You’ll find that S pedelecs can’t be registered in the UK and are illegal to even use. Though quite a few do. See many threads here on the topic.

Unless the new models have a different display. It was only some of the Chinese ones you could change in the settings. But maybe that's different now….

Yes they use the ten percent allowed to cut out imperceptibly at just over 17 mph. It is possible to change the wheel dia setting so allowing it to cut out at a higher speed. But the only way to do that is with a device the dealer has. Some people have been lent this gadget in order to update...

These things seem to be very popular with Fleet Street’s finest nowadays, and now someone has used one to steal a crate of Lucozade of all things….. Apparently for the first time someone is to be prosecuted for riding one on the pavement, as well as the theft of course. The hack or hackette got...

If you have a star type bit with a drill set that will work fine. Just make sure it fits okay. The job's a bit fiddly but once you get the hang of it quite easy.

All bikes have some problems, and Bosch has had motor and battery problems over the past year or so too. There is a thread about faults with a Haibike just up from here. Electrical and frame problems. Kalkhoff had a batch of bad batteries a year or so ago, which they seem to be over, and the...

But Kalkhoffs don’t have throttles. Which makes the comparison a bit odd. Unless you get hold of an old stock bike none will have full speed throttles is a few weeks. Not even sure about the old stock bike having one either.

How does environmental concern push up oil prices? Energy companies pay a small amount of their turnover into so called green funds to promote green alternatives. But that amount has been cut by the present government as part of Dave’s "getting rid of all the green crap.” What they really fear...

As I said in the last ten years up until last year when the warming trend continued, the atmosphere did not warm. But it didn’t cool. As I also said this has now been found to be the result of the oceans absorbing more heat than was realised. But that is a finite effect so atmospheric warming...

Climate engineering is what big industry would like to do to combat the problem. But just like introducing rabbits into Australia the effects would be unknown. The solution is to drastically reduce carbon emissions and that can only realistically be done by ending the economic growth model...

No 95% of climate scientists agree that mankind is contributing to global warming. Absolutely everyone is agreed that warming is happening. It’s shown by comparing the proportion of warming gases in the atmosphere in the past from ice and wood samples with current levels. Nothing else but carbon...

If it’s a con cui bono? We all know who benefits from pumping more emissions into the atmosphere. It’s big oil and all their friends in governments around the world. They pay so called experts to rubbish the facts and pretend it isn’t happening. Just like the tobacco industry did for decades...

If only more people took such a sensible stance in other fields. General elections for instance....

Story here about a fifteen year old who lost control of his hoverboard and hit a bus. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/dec/11/hoverboard-death-in-london-believed-to-be-first-involving-swegway

As has been written above by others. Whenever I’ve bought something from the EU the VAT is included in the price to be paid. They may itemise it separately but the price at the check out includes VAT. The dish price above would seem to be right at 88 euros including shipping and VAT depending...

I wasn’t actually on the bike at the time though…..

My heavy Kalkhoff has fallen over on that side before now and hit the Mirrcycle mirror and it wasn’t damaged. They are very robust.

Mirrycle every time. Best bike mirror you can buy. Loads of recommends on Amazon and they can’t all be wrong.

Welcome to the forum. It’s always difficult to advise others what to buy because you don’t know how much effort they want to put in for exercise, or whether they are really looking for an electric moped or motorbike. There are many bikes available, MB, commuter, hybrid all sorts. The best thing...

It totally caught fire too! Not just caught fire. Not aware of this distant and cadet Cade branch in the colonies. The most illustrious Cade being my namesake the Australian shrink, or trick cyclist John Cade who pioneered lithium treatment for bipolar disorder... Oddly enough that piece was...
