    Wear a helmet folks

    I think you are correct with this Roger. I live in Denmark and ride motorbikes and bikes. I wear a helmet for both, out of choice. Once I started wearing a vis vest on the motorbike the difference in other drivers reaction was astounding. They could see me at last and keep well out of the...

    crank sensor wires

    Thanks NRG. I have sorted the crank. It needs an ISIS Crank puller because the crank is hollow. I will order that and it will be here in a few days. Here are some photos of the connector. I hope these are ok. Steve

    crank sensor wires

    I am having a problem with Jannies Compy. Phil has sent me a new crank sensor with wire and connector attached. Neither the sensor or the connector will go through the hole where all the wires go through to the controller box. Is there a way I can remove the connector push the wires...

    Kalkhoff or Storck

    You are right about the weight Paul. I certainly would not like to lug the Enduro up a flight of steps. At the end of the day it is all about personal use and personal choice and there are loads of electric bikes to choose from and that is before you even start with the DIY builds. Keep...

    Kalkhoff or Storck

    I cannot comment on other bikes but I ride a Tonaro Enduro. I have a 22km ride to work every morning and it is all up and down. The Tonara has Zoom suspension on the front and although you average mountain biker would not look at it, it is very good for all the country and forest tracks I ride...

    Is this an electric bike or not? what do you think?

    I have seen this before with other cyclists and you will see it in this years tour. That is providing the mobile camera crews do not kill all of the riders. Steve

    Time for revision?

    I have owned 2 horses and Jannie has also owned 2 horses. It is like everything else unless we learn about something we are pretty ignorant. I used to think electric bikes were for old geezers just about to pop their clogs.....but I have educated myself ;Ø) Steve

    Time for revision?

    Hey Victor, Horses have every much as right to be on the road as old geezers with dodgy eyesight, dicky tickers and suspect reactions. In fact as you are a member in this forum I can only assume you are looking to save the planet so sell the car and buy a horse. Not only do you save the...

    The Long and Short of it

    Recumbents arte a very specialised piece of equipment and do not suit everyone. If you intend to go down this line you need to get out and try them first. Steve

    Am I being unreasonable?

    There are laws and rules and there is common sense. I don`t mind if you break the laws or rules but I really get peed off when people break the common sense rule. Steve

    Crank drive v hub drive

    I have the Tonaro Enduro and Jannie has the Tonaro Compy and we both really like them. The good thing with having the crank drive is that we do spend a lot of time on the flat, not using the motor. We can do this because the Tonaros ride like a normal bike when you turn the power off. We are...

    Pannier Opinions Please!

    Totally agree. Mine are always on my bike and still look like new after 3 years. You could probably sling these in the river with your gear in them and everything would still be dry. They are very popular with the round the world bikers so they cannot be that bad. Not cheap but worth...

    The Danish Tonaro Club

    Brian, there is no point in having a Tonaro if you don`t stop and enjoy it, is there? Here I am taking a break, on the way home from strawberry picking. Glad to hear you are enjoying your hols. Mine start next week but we are waiting to see what the weather does. Steve

    How do I go slower?

    I think we need to get away from the idea that electric bikes are only for the elderly and the infirm. I am new to this and that is the impression I had. I am 53 and regularly take my Trek Lexa SL for a 50km spin out before breakfast at the weekend. I also have a mountain bike and a Bacchetta...
