Been neglecting the 806se since I got a new bike. Ran OK before in that freeze we had, put it away (without rinsing it off, so chain rusted) got chain freed up but seized again & needs replacement. Turned on OK and wheel spun about a month ago, now no-go. Tried holding display power button in...

Are these Iron Nitride magnets really better, or is it hype? The tech was supposedly discovered in the 50's. If so, it's taken a lo-ong time to develop! NIRON company from 2015-ish Murray-Smith "30% less magnet required, 10-15% less weight, or up to 3 times the power for same cost per kilo"...

https://www.designboom.com/design/whattfornow-electric-bike-twin-transmission-torque-02-20-2021/ This could be more useful as a mid drive conversion kit, rather than a 'new' bike, or am I missing something? Mid motor powers a jumbo belt wheel, apparently mounting under the brake disc, big...

Didn't find iMiro with a search & apologies if it's been posted already. :) 'Sivrac' bike is a little x-scissor folder and seems simpler than the Xtracycle/Mobiky/SMLRO's. Has a couple of interesting features. They've let the x-fold come to rest down on a spring to give it basic suspension...

"The scooters are also equipped with nano-septic handlebar wraps, that the company said reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission by 99.98%." Is this even a thing? I know silver is anti-bacterial but...

Grant Shapps to the rescue. Eh? £2bn for bike commuting. Parisians queueing out the doors of secondhand bike shops for 2wheel transport. Rome gets 150km of bike lanes now. Ireland Dublin City Council has moved to install more segregated cycle lanes, as the Covid19 lock-down period continues...

Display lcd characters disappeared for a while after bike parked in rain a few times. Water seems to get in somewhere, maybe between buttons & surround where light shows or seam around the fascia. Still works, just press on, press again for light on, press + button n times for level and go...

Don't know what to make of this. Sounds like a smart switch mode power supply in reverse, where many individual batteries are pwm switched into higher dc voltage combinations as required to dc-dc convert it up? Claims to be simple but would've thought this means 1 power fets, etc, per cell and...

Hi, was wondering if 806 has an alternative handlebars & stem as Wisper site pics show black bike has catch on other side. Some sites show it folded with bars in between frame, which is more compact? Cheers. Mikel

Hello, I am enquiring for a friend who bought an 806SE but has not been able to get much use out of it as it won't recharge from its charger. When battery is discharged it won't recharge. I have read the manual and connected battery and charger as per but the charger light stays on green, and...

https://qz.com/227264/meet-the-future-of-the-public-transport-electric-cycles-with-onboard-tablets/ Tidy enough looking bikes but being electric with satnav are the best selling points. Handlebars well shaped to protect the tablet, manufacturers on forum could take note. Cheers Mikel

I wonder if this throttle would fit a Woosh Gale? It has 3 pin higo/julet connector, but don't know if pinouts are the same. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H97YLX9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_jGxxCbTSSJGKK I've read ones like this can take in water, which wouldn't help in my rainy location:confused...

Have any of the bike providers on this site got any real child/cargo carrying bikes or bike adaptions pls? Did a search but nothing more recent than 2015 came up, and seemed to draw a blank. Do providers think of fitting a seat with the std 40mm clamp when they spec these flared tubes? Could the...

http://ebiketips.road.cc/content/news/podbike-electric-four-wheeler-coming-to-the-streets-in-late-2018-1415 Dont know if this €4500 quadracycle should go here but it'd keep one out of the weather anyways..:D Cheers Mikel

Ok, deep breath. I have 2x Raleigh DL-1's from 1946-1954 period and have a hankering to put an electric conversion on one of them. Trouble is they are an odd size, 635-22 westwood wheels, 110mm horizontal rear Over locknut dimension OLD, 90mm front. The LBS can't true the rear wheel because the...

Here are a few points on the Woosh Gale running gear. Wheels: Black paint flakes off when bike run on salty winter roads. Hard alloy anodising may be more durable. Motor: Silver paint flakes off and the cast alloy corrodes into white powder when exposed to salty winter roads. Suggest hard...

Pic shows how handlebars scuff frame when folded down on Gale. Suggest a rubber buffer is glued on frame to avoid damage to paint.

My Woosh Gale has developed a couple of issues over this year. The power suddenly cuts out at a random 1, 2 or 3 times per days use. Display shuts off too, though bike re-starts if I keep pedaling and switch the display back on. Lately, after a re-start there is another momentary cut in power...
