    looking for somebody to build me a bike

    I think torque-wise, the differences between bikes on test would not be significant. In-frame batteries seem the way to go for boat owners.

    Good morning Todd, If it's only the width of the handlebars, how about replacing the handlebars with a folding bar? or a flipbar stem:

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suppose it should come through as common sense to get out of a burning boat that is the Euro. I personally do not think that the Euro is going to fail anytime soon, although there are many who see things differently. http://fortune.com/2016/12/30/euro-outlook-2017/

    The best legal ebike kit

    Hello Andy, I put the menu button at the top left corner, circled in red on the picture. The pages have a high number of pictures, that may explain the slow loading time. Matter of interest, which phone do you use? I'll try to fix it in the next few days. Sorry to be off topic. Tony

    Thank you BE. The battery is 11.6AH, weighing about 1.7kgs, not huge but enough capacity for most days-out. I'd like to think of the Zephyr as a fun, go anywhere full-sus bike that just happens to be foldable.

    looking for somebody to build me a bike

    Todd has a Woosh Zephyr-B 2015. The in-frame battery is 10AH. The motor is a rear BPM and controller is 20A. It wasn't possible to increase the battery capacity until now. The new Zephyr-B has 11.6AH battery but because we move the charging port from the underside of the frame to the left side...

    The best legal ebike kit

    Hello Man, The GSM motor without internal controller does not heat up any faster than the Bafang BBS01 and BBS02. We know it very well, we use it on our Bali bike, in this case, with a Lishui 18A HL controller. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bali

    Hello all. Question re buying a new ebike.

    Hi Tugwell, You would be more than welcome to come along to Southend and try several bikes. The Bali seems like a good choice, but there are also a few others (Bermuda, Zephyr B, the Big Bear and yes, the new fat bike. Give it a quick go even if it is unlikely). We are back open at 10 this...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    zlatan, the tories are usually associated with big political donors, honour list selling etc - basically what Trump calls the swamp. Brexit is unlikely to be a success if negotiated by the tories alone.

    Elevation based cycle route planner?

    Apps are dinosaurs. Javascript is the way to go. The Woosh Predictor is written in non-obfuscated Javascript.

    0-15mph acceleration of 250W electric bicycle?

    that honour should go to the Woosh Big Bear. The only one in the Woosh range that still has a square wave 20A controller. I calculated that the theoretical time to take the Bear to 15mph on throttle alone should be 5.9 seconds. I can't test it at the moment but will try after the holidays.

    Thank you Beach. The red bits are where the gradient is 8% and above.

    Elevation based cycle route planner?

    case does not matter. I enter BRIDPORT or DT6 3AA for example, then click GO. You can enter both locations, A and B before clicking GO.

    Woosh have a tool that may do what you want, if you use it on a desktop or a large tablet, you won't be able to drag the route well on a small smartphone. We call it the predictor. You enter your home location, Bridgport in your example, or your postcode. Click Go. The tool will draw an area...

    0-15mph acceleration of 250W electric bicycle?

    if you do that, you should also take into account air resistance, worth about 100W to 110W at 15mph.

    0-15mph acceleration of 250W electric bicycle?

    In the first second, the bike is constrained by the maximum torque that can be achieved by the bike's specific motor at very low speed. The power that the system produces can be deduced from P = F * V. F is equal to torque divided by the wheel radius. P will rise with V until P becomes limited...
