All that fluffy snow looks rather splendid Deere John.

I did say meaningless due to all those variables of weather, gradient, weight, age, fitness, motivation, et al. This is my regular commute so I know the gradients and power levels that work best for me and try to aim for up to a 20 mph average with up to 40% battery consumption on the going...

Just to put down a meaningless marker I timed my undulating B road 10 mile return from work this evening carrying a pair of Ortleib panniers weighing together circa 10kg. No stop watch I just noted the time when the level crossing gates raised to allow my wheels to start turning and checked...

I have noted what you have said about the plus size tyres. The Ebike shop in Farnham have a last years model reduction Haibike sDuro hard seven with plus size tyres, a double chainring, 500wh battery and PW-X motor reduced from £3299 to £2699 tvery that looks good for my commute.

Hey Eddie, although I am a hard tail fan those frozen corrugations look very harsh and unforgiving.

A few pictures from my ride to work yesterday. The temperature gauge on my display started at a balmy 5 degrees and gradually sank to 3 before strangely rising back to 4. Mitchen Hall Plantation above Track emerging next to Rodshall Manor View towards Rodshall Manor from track exit...

For an old dinosaur like me you might have to explain the term "warhead". If I were to guess I might pontificate that you might be referring to what in the old days was called a spliff.

Now Zlatan there could be another way to approach your route with the dongle attached. The fastest time with the most battery left. With practice you might be able to get the perfect combination of very close to your fastest time and also close to having 37% of your battery left. The beauty...

I think a 20 mph top assistance speed would be a good compromise and a lot safer for cycle commuters on the road. I don't see any issues with lower speed limits on mixed use paths and a 20 mph top assist speed. Just like driving a car in a 30mph limit you just have to cycle at the...

Off course I made my children wear cycle helmets. Hypocrite I hear you cry

I do not disagree with any of the comments made. I just want to be able to decide myself whether I wear one or not. There are so many things in life that could be pivotal moments when you look back but my personal preference is to be able to make as many choices about my life and what I do...

I prefer not to wear one, and would be against legislation that forced everyone to wear one like Australia. In the country where more people ride a bike than anywhere else, Holland, people agree with me and don't wear one. However I think I am now in the minority in the UK where most other...

Specialised Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher tyres in 1.9”. Though I have found all the Armadillo branded tyres really good. I got mine from my local Evans Cycles. See my comment earlier in the thread.

Hi, a bit late to this thread. These batteries do not like regular deep discharges. My own commute is 16 miles off road to work and 10 miles on the road back home. I have a Yamaha sduro 2015 with 400wh battery like you, The way I manage my ride (ie eco, standard and off) I use about 40% of...

I am commuting on Specialised Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher tyres in 1.9” and now up to 1940 miles with no punctures and little wear showing. My ride to work today was 16 miles off road and 10 miles on tarmac. They are lighter than my previous schwalbe Smart Sam plus tyres and...

My Specialised Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher tyres in 1.9” are now up to 1940 miles with no punctures and little wear showing providing a great road biased off road tyre. They offer a great puncture resistant tough tyre alternative to the ubiquitous offerings from Schwalbe. I...

I remembered to take a couple of pictures on the way to work showing the Autumnal leaves on a track I ride.

Stand down on that panic. The next page of the manual allowed me to check the absolute battery capacity and my battery is still showing the highest battery capacity that can be indicated by this test ie 75% to a %100. Slightly blunt tool. However I can now delude myself that it is still %100...
