JC is a journalist / entertainer. He says things for fun most of the time and has always had a brilliant way with words - sort of sarcastic mass exaggeration and big tongue in cheek rolled into one. I think he is brilliant and should not always be taken seriously. We all pay for everything it's...

Big problem is the Police and authorities are so obsessed with speed that bad driving goes unchecked. You can drive like a complete Tw*t but as long as you go through the speed camera at 29mph you are fine :rolleyes: Back when I was younger there were police cars sat in places here and there...

A Ural now theres a strange choice of bike, not many about now.

Yes currently riding a CB900 with a few modifications on the look out for a Supermoto - KTM 690 SM? :D

That's a motorbike rider :D I remember riding through a bad winter in about 1984/5 with Black bin liners over my feet/boots etc to stop me getting so wet on my Suzuki GP100 on the way to my girlfriends :)

Yes when it's such a massive price difference as that youre right. We get it over maybe 5% or 10% maximum difference sometimes. :) The smaller companies have lower overheads. Big stores open all hours with massive multi-million pound TV advert campaigns cost a lot of money and that has to...

Sorry Blackpanther but this is my pet hate :( I am a retailer and we get people in asking lot's of questions/advice/technical help and ideas - some people can come in for hours at a time 4 or 5 times borrowing samples then it all comes down to price and they shop around and buy at the...

Wow that Moulton bike is awesome - love the design of it.

Specialized MTB, Trek MTB, Cube, BeOne just get a front suspension only not rear. Then get a front hub motor kit from Alien, Sunlova etc etc etc You can have a nice bike with electrics for less that £2000

Get a motorbike or scooter. That way you get a bit of the freedom feeling and don't get too stuck in traffic. Cycling that far over a proportion of uneven terrain is going to make your working day long, hard and sweaty. I have been cycling to work - just 3 and a half miles each way (don't...

Thanks for that :)

Hi I have a e-bike kit. It has a 36V 9Ah battery (Li-ion) and a controller and motor etc. If I bought a 36V 15Ah Li-Po4 battery is my controller (in theory) going to be compatible ? Is it a voltage thing with controllers? As in you can have a 20 Ah battery as long as it's still 36V it will...

That's probably it then maybe? You have just been maxing it out. I could use mine a lot more and if I did so my mileage would come down. I don't have lights running from my battery either. Your motor is a 350w I assume not a 250w.

I would say that seems low surely unless you have been using that battery power a lot - like all of the time? I have a 36V 9Ah battery with an 8Fun hub motor on my self build e-bike and I have been getting 25 miles and still had juice left, I reckon had a third left. Been charging the battery...

Good link to lights there Tillson :) When you say ages is it a couple of weeks ages or longer than that? :D
