    Tonaro Enduro without power....Video

    Here is a little clip I made today to see how the Enduro goes without the power turned on. Jannie was the tester. You can hear we had a pretty strong wind to contend with as well. I had no chance of staying anywhere near her on my racing bike. It was good to see that at least I can ride the...

    Panniers on a Tonaro

    I am sure I read a thread about panniers on a Tonaro recently and thought I would share this with you. Putting panniers on a Tonaro is very easy to do. I "borrowed" Jannies seat post rack from her racing bike and put it on my Enduro and my Ortileb bags just clipped straight on. I secured...

    It was touch and go

    At the weekend I had a dilema. Do I buy a Tonaro Enduro or do I buy that lovely Royal Enfield 350cc for my next winter project. The e-bay countdown button was clicking down and even with a minute to go I was undescided. I could have got it for less that the Enduro and it was so nice. But I...

    How do you transport your bike/s?

    In the not too distant future we hope to have 2 electric bikes. They are obviously a lot heavier than our road bikes even with their batteries removed. I would just like to know how other forum members transport their bikes from place to place when they are not riding them. Steve
