last autumn my front wheel slid on wet leaves and I came off. My helmet was well damaged, three years ago I was knocked off the road by a motorist with similar results. (Two days in hospital). I have to say that after my experiences I would recommend it is well worth wearing a helmet. I agree...

Great stuff, I would'nt have known but for your posting. Have signed in hope but fear we are the underdogs !! However ..one day..one day richard

I doubt if they carry out colour blindness tests in china. In my old profession, manufacturing electronics, we found 18% of males, much less of females failed the test with most having problems with the red green spectrum. So I am would not be surprised if that contributes to the mistakes...

Well done Flecc, not being familiar with links etc ( I am Bee useless with computers ) do you think you bring that to her attention. Richard

You never cease to surpise me Flecc, however I corrected the tyre pressures on madame's Ezee chopper today with similar good results but while out on a test run whilst coming up a steep hill I couldn't help but think what a good bike the Ezee chopper would have been for our lady member in San...

I purchased one of these cheap digital tyre pressure gauges from a local petrol station and when I tried it on the bike it was way out !! or so I thought. Having checked it out with the car and our local tyre service shop I found it was my ancient metal slide gauge which was at fault. On a...

Forte or Forza ? Which one .....What do you think ...?

Puzzle sorted, good discussion !! Thanks flecc

Another thought has just occurred to me, the cyclists I have gained on are just normal cyclists not racers so perhaps after reaching the top of the hill they just relax and coast down where as I tend to keep the throttle open until I have reached a speed where I know the motor is not...

I am struggling with this one flecc, I agree with the physics and math but at the same I too have noticed how I catch up lighter bikes on a long steep downhill run. Would it be something to do with the weight v air resistance relationship, to give an extreme analogy the falling of a feather and...

Thanks Manchego, I have a dodgy wrist, just about the only discomfort on my Liv. Saw your post, ordered it. Thanks mate. Richard

deep water I accidently ploughed into deep water today ( eighteen inches) at speed. Immediately switched off, manually cycled for a couple of miles but curiosity got the better of me and stupidly switched on.....all ok...well done Ezee Liv Richard

Well done flecc, thank you for a tantalising, tittilating conundrum. I have been following it with great mirth and interest, however now that my little brain can now stop buzzing with whacky ideas and accept that perhaps my thinking cannot climb out of the box ! I would ask is there a way to...

This has got me intrigued All these people racking their brains Attempting a crossword that has no answer !!! All I can come up with is........ Byceelec Richard

Brilliant Grandad, Managed to negotiate floods by riding in the centre of of the road with fingers firmly crossed but when zooming down a hill I went through an innocent looking puddle which turned out to be a blooming great pothole!! Shook me up but trusty Liv survived...

Perhaps because we are so vulnerable on a bike I want my full attention on the sound of the bike and surrounding traffic, however with the current trend of folks wanting to listen to audio entertainment all the time I can understand it but I still think it is risky.

Now there is food for thought Flecc it does away with those nasty hill things and you can concentrate the energy in a narrow power band !!

Can you fit floats and a prop to the 'Q' Flecc ????

The preceding discussion has been very illuminating for me. It begs the following question : bearing in mind that earlier posts have indicated the Ezee Liv has a very 'peaky' power band ( I assume this means max torque is delivered over a very narrow rev area) at what mph does the Liv motor...

A rainy day, there I was sitting there quite happily, pencil in hand, blank sheet of paper, vernier and the offending XLR connector. Just about to design the worlds first XLR extractor and in walks SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED back from playing with her horses, I explained the difficulty of pulling...
