    Hello From Scotland

    Aye, it is a nice area for cycling, we just need some nice weather and we'd have it all. :) We have everything an e-biker needs, quiet roads and hills, lots of hills, no I mean LOTS of hills. So much so the area I live in is called the 'braes' the school which is about a mile down from me is...

    Hello From Scotland

    I'll more than likely be riding my Kudos to Linlithgow tomorrow, weather permitting. There's plenty of quiet roads in the area to 'play' on your bike. It's good to hear of another Kudos in the area. Actually it is good to hear of another E-bike in the area.

    New tyre time.....

    Dave, you won't believe it but I searched for a tyre last night when I discovered my wee problem. I tried Tesco, 2 miles away and open 24 hours, I tried Asda 5 miles away and open 24 hours but they didn't have my size. So, I did what everyone else does, ordered one from Amazon, :) then this...

    How unlucky am I?

    I did 160 miles in my garage last Winter and so far this Winter I'm just over 100 miles.

    How unlucky am I?

    No idea what caused it as I can't believe it happened, so I've come in for a cup of tea instead of examining it.

    How unlucky am I?

    I've only been out on the bike once this year and have been keepping fit ;) in the garage on my Tacx. Something didn't feel right tonight and on inspection I find I have a rear wheel puncture. I mean! who the hell gets a puncture in their bleeding garage on a trainer. As is usual with my luck...

    The GPS doesn't care if you're on a road or not. It works out where you are in the univers and how far you've travelled and how long. The quicker it updates the more accurate it is. You could climb a vertical cliff and the GPS just knows how far you've travelled and how long you took. On my...

    Get 2 GPSs and 2 cycle computers and see if the 2 cycle computers read the same. The GPS works out where you are in the universe then where you are 2 seconds later then computes how far you've travelled and how long you took.

    The GPS will be more accurate than a cycle computer. You may find the bike will go faster when the weather warms up. My bike will sit at 15 mph in the summer and slows down at this time of year.

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

    If we're allowed to use 'assistance' like that, then I can beat 100mph. I did 110mph with my bike on a Thule carrier hanging off the back of my car. The bike has also done about 150mph in the back of my son's pick-up. It's a 'special' pick up truck though. ;) However, sitting on the e-bike bike...

    Found myself answering the same old questions.

    I was asked that a few times when I first got my bike. I explained that it doesn't and if it did it would be almost impossible to pedal. 2 people then went on to explain how EASY it would be to make it work. Once I told them they'd be VERY rich if they could make it work and that EVERY car...

    Haibike Questions??

    What extra mouth is there in the chain compared to all other countries? Don't they also have distributors and dealers offering support & service?

    Haibike Questions??

    Does Haibike supply their distributors in the other countries cheaper than the one they will have in UK? There should only be a slight variation in prices in the different countries. One thing you should mention when at your meeting is, tell them we're a cynical & miserable lot on here...

    New to e-bikes

    Kudos have 3 folders, 2 of which are at a reduced price just now.

    15mph cutout

    If the bike used to get to 15.5 mph and you've not changed anything, it may just be the cold weather making it slightly slower. Mine goes slower in the cold.
