    why do you have more than one bike.......

    I've got 2 bikes. A Kudos tourer ebike and a Triumph Tiger 955cc. :) I am giving a bit of consideration though to another ebike. Possibly a crank drive one. I won't be buying a non powered bike as my son has a new MTB in my garage which I've been known to try out.

    New! Sirocco-Sport from Woosh

    The problem I see with the bike is the 17" frame. I had a bigger frame than that when I was 10. Can't you get them made in larger frame sizes? The webpage says suitable for people up to 6' 2". I can't see many people that size buying one.

    Best Way to Carry battery into work etc

    Seriously, get a cheap backpack or a bag from somewhere like tesco or sports direct. You don't need to wear the backpack just carry it, it's only for taking your battery into work. It should cost you about £5.

    increased bike sales......?????

    If you're 17 an ebike is not an alternative to a car or motorbike.

    increased bike sales......?????

    Indeed, the problem isn't that people can't afford them, it's that they don't want them. The electric bike image is not helping sales in UK. Maybe BEBA and non BEBA chaps and chapesses need to get together and put their efforts into changing the ebike image in UK. Most young people who are...

    Humour them? No chance. Eddie we're Scottish, we simply curse and swear at each other then shout and stuff. Then after a while we simply argue about something else, something equally as daft and pointless. You've got to do something on the nightshift to keep you sane. :)

    You're correct that most people have no idea how e bikes work and what they do. I have been asked by 3 people at work if my bike charges the battery when I'm pedalling. When I say no, the claim that's rubbish then because it's easy to make it do it. I have even tried explaining that the extra...

    Well you know us Scots, if there's a fight we're there. We don't need to know the people or the reason, we'll still be there. Of course we'll all go for a pint when it's over.

    David Wisper. If you're looking for opinions, mine is that I don't think there should be a union flag on your bikes if they're not made in UK somewhere. It is misleading to people, even the non gullible will assume they're made in UK. I appreciate that you would say they were made in China or...

    Come for a ride.............

    Looks like a nice place to have a bike. I've got a couple of questions: What camera were you using? and where are the hills? I'd love to go as far as that and not climb a big hill or two or three or more.

    Puffin Bikes

    What advice have I given about puffin buying a Kudos? You give confusing contradictory advice, you said get crank drive, you said hub drives aren't for you then you recommend wisper which are hub drive saying you've had 4. Where's the impartial advice? I'd like you to now point out where I said...

    Puffin Bikes

    Sadly 'impartial advice' isn't what people get from you. Did you mean to infer that people riding hub bikes crash into trees on their first outing? Puffin, you are in business so don't need us to tell you how to run one. You could look at all the different makes and types but nothing beats...

    Tonaro and Momentum reviews in new A to B issue 92

    Where as I much prefer the system on my bike which means that as long as I'm turning the pedals the motor gives me full power. I don't see the point in the bike deciding for me how much power it will give me. If I decide I want to go slower I can always adjust the PAS setting. Torque sensors...

    At last, England has caught up. It's been illegal up here since 1992.
