    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    I'm intrigued enough by Flecc's opinion, and your agreement with it that I would be interested to hear you logic, so I can ensure its discussed our end. Trading Standards law says this: ____________________________________ Introduction If your business supplies products to consumers, you need...

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    Hi, I've been following this thread with interest and I agree with Flecc's post above. I would like to add the following. To the Bosch warranty discussion: Rather than be afraid of any unlikely mechanical failings due to using a dongle it is in Bosch's best interest to be seen to remain within...

    Pedestrian filmed pushing cyclist off her bike

    I wonder if he'd have legged it up the road and acted the same if it had been a large gentleman riding the bike? PhilX

    New Gtech ebike

    Probably won't be trading the Haibike in for one. Dyson is very innovative and I hope they sell a huge number of them... Quite looking forward to having clean cycle paths. Covered in leaves in Autumn they are. PhilX

    Larger Front ring gear haibike yamaha motor

    Mud likely caused by German electric bike being ridden along the pathway. The reference to the Somme is a subtle clue. Nope don't have any pics of bike wallowing in mud. The Downs are a bit muddy this end but not too bad. Found the Haibike to be a bit of a Panzer. I sometimes look at this...

    Larger Front ring gear haibike yamaha motor

    "My wife says I'm special but martin@ebikes obviously does not." There's no doubt in my mind that I'm special. I'd go as far as to say very special but unlike your wife I sense mine (think Sadie Stern) would be unlikely to agree. On the plus side I bet I could get a chain ring out of Martin if...

    Larger Front ring gear haibike yamaha motor

    "not for us to comment on the rights of wrongs or anyone else's business decisions..." Indeed... be assured through the eyes of a punter it doesn't look nice. Anyhowz... I bought a Haibike bike off Martin at ebike shoppe and if it went wrong I would expect him to give me a fair, efficient...

    Bosch battery endurance test

    Like you I've also been pleasantly surprised at the mileage you can get leaving it in turbo mode. It really is fun riding it this way. The bike must be about a year old and I haven't noticed any deterioration in battery performance. An Observation. I know fitting a dongle is popular with some...

    Speeding... Guardian article

    Obviously this is not correct since EC/81/82/83/999 when 568ml became the order of the day. In a forum where some members have the need to go bigger and to intercept the inevitable a 1136ml is available but I'm guessing this will be for off road drinking only. Doubt they'll be a waiver on this. Phil
