I saw a low flying pigeon in Richmond park once and I swear she was doing well over 45mph just before coming in to land not far from the public footpath. Rather than wasting tax payers money fining cyclists who are in total control of their machines they should start locking up these unruly...

Sounds great - it would be good with a 1000w motor, razzing down the pavements of London, running over policeman's toes!!

That's an amazing statistic flecc- I can't match it but I did cycle in London everyday for for 12 years and didn't wear a helmet once. I went over a car bonnet once and the only damage was a buckled front wheel. Helmets should be worn by those that require them, but should not be a replacement...

That looks good - are crank drives okay for gates carbon belts?

This might be good for you http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/pagan-electric-bike-60mph-fully-road-legal.22286/

Thanks guys. I'm sure I can find another £99 if I really have to, but wouldn't want to go over that. Personally I prefer the look of hub drive units, I think they are a bit cleaner looking. Although I've read mid drive has more torque and is better for hill climbing. It's a bit vain I know, but...

Thanks Cyclezee - they look good and the price is nice. Do you know anything about them or did you just come across them?

£1400 - That's a bit steep mate. The CBT cost £120 (or £140 if you hire a bike). The theory £23. The mod 1 £15 and the mod 2 £85. I passed them all with no tuition - just looking up stuff on the Internet and you tube, although I had to take my mod 1 twice! You can get a decent bike for 1200...

You really should consider getting a scooter job100 - I've got 125 twist and go - it's currently the quickest and easiest way to get around (good quality electric versions are available although expensive) There are guys who cycle the same 10mile route as I (without pedelec) and they arrive at...

Sounds like you know your stuff Cyclezee - unfortunately it's a bit hard to understand for me as a newbie to this subject - it seems like a minefield out there. What I'm looking for is a light weight (within reason) small front hub drive kit. That I can boost up to 17mph (to stay legal) , but...

Hi Hasse Did you build the setup with the Smart Pie? I was looking at them on ebay - they look pretty good. How did you get on?

I see what you mean flecc - it does sound like proper chore with all the extra bits required and outweighs the purpose of cycling in the first place, and you would look a proper numpty on a pushbike with a motorcycle helmet! Given the fact Govecs produce a good looking electric scooter...

I think a bike with full suspension like a downhill mtb would make a great large motor electric bike and would soak up all the potholes. I was thinking of putting one together myself. It would be illegal to ride absolutely anywhere in the UK due to our overzealous Heath and safety laws....unless...

Thanks for the advice Nealh - I"ll do some research on those. Can you personally recommend them - are they good quality?

Really nice looking bike! thanks for the info. I've never heard of Gaadi double ended tubes before. Just looked them up on Amazon - there's no reviews. Do they work? Would you recommend? I'm thinking of getting a Gates carbon drive bike which I believe is a chore for punchers - could this be the...

I'm new to this forum but have been doing lots of Internet research on ebikes as I plan to get back into cycling, mainly for my commute. 10 miles which is fairly flat apart from Crystal Palace hill - fun to coast down - not so great to get up! So I want something to take the edge off. If anyone...

Does it work? Have you tested it as I hear Keyde are unreliable?
