hi is it just me or is anyone else seeing loads and loads of electric bikes now? i am seeing them almost every other day now. i used to be the only person that had one. it must be something to do with halfords selling them?

hi i'm available to fix peoples electric bikes in the UK. labour will be £10 an hour. i can give you estimates over the phone for how long i think it will take. i can fix any electric bike. Regards, Dr Matthew Slinn PM me if your interested

your going to need a large battery, but its do-able. a 600wh battery would let you do 32miles. if you can charge at work then this would be the best solution. otherwise i would go for an even larger battery e.g. 1000wh. always buy more battery than you need because it protects against...

we need a critical mass of electric bikers before we can hope to have any power over the writing of new legislation. bring it on!

get disc brakes and you could just continue riding on it.

if its an aluminium rim then you will have to replace it which involves respoking it. its possible to do it yourself but it takes a few hours and a spoke key. if its steel then you can bend it back with some grips. you probably went over something like a large pothole or debris. i had it...

those running machines don't accuratly simulate running. theres no resistance from wind or gravity. even when you set it for "up hill" you are not having to move your whole body up a hill, just your feet and legs. its cheating. its probably very dependant on how you use it as well...

just check that the positive and negative are the right way round for your battery and that the float voltage of the charger is the same as the old one.

i tried to make a legal ebike about 3 years ago. its wasn't worth the hastle. the punishment for riding a mini-moto is just a slap on the wrist. they only confiscate the mini-moto if you are caught a second time. i think we still need to wait for more of a critical mass of electric bikes...

once you get it passed you then have to get insurance. no insurance company is going to insure you on a vehicle that is not in their computer database. before you go through the hurdles i suggest you phone insurance companies so that you understand that problem too.

G4 9 SMD LED Marine Warm white Light Bulb Lamp 12V on eBay (end time 12-Feb-10 12:02:15 GMT) these are really good. as bright as a 10W MR16 but only 3.5W.

Hi Reg i think you application for Ebike technology is very worthy. most of the commercial bikes will be a bit low powered as they are designed with pedaling in mind. fear not though, because with a few tweeks and some extra batteries you can increase the power of any bike. Xipi make some...

i get that too but i would never trust the little oik's to bring the bike back to me after the ride. :D

i'm 29 and i think ebikes are cool. it annoys me when people regard them as some kind of invalid carraige. this survey has proved that the take up of ebikes is more uniform across the age range than is often assumed. i bet the UK population age distribution is quite close to that graph. i...

i think green taxes will be much easier to sell than other taxes. hopefully we will see a lot more of them. i read in the paper that motorists are going to get hit by a tripple-wammy of higher fuel tax, insurance and cost of oil. i definatly think there is scope for more to be put on the car...

i got annoyed a week ago when i over-herd a group of females in a resturaunt discussing how some cyclists ride too far out and make it "impossible to pass". they seemed like nice people and none of them had a clue about why it was. i think there should be a gov TV campain about it, to increase...

i don't have many problems with traffic any more. i think i've mellowed out slightly because i used to get very passionate about this issue. its only the high speed limit single lane roads that usually pose a danger of this. in these situations its difficult and probably illegal to block...

what battery is it?

speak for yourself im 29 and in perfect health. this is a wild assumption.

you call 16ths of an inch real units?
