to use their vote to punish the government of the day.

    that is generally the case. However, it could be argued that a brand new converted bike would never look as logical and tidy as a Woosh bike!

    Batteries too expensive!!

    most batteries behind seat post are made with soft pouch cells. When you come to get a new battery, choose 18650 cells, they are lighterweight. Batteries made with 18650 cells are usually 40- or 50-cell packs, 40-cell packs weigh 2kg, 50-cell packs s 2.5kgs for the cells, plus casing. 18650...

    the Pound seems to recover at the moment, let's keep fingers crossed. We had to pay for a lot of stock last month before Richmond Park when the Pound was at 1.22-1.23.
