    Eventually there comes a time to give it a rest. In my opinion, for you, that time is now.

    I'm tea total but if you buy me a pint of draught IRN BRU I'll come with you.

    OK, since the thread has gone to Obama, he was disgraceful in what he said. He has always claimed we had a special relationship then says if we don't do what HE wants, he'll cut us off. However, the most disgraceful thing about it was, Dave Cameron stood there like a little child instead of...

    Hill climbing with throttle kalkhoff alternative

    Ok, this thread is now 3 pages long. The OP came on and asked a question. He received a couple of replies. He then came back and thanked the posters for those replies. Since then the thread has been filled with a lot of arguments, some from people who never read the first post, about different...

    Did you read the OP? The lady tires easily, why would you recommend a torque sensor to her?

    Leaving the EU

    Where were you during the referendum debate? You could have swung it to a yes vote. :) I'm actually 1/2 Irish, 1/4 Italian and 1/4 Scottish. I'm tea total. No wonder I get confused. ;)

    Leaving the EU

    One can only live in hope. Actually I quite like being British, if only England would stop voting Tory it would be a nice country. ;)

    Leaving the EU

    I don't know how to vote in this referendum. David Cameron wants to stay in, so I should want to leave. However, Boris wants to leave, so I should want to stay in. Typical Tories, they can't stick together so that I can vote against them.

    Welcome to the mad house.

    Kudos Duke Motor not engaging?

    A couple of things come to mind: 1, make sure the cable connector near the back wheel is fully shoved in. 2, check the pedal sensor is close enough to the magnets on the crank. I've had both of those issues over the years. The magnet thing was caused by mud on a canal tow path cleared by...

    1 Path, 2 bikes. Quite a difference.

    Aye, I just hadn't realised how good the Typhoon was. Actually, the path I was on had lots of small bumps along the entire length. Normally the roads I'm on have pot holes which can be avoided, the bumps on the path were unavoidable. Now I have to go back down on the Typhoon and try again...

    1 Path, 2 bikes. Quite a difference.

    Out on the Typhoon last week and cycled along a path in Grangemouth as the road was busy with petrol and chemical tankers. Everything was fine and no problems. Today I was out on the Tourer and used the same path. Now, the difference was amazing. The path was so bumpy the bike and my teeth were...

    First time out for 3 months.

    I'm in the middle of renovating a house so haven't been out to play for ages. Today I decided on a quick trip on the Tourer. It felt great to get back out again. So, the renovation can slow down a bit. I'm going out more often. I'm not sure the renovation can slow down since I'm going pretty...

    Is £800 enough money to spend on an everyday ride to work bike.

    That's the only important thing when buying an ebike. If you're happy and like it, then it's the bike for you. :)
