    E-Bike Indicators

    A little flash of genius Sad to say we thought of carrying these but the sample they sent is still in its packaging. Simply too big and cumbersome to imagine fitting to one of our bikes. We've not got as far as trying to set them up. We do like the Spooklight wireless cycle light though...

    Child seat on Trike?

    Has anyone had any experience fitting a child seat to a tricycle? I'm considering modifying one of these for the nursery run Bit cheaper than one of those excellent Christiania (unpowered) trikes.

    wisper or agattu/emotion

    53cm frame is ideal for a rider with an inside leg measurement of 31", so I would say go for it. All those Agattus are bigger bikes than the measurements would suggest because of the extra couple of inches of saddle post suspension mechanism. Also, it's worth knowing that the models included...

    One Way Wrong Way OK

    The government announced this morning that it has accepted a proposal by Kensington and Chelsea in London to trial a scheme in which riders will be allowed to cycle the "wrong" way down selected one way streets. London trial to let cyclists pedal the 'wrong' way on one-way streets |...

    Batteries: Large vs Small capacity

    The Panasonic batteries mitigate post-production decline through the hibernation function, which means deep-discharge caused by draw from the BMS circuity is prevented as the battery switches itself off after a few weeks of lying idle. It is revived by placing on the charger. That's another...

    Batteries: Large vs Small capacity

    Our experience with the Panasonic pedelec system batteries is that they last for years. We first sold them in the WiLL bike and it was four years before we started getting requests for replacement batteries. So going on that evidence, and on the evidence so far from the thousands of Agattu...

    Kalkhoff Agattu Classic 12-Month Review

    That's a typo on the sale page! Corrected it to 7 speed now. Kalkhoff will also be offering a 7-speed option again in 2010, as well as the 8-speed.

    Outbid on ebay Agattu

    It's hot off the press, honest! There's an email scheduled to go out to all Kalkhoff owners tomorrow about it, I know a lot of people are considering buying another for their spouse, have friends who are interested, so it's not in our interests to keep it quiet!

    Progress Made in Seeing e-bikes

    I see a lot of them these days. I was standing outside a pub off Kensington High Street with an old schoolfriend and his dad, and he asked what I do at the moment someone on a Pro Connect rode by, who in turn was looking at my Pro Connect locked up at the side of the road. Often see electric...

    Kalkhoff Agattu Classic 12-Month Review

    That is a magnificent, detailed and candid review of the bike's life and times so far. 2,000 miles in a year is good going and it's that reduction in commute time that makes it all make sense, winning back your life from congestion and other delays hours at a time, it's brilliant. Anyway...

    a new eZee model, the Cando???

    There was no eZee model called the Cando, only the Quando. The Can Do is another bike sold through a Dutch company. Quite a fun little folder, pedelec only. We now do the IZIP Via Mezza Enlightened which is has a bigger battery, disc brake and more gears. It's more similar to the Quando in terms...

    Why weren’t more people on the 100 Mile Challenge?

    Rutland, eh? That appears to be in our neck of the woods. We'll definitely give it some thought. Lloyd is a certified British Cycling ride leader now, so this could work.

    The Agattu is a very desirable electric bike indeed according to owners, so no surprise they hold their value so well.

    Monkeylectric Wheel Light Display

    We had a play with a couple of these last year, it was looking like a goer until the pound dropped so badly against the dollar. They seemed to work better on 26-inch wheel bikes, rather than 700C, but it was hard to tell from a riding position ;) Lloyd fitted them to his downhill bike at a...
