    Yep 3 hours is too much. I justified it for a while as it is not much longer than my overall commute if I take the train. But I'm thinking that I'd rather do the commute say 2-3 days a week on my road bike and then the train the other days. In terms of keeping it for enjoyment I get more...

    Well after 4 months of doing the commute the nights are cutting in and I'm going to go back to my brompton and do the train. I don't think I'm going to continue next yeah for a couple reasons: I'm getting bored of the long cycle each day so do not want to do it everyday anymore. If I'm just...

    Just a quick update. I went for the haibike in the end. I preferred the ride on this compared to the kalkhoff. The first bike I look the suspension failed to hold pressure so swapped bike for another. The second one a car collided with on first commute breaking the front wheel! Quite...

    Hi frank, I'm in Hertfordshire. I've just taken a look round your site. The bikes look interesting. Do you do any with hybrid wheels, or are the mountain bike wheels preferable for ebikes?

    That is interesting. I have been leaning towards crank as they seemed to edge popularity. I will take a look a closer look at the hub motors.

    Hi, I am looking for an ebike for my daily commute, I feel like I have read pretty much every thread (twice) so thought it was probably time to say hello and ask for input. My commute is 21 miles each way. I can recharge the battery at work if necessary. I'm happy to pay the money for the...
