    How long have you had your bike for?

    Yeah, the motor on mine sounds like an old blender!

    How long have you had your bike for?

    D Exact same bike as mine, even the colour! I've been really enjoying mine so far, hope you have as much fun as me :) Btw, I got over 20 miles out of one charge on Saturday, albeit mostly on the flat on the lowest assist setting - the battery isn't really done until the last light on the...

    Greetings - and a load of questions!

    I've noticed loads more people riding step throughs these days (electric and not) - 15 / 20 years ago it felt like only vicars and old ladies rode them, everyone else had an MTB, not so now. My e bike isn't a step through but as it is a folder the bar is relatively low - I love being able to...

    Hello!

    I did my first commute to and from work today! I did a dry run a couple of Saturdays ago, just to get a feel for the route, but the traffic wasn't like a weekday morning and I wasn't wearing shirt, trousers and shoes, so it wasn't really the same. Rode 7 miles-ish from Garston into Liverpool...

    Slipstreaming

    On a day trip to That London some years ago I saw a guy who was a dead ringer for Mr Motivator, right down to the skintight lycra outfit, following in the wake of a bus at impressive speed... on rollerblades. None of the locals batted an eyelid.

    I can empathise with the roadside lung trauma! Good luck :)

    1 pound bike rack bag on amazon

    £1 bag! Possibly due to a typo... hope no-one got fired for it! Me and my wife got to stay in a hotel for £4.90 in Southport last year, because the person at the company who was putting the details on Booking.com or whatver it was put a decimal point in the wrong place. They were totally cool...

    Based on my (admittedly very limited) experience from riding my bike, on the highest assistance setting you only really need to keep the pedals turning very, very slowly - you don't need to put any weight onto the pedals at all. It appears to be a bit of a fudge to allow the bikes to be known...

    Hello!

    I've been very lucky with the weather on my two trips out so far, but yes, I've been to an "outdoors shop" and invested in a proper lightweight waterproof jacket and some over-trouser things, don't want to get into work in the morning looking like drowned rat :)

    Hello!

    If there wasn't an 80's hair metal band called Electrosteed, there should have been!

    Hello!

    Hi all, I recently purchased a Coyote Connect folding electric bike, with the intention of using it for my 6-7 mile commute to work, instead of being at the mercy of the vagaries of public transport. At £500 for the bike, plus a few extra bits (against nearly £70 per month for my travel pass)...
