    Becoming a Serial E-Bike Owner - A Confession

    I must admit I always fancied the idea of a recumbent, if only for the never owned one them before, reason :) I look forward to seeing a post about about it's conversion as soon as you've bought it ;)

    Becoming a Serial E-Bike Owner - A Confession

    Hello I'm Mark and I'm a cycloholic and now appear to be a ebikeoholic I put some of the blame on you lot. Bikes have been an addiction of mine for last 18 years since I went on holiday to Skipton and took my £99 Apollo All Terrain Bike (as they marketed it at the time). The bike was horrendous...

    Lexham Cycle Recovery Insurance - Don't get Caught Out

    Never thought of recovery policy for the bike. I always have tools and spare tubes with me. I suppose there are some instances where the failure would be unreparable.

    non pneumatic tyres - good investment?

    I didn't read any sarcasm in that reply.

    Dropper post worth it?

    I couldn't do without one, mine's just a cheapo mechanical one, cost about £50 on ebay a few years back.

    non pneumatic tyres - good investment?

    It really isn't hard to do. Although I'm interested in how they progress with solid tyres. Despite being a dab hand at fixing punctures or swapping inner tubes (done so many over the years), it does disrupt the day if it happens on the way to work. I had one the other morning, despite slime...

    Overtaking men on road bikes!

    No issues in the 8 Months I've been commuting on an Ebike, but I don't see many on the route I take.

    Converting Rockhopper MTB to ebike for flat commute

    How much luggage will you be carrying to and from work? I found that my heavy bag really made my back sweaty, so I have it on my rear rack. I wouldn't want the battery weight there as well, as that would make it very rear heavy. Obviously that won't be an issue if you don't load the rear up...

    Replacing a motorbike for my commute

    I've never felt comfortable with the typical head down road bike position, hurts my neck, but you could change the bars, I ended up with these on one bike, which made it much more comfortable...

    Brompton on Swipe TV.

    Do they really need all those though, I don't run mine with brake sensors and I've never had an issue with the motor stopping when I stop peddling. I don't have a throttle, power kicks in almost straight away. Pretty sure I don't have a temperature sensor, what does that do? I assume a torque...

    Good response Oliver, glad to hear it was a temp problem, as I was considering a second purchase in the near future.

    problems with Panda eBikes

    They do appear a little disorganised at times, the kit I bought took some time to arrive as they didn't have the brake sensors. I then received the brake sensors only and had to chase the rest of the stuff I finally got the whole kit, plus another set of brake sensors. They did respond to...

    It made me think ........

    Never test ride a bike.....

    ..unless you are actively looking for one! Popped into my LBS to see if they had an old bike box I could have to ship a bike. I remembered he had been extolling the virtues of ebikes to another customer, last time I was there (prior to my interest in ebikes), so I asked what he had in stock...
