Whether we like it or not, we are effecting our environment. Every ounce of fuel that is burnt or turned into plastic is releasing toxins into the air and reducing what is an extremely valuable resource. Forests are being cleared and heavy metals mined, consumed and dumped (including by us lot...

he he he :D

Absolutely, that IS one up on the crank drive system :)

Whether you believe the science or not, In my view you shouldnt dump waste if you can avoid it, not in landfills, not in drums into the sea, and not out through your exhaust into the atmosphere. You wouldnt want your neighbours emptying their bins in your garden everyday, so why should we...

:) thats probably the most effective way Ive seen for clearing snow yet. Not perfect no, you can see that he need a run up in places, and he is really having to use his leg muscles, but it is much better than a bloomin shovel!

Spot on Jerry, one behind the other. These apparently are ridiculously fast, with a long range, and have a 'safety cell' technology, and oh, George Clooney has one. They say they are slim enough to legally fit 2 per lane, giving the same room between and either side as the legal width for a...

Maybe we will all end up with something like this.... An all-electric 2 seater thats the width of a motorcycle.

What bike are you on Lemmy? Im on a Pro Connect and I dont have to touch the chainguard, and the nexus hub is just 'into gear 1 and then slip out the knot', then loosen the brakes and off it all comes :confused: John EDIT - Just saw, Tasman. Odd, the PC doesnt touch the chainguard...

Wow, thats the first one Ive ever seen, very nice :) I'm glad you have a good experience of Dahon folders. The reviews I had read on the Speed TR were very critical of the build quality. so I can now put it back on my shopping list (I had taken it off after the reviews), so now between this...

I think youre painting a slightly incorrect picture of the way it works there Mussels Yep same here, I slow down, until I reach equilibrium between the bike, cadence and the ascent as suits me. I could stand on the pedals if I wanted (I wouldnt), but then so could you. In practice people do...

That depends a lot on what youre using it for. For example, if commuting, then you really want the power after having to slow down or going up a hill. Cruising at top speed on the flat you shouldnt need the motor at all, if you do then really you want a moped. If youre not commuting, then...

Hmmm, I really like the idea of a Speed TR with a motor, perfect for just about all commuting and traveling generally (on paper anyway) and easy to store :) I've not seen an electric Speed TR though, and have read a number of reports from people complaining about the build quality :(

If you want one, then the Bell Metropolis is a good one, and versatile (addons available of mirror, light, rain cover, winter ear covers).

Hi John Beautiful bikes those Whispers :) I'm a mere 5'11" with a 31" inside leg, but always feel a bit cramped on small framed bikes, usually ending up with backache if I ride them too much. Is there anyone you could maybe borrow a normal 17" framed bike (Is that what the 905 is??) from...

Theres also this from Holland. I dont understand the language but you can add to basket (Winkel Wagon), these being 9Ah for E295. Giant Battery Cells? John

Wasnt aware of this Beeps, such a shame, 1 step forward, 2 steps back :confused: John

Yes I understand you can still order genuine Giant batteries from Giant UK, sourced from Holland. However, I also understand that its only the 6.5Ah batteries. Your local Giant bike dealer will quote and source one for you. FYI if you didnt know, you can get the motor sprocket from AtoB...

Whisper clone (another)

Well done for coming on and explaining both sides Andy Although I agree that Vassilis has accepted the goods, and that it is a great deal, I have to agree with EddieO in that the bike that was purchased was supposed to be a 2009 model, thats what you offered him and even linked him to. The...

It sounds relevant to me :) I didnt realise that the NiMH prices had come down again, and 10Ah, maybe theres a new lease of life on the cards for the Giant :) John
