    Gadget Show 24th August

    It's normally on at 8PM (and they also repeat it on Fiver I think). The trailer says the presenters become cycle couriers for the day to test electric bikes and sat navs.

    most powerful folding electric bike

    Have you considered the Greenedge Silverado - plenty of power, folds and is 19Kg (I doubt if there's anything lighter out there)? It costs £850. I've done 500 miles on it since January and is very reliable. Check it out at the Electric Transport Shop Electric Bike Sales - Shop Online...

    Which Bike Computer?

    I picked my Garmin Edge 205 up in the Xmas sales - I couldn't believe I only had to pay £19.99. I left the shop quickly in case they changed their mind! A great product though.

    Silverado

    I charge the battery after every 10-15 miles and this takes 2-3 hours generally. I have now done over 150 miles on it so far. For some reason my review never uploaded so I will try to do it again shortly.

    Alternative to Urban Mover UM24?

    Many thanks for all the responses. In the end I decided to take a trip down to The Electric Bike Shop in Camden and tried out a Greenedge Blackstar and Silverado. I'm only just over 5'6" yet found the Blackstar too low for me (handlebars couldn't be extended very much). I decided to go for...
