    Weird noise coming from the handle bar controller

    What is an RTI? I guess the R is for road, the I for Incident. I am missing the T. There is quite a few roundabouts on the way to work. The irony is that this one does not even look dangerous.... On a few rare occasions, I have seen a car entering a roundabout in front of me as if there was...

    Weird noise coming from the handle bar controller

    Hi, The driver stopped and gave me name/contact/plate number. The blind spot would really explain things cause she was clearly trying to understand how come she did not see me. Hopefully she will admit being responsible but we will see. I will keep the ride in car-like position in mind. I tend...

    Weird noise coming from the handle bar controller

    I should have stayed home :( Nothing to do with the noise: A car took me down in a round about this morning. I am lucky in the sense that I have only bruises. However, it looks like the bike will need some serious work before it is back on the road. One of the thing that really worries me, is...

    Dubious Provenance?

    I am with everybody in the sense that I am also quite sure that the bike is stolen. Still, I would give the guy a chance to explain himself before any definitive conclusion (and check the frame number no matter what the explanation is). Goryl

    Dubious Provenance?

    Hi, You can always ask for a frame number as well as how come he does not have key and charger. Better be suspicious of course, but you can give the guy a chance to explain. Goryl

    Weird noise coming from the handle bar controller

    Hi again, I have played a bit with things trying to clean/tighten up at the same time. As far as I can tell I did not eliminate the problem. One of the screw on the controller box felt and I tried to replace it but the new one turned without gripping... The box is properly closed but it held...

    Weird noise coming from the handle bar controller

    Would that also depends on how much stress there is on it? Cause it is a bit hard to localize the sound... Thanks, Goryl

    Weird noise coming from the handle bar controller

    Yes. I tried a bit this morning. My impression is that I get the same noise at high peak. When I start I get it, once the bike is at speed it disappear. On pedelec mode, I get it when it is at the maximum setting. It seems to disappear once the bike is at speed. I cannot hear it if I am on a...

    Hello everybody, I had a series of punctures (which I was able to fix quite quickly). I had three punctures in the last two days. I could not find anything in the tyre but this morning on my way to work I had another one and decided to get the tyre changed (Felt like the obvious thing to...

    Hello, Thought this may be of interest for the Londoners: Olympic road ban on cyclists will put lives at risk | ETA I did not have time to read the exact policy but better be cautious! Goryl

    French mail delivery

    Hello, I am just back from a trip home to the south of France. The French Post Office is using e-bike. Looking online it doesn't seem to be that new but they are now frequent enough to be seen. The one I have seen looked much better, I do not know the make though... La poste s'équipe en...

    New to electric bikes, what to buy???

    I completely agree. I commute 2-4 times/week (18.5 miles each way). I charge at work to avoid deep discharge. From door to door, it takes around 1H15 minutes (Including taking the bike down/up the stairs). I really enjoy it! For me it is really easy to get the motivation but I guess that it is...

    Back wheel puncture

    Hello, Does anyone know what is the size of the spanner needed to remove the wheels? I had to borrow one when I did this and I cannot remember what was the size. I think it was 18mm but not 100% sure... (That is one way of recognizing a newbee :D) I want to make sure that I have everything...
