    Advice on e bike

    I've recently purchased my first ebike so am no expert. Because of stock shortages everywhere, I had plenty of time to research exactly what I wanted. I'm 5ft 3,but with a longer inside leg, so thought I'd be OK with an 18inch frame. Because of the additional weight of an ebike, I modified my...

    Opening a shop, which brands are the best??

    Long distance commute bike

    Same happened to me in three shops this week. I really want to try before I buy, but very frustrating. Also there's very little stock of anything. Good luck !

    Hi,from Scotland

    Just introducing myself as I want to say a huge thanks to all the contributors of this site. I've learnt so much in the last month, so much so that I'll probably delay purchase until I can get to bike shops when they have stock to try, or online retailers have stock. I've fancied an e bike for...

    Raleigh Velo display

    Did you buy the bike from eBay from a seller in Grangemouth by any chance? I was interested until they said battery hadn't been charged for five years.
