    Hello!

    Every garage needs more than 1 ebike. Get another one bought. Go on, you know you want to. ;)

    My apologies if you've already mentioned it but, when is the trip taking place?

    Possibly the most hideous electric bike...ever!

    I actually saw one of these in my village last week.

    I've edited it. ;) I blame the iPad's predictive text. :)

    I work with a guy who lives 40 miles from work. He bought his bike on the cycle to work scheme. He has actually had it at work, on the roof of his car. ;)

    Advice for a heavy rider

    Indeed and what works for me, well, it works for me. ;) As to different tastes, I have different tastes from myself depending on how I feel when I set out. Sometimes I try to see what top speed I can achieve, 35mph on the flat with the Typhoon so far, sometimes I like to see how far I can go on...

    What has happened to the variety?

    He might need two batteries to get up 47 miles. ;)

    What has happened to the variety?

    3000 miles per year is impressive.

    Advice for a heavy rider

    As I've stated before on here, I see no point in buying an ebike and me doing all the work. I switch it on, select power level 5 and off I go. I do my thing and the hamsters in the back wheel do theirs. We seem to get along fine. Sometimes my thing is to try and beat my previous fastest time and...

    What has happened to the variety?

    I agree with D8veh, people these days seem to have an idea in mind of what the ebike they're about to buy must do. If you go back 3 years people simply wanted an ebike, usually under £1000. Now they ask, which bike under £1000 will take me up steep hills without pedalling and get me 10miles in 5...

    Just one of those days.

    I decided to go out on the Typhoon today since it was warm, dry & sunny. Riding along peacefully through Linlithgow when an elderly chap in a Vauxhall decided to pull out from the side of the road just as I got to him. I did a nice rear wheel skid which must have looked impressive to everyone...

    Nod of approval.

    I was out on the Typhoon yesterday and went up a steep hill beside Polmont ski slope. At the top is a golf course on both sides of the road. I went up about 13 mph which required a fair bit of effort from me. As I neared the top 3 elderly golfers were crossing the road. One spoke to the other...

    electric bike - 1st one - help please!

    I've got 2 ebikes. I've got a Kudos Tourer and a Kudos Typhoon. I've had the Tourer for 3 years and the Typhoon for 2 months. They're different bikes. The Tourer is more sedate, it goes the distance and does the job. I'm 6' tall and weigh 14.5 stones roughly. It takes me everywhere. It requires...

    Hello everyone

    Tell me more? :) What is it and how does it work?

    Hi from sunny?? Cornwall

    I bought them both direct from Kudos. I bought a Tourer from them 3 years ago and a Typhoon from them a couple of months ago. The Typhoon took about 10 minutes from 'out of the box' to being ridden. All it needed was the handlebars turned round and tightened, the pedals put on and the front...

    Hi from sunny?? Cornwall

    Hi and welcome. I've got 2 Kudos bikes which I bought from them direct on the internet. I've not regretted it. As to which one to get, that depends on what you want it to do.

    Help with getting an electric bike

    That would probably be way too big. The girl is 5'2" and that bike is a 52cm frame. The page says it's a big bike suitable if you're over 5'10". You won't lower that enough by changing the seat post.

    scottish demo day

    I don't know of any shows up here but there's an electric bike shop in Linlithgow which sells ebikes, they also hire them out from the shop. They also hire them out from the Helix park in Falkirk and from Beecraigs country park near Bathgate. Soon they are going to be available for hire from the...
