    Daytime Lights

    Had a chap coming towards us the other day with a flashing light at the front,in daylight it still was very noticeable and i think it was just one of the cheapish battery operated units.

    Realative AH

    Think my careless rambling may have mislead you,my intention is to re battery the the old powabyke euro with SLA,then run it for a while,first to see if i enjoy it as much as i used to second to see if that combination gives me the range i want. The question about equivalent modern battery's and...

    Realative AH

So next could i expect a 36 volt 10AH modern battery on 24 kg bike to match the range of a 36volt 15AH SLA on my 38kg Powabyke. I know...

    Realative AH

    Ime sure in my recent reading of the forum some one said a modern battery for a given AH has more juice than an old SLA but i cant find it now. Are they equivalent if not is it possible to say how much difference there is. Thanks

    Is this correct

    Just read it all this guy is in my opinion advocating what could be a dangerous action,drilling your battery cover to fit it. This item is brand new and easy to fit. Simply engrave or stamp (3mm recomended) the required details in the relevant spaces. There are stamping kits in my e-bay...

    Cycle chain and Lock query

    Our local Asda has the bike shed in front of the main doors,the security guard said they just walk up and cut the chains ect no matter who is about as no one attempts to stop them,being 65 and nowhere near as fit and strong as i was 20 years ago i can understand that

    Bike to suit me? - short, heavy and unconfident rider

    Going to be stupid here but someone needs to be,you say budget is not a great concern,well how about a tow bar on the car and a tow bar mounted rack for two ebikes,that way you can buy purely for comfort riding and not think about loading in the car. You and your daughter could have long days...
