    Insurance for electric bike - looking for a recommendation and advice

    If you get insurance that encompasses everything, PLI - fire - theft - accidental damage to your machine like you just roll off of it or whatever then you pay top dollar and are fully covered no matter what. A couple of points, I'd go for the like for like option with full value of the insurance...

    Insurance for electric bike - looking for a recommendation and advice

    The subject of insurance often pops up here unsurprisingly as it's a bike forum. I have a 20in wheel bike and it's on my house insurance so covered should anyone break in and help themselves, however I don't have insurance for use on the road. The problem is this, like many others my bike has...

    They showed this bit of interaction on the news, when Gove replied to TM she just grinned at him and kept shaking her head as he said Frost is the man for the job. I love it when the rats start tearing bits out of each other for a change :)

    Chain lube

    Let's not forget the reason why pro cycling teams wax their chains is because it allows them to work more efficiently, this was proven years ago but lube manufacturer's are not really interested in selling a bag of wax pellets with Castrol or whatever printed on the side. Now they have cottoned...

    Chain lube

    After many years of cycling and using just about every type of lubricant on my chains I decided to try waxing which is what the pro's do to their bikes. It worked very well but as vfr has said it gets gummy because it's thick and that's the problem with all lubricants to a greater or lesser...

    I must admit I've never considered any of those things. If I run out of juice I can just pedal (hub motor) and I don't do hills much. As for my bike going wrong, well it will do one day they all do so best not worry too much about that.

    WANTED: E-bike insights to help student research project

    I don't like to cast aspersions on anyone I don't know but the reality is all surveys are just a means of gathering information and profiling people to learn their habits, likes and dislikes. That info "could" be used for the reasons stated, it could also be sold to the highest bidder for sums...
