You don't need a very big hydrofoil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW_UfYGO3Kg

Hi Go to Atmosphere Electric bikes in Hotwells. They have a variety of bikes and you can cycle them round the block, including Park Street, to find out which configuration you prefer. cheers Alan

Got these on my eBike and mountain bike, over 3,000 miles without a puncture SCHWALBE CITY JET 26" x 1.50 Bike Tyre: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

I incur these costs anyway, having or not having the eBike makes no difference, if I keep the car. So not appropriate to include them for comparison purposes. My costs for running the car are accurate, I keep records of all expenditure. I do around 10,000 miles a year, and the car does...

If you need to retain a car there isn't one ! My car, BMW 330D, running costs (fuel, servicing, consumables) based on 5 year historic analysis is £0.20 per mile My electric bike: 1st year depreciation (60% of purchase price) £510 (2nd & 3rd years 20% & 20%) Saddle £25 Tyres £18...

Hi Flecc 13 months old, and 1900 miles, so just out of warranty ! cheers Alan

I have a Kudos King. Suddenly the motor doesn't disengage, so it's difficult to get above 17mph because of the resistance, and going down hills where I normally coast at 30mph it will only get up to about 20mph. When I turn the back wheel whilst stationary there is a fair amount of...

Not sure I would want to be shaving 2mm off carbon forks ! It's bound to invalidate your bike warranty, and broken fork accidents don't bear thinking about.

Agree, don't have one on mine, been caught in the rain loads of times, I wouldn't worry about it.

There's only £30 difference in price isn't there ? I've got a King, it's capable offroad but the heavy weight behind the seat compromises handling, and it rattles over the bumps. It does have knobbly tyres, suspension, and hydraulic disks which will work in the wet/muddy. It's perfectly...

I think it's post war, he bought it after being demobbed, probably 1946. The brakes are more modern looking, and chrome bottoms on forks. Flecc, I guessed you might know about it. You're right - 3 speed, and the chain is almost certainly original, 66 years old, and it had a lot of use in...

Have just collected an old Sunbeam bike from my dad. He's now in his ninties and decided to stop riding. He says he bought it just after the war for £16 but can't remember which bits he's changed over the years, except the saddle obviously. It's all in working order, just needs some new...

I guess it all depends whether people are using them for commuting or other journeys regardless of weather, or only on sunny days. Personally I have the Kudos King for commuting which doesn't have mudguards as standard. On wet days I was getting very wet feet, and although the rack and...

Yes, you already do, the Kudos Tourer, although it's getting very close to the £1,000 threshold. I wouldn't describe my own "King" as satisfying all the criteria many buyers would have, and I've had to buy a number of items to make it suitable for the milage I do, i.e. better saddle...

Can that possibly work ? Why aren't they commonly used ?

The guys in Atmosphere should be able to sort you out, excellent service and a good range. Perfect circuit up Park Street to check the bikes as well. Good luck.

OK, point understood. I've a Kudos King. That's got the range, and is suitable for canal paths as well. I average over 15mph for my 10 mile commute, and on the level it's easy to pedal it at 17/18 mph. But it won't do 20/25 unless you have a tailwind or going downhill.

I'd suggest at 22 years old with reasonable fitness you should get a non-electric bike, something like a Boardman Hybrid Pro, or a Stevens Cyclo Cross bike. These will weigh less than 10kg, your fitness will improve, and if you take easy on the run to work you shouldn't get hot and sweaty

It all depends how much resistence is dialed into the rolling road. If it's very light, equivalent to cycling on a level road, I think the range of my Kudos King is likely to be as far as I can tolerate sitting in the saddle (lets say 120 miles in a day) because with no wind resistance it will...

I wouldn't consider just because of that ridiculous range claim, rolling road test is totally irrelevent for reasons stated above.
