Hello All, Rather than scroll through potentially hours of forums finding conversations about lights (and I know there are plenty), I have found this one. Lezyne Power Drive Light | Buy Online | ChainReactionCycles.com What do you all think. I can't afford the mega lights but something...

Yet people still want to talk about it... Anyway, I have enjoyed reading the can of worms that I opened. My next thread will be about me achieving 40mph up a 1in6

me to! :-)

Look, I know this is a contentious issue. There are those that feel duty bound not to wear a helmet. It's not the law after all. Not here to tell the determined few what to do. but this is a compelling reason for wearing a helmet. ‪A personal appeal from James Cracknell - Use your head...

I am sorry to read this. As you say, PJM, it could be a used one. I have to say though. I commute daily on some tough short and long hills. Each way, my route is between 7 - 8 miles, with a long 2 mile up hill and at two very steep, shorter inclines. I can drain the battery in one journey...

I can understand why people would want to have a 'dislike' button but I think its a bit 'hit and run' negative. I think we should all be positive or constructive/polite in our responses, personally. I think a dislike button could be taken badly and cause ill feeling to the recipient.

Mucky beast. I bet you keep dirty net curtains as well. Errrr...

Hi, I am thinking of doing something similar. I know that on traditional LCD screens, so for e.g., the PSP, they can be a little tricky to see in sunlight. However, if you get something with an OLED (possibly expensive) I believe (although I would have to be sure first) that you can see in...

I am a newbie and love my new e-bike but I also love this forum. People patiently answering questions that must have been asked many times before and for that, I thank you all. If ever I get a chance to help anyone go through the pre-purchase and purchase process, I will help when I feel...

Thanks everyone. I have checked with home insurer who say that my bike is insured also away from the house but oh no, not if its an e-bike - Doh! It's as if I have two heads or something. Not sure that public liability is a problem. I am very careful, especially when people are around and...

Thank you so much everyone. I have to say, I find this forum so supportive and friendly and being the newbie I am, I love how you all patiently answer questions that must have been asked so many times before. I promise to help others wherever I can. I hope that I can pay back some time.

There certainly should be a warranty! I am yet to register mine but I will. Just because they are flogging them off cheap doesn't mean that they come without, ... does it? As for replacement parts, I was not clever enough to look into that before purchasing. I just assumed that there would be...

It comes mostly built. Just need to snip off the cable ties (although not all of them, so be careful), remove some protective cardboard, adjust the handle bars, a couple of other bits. Nothing major and you only need adjustable spanner, Allen key set. Screw on the peddles and you are done. First...

thanks for all this. I get the bit about clothing. Just wondered how bikes perform on ice and snow. Is it just too dangerous? What happens with the motored wheel for e.g., does it wheel spin allot, am I likely to fall off allot?

I know, I know. Wrong time of year... Now my old car is off the road. I have committed to riding to work through the winter too. :D What do other riders do about snow and ice? Do you dare go out in it? Probably not, right? I have never ridden in snow, so I don't know how dangerous it is...

Hi All, Would love to hear about people's opinions on insurance. I have a few questions, if anyone can answer them? 1. Who are the best insurance providers? 2. where can the best prices be found? 3. Roadside assistance. Is this worth it? ...really? 4. Public liability? Again, is this in...

Congratulations on your purchase. I too would love to see this bike. I did loads of research before buying mine and I didn't come across this model.

Hi, I'm a newb. Just got a Schwimm Tailwind and love it. Just overtaken my first drop handlebar crowd and couldn't feel better about myself :-)

I have just been out again on it for a 5 miler and overtook my first drop handlebar brigade going up hill. Ha ha ha. it was great. Oh and didn't they try to keep up. I then went downhill and they still couldn't catch me... love it! I am the best! ner ner nu ner ner e.t.c.

Yes, the bike is a heavy one with or without the battery, actually. However, this kind of adds in some way to the smoothness of the ride. I can pick it up but then I'm a big strong boy. I think they have made a few mods from the earlier version of this particular model, although I note you are...
