    Ebikes for less than £100?

    A fake site. Doesn't even include required legal info and my guess the site will have vanished in a few days once orders with payment have been received.

    Ebike powered heated winter cycling suit

    Mine use a 7.4V 3000mAh lithium power pack with DC connector as standard. I think you're making this over-complicated!

    Ebike powered heated winter cycling suit

    Probably not AA batteries - they wouldn't have the capacity. The socks will have their own battery packs in pockets.

    Ebike powered heated winter cycling suit

    I wear USB heated gear but on my body rather than heated insoles or gloves, although I do have these. My heated insoles have their own battery packs slotted into pockets and last about 5-6 hours. The same for clothing and I carry spare power banks - easier than powering by the bike and no...

    oxygen battery repair/ rebuild

    Is this the Oxygen 24" step through? If so, I have the same bike and it uses a silverfish battery, readily available from eBay and possibly more economic than a rebuild.

    a question on walk mode

    I've used walk assist many times, usually up hills or over rough ground. It's also very useful for pushing a bike up the ridged groove found at the side of some flights of steps where it would be impossible to mount the bike to cycle. Great for steep hill starts too!

    Folding bikes

    I have several folding bikes. One lives under the bunks in our caravan, another on my car's passenger seat and a third is in a remote cabin. When it requires maintenance it is carried home by car. I couldn't do any of this with a non-folder. I have 2 full-size bikes used for rides from home...

    How unique are the keys

    I've had 4 batteries and none were keyed alike.

    Help! Raleigh motus. where to/ how to fix accessories

    I have a step-through bike without cross-bar and my bikes also don't have any accessory holes drilled into the frame. I carry a water bottle on the seat downtube, secured via wrapped-around Velcro, lock wrapped around the seatpost or on rear pannier rack and a simple bracket fitting for a front...

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    @StuartsProjects I've never heard of a map of public USB points but there won't be any here - we're far too rural and it's about 6 miles to the nearest (small) shop. I carry a manual pump too but normally use the USB pump for speed and ease. If flat, it can be powered via the bike battery...

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    I dread punctures or anything going wrong, especially if I'm +30 miles from home. I also live in a rural area miles from any bus routes so getting home would be tricky and even taxis tend to be booked several days or weeks ahead. If I did get completely stuck then I'd have to leave the bike at...

    Carriers and bags

    I have a similar pannier set, currently £15.35 on Amazon. The bag is very easy to fit with Velcro straps reaching up the sides rather than having to fiddle with fittings beneath the carrier rack. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BY8MJ2GZ

    The above shop is Ebikerz with just one Z, so this isn't even their review!

    ebikerz.shop. LEGIT WEBSITE??

    Operating from a private home in Chorley (4 Grove Cres, Adlington, Chorley PR6 9RJ), possibly drop-shipping orders. I would have concerns re honouring any warranty along with longevity of the company. It has only been running for a month, no company registration and domain registered...
