I have a Kudos secret, it has 20inch wheels, I bought a bag for it. I've taken it on a london bus. I put it in the section for prams and that was fine, I've taken it on the national express coach no probably there. I've taken it on the train, there that was a probably because there wasn't much...

Marathon plus being so difficult to put on puts me off buying them, some reviewers have suggested marathon supreme.

A dlock but honestly it's best not to leave it out in public at all, bike thieves are robbing parts of the bike if they can't take the whole bike. They are rampant and will take any not locked down.

Take a look on ebay, I managed to get a 2nd hand kudos secret for £120 normally priced 800, the steering and the brakes were dodgy, that's all. I saw one going for £200 last week the seller had no battery keys though.

I was going to get my bike fixed at Halfords last week, then I read a ton of bad comments about them in a FB group and decided not to. A lot of similar stories to yours.

Making it look second hand is not a deterrent neither is the dlock really they still nick parts off it. Happened to me twice with a crap 30 quid mountain bike and a 200 quid one, where they stole the forks and the handlebars and the disc brakes.

I just came across this vid, it's exactly as vfr400 described. It might be of help to anyone going through the same problems.

I wouldn't mind bringing the bike down to Southend once I get it, how much do you charge to fit a kit?

With something like that I'd have to pay over a grand all at once, which I can't do any time soon. If I get a donor I can ride that around for a while until I'm ready to convert. Plus a converted donor just feels more individualis tic and personal.

I need some advice on which Woosh kit to buy and a donor bike to suit it. I would use the bikes for longer trips, e.g Central London to Windsor, South Downs. I can spend upto 300 or 400 on the donor bike. I want a mountain bike with disc brakes, should they be hydraulic or mechanical?I'd like...

But like I said he used an old chain lock, there will always be opportunists around no matter where you go. To good locks would have made it a lot harder to steal.

During the day London is fine, it's the night time is when they come out.

He just used a old chain lock though, use two quality dlocks then it becomes a lot harder to steal.

Worse than that, even if it doesn't look nice it can still get stolen. I locked up a old trek bike outside my house, it had a ruined cassette, no chain, torn up seat and I already removed the break blocks that day. I locked the wheels but forgot to lock the frame. Next morning frame was gone...

Thanks guys, I'll get the parts from ebay and get my local non electric bike shop to fix it, hopefully they will do it.

OK. ..things didn't work out, attaching some pics. I'm thinking is it possible that the screw has broken without me realising.

Well I'm guessing its gone down because the screw no longer seems long enough, I think I would be able to fix it easily if it wasn't for that. I should be able to fix it with the very same screw.

I think you have the wrong thread, my friend.

Any idea of how I could do my own repair? Knowledge is power and all that. What seems to have happened is the forks have gone down. The headset screw with attaches to the forks can't reach the forks with the little disk attached, thus the handlebars can't be attached.

I managed to get the secret second hand for a very good price. It had a few things wrong with it, namely the brakes and some wonky handlebars that I managed to fix. The secret was a lot a chunkier than I expected, even though I bought it with a view to taking it with me on my travels abroad, I...
