Described as a Wristband Rear View Mirror on Ebay for £5.99 . I fully recommend it .

After finding the ones clamped to bars tend to get in the way storing or coming loose , I find the one attached to the wrist with Velcro to be the best . Handy if you have several bikes as your wrist stays with you .

Far simpler and cheaper to issue them with broom handles .

Well done Raleighguy , luckily I made the same decision at 70 which enables me to ride 52 mile round trips in a day at 86 years of age . If it wasn`t for Ebikes I certainly wouldn`t be riding bikes now , only on my Motorcycles .

Morgan sell 30% of their Cars to America and are going to share the increased cost with their Dealers there .

As it will be your first foray into Ebikes B Ikeman why are you considering faffing about with Kits ? Why not get one already built ? The amount you are prepared to spend is at the top end of Budget . Better to purchase a cheaper bike , get used to it and then you will have the knowledge ...

Rather than suggesting that cheaper Chinese Ebikes will be a kick in the teeth for our Producers , credit should be given to them for making Ebikes mainstream in the first place . Fourteen years ago I bought my first Ebike a Chinese built Batribike Quartz for £700 which people thought very...

Adrian Chiles did a fair job on the subject but the Telegraph Reporter like Daily Mail staff seem to have it in for Ebikes as well as Scooters .

The rims on my Batribike Quartz wore through and split . The front wheel contains the Motor and there were no obvious connections to disconnect the Motor wires and remove the wheel . I contacted C H White of Malmesbury , Wilts and they said to drop the bike in . They laced a new rim to the...

Three of those 5 bikes in the picture are Allegro`s . I must confess that I hadn`t heard of this Make . Googling put me right and on looking at the prices these appear to be at the top end for Chinese Fat Tyre Ebikes . The power outputs in some cases exceed the legal limit . Not sure what...

I thought the Rider`s were the dangerous part not the E machines . The continual coverage of this topic in the Press is giving us all a bad name .

Yes I noticed the rust on the sprockets and spindle nut , but thought` it can`t be `. The Tester seems to have it it for 6 months and seems far too big for it .

Steeve when you test that Estarli on Monday take it on some rougher ground that you might ride in the future like towpaths etc. The front forks do not have suspension and the seat tube carries the batteries, so will not take a seat suspension post which always softens the ride for the posterior...

Very sorry to hear that Guerney , he did several re-cells for me over the years . RIP Jimmy and my thoughts are with the Family on this sad occasion .

The most common batteries on the Standard Chinese Ebikes over the last 14 years are the Silver Fish type that are attached to the seat downtube , they slide down a rail and are located with a plunger . Replacements are reasonably priced and plentiful compared to the scores of oddly shaped ones...
