Aye and some days I seldom see power level 5 except on the steep hills. Other days I only ever see power level 5.

I agree completely. That's why I don't want a torque sensor. There's nothing to beat getting to the top of a long hill then be able to relax with little work whilst the bike does it's own thing.

Theres a guy in my motorbike club who has a 3500 rover trike which he built himself. It is quite impressive going along the road.

Fair enough, it was you who brought motorbikes into it. As I said, which you seemed to disagree with, my house insurance covers my ebike for theft from my garage. It does not stipulate ANY locks on the bike. The thread was started about bikes getting stolen and the lengths which people go to to...

The reason I'm sure about it is, I've read my policy.

Which insurance company is your motorbike insured with? Do you have motorbike insurance? I've had many motorbikes over the years, the only stipulation is, if I'm within 0.5 of a mile from my house, it must be in a locked garage overnight. So, again, which insurance company is your motorbike...

My motor bike is in the garage and isn't secured with a ground anchor nor a gold standard chain. My insurance doesn't require it. It simply says the bike must be in a locked garage overnight. Which company is your motor bike insured with?

I think you'll find it doesn't.

I know I'm different from everyone else and I realise I live in Utopia. However, I bought an ebike, I stuck it on my home insurance, I lock the garage at night and I sleep soundly. I don't put a lock on the bike when it's in the garage. Stop fretting about what might/probably will never...

It's great when you put a strava time in with a non ebike and realise you're not last.

Only one way to find out, stand at the bus stop with the bike folded up at your side. When the driver lets you on and says "where to?" Just say "anywhere, just give me a nudge in 20 miles". ;) Welcome to the forum.

Just so you know, NO wife is low maintenance.

It's amazing that anyone ever thought that was a good idea.

In the first test where you stayed legal you mentioned the times being almost the same but you used less effort on the ebike. You proved that an ebike can do the job easier than a normal bike. You did some good tests and anyone considering a Typhoon or any ebike will have found the posts valuable.

A very good report on the bike. When I first got my Typhoon I did a 30 mile trip and my butt was in agony after it. I put a new saddle on it, gel padded, and don't suffer as much now.

On a couple of occasions I've got rid of the cut off speed, it certainly makes it a different weapon. On one occasion, I went hammering up a hill passing a load of young'uns on bikes. I'm a crazy old fool. I'm not sure the OP would get 22 miles if he did that though, maybe I'll give it a go and see.

Are you sure it's in top gear? I've had my Typhoon faster than that on the flat. Not for long admittedly and my legs were spinning faster than a man of my years should.

Welcome. Have you really been a member for 3 years before making your first posting? :)

Best thing, being able to go good distances and not worry about hills. Worst thing, emmmm nothing.

I have 2 ebikes, both of which could do your 25 mile each way commute but I'd need to take 2 batteries or take my charger and fully charge the battery at work. I've travelled 45 miles on one of the bikes and enjoyed myself, I wasn't leaving at 04:00 and HAVING to be at work a couple of hours...
