    Two-way communication system??

    Well I'm very pleased to report that covering the microphone part of the headset has cured the problem of wind noise and makes tranmissions much clearer. I'm very pleased with my purchase, thanks Flecc for suggesting this particular one. Weather in Cornwall was beautiful today and as most...

    Battery charging Li + NiMH temp

    Yesterday I charged one Li and two NimH batteries after a long cycle. I left them all for just over 4 hours and when I returned they all had the green light on the charger (originally orange and all chargers were working). I noted that the NimH batteries were warm to the touch, but the Li...

    Two-way communication system??

    I guess if we had a tandem I could simply poke or wack if I wanted to get his attention !! We love exploring roads we've never been down before and having this communication helps when he suddenly decides to change our route ! I'm sure, however, that should he get fed up with my chatter...

    Two-way communication system??

    Results of first trial outside Hi, Thanks for everyone's help regarding a two-way radio. I ordered the one mentioned by Flecc, the Clarke model TR200, and also bought the headset and rechargeable batteries at the same time. I ordered on the Thursday evening and they arrived on the Monday...

    Sprint motor noise solved

    Thanks John, It is a substantially built shed, bit like a chalet rather than a shed. There are no drafts, nor windows, just air vents at a very high level, it is in a very sheltered position built onto the side of our concrete garage. We use the dehumidifyer just for a few hours in the off...

    Sprint motor noise solved

    A few months ago I posted that our Sprint motors were rather noisey, however, a short time later, because of other things we were storing in our wooden bike shed which felt rather damp, we invested in a dehumidifyer which we run overnight on the low economy electric rate. I'm convinced that...

    E-biking and loss of weight.

    I personally think that e-biking is really healthy for lots of reasons, for myself it means I get to have total "me-time" on my ride to and from work, I find it's a good way to clear my mind as you do have to concentrate on the road, and to think about nice things. I pedal as hard as I feel...

    Two-way communication system??

    Thanks to all other members who replied on this subject. I did look at the BT system (especially as BT pay my husband's pension !) but I could not find anywhere that had them in stock - not even BT. However, The one that Flecc mentioned is about what I was hoping to pay for such a thing, and...

    Two-way communication system??

    Thanks very much Flecc, seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I have placed my order. They do seem a good price and should work well for the short distance we shall need them for. When we've tried them out I'll post to say how we get on with them. Can't wait for them to arrive, it...

    Two-way communication system??

    I'm probably asking for something that does not exist ! However, it would be great if when out cycling as a couple we could communicate thro a hands free type of thing. I have seen motocyclists using something like this. Anyone any ideas? Many thanks Jeanette

    New Sanyo Lithium battery

    Hi, I'd be interested to know what members think about the new Sanyo Lithium batteries for Ezee bikes. Are you pleased with it's range and performance so far? Is it worthy of it's high price? I'm about to get one so would be interested in any replies. Thanks very much Jeanette

    Ezee Sprint home maintenance

    Thanks very much Ian. I shall take your advice regarding the brake pads when they are low and I am grateful to you for suggesting the other home checks. Fortunately our bikes are stored in the dry which will preserve them somewhat from the elements, especially the salt air as we live near...

    Ezee Sprint home maintenance

    Hi, I have just adjusted my front brakes as they were rather slack. I regularly check my tyres and oil my chain. I wonder though how often should I have my bike professionally serviced? Is there anything else I should be checking on routinely on my home maintenance? My front break...

    Brake tightening Ezee Sprint

    I've forgotten how to adjust the right hand brake lever on my handlebar. It feels pretty loose and almost touches the grip. The brake does work OK. Can you help ? Thanks Jeanette

    How should I store spare battery?

    If a NimH battery loses 1% per day of its charge if just left idle on the shelf, so it's a good idea to ride the bike and discharge it to recharge it every month, or six weeks - how fast does the Lithium battery lose its charge per day (ezee batteries) ? Thanks Jeanette :confused:

    Panniers

    I've seen panniers with the ezee logo on them which are oblong, rather than deep - look like they would carry a spare battery - does anyone know if they are still available?- I spotted it on a picture posted on the 8th April by Joab on the subject heading of "Next electric bike - illegal DIY!?"...

    Tyre pressure -maximum

    Wow ! - that's made my day - I'd been thinking about your picture during the day at work - I know that hill very well and my Sprint will climb up it, however, I certainly do not make a habit of using that route -neither up, nor down! I'm glad you had a good break in Cornwall. I live down in...

    Tyre pressure -maximum

    Dear Ian, Nice picture !! - thanks for your reply - I think I'll keep my tyres just a little above minumum, perhaps at 45 instead of 40 as I seem to have managed well at 40 for the past year - don't want to increase my risk of a puncture too much. As for your question "where were you?" -...

    Tyre pressure -maximum

    I see that some people inflate their tyres to as high as 85 psi !! - the manual on my Ezee Sprint says 40 psi. I'm aware of the importance of weekly checking tyre pressure and keeing it as it should be for maximum benefit, however, what would happen if I inflate them to a higher psi - would I...
