Bighit Hi Ceri, I just saw your intro post where you said you were getting a Bighit. I was just wondering if it had arrived and if so could you talk me through the unpacking, assembly and first ride impressions? The reason that I ask is that I am looking for my first electric bike and...

:D WAIT A MINUTE ;) You cannot just leave like that. How can you start a thread "My bike fell in a river" and just leave it. What is the rest of the story? Steve

Here is a link to Powerpedals homepage. Home Page of Powerpedals electric bicycles Steve

Here is a clip of the Bighit from Youtube. It is a bit blurry but you can see what it can do. I mailed the guy who posted this clip and he said it was a great bike but would change the tyres if it was just to be used on the road. He had also changed the pedals and said it was a fantastic...

I am a cyclist and motorcyclists and always wear a vis vest when I get on either. Vis vests used to scorned by the motorcycle fraternity but they are getting more and more common, in Denmark anyway. On the motorbike I wear a yellow vis vest. The bike moves fast and a fast moving yellow vest...

I have a Trek mountain bike and a Trek road bike as does my partner Jannie. My in laws both have Treks as does my brother in law and his wife. My 2 nephews both bought new Treks on Friday. As you can see we are a Trek family. They are really good bikes for any occasion. However. When I...

I also wear the Altura Night Vision jacket and it is a wonderful piece of equipment. Worth every penny. I got mine sent by Evans Cycles. I use Rainlegs during the summer and full length rain trousers in the winter. Steve

I have a Brookes Flyer and for a about a year it has been a PITA...literally. I have perservered because it really is a work of art and design. To begin with I could have hammered nails in with it as it was that hard. It was also like riding on an ice block. I have it dead level and it is...

Steamairy, thanks for the link to Freego Hawk Bikes. That is another one for me to look at. I have a £7000 Moto Guzzi California and I secure it with a 2m x 5mm stainless steel wire that I made myself. The end rings are pressed to 3 tons and although the wire can be cut with bolt croppers...

It is wedding mad here and I am in Denmark. The wedding is on the TV at the moment and I finished work at lunchtime. No Day off for me I am afraid. I have the George Cross and Union Jack flying in the garden...big ones. I do not mind flying them as my taxes are not paying for this bash...

Lets hope those Somali pirates don`t know about that then.:D I have seen on here how all the different bike dealers recommend each other. It gives you confidence that they are not all sharks and bandits. The honesty is refreshing. Steve

No you are not wrong Harry and I must admit that does put a different tilt on it. I live out in the sticks and don`t encouter red lights unless I go into town. Most of the time we are not on the same road as the traffic or if we are we have a segregated area to ride in. The traffic keeps out...

Oh come on referee blatant touting :D Steve

Thats why I didn`t go into detail about the horsey stuff Flecc. I didn`t know if it was an old wives tale. I like the idea of a centre stand on a cycle. They are quite popular in Denmark. My Guzzi has a side stand and centre stand :D Steve

I agree that there are grey areas in law but failing to stop at a traffic light is pretty much an absolute law unless we want to go into the realms of fantasy. This proceeding carefully across red lights and ending up in court trying to plead your case will not change the law in any way but...

The horsey bit was because of where the gentlemen carried their swords. My Moto Guzzi California, which is Italian, has the sidestand on the left. Now that may not be of any importance but it gives me a chance to post a photo of my bike :D Steve

I know by personal experience that this is the best way to learn a lesson. I am sure you will not be banging down any kerbs in the near future. :D Steve

I am sorry but I do not believe that road traffic law was ever put in place so we can then debate what is legally right and morally right about it. If that was the case then everybody would be turning up in court with all types of excuses. The laws are written literally in black and white...

Just don`t be so clever. If you ever meet this guy going up a set of steps carrying your TREK he will know it is an electric bike. I picked one up the other day and it is heavier than my 65cc motorbike. :) Steve

I am quite surprised that people think it is ok to ride through a red light, even if it is "Carefully". I can ride my Moto Guzzi through red lights carefully but I bet all hell would let loose if I got caught doing it. If you cannot slow down on the approach to a red light and judge it...
