    Will Throttles be Throttled By The EU? :confused:

    I live in Denmark and have a throttle on my Tonaro Enduro. The chances on getting stopped on a bike in Denmark are slim. The chances of getting stopped by a police officer who knows throttles on electric bikes are illegal are even slimmer. It is ok making laws like this but as an ex police...

    Fastest speed on an e.bike.....just for fun

    This is just for fun and for those kamakaze riders like me. What is the fastest you have ridden on an e-bike? I have just managed 52 KPH, and that is 32.31 MPH. I did try to go faster but my little legs would not do it. Plus I cheated a bit and turned the power off to go down the hill...

    Battery connection question

    Being new to electric bikes, I have a question about battery connections. I have seen that batteries come in all shapes and sizes but I would like to know if battery connections are standard or does each bike maker produce connections specifically for their bikes so it is difficult to use...

    I think this will be a case of you get what you pay for. I hope you prove me wrong. Steve

    has anyone switched to a road bike after using the elecs?

    I have had my Tonaro Enduro for a little over a week now and use it mainly for my 43km round trip to work. Before that I used my TREK Lexa SL racing bike. With the TREK I used to make the one way trip in about 55 minutes but it was a hard slog at 5am in the morning and with a couple of nasty...

    Powerpedals out of Enduros

    Business must be booming for Phil at Powerpedals, he is out of Enduros and the next batch is due in around August time. I am having great fun with my Enduro. My 22km ride to work is taking 40 minutes with little effort, just what I needed. The ride home is 35 minutes. Jannie also wanted an...

    Questions for Dealers.

    But this can also be like taking the stand "I have insurance, what is the problem" That is until you make a claim and watch how many hoops they will jump through to make sure they don`t have to pay out. In my opinion asking these type of questions of a dealer makes perfect sense. It...

    Tonaro Enduro without power....Video

    When we were out on this ride we came to a hill with a down slope of about 1km. We stopped the bikes and we freewheeled all the way down. The electric bike won over the racer by about a metre and the bike had it`s power turned off. I have just ordered some smoother road tyes as I do not need...

    Tonaro Enduro without power....Video

    Here is a little clip I made today to see how the Enduro goes without the power turned on. Jannie was the tester. You can hear we had a pretty strong wind to contend with as well. I had no chance of staying anywhere near her on my racing bike. It was good to see that at least I can ride the...

    Buying from the USA?

    Sorry Flecc, I misunderstood. I will look more closely at that. Do you think they could send me a Moto Guzzi by this method ;Ø) Steve

    Panniers on a Tonaro

    I am sure I read a thread about panniers on a Tonaro recently and thought I would share this with you. Putting panniers on a Tonaro is very easy to do. I "borrowed" Jannies seat post rack from her racing bike and put it on my Enduro and my Ortileb bags just clipped straight on. I secured...

    Buying from the USA?

    But don`t forget that if you do buy from the USA you will be clobbered by import tax when it arrives in the EU. Steve

    Thanks for this Brian. Mine is working perfectly but I wondered what that attachment on the front wheel was for. I am glad you got it sorted out. Steve

    It is a Schwalbe tyre so of course it is worth the hassle. Steve

    2 months of Tonaro Bighit

    I find there is a big difference in the 3 settings. I have not had any problems with the brakes at all. The wheel just slotted in when I got the bike and they worked fine right from the start. Maybe you need to speak to Phil about the setting button. Steve

    2 months of Tonaro Bighit

    Hi Marcus, I had my Tonaro Enduro delivered to Denmark at the beginning of the week. The only problem I had was that the gear lever was on the left and all the numbers were upside down, which I thought to be quite strange. I simply changed the throttle to the left and the gears to the right...

    Tonaro Enduro arrived

    Hi Trex, I only got the bike yesterday and have not got used to it yet but I did ride 2 hills that I usually battle up with my road bike. I am quite fit and did pedal up in the lightest assist and it was a doddle to what I usually endure. I only had 3 lights left on the battery when I got it...

    Tonaro Enduro arrived

    It is exactly the same Jerry. The bike on the video is the Bighit which is a little over 2kg heavier than the Enduro but they both have the same power unit. Steve

    Tonaro Enduro arrived

    Just a quick post to let you all know that my Tonaro Enduro arrived in Denmark today. The first to enter the country. 10 minutes after opening the box I was pedalling down the road. There were a couple of issues that I will not mention at the moment as I have just e-mailed Phil and I am...

    Bighit arrives - First impressions

    With regards to your grips. A quick squirt inside with hairspray or shaving foam will do the trick. It allows you to get the grips on but then dries tacky. Steve
