    Battery life please.

    Hi all as a newbie I have probably a silly question to ask. I was told by the dealer that is it best to keep my battery indoors. Fine. Also to keep it topped up. Now unlike many on here. My idea of a good ride is a couple of hours round the parks or woods. I've never used more than quarter of...

    On my way out for some urban Mtb. Back now. Scared a van driver when he cut a corner on me. I was emerging right at a T junction. He gave me that your a pleb stare. He got one back and looked uncomfortable. I don't know how the roadies do it.

    Ebike for wife 5 foot tall

    Kudos sprint and the Beneli look good. The wife liked the look of The Beneli . And my devious mind is thinking its a lot better on a train than my mountain bike . And I can even let my lad have a go in the private woods out back.

    Ah yes wear as well. Didn't think of that. Mind you my longest road trip has been a mile or so . But at the weekend I'm planning on visiting a mate it's only 7 miles but a pain to get to via 3 buses or bus train bus . We like to have a few beers so can't drive. I've worked out I can take a...

    Eddie. I'm a complete cycling novice. My tires look like yours and I do trail and road. It's not a safety issue is it on road? Just speed ?

    Continuing my exploration off all the footpaths in the area. And trying to cross the borough Bexley off road as much as possible. I ended up having to carry the thing over a few styles again. Went under the A2 along the railway. Only to be stopped by another footpath closed sign stopping me...

    Ebike for wife 5 foot tall

    I got brilliant advice on here and really enjoying cycling again. So much so that me and the lad Are going out and the wifes being left out. A few years ago I bought her a Raleigh pioneer metro lx. It's done about 5 miles. She's just not comfortable on the roads. I thought about a conversion but...

    It does look beautiful. In fact so many photos on this thread look beautiful. My camera phone efforts at local south London parks and woods are the exception. If it ever dries up a bit I may take the camera . Then you will be treated to a nice Bokeh of adidas stripes and Staffordshire bull...

    Adventure race towing. I read up on towing a bike and used the retractable dog lead method. Attached to a loop of bungee . My boy is 9.5 and quite slight. I felt bad that he's struggling off-road in wet grass and mud. To be fair in the 4 weeks I've been using this ebike in parks and woods ( not...

    Ebike insurance

    My new bike at around 1500 was going to be between 80 and 100 quid a year. And using a silver or gold lock. I rang my home insurance through first direct who use aviva and it's now got full cover for 25 a year extra on my contents. I don't know if that's something you can do. They don't care...

    Anyone going to TfL London e-bike industry forum today?

    Some way of keeping your bike secure would be a great start. Like gun cabinets for bikes. I wouldn't want to leave mine anywhere in London. They stick out. Look expensive. Look fun.
