    I want to build a power-assisted rickshaw bike and SELL MY CAR! Advice, anyone?

    Bakfiets.nl - Models - Bakfiets | Cargobike | Transport bike | Cargo trike | Work bike I think the Dutch do use this sort of thing. Could you combine a cargo bike and a tow a long so that one of the children added some small input?

    Rip kmx Finally sold this machine. It was a lot of fun, got me back into regular cycling, got me into e biking and even in the end financed a 2nd hand ebike for my better half. But it was also a pain in the bum.

    8-10-12-18? Panasonic Batteries

    Rohloff 500/14

    I have one in my flyer and I love it. There is the occasional issue when shift from 7th to 8th which is well documented but otherwise I think it is an amazing bit of kit. Not sure I really need all the gears on an e bike though. Think I don't use lower than 4th gear.

    18ah in stock at my local shop

    So today I went to work on my flyer, for the first time in about 2 months, and used the 18ah battery I have borrowed. First thing was that it was a bit of a squeeze to get it in place on the bike. It does go in but no where near as smoothly as the original. The second thing I noticed was...

    18ah in stock at my local shop

    Went in to the bike shop round the corner where I bought my flyer and saw he had a couple of Raleigh Dovers, one with an 18ah battery on it. I asked him about it and he seemed to express some reservations about it and recommended me to wait for the 16 ah panasonic which he said didn't require...

    Anyone tried magic shine lights?

    Allen I couldn't agree more plus I think it always good to have a backup incase one light fails. I actually ride with five lights on my bike. The front and rear the bike came with, a smart super flash and now also the front and rear magic shine. I don't have a front flashing light...
