    what next?

    Hi folks, I've been a bit quiet lately what with the little one arriving, but have still been churning up the miles on the bh xtreme. I've added a weeride to cart the little man around, and he loves it, but i'm starting to wonder if the bh is the bike i need to be on (and to be honest, i'm in...

    mando footloose

    Hi all, I found an old thread on this when they were first launched, but its an interesting chainless designed micro folder. At 3.5k its not cheap (heart failure central!) and i reckon twice as much as a brompton with a decent kit on it - but anybody ridden/bought one? cheers Rob

    something good to say about BH service :)

    Hi all (wow the new forum design is cool, but the text on the subject line is hooj!) just thought as i've not been slow to complain about bh service and warranty, that i'd better add the good thing that they've done for me to be fair. My bike only arrived with one key - cue lots of arguing...

    the bizzareness of plod

    Hmmm, out this morning at about 10am (bit warmer than the other day so not quite so whiney about the weather today :) ) and was overtaken by a plod (on double white lines which he had to break to overtake me.) As i went past the pub in the next village he was in the car park and flagged me...

    Hi all, she who must be obeyed has decreed that our folding bikes will be motorised :) now this causes me a bit of a problem, as while i'm quite keen to give putting a motor kit on myself, I'm also keen not to dent my offroad bike budget too much. bike number one is a 26" wheel dahon jack...

    blowout....

    bit of a weird one this, but i had a blow out a couple of days ago, quite severe (the guy whose truck i almost ended up under said he thought someone had shot out my tyres) changed the tube (which was destroyed completely) and pumped up the new tube which promptly exploded again. rechecked...

    Hi guys, anyone got a better discount code for the bike show than RCUK? that gets you 1.50 off, and was the best i could find with a quick google (actually the same as all the others i could find, apart from a groupon that you had to exchange for a ticket on the day...) cheers rob

    neo xtreme review after 2,500 miles

    Heh, just to complete the loop, here is my review of the neo xtreme, following on from the carbon and cross reviews. for the record i had a cross first of all, and again while my bike was in for repair, the main difference between the cross and the xtreme is that the cross is a faster...

    spare motor or another bike :)

    Hi folks, I've been toying with the idea of getting another ebike to use off-road, and have narrowed it down to 3 potential bikes (i think - haibike, xipi or ansmann) and was just thinking about going to test them out when my government objected to the funding of such a project and began to...

    hypermiling...the xtreme and cross way ;)

    Hi all, just thought i'd share my experiences of trying to max the milage out of a battery/pedal combination.....any comments or suggestions are welcome. When i first got my first ebike (an ex-demo neo cross) the range was a disaster (<10km on a full battery) it turned out to be faulty...

    bizarre.....

    I had a weird dream last night about an electric bike powered by multiple electric toothbrushes....while i expect that it may lack something in power or practicality, it was brilliant in the dream, you just dropped the toothbrush bodies into the frame. ((this is why computers is my business...

    todays amusement

    arrived at our local forestry comission place (about 15 miles away the other side of farnham) and was happily trundling about when i stopped to answer questions about the electric bike from some lads who were interested, and got interrupted with an earful about not being a "proper cyclist"...
