    Time for a new battery

    Don't you get frustrated when posters don't give the result after getting advice here? Apologies for not doing so. It was the cold that caused the battery slump. The batteries carried on for another 7 years & 3500 miles. They were recelled last year by Jimmy just before he went to Cyprus...

    More Seizures

    Here is one for the armchair lawyers:- What if you run over your own dog? I was riding my e-trike with my dog and 13yr old grandson in the front cargo box. Grandson wanted to cuddle the dog as we went along & unclipped the restraining lead. Dog jumped out of the box and I ran over her.

    Ride through Telford Town park and Race with Crank-drive Bike

    I used to spend a couple of days in Telford each year when I took my motorhome to Dave Newell to have it serviced. Would walk to Blists Hill Victorian town with my dog and spend the day there. Great place. One year I had to leave the motorhome with Dave as I had to get to the New Forest for a...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    Update:- Pedal sensor still not working but I have got the throttle to give full power using the P4 setting on KT LCD5. My riding style is to potter (8 to 12mph) without assistance until I need to ascend. I can now manage all the inclines I used to use but have been avoiding. Apologies if...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    My wife is never far from her iPhone &/or iPad. I just find IOS counterintuative. I'm not a technophobe. In the days of the Sinclair QL I used to write my own programs & be up half the night debugging. Over the years I've lost interest in the latest tech must haves. My laptops last me 8 -...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    It's the on screen keyboards. I hate them. Most of my contact is through laptop or desktop keyboards and texts on my big button phone. Now remembered I do still have a smartphone. A Motorola that I had to get when I bought a wireless speaker. Only way to get internet radio stations onto the...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    My family are all Apple nuts. I tried 2 iPhones. Arthritic hands & an old brain meant they went to a car boot sale. Big buttons rule!

    My location is in my profile:- Chandler's Ford halfway between Winchester & Southampton. I think I'm going to bring the trike back home and with the assistance of this forum and either a recommended company or my neighbour ( he built me a micro wire welder ) get it to what I want. I will...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    The pedal sensor was damaged when the chain came off due to rider error. A wire was broken on the receiver (I hope that's the correct term). I'm hopeless at anything practical so tried to find someone to repair it. None of those advertising ebike repairs would even look at it. Found a guy who...

    MiRider Bikes

    I have a GB3 on order but there is a delay. I spoke to staff on the MiRider stand at the NEC last month and they said they are waiting for gearbox parts. I had read about the GB3 and seen the mentioned video. When I took my trike to County eBikes, Andover for repair found they are MiRider...

Trike is tipping and I steer into kerb. Back end swings hard into the kerb as I come to a stop. Brake caliper bracket on frame cracked...
