Hi Haku, Like your idea using Led's. I should include a fuse in one of the lines though as they can go short circuit, specially when driven hard! Another point worth knowing... The "Pound Shop" sell LED camping lights_ 24 very very bright led's in a circular plastic housing. All you need do is...

Thanks for all your replies. Most of the journey takes me along busy country lanes and drivers take short cuts to avoid hold ups at peak times. So footpaths are not an option. I can take an alternative route though for part of my journey using a dissused railway line, it's a fantastic nature...

Hi all, After nearly seven weeks of convalescing following my E-bike accident. I'm looking for a left side rear brake handle bar lever and brake light switch. The lever has a chrome rear view mirror & arm assembly attached to it, which also has been completely smashed. The mirrors supporting arm...

Hi, Footie. I agree with your comments... the biggest problem with any electric powered form of transport is the power source & power to weight ratio. And the eventual cost of replacing the power pack. No doubt battery technology will steadily improve as time goes on and will only be successful...

Thanks John, will give it a try.

Thanks Richard, I'll try the Halfords liners for 24" wheels and fit those then. Thanks for your help merv

Hi all, I've had to revert back to my trusty mountain bike temporarily until I can repair a rear puncture in my ebike (CE Deluxe). Due to past experiences with thorns from local hedgerows penetrating bike tyres I purchased tyre slime liners from Halfords for my mountain bike. Now either I've...

Cheers Tony, I thought I could sit back and let the motor do all the work for a change. This morning I managed 3 miles into my journey to work when a familiar repetitive bumping noise comming from the rear alerted me to the fact that the rear tyre was infact deflating fast. Without a puncture...

Hi all, I wonder how many others of advancing years are enjoying electric bikes!! I have only had mine a few weeks having purchased it second hand and really enjoying the benefits. I try not to use my car unless the weather is extremely bad, prefering to cycle the journey to work and back...

Cheers Flecc, I'll give it a try when I get chance__ Thanks again for your Help Merv
