I'm swithering about what to do with my old bike since its sad demise. I would like to keep a normal bike and an electric bike in the future. Electric bike would need to be a good hill climber, light enough to cycle without power if the battery went flat, comfortable for city cycling and...

I came back to my back - chained up next to Holyrood - to find two policemen trying to decide if the battery was an explosive device when I first got in back in 2003 and no one much had heard of electric bikes. I got a telling off instead.

It's been exactly a year since the article about the greenwheels was put on the site's homepage - whatever happened with that, I haven't seen anything more about that. I was sort of hoping there would be other leaps forward in tecnology this year. I suppose the cost is high for new...

Happy to sigh - hopefully I will be taking a tour group on the Waverly in May, can't wait.

I bought a new 9ah battery and charger for my lafree twist lite, but have decided to sell them on. I will post the eBay link when I do. I need to find out about shipping costs first. There is nothing wrong with the battery - It's the bike, which is also for sale. No sooner did I get the...

A solar locker to store and recharge your electric bike.

baaa-aaa-ck off mooooooooo-ve over cluck-off

I decided today it would be great if they made an electric bike that looked like the flintstone's car, I could use the help pedalling round. It would be an eco-friendly noise-friendly way to take tours round the park in the summer. They would have to have some kind of freewheel gizmo when you...

Wow, the basket in the second one looks huge, ideal for shopping trips. At present I just get mine delivered, having given up the car. My Lafree is back on the road however, don't know for how long but I'm going to keep it to the last gasp then get the most up to date best model Agattu...

OK, well, some time and some experimentation later, and it seems I've found what sets off the stall no power thing. I charge the battery, and when its full, switch it off. But I then wait and switch it on again in case it isn't quite full. That's fine, but if I do it again, for instance right...

I have a lafree twist lite. My friend is just back from Italy and said electric bikes where all over the place there, its like they have taken over from mopeds. He said there were some pretty amazing ones made out of carbon fibre which were ultra lightweight and looked like they had been made...

Odder and odder. I kept using the bike without power, I'd been doing it for ages anyway so it let me save up for another bike. Plus it had new sprockets so was usable anyway. The bike still did the thing like it was missing the gear though, even after the new sprockets were on. It was way...

I'm guessing replacing the whole motor is out too. Guess I have a bike for parts, a brand new 9ah battery and charger and an old charger and battery case for sale...

Bike was repaired, new sprocket set and chain ect.... new battery holding a charge... Took it out, engine worked for 5 minutes then packed in. Think my Lafree has finally died. :(

Well, I've seen the sprocket, didn't know what it was. It's corners were worn down to nubbins compared to the one in the pics on your website. :( There was good news and bad news though. The sprocket came off okay, but turned over, it doesnt fit. There's a spline(?) that doesn't line up...

Thanks for all the help. I'm going to print it all off for the bike shop. They checked the gears were set up right at the service but it still had this slipping problem. I think maybe I wasn't pausing long enough between gear changes because I had been cycling it so long without power, and...

Different kind of irregular power output I haven't posted for a while, mainly cos my battery recell went wrong and I've been using the bike since before xmas without any battery on it. (A LaFree Twist Lite) Could this have damamged the motor? I ordered a new battery and charger, and brought...

My dreams of owning an Agattu are reliant on harrassing my agency to join the cycle to work scheme, they on the other hand think I should take an in-house loan they charge at more than my credit card with £15 a month fee service charges, unfortunately.
