    The EBIKE Law that doesn't make ANY SENSE (and it DISCRIMINATES)

    Guys, please stop posting silly Youtube videos. Each time I watch something like that my IQ drops by 1. ;)

    Complete Beginner, what should I buy?

    A bit? LOL. You want bike as easily accessible as possible. Small outdoor shed would be ideal. I would really try to arrange something. Maybe talk to landlord?

    You don't want to press that button accidentally while driving it.

    Most efficient travel

    I bought a petrol car 11 years ago. Paid £10K for it. By now it lost probably around 80% of it's value. I won't even mention how much I have paid to keep it running over the years. Cars in general are a very poor investment. Short or long term.

    Illegal ebike crackdown Coventry

    Where I live there is a cycle path in pedestrian area in city center. One can't ride there because pedestrians infiltrate from all directions. Somehow nobody orders them to stop and dismount their shoes. It is just another case of discrimination and unequal treatment ;) I go to city center...

    Why not front hub conversion? Better option IMO

    So if cyclist does not dismount when ordered it might result in a £100 fine... Aren't they funny...

    Right... Sounds like a lot of problems ahead. Perhaps I better take a step back and maybe consider converting my vintage hard tail. Thanks

    There are other nice frames on sale there. Have a look, maybe you will find something more suitable.

    Vitus Escarpe 275 CR Mountain Bike

    Vitus Escarpe 275 CR Mountain Bike

    It is aluminum frame I think. I was thinking about mid drive conversion for a while to ride with my son on more challenging mtb tracks. Full suspension would be a nice bonus.

    Vitus Escarpe 275 CR Mountain Bike

    I know only what is written on web page. I am more concerned about battery. Didn't order it yet... Still trying to resist temptation... Wife won't be happy if I buy. Not sure if it is worth to test my marriage ;)

    Current yose kit build

    This "Front suspension" label is a bit misleading, isn't it? ;) Rack looks flimsy, but much better than before. Is it Topeak MTX compatible?

    Following on from my introduction to this forum I have questions

    Ok... is it still silly question time? My turn now: What about when battery is charged? Switch charger off and disconnect battery or disconnect battery and then switch charger off?

    Great to keep battery in. Just be careful when you open it. I have an impression you don't have a wife yet. If I bought something like that I would be living in the shed together with this safe.

    Following on from my introduction to this forum I have questions

    I have a very average skin thickness I guess. I just cycle around blissfully unaware somebody might be looking down at me. Actually suspension works better than I expected. I bought it during big covid/brexit bike famine and sold it to my daughter as "best bike money can buy". She believed me...
