Thank you everyone for the helpful replies. I'll take a closer look at the bike to double check that a 7 speed freewheel is indeed what I need and go ahead with ordering one.

Does anyone have experience with 11-32 7 speed screw on freewheels? Or any 11/12 little, 32/34 big? We are considering one for our new second hand electric Ecosmo tandem. The high gear is very low, and it would be helpful to have an emergency low gear. Examples are: DRIFT MANIAC (apparently...

More details would help. Make, model and year of bike. Any identifying marks on the controller. Any identifying marks on the battery. Any identifying marks on the motor.

I think the most important part of Woosh's quote is the last four words: 'in the coming centuries'

Post a picture and someone might recognize it. Check if you can find a serial number (often under the bottom bracket). Given that you may be able to find out with an internet search or AI query.

Misread that (must be my age) as whether it makes you too tired or whether it actually increases your age.

Thank you for the suggestion. I wouldn't even cut it down, just leave more insert room. Double shim seems a shame, and I'm not sure how much weaker a 22.2 diameter tube would be than a 28.6? (obviously depends on the particular tube) I think I've located a second hand one I'll probably go for...

Does anyone know where I can source to have a 450mm 28.6mm steel seat post? Baz??? For the front of an Ecosmo tandem; the standard one isn't long enough for me (even though I'm only 31" inside leg) I've got an aluminium one but I'm not sure I trust it, especially with the stoker's handlebar...

There are almost certainly different displays on different Greenedgebike models. I suggest you post a photo of the display. Also see if you can find a model number on the display.

Thanks, I'd tried a couple of AI searches that didn't find those. Pretty much confirms what I'd guess, probably pretty basic but adequate (like the bike itself). If looks fairly generic, so (as saneagle often comments) upgradable for around £100 if necessary,

Can anyone identify this ebike display? It is on a few year old Ecosmo tandem we are considering buying. Looks pretty basic, but lower top tube than our current (also basic) Viking.

I've had them for a few years and they work fine. Called hydraulic brake sensors; I've actually got them on integrated gear/break shifters but the fitting would be the same. I've used electric sticky tape for the magnet and double sided sticky tape for the sensor so I could easily adjust them...

It could be the wheel out of true, and hitting the brake pads once every revolution. I wouldn't expect a clink from that; but could maybe be called that. Very easy to check. Spin the wheel and see if it has a wobble from side to side. If it does, it needs truing, or has a broken spoke. A bit...

I've always preferred the stand near the back ever since I got one; much more stable especially if the bike has heavily filled back panniers. Plus not interfering with the pedals as you say. I'd never realized about making it easy to lift the back wheel as well, though. Thanks for the tip...

The 400WH and 500WH are interchangable, as long as they are from the same generation and the same format (rack, downtube) I got the 500WH Merlin (rack) to replace the aging 400WH for our 2016 approx Motus and it worked with no problems.

If you get a battery recelled you are paying UK rates for a one-off job, and parts (cells) bought in relatively small quantities. If you buy a new battery you are paying Chinese rates for mass production with all the appropriate tools for that battery; and huge orders for the cells.

Merlin is a good place to look for a replacement. https://www.merlincycles.com/search?w=bosch%20battery Cheap (relatively), and for me at least fast and efficient. Recelling is a bit complicated as the BMS has to be kept alive during the process, which is why not many people offer it...

The terminology is confusing. Many people (including me when I first started looking at ebikes) quite reasonably thing the display is the controller, as it's what you use to control the electrics. However, it's not. What is called the controller does the work of feeding battery electricity...

Banned from driving for 12 months seems absurdly little; especially if it concurrent with his prison sentence.
