Not at the moment

My neoprene battery cover combined with correctly adjusted battery mount cradle screws holds the battery very securely and adds some more shock absorption to the way the battery is held making everything very quiet. Although I have not taken advantage of this benefit it would help protect the...

I keep my neoprene battery cover on in the summer with no ill effect that I can detect. I do now ride in eco and off on the downhill bits off road, but do now use the middle assist of the three I have available on my 2015 yamaha system on the steeper uphill road riding bits,

I have just read the link review of the bike you were riding. Damaging that bike has to hurt almost as much as hitting the car.

Classic Volvo driver! Never nice when that happens.

I had a very similar accident in October 2014 where a car turned right into a side road I was cycling towards giving me nowhere to go accept into the side of his nice Audi car. It was a nice day so I was in a T shirt and shorts, ouch. My language was quite colourful for a while until I calmed...

As a Winter commuter I concur in respect of mittens. I wear pound shop wool style gloves under my trusty waxed cotton motorcycle over mittens that I bought a long time ago and are still incredibly water proof and warm. They are starting to wear out now and don't seem to be made any more which is...

A bit chilly this morning with -5 on the display for my 10 mile road trip. Used 37% of the battery. The road conditions were OK with a bit of fog here and there. I put a thin jumper on over my thermal top and under my wind proof cycle jacket and actually overheated.

Mans best friend may not reciprocate the sentiment but does make a useful depth gauge.

I ride my bike to work and back, and have just completed five days too and fro and 150 miles in total. My bike lives in a garage at home and in a dry room at work but if it rains during the journey it gets wet and I have had no problems with the electrics. I do check the weather before each...

Agreed, but I like the two combined.

My battery cover silenced any rattling noises my battery made in its cradle, the squidgy material seeming to help to hold the battery gently but firmly in place where it was squeezed against the frame. Whether the extra insulation does any good I am not sure.

For London you might want to consider a proper folder so that you can take it onto trains etc.

I traverse a wooden bridge on my route to work and wet muddy boards need to be treated with much respect.

Is it not beyond the ingenuity of man (ebay battery supply man) to find a way to refurbish the Yamaha and Bosch batteries. Surely they cannot be that protected from tampering for a professional to find a way of doing so. Surely the batteries inside cannot be that different. With the high price...

I could not get today off so topped the battery up and set off to work for one shift before having another two days off. The temperature on my Yamaha LCD display was showing 2 degrees, but the sun was shining and I did not feel cold. I took the camera so I could take a few pictures on the way...

Happy Xmas all you Winter commuters. I had a pattern of four shifts to do from Monday 19th, finishing on Thursday 22nd of December before my Xmas break, with the start times all in the afternoon. That meant four splendid 16 mile off road trips to work with 10 mile on road return trips...

I had not fallen off for a while, obviously getting complaisant, doing a downhill single track on the way to work a couple of weeks ago with a central gully full of leaves that I had strayed into and thought I would pop out of, however the leaves were camouflaging the severity of the lip out...

I am not sure if 1250 miles for a chain and cassette used a lot off road and then pounded 10 miles home mostly in eco in high gears 8/9, is bad or not. Obviously I would like it to last longer. It is always the 12 tooth top gear and occasionally 14 tooth gear 8 that start to show signs of wear...

I am on a train with 15 mins of free wi fi so will have to reply another time. I am using a 42 tooth chain ring and cheap shimano cassettes (see above) with 12 tooth top gear and 14 tooth gear 8. I use eco a lot and travel mostly in gear 8 at 19 ish mph. this set up lasted 1250 miles last time...
