    Gaadi double-ended inner tube

    Has anyone had any experience of this product? I don't want to be carrying round an 18mm spanner with me and this looks like a potentially useful emergency inner tube for blow-outs or really big gashes. I do wonder if the ride is bit bumpy though. It is pricey though but has plenty of options...

    Riding Mode Selection: C600E query

    Many thanks. The 6 PAS settings in 'Normal' seem to have all my requirements covered but might try out the other options out of curiosity. I'm new to ebikes so I'm still in that stage where I can't stop smiling when the power kicks in (and where it all feels like it's some kind of magic). It's...

    Riding Mode Selection: C600E query

    Can anyone help with this query: my new bike comes with the C600E LCD display. One of the options is the 'Riding Mode Selection' : there are three options 'Power', 'Normal', 'Eco'. My bike came with 'Normal' set as default. Anyone know what these mean (the manual doesn't explain). My bike...

    Kudos K16 and 15 mph throttle

    That advert/feature I n Wattbike on the K-16 was really good - I did wonder if you should put a similar range of photos (showing the model's folding, portability) on your website. On separate topic, any update on when Stealth/Alamo will be with you? Thanks

    Cheers. Think the larger wheels and semi-hidden battery look great. Hope they are a success.

    £300 ebike grant launched in Jersey

    I'm not sure if this is the right section but if you live in Jersey, if you are over 14 you can now apply for a £300 discount/grant on an ebike. It will be interesting to see how it goes but Jersey could become ebike island. Just in time for KudosDave's new Range...

    Looks lovely - is the Alamo the same spec but in cream?

    Brompton Kers (kinetic energy recovery system)

    I looked up KERS (never heard of it before) and apparently it's using kinetic energy generated when braking to generate and store electrical power: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy_recovery_system# So it's not pedelling which charges the battery but braking. Interesting to see...

    Brompton Kers (kinetic energy recovery system)

    There is an article in the Guardian today about Brompton's move into electric bikes. Interesting enough but what caught my eye was this paragraph: The new bikes employ pedelec technology, which stores energy from pedalling and releases it when the rider reaches a hill. The Brompton system has...

    Some advance info on the latest 2016 Kudos models

    For me, what a electric bike looks like is important. The partially hidden battery on the Alamo/Stealth looks very good indeed and the colour scheme is terrific (really, I think its the nicest looking bike around). Love the tyres also. Fingers-crossed that I can fit a rack and paniers for my...
