Yes Large hub motor in the front, Nexus 7 speed hub in the back If you are ever anywhere close you`d be welcome to have a try - it does everything I wanted - must get the 2000 mile review typed up and posted! All the best Bob_about

Hi, Interesting thread this one, and one which does not mirror especially closely my experiences with my Ezee Sprint. I accept that I am reasonably fit, reasonably light and put in a fair bit of effort, but my experiences of pedaling without or above asistance seem altogether different to...

Claim your lane! Sorry to hear you ended up in a hedge - hope you are OK? On my largely rural commute (followed by a few miles in town) I must admit I do give a damm what is behind me and keep a very careful eye on whats happening back there via my mirror and glances back over my shoulder. I...

Not suitable for E-Bikes, but I know many on here have unassisted bikes too.. Locks to roof and locks bike in place Easy to fit and use if you can lift your bike and reach your car roof! I`m so short I dropped the bike the second time I used it and fell over backwards - needless to say...

I`m not beyond the warranty period yet, but my experience of Andrew & co so far is that they will not end up rich men! I`ve had a couple of tweaks and changes at my request carried out for free with accompanying cups of coffee, test rides on new bikes in, and general chat about experiences with...

Afraid I`m not that technical in my knowledge - I had the parallel wiring done at OnBike at the point at which I bought the Sprint GTS so it was all covered by the warranty. I`m not sure if diodes are involved or not, but the OnBike website does have some technical data sheets available in...

Hi Geostorm After a fair bit of research I opted for a dual battery set up and have both a 14Ah Li+ Poly and an 8.1Ah LiFePO4 wired in parallel. The 14Ah is behind the seat and the LiFePO4 is on the special double layer rack which OnBike / Ezee supply - the double decker feature means it can...

Excellent sticker - on many levels - I used to live close to the Norfolk/Suffolk border (Loddon) and can relate to that! Now Fishermen, and conservation, and access to rivers, and disputes with kayakers - there is a whole can of worms which would make the occasional accusation of cheating...

Yep - the use of the motor definitely constitutes cheating - well known fact beyond reproach. 4x4s arriving at a car park adorned with mountain bikes and then parking at a "jaunty" angle on the earth bund is nothing more than what nature intended however - definitely no cheating there...

You got it just about right already Hi Vikki I`ve been back through this thread again - its interesting how it has mooved on a bit and gained a bit of a focus on weight loss through exercise Going back to your original post and the questions "can it get better" and "is it all really worth...

A little at a time.... Hi Vikki Well done on the progress with the non leccy trike and getting that increase over the first month - its a great feeling when things get noticeably better over a short period. As for the plateau effect, the only way to get beyond it is to push a little...

Suzi Perry on an Ezee Forza with a big smiley grin on her face - I`d be lying if I said it had no impact on my taking a fuirther look at e-bikes last year ! My wife and daughter still cannot see the attraction - of Suzi or the ebike and have concluded that I am shallow and easily led! Quite...

37 miles Having spent years driving to and from the office covering 20 miles each way I planned earlier this year to switch to using an ebike and beleived I would be covering 200 miles a week doing just that. Reality has been a little different; First I managed to find a "quieter" route...

First - I have tried the search function, but didnt get much response ref the use of dry lube on chains. From what I can see there appear to be "dry" chain lube options which claim to attract less dirt. One recommended alot by motorcyclists is Wurth dry chain lube, and wiggle appear to have a...

Let your local council know.... I agree fly tippers are scum Couldnt beleive I cycled past a dumped leather chesterfield three piece suite a few weeks back! Not sure iif this applies to all Councils, but I let our Council know, with a map, and it was removed 24 hours later. I got the...

By way of comparison.... Kayakers can be just as bad, if not worse! Its not uncommon to have a small freestyle boat for mucking about and doing "tricks" in, but never to paddle any significant distance; a larger boat for river running, but still sharp enough to manouver and play on waves...

Mmmmm Merino I think the Karrimor shorts were a tenner on half price offer in the store (with the padded leggings at 12.99) which I was happy to pay. Been looking at Merino undies, but not bought them yet. Currently all my cycling gear needs a wash each day! The stuff from these guys...

Hi there, As the weather got warmer and I still wanted to put a fair bit of effort in I had similar "interface" problems with my cotton boxers and "normal" sports shorts. I have since started wearing Helly Henson "Helly Dry" boxers which wick well and avoid the wet cotton rag around your...

Purpose I spend most of my day at work talking to people about purpose. This is another case in point - what is your purpose? a, purpose of entering the charity cycle ride? b, purpose of considering riding an e-bike? The answers to these questions may be many and varied and may...

In my humble opinion........ If the light sensor is obvious, I`d simply put a bit of tape over it so the lights are permenantly on. Integrated lights on an e-bike use such a small amount of power compared to the motor that I see no advantage in having them turned off, and personally always...
