The recommended tyre pressures for my Gazelle Easy Glider are 80/85 psi. The valves are schrader. To get there needs a track pump. I have 2 of these. The one I keep in Spain, a pump I have had for many years,will make 80 psi without any problems. The one I have here at home - a much newer one...

Like Moon I too am a fitter happier person since I got my e bike, a Gazelle, in May. It is not just a bike for me but much more a magic carpet, . Thanks to the arthritic hips etc of old age I struggle to walk as far as 100 yards. To my continuing amazement and delight I have so far cycled 650...

Thank you Flecc. Your knowledge base makes this forum a wonderful place for the rest of us to learn. David

The panasonic system on my gazelle has started making a knocking noise - of a gentle rather than a harsh sound. It is not all the time and I have not been able to spot any consistent reason for when it does happen. The only consistency is that it always happens on the downward thrust of my left...

So yesterday morning I go to get on my Gazelle and the front tyre is definitively, unmistakably FLAT! So much for guarantees etc. Anyway the good news was that it was the front wheel which is much easier to deal with. Also the hole in the tube is easy to find, it is quite big and near to the...

I can confirm that. Grossly unfit that I still am, and oh so old that I am (76 tomorrow) I rode up a 1 in 4 on my Easy Glider the other day - mind you I did need boost and I was down to 1st gear, which is not a common occurrence - but the point is I did it. I find it amazing!

Flecc Thanks - as always. What would I, and so many others do without your wisdom and experience so freely passed on! David

Next bit on my learning curve. The light started to flash on the last kilometre coming home this morning. Question: is that the time to give it it's first full recharge, or do I have to wait until there are no lights at all on the display?

Thanks for that (and to John) It makes much more sense to be consistent with my name. Might even be able to find myself now!

Thanks for the info. One more bit on this beginner's learning curve now mastered!

I remember reading that you must not attempt to switch on the system whilst pedalling. Does that mean only whilst stationary? What about say a long level or even downhill road where power is not needed, but at the end there is a hill. Can you switch on whilst freewheeling? On a similar them...

Flecc quite right. DavidH is to do with my sign in for the forum as opposed to my normal email address. I find it all confusing but perhaps better stick with my 'forum identity'. Whichever you think I'll go with. But at least my marker is in exactly the right place on the map!

Foreign parts Greytop if by any chance your 8 week trip takes you anywhere near Camping Monfrague in Extremadura, Spain look me up. I will be there from 28 May for the summer and will have with me my first pedelec, new this week. Could be a chance to compare notes David

Update to my map entry Like Steve I am now proud owner of a Gazelle Easy Glider, Could you add that detail to my entry please Davidw

I start from the premise that you're never going to get people out of the cars. They are too inbuilt - rightly or wrongly. But cars will change. Already Mercedes have an electric version of their Smart car. It is undergoing trials in London and other cities in the world. It has a (governed)...

I too cannot see how creating a new offence will achieve anything. It is more of an attitude of mind and as I said when I started off this thread the difference between riding a cycle in this country and abroad is that, as a generalisation, foreign motorists seemed to treat us as cyclists with...

A long, proven and established formula is that with the pedal crank in line with the down tube of the bike the distance from the pedal centre to the top of the saddle should be 1.09 x your inside leg measurement. All I can add is that this gave me many years of comfortable riding.

In fact I'm right on the edge of deciding to leave this forum, such is the idiocy of these postings. Flecc You can't do that!! 99% of what I have learnt about the new world of e bikes since I discovered it in January has been directly down to your amazing, seemingly infinite knowledge...
