    Large frame Agutta on e-Bay from 50cycles

    I think he is one half of the pair of trolls that have recently descended on the site, so probably not bother!

    Got my wisper!

    I've fixed a kryptonite d-lock to the front fork on my Wisper. Doesn't have a noticeable impact on handling and the curved down-tube means there's plenty of clearance when turning.

    Tour of Britain stage 3 route

    It just sounded like the ulitmate in e-biking excess - using batteries as consumables and just chucking them away to lighten the load, without even stopping the bike!

    Powacycle Salisbury LPX Mystery Cable

    Sorry I don't know the answer to your query but I'll have a think about it and compare with other controllers I've seen. I just wanted to say what an excellent drawing!

    Winter Commuter

    Nice one, Andy - the ultimate long-range, high speed cruiser of e-bikes! Looks pretty decent as well. Andy or Flecc, what is the cruise control modification? I'm intrigued; I've been looking for something to do that for a while and had missed this. Frank
