    Gears, How Many is Too Many?

    Do you live in a hilly area? I guess the number of gears needed depends on where you live. Me, I need them all. In my area 9th would be too high for any of the hills, middle gear would be too high or too low depending on which hill and 1st would be too low for all the hills I've met except one...

    The NOT Gears, How Many is Too Many? thread

    She was a good politician, she managed to fool lots of people into thinking she was sincere. She did damage to this country that, sadly, will never be undone. As to the Falklands, Lynda, are you old enough to remember the war? If so, can you remember all the signs Argentina gave that it would...

    Neptune, you should have been in Scotland that day. We were over the moon. I don't wish her any harm but I wish she had never taken up politics.

    Gears, How Many is Too Many?

    I have 9 gears on mine and I use them all everytime I go out. I live in the hills and need the lowest to start off and the highest when going on the flat or a slight downhill stretch. Generally though I'm in the middle 4 gears as the hills here have many different gradients as you climb them...

    Really considering getting an electric bike

    Obviously it is better if you can try the bikes but for my 2p worth. I've got a Kudos Tourer with the 9 speed. I've had it 10 months and bought it online without seeing or trying it. I've never regretted buying it for a second. It looks like a proper bike to me. It does exactly what I want...

    E4 alliance announces new consumer demo days !

    When I was making my post I thought, I'll bet someone from Thurso or Wick pops up and calls me a soft Southerner.

    Durham's not up North. It's REALLY lonely being an E-biker way up here. :)

    A 250cc motorbike bike will do 90mph, which e-bike competes with it?

    kudos display panel

    The small sign always say KM even though you're now reading miles. To reset the trip, hold the 'down' button for 3 or 4 seconds, this will reset the trip, timer and max speed.

    kudos display panel

    OK, the one with what looks like a letter M on its side is the odometer. The one with the clock is the timer, it counts when moving. The one with the km is the trip and if you've set the speedo to mph it reads in miles. The one which says max is the maximum speed, it resets to 10.0 if you...

    Battery charger query

    Once mine starts flashing green/red it normally goes solid green after about 30 minutes or so. I've never managed to time it.

    Will my character change when I get my bike

    I realise you say that in jest but beware of tackling a decent lycra clad cyclist. I went after one once to see how good/bad I would be against a decent cyclist. On the steeper climbs I reckon I was catching slightly but on the flat roads and less steep climbs he was away. He left me well behind...

    15.5 mph maximum?

    13.5 isn't too bad, it depends on a lot of factors. Is the road really level or does it have a slight slope? Another factor could be your speedo, is it calibrated exactly to your wheel circumference? If it was out by 1 mph you'd be doing the same speed as most legal e-bikes. The weight of the...

    15.5 mph maximum?

    It will be difficult to tell without knowing all the facts. What type of bike is it? Does it have different power levels? If so, is it set to the highest power setting? My bike will do about 15 mph without me assisting it. I say 'about' It depends on the weather, if the wind is against me it...

    TFT screen mystery

    It switches off after a while if you're not moving or doing anything. A simple press of the button will bring it back on. It has never switched off when on the move or stopped at a junction.

    TFT screen mystery

    When you change the Speed to mph the symbol for KM will still appear above your trip meter. It WILL be reading miles though. When you're calibrating the wheel size there are a few different circumferences for each size of wheel, just measure the circumference of your tyre and flick the meter up...
