    First Ebike Purchase review: ex demo KTM

    The amount of discount is irrelevant, that was the price you asked for the bike. I also doubt if the OP cares about a few extra miles, that was just something that irked her after the way she was treated. The real problem was the ham fisted muppet who ruined the bike before you sent it out. You...

    E-Biking, Doing It The Greek Way!

    I'm not at all jealous, no, not at all. I mean, I live near a harbour, ok, it's filled with oil tankers and cargo boats but I live near hills too. It's warmish here and we have cafés although you don't sit outside much at this time of the year. OK, I'm jealous. ;) I do, however, have 2 Kudos...

    Typhoon Owners

    I got a puncture just after I got the Typhoon. I'm sure I just pulled them apart but can't remember. I'll gave a look later.

    Kalkhoff Battery issue

    If I had one that did that, I'd be on here boasting about it. ;)

    Kalkhoff Battery issue

    There is no way the battery can know how far you will go since there is no way for it to know the route you will take, what weight you are or how hard you will pedal. There is only one way for you to know how far the battery lasts is to go out and use the bike. When it goes flat then you know...

    Lands End to John O Groats - Unsupported

    Well done Penny, that was a great achievement.

    Lands End to John O Groats - Unsupported

    Having the bottle to do it solo isn't the problem, having the bottle to do it at all is my problem. ;)

    Strava Electric Bike Club

    I can't see how to do it from the app, it's probably a lot easier just to click the link in th OP.

    Strava Electric Bike Club

    I see there's 6 members and 3 of us are posting rides. It's good to see what others are up to on their ebikes.

    I've joined it but I'm nowhere near Bristol.

    Range query

    Some people say fully discharge a couple of times then charge regularly, others say don't bother with the couple of discharges. I'm not a battery expert, I just re-charge whenever I use the bike.

    Range query

    I would always charge the battery everyday if commuting. It's better to have plenty of charge left when coming home than to be wondering if you're going to make it. Your range doesn't sound to bad if it's hilly. Never trust the LEDs on the battery or the power meter on the computer. You...

    Rumbled

    I cycle properly too, it's those loonies on bikes with no battery who are not right. ;)

    It's on Strava.com If you join it you can either record your rides on the strava app on a smartphone or use a Garmin GPS then send the tracking of your run to Strava. When you then look at your run on there, you will see that others have been on the same bits of road as you, known as segments...

    I suppose that means that Australia now sends their illegal ebike riders to us. :)

    Rumbled

    Ok, today was the Glasgow to Edinburgh run with 'pedal for Scotland' I wasn't doing the run but had arranged to meet a young chap and his sister when they reached the halfway point which is close to my home. Now, there was a reason we'd set up this meeting. He'd recently beat a Strava time of...

    Lands End to John O Groats - Unsupported

    I'm impressed, when are you planning on travelling through Central Scotland? I might keep an eye out for you.

    Wiggo and Cav in ToB

    It would be rude not to. Mind you, when Wiggo overtakes you on the hill you might look a wee tad silly. ;)

    Electric Mountain Bike

    No, the throttle only goes at walking speed. If you want to wizz around at top speed though, simply turning the pedals without any pressure on them will take you to top speed.

    Wiggo and Cav in ToB

    I got excited when I spotted it. However, on checking the website I see the Tour of Britain is actually a tour of South England and a bit of Wales. HMM the organisers surely realise we haven't voted to break free yet. Or, do they know something I don't? ;)
