If it has to be an ebike pedelec member kangaroo recommended this one https://www.piratescave.co.uk/seago-folding-electric-bike.html

Done 10634 miles on my Haibike sDuro Yamaha March 2015 bike that I paid £1750 for and use over 50% proper off road. 9 speed transmission cheap to replace cassettes on. Absolute beast climbing hills. Still using the original 400Wh battery working well...

Quote " with bells they seem to cause pedestrians to jump out of the way and mutter comments about "B" cyclist thinking they own the place. " I have to say that my traditional "tring,tring" bell gets a very positive reaction from pedestrians that I approach from behind. As I also walk quite a...

I bought one of these on former member D8daves recommendation but have not used the bike I put it on much but although quite small it works really well. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html...

Just managed a record average speed of 19.6 miles an hour for my 10 mile hilly B road return from work. Quite remarkable. It was up to 20.3 to within a quarter mile from home but unfortunately that last bit includes a steep hill. Carrying a 100kg plus of little old me and two panniers.

Reading this thread makes me glad I have a hard tail.

There is a long tradition in motorcycles of putting an engine from one manufacturer in the frame of another, famously Triumph engines in a Norton feather bed frame. Lovely. Though I believe a fair bit of engineering skill was involved.

In your initial comment you said going "ding" did not work. I found the same with the newer style one ding bells but found a remarkable difference when I changed to a traditional "tring tring" bell that works very well. I think pedestrians do not automatically associate the modern one ding at...

Second commute of a potential four. A beautiful day. After taking this picture and getting back on the bike the front tyre had gone flat. I had pumped up both tyres yesterday and suspected the valve rather than a puncture. I tried pumping it up but it deflated and then as I was within a mile...

Hi Deere John a front hub drive bike is a style of bike that I have not ridden but can see that it could provide good traction combined with pedaling.

This was my ride to work on the 19th of March last year in sunny Surrey. I return to work today for four evening shifts with quite a bit of snow forecast so think of me riding home tonight/early tomorrow if it dumps tonight.

I use Ortleib back roller classic and within reason they can be adjusted to sit further back away from your heal on the rack very easily. A test ride is definitely the way to go. Like others the ability to overfill the back roller classic can be very useful and and a feature used more often than...

I continue to ride to work and back through the winter using an old Oxygen Emate city if I am riding on the road there and back 20 mile round trip and a Haibike Yamaha hard tail mountain bike if I am using a 14 mile cross country route to work then 10 miles back on the road. Apart from a...

Good spot flecc. Interesting. Being averse to over legislation I would be quite happy with the Danish approach.

Just a quick update. I have just used my £100 Emate for three return trips to work and 60 miles in total. They were early starts in cold temperatures and some persistent light rain on one trip carrying my normal two loaded panniers and 100kg plus me. The bike was as I bought her with original...

Great pictures rustbucket

Yes I have had my ups and only a few downs but really enjoy replacing a car journey to work and back with an assisted bike ride. The first motor that was replaced under warranty was actually fine apart from a worn bearing probably effected by water ingress, and I am now very careful when...

Hi Deere John, Yes it is good to work yourself a bit in the cold to warm yourself up, and although I have coped without a dropper post, and do not need one for the xc routes I use going to work, I can see how useful they could be on technical steep inclines.

That is a good question Dom T. A new 400Wh battery is £650 and a 500Wh battery £850. There are pattern ones available but from comments on other threads these have worked well for some and not for others. I believe the original battery can be re-celled. Against this is the fact that a brand...
