I bought this, and I used it in the summer. Then I thought "Actually, I really like electric bikes" and got a super expensive, custom made, lightweight electric bike from Bike Friday in the US. With the battery it's just 14.9Kg! Any way, now that I have my Bike Friday bike , I want to sell...

Hi, I already have a Kryptonite u lock for my nike, and was looking at getting Kryptonite wheelnutz. Looking on Amazon, someone showed that despite using a u lock, their front wheel was still stolen There are a lot more thefts right now too, given people see this lock down as a free for...

I ordered a LIVALL helmet and the controller part was too small for the frame of my bike, which was a bit annoying. I've since bought a Bern Brentwood helmet with a winter liner Now I still want indicators other than using my hands, as turn signals as it's just easier to press a button Does...

Hi, I put the seat in, and now it doesn't even want to come out. I was using a suspension seat before. It's a Wisper 806 torque. Does anyone know how I can get it to come out? Thanks

Hi, How do you wash your ebike? Do you wash it once / week? I'll use mine mainly for commuting 30 miles / day Do you use a bike wash detergent too? How often do you use lubricant / WD40? I'm guessing you protect the brake discs somehow too?

I just realised I'm super close to the city centre, and honestly I'd be going back towards the city centre. Does anyone do deliveroo? Like maybe just one hour / week, or one delivery/day. It's not massively important but just thinking how it might well be possible to use an ebike, going back...

I'm possibly getting a used bike from here, and then I thought "Yeah I'd probably want insurance" Where have people gone to buy insurance? And then for them to pay out for what it costs, as opposed to what it's worth in x amounts of time? I don't have contents insurance because I'm renting a...

Hi, Just wondering what helmets people have? - For summer, and winter? I gather there are people who don't like wearing protective gear at all, but I'd personally rather have it than not Thanks

Hi This is more me thinking ahead. I'll probably get the Woosh folding Rambletta bike for my needs thus far What bike should I get should I want a speed pedelec? I'm aware that I'd need a CBT licence. I'd probably want to look at both folding, and non folding bikes too. My current commute is 15...

What sort of training have you done in order to have a higher average speed? Possibly even to the extent of not needing an e-bike in the long term? How did you get there?

I haven't even bought my first bike yet! I'm looking at well, where I want to live in the future. Stalybridge is between Leeds, Manchester , and even Sheffield, not that I'm fussed about working in Sheffield Then I'd probably need a road legal speed pedelec e-bike that takes me to Leeds, and...

This one really isn't an ebike, and according to their website, in order to use it legally you'd have to register it as a motorbike. Not sure what "cc" It's equivalent to? I don't even have my CBT, so it's pure just general interest Has anyone got one? For me, the way I see it, is I could...

Hi, I'm pretty decided on the bike I want, assume it's good for my needs come February, and it should hopefully fit in my car boot, given it folds Let's say in the future, I become more confident, and also get a CBT licence. Let's say I buy a speed pedelec to get me say from Headingley to...

Hi I've had a look at Google Street View, and it looks like the A roads are actually pretty safe, and there is a dedicated bike lane for much of the route, for my commute. They don't appear to have a speed limit of higher than 40Mph In traffic they're probably doing half that speed tbf What...

Hi, Just wondering what sorta clothing people use whilst biking? Especially if their workplace requires them to dress up smartly? I'm guessing you'd need something fairly rainproof given it's the UK, and you'd probably need a different set of clothes for winter / summer, and you'd want...

Hi, I've been told that I should either buy a Dahon bike with 20" wheels, or wait until February, when Woosh have a new bike, however that hasn't been tested for my requirements yet Let's say that I go with a Dahon, I'm not sure what I should get? My requirements : Weight :86Kg Height : 1.69m...

Hi, I think I've got it down to just three bikes for a 30 mile round trip between Headingley, and Ben Rhydding My Height :1.69m My Weight : 86Kg Now not sure which one I should buy out of these three. It has to be foldable as I can't store it anywhere secure except for my car boot and at...

I don't even have a regular commuting bike so far. What I really want is a bike - that's easy to fold ie: to fit in my car boot - has a long range (60 miles?) And I'm not sure you can get that with a regular prebuilt ebike? I also wouldn't know what bike to buy too...

If someone is travelling at 25km/hour,and it says so in the bike, I'm wondering how do they even go about enforcing that? Ie: say if the person has a much larger battery than is legal, but travelling at ebike speed.

Hi, I'd like to commute to work via ebike, using the komoot app given that Google maps wants me to go an A roads which is not very safe I'd be travelling between Headingley, and Ben Rhydding, and back of course. I'd probably also require something for my lunch I'm 27,1.69m tall, 86Kg :( I...
