It is, e.g cutoff brake levers and Bafang crank arms.

Just an update, tried to list some random e-bike components, brake levers, crank arms etc on fleebay and you are no longer allowed to do so as a private seller. I don’t necessarily think restrictions are a bad thing in general. BTW, used e-bike batteries are supposed to be totally prohibited...

Being a retiree on health grounds but unable to access a pension yet, beer tokens are always useful. None of my family would be interested in a bike, and all the friends I have who cycle are very much not e-bikers. Most of them are very serious about long distance cycling or mountain biking. I...

I agree about the suspicion part! I would also be suspicious if I were on the other end. Ideally it would be collection so someone could take it for a proper long test ride. I was hoping in the £400 mark for the whole bike but looking at the Woosh site it looks like prices are coming down from...

Photo didn’t attach 1st time… I have not put this in classifieds as at the moment I am thinking if it is worth trying to sell at all. My suspicion is that I won’t get much for the bike and may just keep as a spare / emergency bike…I guess the other option is to split the kit and sell bike and...

I’m considering selling my e-bike, not really sure of what is a sensible and fair price? It’s a Cannondale mtb conversion (ok, it’s a mtb lookalike, not a proper mountain bike but good for towpaths etc) with a Woosh 48v TSDZ2 kit with Woosh bag battery (in a waterpbox, and only then in a trunk...

Just thought I would pop by and see what’s going on here. Hope everyone is well? Not been using my e-bike at all so may offload it. I do have a new to me bike It’s a Bird AM160 with a mullet conversion. Been enjoying trying to learn to mountain bike. Difficult for an old dog to learn new...

Aesthetics are not really important, quite like the low rent look. The main reason a 3 or 4 thousand pound bike would not meet all my needs is that I need to leave my bike at various places. It is regularly left at caving huts (relatively safe), outside my local, still quite safe, in town at...

Msybe my calculations are off but a 201 rpm motor in a 700c wheel gives about 16mph. Obviously you can run the motor slower but I imagine efficiency falls off rapidly. I rarely need help on say a 12% hill but start to struggle over longer hills over 15% (and I live on such a hill which is 16%+...

Yes, I know I could put my TSDZ2 in a much lighter bike without the pointless suspension forks and silly motorbike tires but it would still be a frankenstein. The Q factor would still be terrible and the reliability questionable. I still think the TSDZ2 is the closest yet on the kit market...

I tend to see a flaming coming but here goes... I tend to use 2 bikes, an old but quite light analogue hybrid and a TSDZ2 tank like bike. Both work fine, the hybrid is nicer to ride and on gently undulating terrain is much more fun for me - and generally much faster on average than the tank as...

The mk I crapcycle was definitely a bit naff looking and very beat up. It actually worked quite well but was not in the slightest bit appealing for theft. The mk II looks a bit smarter but is still a bit frankenstein. It is hardly a lightweight. The Trek is actually really nice. Not a...

I've disassembled my faithful crapcycle and stolen parts for crapcycle mk II. I was going to do a rear hub conversion but would need a hefty, high torque motor and decided to just use my existing tsdz2 mid-drive to save some pennies. Still needs a bit of work but went for a test cycle...

I've found the Woosh style mudguards on Ali Express for Ali Express prices. The Veloflexx mudguards might not fit well with the stupid fat tires on the bike but don't want to spend much. The above clips and the cheapo mudguards will sort me out.

With the bazillions of different mudguard options, I’m struggling to understand why I can’t find something suitable. The bike has 650b wheels and currently 2.3 inch tires (although these might get swapped for something skinnier). Suntour suspension forks with no eyelets for mudguards. Eyelets...

Just an update. My son received his eBay bike and is happy with it. Looks like it was poorly set up. Apparently it mostly looks like new but rear rims worn - looks like previous owner cycled around with poorly adjusted brakes. I’ve not actually seen it yet but he is happy. I’ve got my Trek which...

I'm guessing you are about 60? I am only guessing that on the basis that at 60 then 160 is generally considered a sensible max heart rate (220. - age). For general exercise a target of 50 tp 70% of max and vigorous exercise as 70 to 85% of max. I suspect you already know that. As a non-medical...

Interesting discussion on TSDZ8: https://m.facebook.com/groups/141295902158544/ There is some dissatisfaction with the silence on spare part availability. Also, the problems with the initial buggy firmware and difficulty flashing.

I did have a ride analogue style on the donor bike. That was hard work, I'm getting soft with the motor on the crapcycle. The donor bike is a rather plump 13+ kg and fat knobly tyres without much air in them. Still not sure why I needed a bike with suspension forks? OK, that's the excuses, I was...

Agreed, I think it will be ok but need to watch the fillet where the hood joins the dropout. Otherwise the wheels liable to become detached at a disappointing and inconvenient time. The chamfered washer will give a bit more leeway for sure. Taking the wheel off without a socket will be a pita.
