    Earworm

    I once had a tune in my head for 500 bloody miles. I was coming up past Lyon on my motorbike back in the days before sat navs playing mp3s into your helmet and for some reason the song which appeared in my head was................................................'I'll take you home again...

    Other Cyclists. Where have all the manners gone?

    I live in Central Scotland and have to say that since I got my e-bike every other cyclist I've passed or met has nodded and/or said hello. I haven't been in London for about 20 years but I remember it being an unfriendly place. By that I mean, no-one cared much about each other.

    Pedelecs reported as an attack site

    On my laptop Malwarebytes reports blocking access to a website when I'm looking at some of the pages on pedelecs. It did it about 5 minutes ago.

    Hard front fork on Kudos Eco.

    I've got the Kudos Tourer with no suspension. The forks don't bother me. I've done a 37 mile trip and not been bothered. If you get the seating position correct then you might be OK. Doesn't the ECO have adjustable handlebar thingy? It's best to try it though if you're worried. What works for...

    Who's got a Kudos electric bike ?

    I've got a Kudos bike. I've got the Kudos Tourer 9 speed. I love it. As to battery range, I too am 14 stone (ok slightly over 14) I get over 30 miles on mine and I live in a hilly area. I use maximum power all the time, it never gets switched off. The Eco seems to have a front motor, mine's a...

    The wind

    OK, just to change the mood a bit. I went out yesterday for a few miles and it was windy. I mean WINDY. It was a great feeling when I was going along a flat road for about .75 miles at 27 mph. I felt like a Tour de France rider. I even had a car following me about 10/15 yards back making no...

    Limited Budget Basic Electric Bike?

    Nonsense, buy British. Triumph are very reliable, more so than some of the Japanese bikes I've owned. ;)

    Gears, How Many And Why?

    I have 9 and I use them all everytime I'm out. My area is all hills and very little flat roads and I need ALL of my gears at one time or another.

    Limited Budget Basic Electric Bike?

    Hmm, for less than £1000 my Kudos Tourer looks like a bike and is a 21" frame. One of the main reasons I bought it was because it looked like a real bike.

    Isn't it time we had a standard to compare the ranges claimed?

    It would be good to see some kind of standard but It wouldn't be easy to do. Some people come on here and claim 80 miles then say they were on power level 1 and they did almost all the work. That's not an indicator of how far the bike would go with me on it. On my bike living in my area, which...

    First trip of the year.

    I do indeed and I've conquered many hills on it. I've also conquered 160 miles in my garage on it but there's not many hills in there. ;)

    First trip of the year.

    It is warm and sunny here in Central Scotland today so I was out for my 1st run of the year. It was good to get back out and I did 14 miles. I'm glad I bought the bike training thingy in December and I've done 160 miles in my garage over the Winter and felt quite fit out on the bike. Now...

    Guests. Where Are You?

    Most of the time that I'm on here I'm not logged in so would show as a guest in your counting. I only normally log in if I'm starting a thread or replying to one. Like this one. ;)

    What is the maximum price you would spend on an electric bike?

    There is no simple answer to the question. I can only speak for myself. When I was looking at E-bikes there is no way I'd have spent £2000 on my 1st one. I could afford to spend it but I wouldn't. E-bikes for the 1st time buyer are an unknown entity, we all think we want one but we're not sure...

    Electric Bike Rally

    Glaswegian understanding

    OK, Glasgow humour is it? Try this one. Wee Glasgow woman walks into a bakers. She ponts and says to the baker, " is that a bun or a meringue? " The baker says? "no, you're right enough"

    Is it just me.........

    This thread is taking a turn for the worse. It would be best locked. If people don't want to read about others exploits they don't need to open a thread. It looks like it is starting to get personal. Some of you need to get over yourselves.

    Is it just me.........

    Did I mention I had a Kudos Tourer? It's the perfect bike for me. I've never been beaten by a hill yet. ;)
