    Cycle Mirror

    Also no cost and hassle of parking..... and no tw@ts putting dings in the bodywork of my car. Which always happens in supermarkets.

    Cycle Mirror

    I use my Ebike as a utility bike a lot. My local supermarket is too far to walk and too far to cycle unassisted loaded with shopping. But its too near to keep taking my car, really not good for car engines to constantly be driven short distances where the engine barely gets hot. So an Ebike is...

    Cadence Sensor, Torque Sensor or Throttle?

    Anyway, cadence sensor and throttle, this suits me personally...... others will obviously have different requirements depending on age, fitness, health and preference.

    Cadence Sensor, Torque Sensor or Throttle?

    The thumb throttle i have certainly doesn't work in an on/off way..... the graduation of power is smooth and very controllable. Its for this reason i'll be keeping it and will carry on fitting throttles.

    Cycle Mirror

    They suit certain motorcycles well, but it has to be the right sort of motorcycle..... retros, cafe racers, streetfighters, rat bikes, muscle bikes and street scramblers all look good with small bar end mirrors. But they're more form over function on these motorcycles.

    Ebay seller ' Electric Bike Conversions ' seem to be doing well :)

    I like the look of these 500W rear wheel hub motor kits, everything about them is better than the 8fun kit i have fitted currently...... More power, a third more battery range and the wheel matches my current ones with black rims. Its a good price at under 400 sovs as well. When the battery...

    Dunno, but it sounds impressive doesn't it, just like their claims of 'Thermonuclear Protection' Snort

    Bar Ends

    Yes, i see what you're saying about them being incorporated into the grips and its something i hadn't thought about..... Ah well, i've ordered them now, so i'll just have to see what they are like when i get em next week. Thats quite interesting about the Flexiseq and i may well give it a go...

    Cycle Mirror

    Not used the Myrrycle myself, but just looked at the link and i see it is convex. It looks ok, the view will be far better than a flat mirror.

    Cycle Mirror

    I've used the small round bar end mirrors on my motorcycle and found the view extremely limited. Probably better off with the convex shaped mirrors, that give a wider field of view.

    Bar Ends

    I like the fact they clamp on with allen screws at both ends, so the grips wont turn on the bars. Something my current Ergon shaped grips do.

    Bar Ends

    I order a fair bit of stuff from China, i dont mind the wait, which is usually anything from 2 to 4 weeks. But i've just found the same ones on Ebay from a UK seller..... and they're even cheaper at £4.18 delivered.

    Bar Ends

    It was only after recently buying a road bike with drop bars, that i realised moving to different hand positions relieves my arthritis a bit. I thought before about bar ends on my flat bar hybrid, but as it was throttle only, i needed my hand on the grip. Now i have pedelec sensor fitted i could...

    Bar Ends

    They seem to have fallen out of favour in recent years. Used to see a lot of them back in the 90's, but not now, i guess its a fashion thing. Not that i care if they're popular or not, as i'm going to get some to give me another hand position to help my arthritis. Anyone else use em ?

    What should I buy as my first e bike?

    I'd even find it a hassle to drive my car for a 60 mile round commute...... Big respect for anyone that's prepared to cycle it
