I tried a Powacycle Salisbury out in Spain last September and found the motor assistance incredibly light. We were on charity ride near Orihuela, most of which I completed on a Torq, but I went some of the way on a borrowed powacycle and was surprised by how weedy the motor was in comparison to...

Can't say I've ever had a problem finding a spot and I live in Westminster and venture into the centre almost every day.

Westminster to charge for motorcycle parking London Tonight report that use of motorcycles, mopeds and scooters has increased by 16 times over the last 15 years or so, with much of this increase following the introduction of the congestion charge. So, Westminster council have announced that...

50cycles can easily and inexpensively fit a range of gear options, including a Shimano single speed nexus chainset with a 38t ring on it which would give a very low gear ratio and coupled with a lower ratio 8 or 9sp cassette would be ideal for very hilly areas. The Torq is just too good to...

Cycling Plus is a serious magazine for the lycra-clad, fighting-fit cyclist who thinks little of spending thousands of pounds on the latest type of carbon frame. The current issue rounds up the year and gives awards to bikes that have impressed their journalists over the last year. So it says a...

Brute U-lock We had some of these delivered recently - very substantial U-lock with the advantage of coming with £1200 worth of insurance if the lock is broken. We chose to stock this one (and another smaller model with £800 insurance) because it comes with a mounting bracket and one of the...

Sprint My speed record is about 34mph on a Sprint 7. That was going down a very winding hill to the excellent pub at Helford Passage, Cornwall. The disc on the roller brake wasn't quite glowing at the bottom, but I briefly thought of dousing it with precious beer ;) That was the first...

ebike is always a good fallback. concise, established. cyclotron could be borrowed from particle physics, but it sounds a bit 1930s. Or you could go out on a typographical limb and use +cycle or -cycle, but that has negative connotations. wirecycle, ampcycle A bike used to be called...

Hello, we've found a supplier of very good locks recently and will post more soon. Tim 50cycles

All eZee bikes can use either the NiMH or Lithium battery pack, they are the same size and slide in and out easily. Yes, the battery does lock into place. Once the bike is switched to the 'off' position and the key removed, a concealed metal bolt slides into a recess on the battery, holding...
