First no show for the super sub. I have found a throttle on ebay that looks identical apart from the connector that I can hopefully splice to it from the old one.

It was hard to photo to show all the pins, and you did make me think, but after popping out to the garage and checking all three pins are present on the connector. The problem manifested itself with some strange symptoms. I was going to ride to work on it the day before yesterday. The display...

My throttle has stopped working on my £100 Ebike, that Nealh has christened "David". If anyone is able to post a link where I can buy as close a replacement as possible I would be grateful. Thanks

Have you tried nipping up the bolts that hold the chain ring on. I had something similar and that sorted out my noise.

More wind in the winter that definitely effects range. You mention riding on a tow path, when I ride on the tow path of my local river/canal I do not find I need the motor due to the speed and level gradient. I commute to work and back throughout the year and see the lowest level my battery...

Love my emate too, done countless miles on my 2011 one and managed to buy a second hand one in 2018 for a mere £100 that turned out to be almost mint after attaching everything that had been taken off, so now I have two, splendid...

Very Autumnal / Wet Dom T. I have not been commuting for 4 weeks and start again on Friday with a potential 6, 12 mile cross country to work rides and 10 mile road rides home. I think if I do them all it will be quite a wet and muddy 6 days and I will be bushed at the end of it. I will be...

With a decent budget you should consider Riese and Muller https://www.electricbikesales.co.uk/bikes/electric-bike-options/2020-riese-and-muller-superdelite-gt-rohloff-hs-silver__5102

Playing devils advocate https://wooshbikes.co.uk/2020/gran-camino/gran-camino-rightside.jpg Only £1,269 (17AH) including delivery. Hydraulic brakes, tough front fork, 650b wheels, powerful motor, large battery Looks good to me and will fulfill the same role. No locked in ebike system so much...

I agree with VFR about the throttle although mine are on old 2011 rear hub bikes they are very useful in many ways not least getting motor assistance straight away when starting from a standstill. Very useful on an incline or if you are in the wrong gear or your pedal is in the wrong position...

Godalming to The Devils Punchbowl and back via Thursley Common Bent tree adjacent to forked pond View over The Devils Punchbowl Single track traverse with view A quick 18 mile ride, setting off from my house in Godalming at just after 2:30pm, getting to The Punchbowl at 3:00pm with...

I have a lot of sympathy for you as for me being able to test ride different bikes was a crucial factor in getting a bike that suited me well. I still ride the first ebike I bought in 2011 a lot.

Rear Hanger When checked at home after my indexing went out on my ride to work described above I had bent the rear hanger again! Fortunately it could be carefully bent back to get everything properly aligned again, so a pretty easy fix. I have been told that some rear hangers have a bit of...

A good bike shop will change your front chain ring to lower your gearing. Bosch probably offer chain rings in different sizes, although any quality chain ring of the right type will be fine. For a bike shop taking a link out of a chain is simple. Getting the right gearing for your area and...

A more normal Autumnal cross country ride to work and road ride home but with a sting in the tail. The lovely lake I skirt around. Autumnal colours Avenue of trees Crooksbury I managed to throw out my gear indexing getting something caught in the rear mech. This was my first ride on my...

I did a leisure ride (I usually only use it to ride to work and back) yesterday and was aiming to explore an area about 10 miles from my home and do a big circle with about 3/4 off road. I used my 2015 Haibike and have found it very nice to ride with no assistance on level ground and that of...

I checked online quite recently using the reg and it was still on the road. In respect of the handling, at the time I thought it handled well, I even thought the single disk front brake was good as I could out brake my mates and other bikes of the time. I used to brace my elbows against my knees...

The bike I owned and was lucky to survive when I was 19 was a Yamaha RD400F, and even in today's traffic I am sure would have no trouble keeping up! I was offered an almost original one like mine a few years ago for £2,000 and should have snapped it up.

I might be very out of touch, and all my motorcycles are old, some very old, but I always thought that the sweet spot for a commuting motorcycle/scooter in terms of low running costs and performance was 125cc. Cheap tax, insurance and a reasonable turn of speed to be generally safer and able to...
