tacx from UK

[shotojs78]

hi, I live in Canada, I want to buy a tacx flow in UK, from pro bike kit, chain reaction or merlin cycle, do I need an adaptor for power supply?

All I can tell you is that the modern things we have like cell phones and notebooks dont care what voltage their adapters get (within reason), when we go to Europe. You just need a plug that fits the holes.

So you could probably strip the UK plug and connect a US one and be fine.

I'd talk to TACX. There's a big difference in a power supply for small electronics that can be multi-voltage, and a motor. There are multi-voltage motors, but they're usually a bit pricier than specific voltage motors. There's a good chance the motor in the Flow is voltage specific which would mean you'd need 220/240v for a UK version. Have you looked in the manual to see if it has a voltage switch or reference to being able to rewire internally?

It's not a motor - it uses a magnetic brake. Which plugs in to the house power and is voltage specific.

So, OP might be out of luck.
