    250 watt is it a myth?

    the labelling is easy, you just ask the motor manufacturers - your 350W model, can I have it in 250W please? The governing is in the speedometer, controller and the LCD. The speedo will tell the controller that it's hitting the set speed limit so power must be cut. German controllers are usually...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Farage's attraction is he speaks the unspeakable. The downside for the tories for having Farage rejoining them is he'll make the conservative unelectable.

    poptop, the two folders are pretty similar in specs, except for the battery and the stem. The Freego has nicer stem, the Gale has bigger battery. The frame is practically the same. The difference in price pays the shop to look after you.

    Pete, that's an interesting comment. The bottom bracket torque sensor is an expensive piece of kit, he is obviously not keen to push it. Next time you pop in to his shop, could you ask him to expand his reason a bit more?

    The Gale costs only £749, Peter. You get a robust bike, a Bafang motor, a Lishui 15A controller and a 13Ah battery. The bike may be basic but still offers the comfort of a Suntour suspension fork, the painting is triple layer, metallic paint that will look good for years, the electronics is...

    I thought you may be interested to know what you get if you spend £150 extra on a bike? May be not much in a shop but you will get a surprising amount from Woosh. let me compare the two Woosh bikes, the £749 Woosh Gale and the £899 Woosh Karoo. The Karoo costs £150 more than the Gale. Both have...

    you are correct. In fact, the derailleur and shifter are usually less critical than the crankset, because you don't need to change gears much on a bike like the Gale with hub motor, you can leave the shifter on gear 6 or 7 on any terrain, the motor is powerful enough to climb any thing. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    leave campaigners are like Trump surrogates, making impossible promises, like having both access to the Single Market, bringing down immigration to the tens of thousands, tax cuts, no red tape etc, anything you want really. They only need a small percentage of voters to be uncritical, like Mr...

    Converting 27.5 to 26

    digiman, the OP has got a bottom bracket motor, not a hub motor.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that's how they spun the recent Natcen survey. 90% don't want hard brexit. Proper democracy I reckon. But will Theresa May implement the will of the people while the brexiteers hold her leash? or will she rely on the unelected lords to do the job for her?

    Another broken ebike

    yes, connect the new LCD first, if it works, problem over. If not, replace the trunk cable. In any case, you should be back on the road tomorrow.

    Another broken ebike

    that can be the cable but it's unlikely. You do need a matching LCD, so they are doing the right thing sending you both.

    thank you for your support, Mike. @poptop The silver Gale had 10Ah battery and costs £549 if I remember correctly. The new Gale paintted in gunmetal, blue grey colour, now has 13Ah, can reach easily 15mph because the battery can support higher current, costs £749. If you need a higher speed...

    David, just for the record, I have posted nearly 8,000 times, during that time, not once, I have made disparaging remarks about your products, or anyone else's for that matter.

    I did not use the word 'belting'. I use the word belittling, i.e. making disparaging remarks about a competitor, suggesting that a competitor's product is inferior to yours. Have you seen the woosh bikes recently? Frankly, I am more than a bit fed up to see comments that because woosh prices...
