if they were the same design in 2005, then who started manufacturing first? you or the factory that made the e-cruiser for the Canadian company?

Yes. It's called the 03ZA frame, most Chinese factories can make them if you ask. We use the 03ZA frame since 2012 on the Woosh Sirocco2. It was originally painted with two layers, since 2013, 3 layers.

Andy, only small changes, new better forged alloy crankset and lighter, more free-running pedals, thumb throttle, soft leather grips.

a little more googling, I come across some old e-bikes with similar styling (convex toptube and convex downtube): circa 2005: from Canada, the e-cruiser even earlier than the e-cruiser, from Japan, the Giant Lite: Nothing is really new under the sun. .

David, after 5 minute search on google, I found this old e-bike from the City of Toronto that has a very similar frame as the Big Bear's: this is the Woosh Sirocco 2 in 2012, that uses the same frame as the Big Bear (2013): that is to confirm my point that we use a generic frame. Note the...

David, I really don't know where you want to go with this, but as far as we are concerned, the copyright and tooling of the frame of the Big Bear belong to the frame factory. They are of course willing to make modifications for their customers on request, as they have done so for us on numerous...

That's just silly. Of course it's a generic frame, quite popular on e-bikes. We've discussed it many years ago. You may have modified it a little, put your label on it and claim it's yours. I do same, except I wouldn't claim it's ours.

polls are polls, everybody takes them with a pinch a salt. However, the underlying science is solid when you look at changes in the results compared to the last time the same questions were asked of the same people. Brexit opens up new fractures in UK politics without questioning the system that...

It's not your frame, David. let's not start that old chestnut again.

it probably would - he can even get himself a NuVinci hubgear with budget to spare. Andy88 won't be back to the UK before Feb, too late for this one, it has to go to make room for Christmas pressies I guess.

One of our customers in Maidstone, Kent, has decided to sell his Big Bear. This one is exceptional, not only it is the new 2017 model with soft grips and thumb throttle, it's not even on the website yet. It has also got a very comfortable gel saddle and NCX seat post. At this price, you'd better...

Perseus, are you sure that the motor is kaputt? they are tougher than they look, those geared hub motors.

Perseus, you are right to ask questions about warranty. The life expectancy of a motor depends on the weight of the rider, the terrain, the mileage and more importantly, where it's kept and the amount of TLC it gets from the owner. Assuming your bike is used in ideal conditions, and that you...

I feel for the French electorate. They will likely have to choose between Fillon, Le Pen or Valls. all defective choices.

Two things she won't be able to dodge, the first is the exit bill, estimated at about 50 billion Euros and the second, everyone will claim that it's a bad deal.

d8veh makes a lot of sense. Most of the time, geared hubs do the job equally well and invariably offer better value for money.

We only sell a small range of kits because support for small number of units would be a nightmare to organize. So if you want to investigate this route, I can only make general comments, you will have to get the parts on the internet. Also, splicing the power line of your brand new Bosch bike...

Still same comment. You can add a small, lightweight rear hub motor like the one on the Woosh Karoo, and run it on throttle alone, then you may steal power from the Bosch battery to power the rear hub motor. It's lightweight and easy to do.

The effective speed and acceleration range of the BBS02 is so wide (3mph to 30mph) that you won't improve the bike by adding a BPM (4mph-22mph) to a BBS02.
