I came across this today and couldn't find anything on the forum about it so was wondering if anyone knows a bit more about it. I've read through their website but can't find any mention of the motor size or if the throttle only works when you are pedaling so difficult to say if it would be road...

Let me start by saying I don't want to see compulsory helmet wearing for cycling in the UK. I support freedom of choice and people taking responsibility for their choices. Over my life I've had five serious head injuries requiring stitches or staples, the worst took 27 stitches, none of these...

For me it's hi-viz in the day time with flashing lights and reflective jacket in the dark and steady lights.

Great looking bike keep enjoying it.

125cc learner bikes are capable of greater speeds yet we don't see every teenager who crashes them threatening to sue the manufacturer, but then he is in America.

I considered the Swytch kit a couple of years ago even registered but having read reviews including one where it had taken well over a year to get the kit . That was enough for me and when they released the pre order I decided not to order. They bombarded me with emails and even offered a...

Typical lazy journalism again and still falsely reporting Simon Cowell's accident as happening on an e-bike. The basic premise of this article seems to be to advise against using conversion kits...

I absolutely agree about the price for a charger being ridiculous but to suggest that Raleigh bikes are just cheap imported frames re-branded as Raleigh is equally ridiculous. Many of the cheap created brands are just as you describe but Accell don't play in that market. The issues with the...

I would strongly advise you to consider a lot more options as has already been suggested. I test rode at least 30 bikes before making my final decision. Until you ride the various bikes and motor systems you won't know what YOU like. There is some fantastic advise from incredibly knowledgeable...

Due to past experiences I always contact the police for every accident regardless of damage, injury or blame. I was involved in an incident with a van driver which the police refused to attend as there were no injuries. I later discovered the van was uninsured had no tax or mot and he had...

I have a 2019 Cube Town hybrid SL 500 with Bosch ALP and the nexus 8 with Di2 shift. I've had no issues so far and am very happy with the bike. I researched a long time before buying and ALL ebike motors have problems, the ebr forum had lots of information on known issues with all the main...

I've been considering these for my Raleigh Pioneer as I've problems with carpal tunnel syndrome. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GPM926K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8kuuFb0TSCTTQ

Enjoy using it that's a great looking bike. Love the colour.

I bought a Cube town hybrid SL500 a few months back. It has the Active Line Plus and Nexus 8 hub gears and it cruises up hills with ease. I am regularly covering 25 to 35 miles per ride and still have 4 bars on the battery indicator. I really love the bike. I also had a recent brief ride of the...

It's no different to the speedometer on a car, it's set based on the original specifications so when you change wheel or tyre size this will give a false reading. I've used a Garmin GPS and my phone's GPS to check my Bosch intuvia and all give slightly different readings for speed and distance...
