These electric motorcycles are a far cry from any pedelec, l've seen them around here. Typically the motor is upwards of 1600w with a top speed of 70mph or more. They are readily available online so hardly surprising the local scallys are razzing around on them. Also they are pretty much...

Yes a little odd, why did he have a picture of an un-broken rear window on his car. And then a picture exactly the same but with the window smashed Long time ago though, the O/P hasn't been seen on here since 2012

So l've got a Mirider 1 and my missus has just got hers on RTW The new one isn't right, the range is poor (10 miles) and the battery indicator is down to 50% after as little as 2.5 miles. The bike is slower than mine and can't achieve the 15.5mph cutoff speed, managing about 14mph before...

Yes l have. At speed the front edge of the straps lift and makes the noise. lt's really loud, particularly if it's windy

lt's definitely the straps in front of my ears because if l press the strap with my finger the noise completely stops on that side. l'll try the "cat ears" idea !

Now here's an unusual one, l've never seen it discussed. My cycle helmet is a standard type and it's fine at lower speeds, however at speeds of 15mph the wind roar is actually quite excessive, worse than my motorcycle helmet. When descending hills or riding into the wind it's even worse and a...

l am surprised that this thread didn't generate any interest. l am still using the Mirider but less off road now, done over 1,000 miles and still running perfectly

Well it was stolen six years ago and it's likely the owner has moved on years ago, hasn't been on this forum for years either, the bike is in Sweden you say? l guess it's possible, but would it be worth recovering it after all this time?

lf you attach a GPS speedometer to your bike, you will almost certainly find that the bike's speedometer over reads by 1-2mph

l don't think anyone is reading your posts Woosh You can only do your best to give advice.

It seems everyone has their own chain care plan! l just use GT85 on mine and have found that the chain lasts 2-3 times as long as with regular chain oil, plus the drive train stays clean (before it would get covered in black gunge and needed the cassette dismantling to clean it)

That's why l was asking if anyone had used them. lt means that if the Shimano motor on my mountain bike develops any kind of fault, l need to pony up £900-1,000 for a new motor. l did contact them asking if they could service my motor as it's done over 3,000 miles but they flatly refused to...

That was my thought. Has nobody on here tried their services?

Has anyone used these people, and how did you get on? They claim to be able to service and repair all makes of high end mid-drive motors including Shimano (which many say can't be serviced, repaired or even dismantled without permanently "bricking " them) https://www.e-motorrepairs.co.uk/services/

ls there a camping trailer in those photos? Sorry, l didn't notice a trailer
