    Hit by car at crossroads!

    Thanks for all the support. The girls boyfriend knocked on my door last night (she's a friend of my niece it turns out..it's a small town!) with a bottle of malt. Very grateful I didn't make a meal of the incident in order to claim on his insurance. I put his mind at rest, explaining how I...

    Hit by car at crossroads!

    Had my first accident on a cycle since I was a child last night. I was mown down by a girl in a hot hatch at the roundabout in a nearby village. Luckily I wasn't travelling too fast and was able to slow down enough to avoid going under the front of it, and got hit quite hard by the drivers...

    Front suspension: a 'must' or a luxury?

    Thats a very interesting article. Being new to e-cycling, I had been wondering about this myself in respect to future purchases. My only experience of a suspension cycle was on a cheap mountain bike I borrowed to get to work on a few years ago. It was a triumph of style over substance, and it...

    i'm seeing loads of electric bikes now!

    Just been given a Torq carpetbagger. I put the guy i met onto these forums. To be honest I was surprised he wasn't a member already. His only real gripe was the lack of support, so when I informed him of the wealth of knowledge and experience on here he seemed keen.

    Pulled into the bicycle shed at my local supermarket this morning and parked my torq next to an ezee sprint. First e-bike I have seen in the Chorley area. The owner was waiting for me when I finished my shopping, had a bit of a chat with him. Mine was the first ebike he'd seen too. Had a great...

    Treat the Earth Well

    My cycle was garaged for 3 years practically unused...bought on a whim by a family member who liked the idea but wasn't too keen on the practice of electric cycling. Whilst my primary concerns involve cutting the costs and time of my daily bus ride to work, and travel around my local town seeing...

    Broken battery

    Hi, I was wondering if any users had experience with my problem. I was given an Ezee Torq earlier this week, and everything is working fine, but I also recieved an extra Nimh battery. Apparently this battery has never worked and was replaced foc by 50cycles when the bike was new. So, being...
