I get cold hands cycling in winter and will probably be wearing gloves by early October unless it is very warm. I've got 2 pairs that I wear in winter - a silk thin pair and a thicker outer pair - they usually do OK for me. Last winter, getting the bus, I was colder than any day cycling the...

I'm sure you'll love it Moorlie - I've only had my bike a few weeks and it's a great way to get to work. I used to cycle to work on a normal bike and didn't particularly enjoy it. It's not hilly where I live, but because it's flat it gets very windy and it makes it hard work (I guess it's...

Thanks guys - maybe I'm being a bit too precious about the bike in general (I haven't had it very long). I'm worried I'll do something stupid like drop the bag it's in when I'm faffing around locking the bike up. When I got back to it after work the other day, a bird had cr@pped on the...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this but couldn't find an accessory area. Does anyone know of a place where you can get some kind of carry bag for your battery? What I'm after is something that will protect it and at the same time be able to put over a shoulder to carry around. When I...

OK thanks, will do

it's the 705se.

I'm not sure if my bike is 'behaving' as it should (or maybe it's me not understanding it!!!). Sometimes if I've got assist set at 3 or 4, it will be on no assist for a while because I'm on a fairly flat bit of road (which is what I'd expect) and then it suddenly jumps up to the top (full...

Thanks to all - I think I will start bringing it in - it's no big deal to do this for me and you're right, it's worth a lot of ££s - probably about half the cost of my bike!

Thanks :-)

This is probably a daft question, but is it OK to leave your battery connected on your bike when you're not using it? I mean such as overnight when it's in a garage or a shed. I've only just got the bike and for the first part of the week brought it into the house for charging each night...

Hooray - my bike arrived on Monday. Sadly no instructions, but downloaded a manual! I had to put the pedals on, adjust the handlebars and the mudguard (which was rubbing a bit on the front wheel - sounded like a duck quacking as I rode up the road!) but that was it. Oh, and I did charge the...

I've been considering an ebike for a while but still unsure. The ones I like (in my price-range) are: Cyclotricity Sahara RooDog Chic Wisper 705se GreenEdge stepthrough Ebco UCL10 I tried an Ebco last week and it was quite nice (and have tried Smarta in the past), but the price of a new...

Hi all - I have just joined up - been lurking for a few weeks and checking out the reviews and things. I'm on the verge of taking the plunge and getting an electric bike. It's quite flat where I live but often windy (and I'm lazy!), so while a 10 mile round trip commute for some on a regular...
