    Which bike maintenance stand?

    I have the Aldi one which is good but not ideal with a rear hub motor, even with the battery off balance can be a problem.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    When the car makers issue a recall, not always safety related, there is never any issue about from whom/when the vehicle was purchased. I would have thought a recall for a software update to prevent motor failure was something a car maker would do - even if just to prevent warranty claims.

    Can you imagine garages saying they will only service cars they have sold?

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    They do seem a bit of a mishmash, did I miss the definition of a racing bike? They seem to be exempt from everything.

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Could someone just explain simply to me how the dumping is defined? I assume it is more than just low labour rates as that could apply to many countries outside the EU. Are individual companies subsidised by the Chinese government and if so which ones and how? Is it via tax breaks and if so do...

    Is that just pop out the old one as in it comes out easily or like in the Haynes manuals which has used to say may need a slight tap, meaning two of you and a sledge hammer and industrial press?

    problems with Panda eBikes

    I don't see why you have to supply tracking data to PayPal if you are making the claim for undelivered goods, Panda are the ones who have broken the contract Even if you pass the PayPal time limit you still have the option of the small claims court.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Are there any details as to what she has done to get it registered. From the photo I wouldn't have thought the brake levers would have been acceptable.

    This looks like an accident waiting to happen ~ and that's a hell of a low gearing judging by her pedaling.

    Need some spacers

We can now get anything at the click of a button but at a £1 each for a small nut or a bolt and waiting a week (thinking more of my motorcycle here ).

    Talking of gutless wonders can I also nominate the Philips Panda, there was a good reason not many were ever seen on the road

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    You can use the ebike as an ordinary bike but that wont stop it being an ebike or stop you committing an offence.
