    Best Looking E-bikes!

    Send your demo to me for a few weeks, I'll try it on our roads with lots of hills and even more potholes. ;) I'm not sure which is worse, the potholes or the hills. I'll even post an honest appraisal with some punctuation and everything. ;)

    Best Looking E-bikes!

    In the thread 'cooler designs' I said people like a bike to look like a bike and that change should be slow and gradual. That bike is what I meant, it looks like a modern version of a traditional style. Now! Where's the mudguards? ;)

    Cooler designs

    The bikes in the OP's post are ugly in the extreme. They may look OK sitting in some arty farty exhibition in London but you'd not sell many up here. British people of the generation who buy e-bikes are generally conservative in their tastes and believe a bike should look like a bike and their...

    Bosch Tuning dongles arrived today - 50kph cut off..

    That doesn't sound correct, surely for the same motor to get the same bike and rider up to 50kmh it needs the same power from the battery no matter what mode it's set to.

    The Kudos 'Ambassador' Scheme

    I was out ambassadoring today. (is ambassadoring a word?) Anyway for nearly two years the two guys in the Barbers' shop have been sniggering* about my e-bike, until today. I was cycling up the hill passed their shop when I saw them both outside so I gave them both a shot. They were quite...

    Hello From Scotland

    To be honest, it's not been a bad week for weather since you got the bike. I've had mine out a couple of times so far.

    Weather is changing at last

    Up here in Falkirk today it's even warmer. 17 miles away in Queensferry it's foggy and cold. It's a fickle country up here.

    Weather is changing at last

    It was about 8 degrees when out on the bike and sadly, it got warmer when I got home. :)

    Weather is changing at last

    The better weather seems to be coming at last. I've been out on the bike on the last 2 days and hopefully should get out a few more times this week. Roll on the Summer.

    Trade Free Sunday

    Speaking as someone who is religious, (there's a surprise for you ) I can go to the Chapel on a Sunday then nip next door to the pub for a pint and on the way home go to Halfords and buy a bike. Next stop would be Tesco's for some shopping. I don't see why trade members should stop posting on...

    The Kudos 'Ambassador' Scheme

    Aye, Eve demonstrated an apple to Adam, he liked it, bought one and she got £100 from the Devil. I like the Kudos scheme better, there's less to worry about with regards to my soul.

    Kudo Ambassador..a lighter story.

    Hech, the problem with overtaking a fit cyclist while you're going up a hill is, the hill WILL come to an end then he/she is bearing down on you along the flat road. When that happens you just know there isn't going to be a turn off for miles. :)

    Kudo Ambassador..a lighter story.

    Probably not if you're talking to a semi pro commonwealth games rider. ;) I haven't signed up for it yet, it was just going through my mind when I passed the man. ;)

    Kudo Ambassador..a lighter story.

    The other thread has put the Ambassador scheme in most of our minds and today I was out playing on my bike. As I climbed the hill to the main road I spotted a chap dressed in lycra and on a road bike passing by the junction I was heading to. When I reached the top he had about 100 yards on me...
