On my bike I've run out of battery and it was very hard to pedal. Is a crank drive (bosch) and is definitely harder than a regular bike. If you have a hub drive I guess that might be a different experience. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

I got the nyon as an upgrade on my bike, managed to get it discounted against the cost of the bike so in effect ended up costing £200. Maps are pretty good though not all kept on device, you synch the ones you are likely to need. Quite like the premium option to show typographic distance of the...

This question has come about all because I forgot to start Strava this morning. Having to manually enter the details rather than import a track (.gpx or otherwise) I wondered why I couldn't export what the eBike Connect web portal provides. You can import .gpx tracks so am I missing something...

I've got the Nyon and before I started using it did the update. Only issue I've had is that during a ride it loses smartphone connection every once in a while. It reconnects itself though after a short period. This could be the phone though as I've had other devices randomly disconnect! (Xperia...

Thanks for the tip! I do have 1 pair of padded shorts, wore them twice this week and whilst it was better than just underwear they weren't that comfy. Looked at the pearl izumi and they're a bit expensive so I've ordered a cheaper pair of mens 3d pants from amazon and will see how I go with...

Hi folks Just taken delivery of my very first eBike and thought I would just jot down my initial thoughts having completed a commute to/from work totalling >50km. This is by far the furthest I've cycled in any one day. My legs are kind of feeling it now but nowhere near like they would be if I...

I think as stated in a previous post, as well as by a colleague you want to have 2 locks but of different materials so that it will mean a dirty thieving burglarising bast*rd would need more than 1 tool to be able to break. Just got myself a hiplok lite and already have another meshed lock but...

Serves the dirty thieving bastards right! Think there's scope there for a true anti theft device for an e bike. Electrify the handlebars and seatpost with a remote control :-)

Don't suppose you will indicate which shop this was, or at least the region you are in? I'm in the market for an e bike so keen to find reputable dealers. Feel free to Pm me if you don't want to post publicly. Thanks

Thanks, great suggestion. I've seen this capability is available in places like the new forest as well so was considering a trip. Planning summer hols in Devon or Cornwall but I hope to have a bike before then though!

Thanks, however this is drifting away from the point of my post and that was to find a place relatively locally from where I can hire an e bike from. I'd like to try my commute at least once with an e bike to make sure it's something I will keep up.

36 hole not volt. A 22Ah battery is better than most of the batteries seen for bikes in terms of capacity, no?

Thanks. I prefer the look of the Krieger from your link. I've not really considered a conversion since it would mean taking an already heavy bike and making it heavier. If it was half that price I'd consider it since if it all went tits up in a year I wouldn't feel too aggrieved! Again though...

Thanks, I appreciate technology has moved on however if I wanted a similar spec'd bike to my ridgeback now I could easily pick one up for the same or less and it would most likely be better and lighter. I suspect the cost of such Li-Ion batteries in their current incarnation is down to what is...

Hi folks I'm interested in buying an electric bike. Will be used for commuting, some road but hopefully mostly tracks and cycle paths. So not looking for a full on MTB but a hybrid or cross-bar style bike with front suspension (lockable) and mid-drive (pref Bosch but open to trying Shimano or...
