The trouble with the UK at the moment is that the charger you are planning to use on your longer journey could easily not be working leading to extreme range anxiety! I do not change my car often but did recently and had a hard look at the VW Passat GTE estate, a hybrid that was very...

Well today was my first ride out on my crank drive hardtail haibike since my operation and it was lovely to be out in the fresh air. Probably like many families we shop at several supermarkets buying the the things we like best from each and we were running out of a few items we get from the...

On that Magishine site the smallest light looks an absolute steal https://www.bikelightsuk.com/lights/front-bike-lights/?Page_ID=3610&refpid=58781&id=741814

Based on my mileage and the way my battery has retained its capacity I do not think I have done it too much harm. Though for longer periods of inactivity I may now store in a room where the ambient temperature is cooler.

Hi GLJoe, yes you have picked out the contentious bit of my advise. I think I read somewhere on the internet a contradictory article about not letting your battery get too cold. I actually store mine at home in a large well ventilated walk in cupboard which also houses a floor standing boiler...

I bought some Endura Strike Gloves that are waterproof and warm when temperatures are low. I bought mine from Evans. For a wind proof waterproof top layer I use the Altura Night Vision Evo Jacket specifically designed for cycling using a layering system of clothing underneath to keep warm...

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/has-d8veh-left-this-time-for-good.31720/ I am not sure. As you say Dave is a member held in high regard with a great deal of technical knowledge and very willing to help people with their bike problems as well as always up for a good debate.

The problem I had with side wall failure on Scwalbe Smart Sam plus only occurred to the rear tyre. I ride a hard tail mountain bike off road to work carrying two reasonably full Ortlieb panniers so the rear has no suspension, has to deal with the motor/pedal drive and carries more weight. The...

If you like the bike you currently have you can get it converted into an ebike by Brighton Bikes based in Brighton. https://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/

In 2011 I bought an Oxygen Emate City from 50 cycles in Richmond. Just within the two year warranty period I had a motor problem and contacted 50 cycles. They told me they had stopped selling Oxygen bikes and were unable to help me. I contacted Andrew direct who owned Oxygen at the time who...

Sorry to hear that Nealh. Any dramatic failure of a tyre has potentially very serious consequences. I heard of another member experience the same problem that I had and It put me off the brand. I have to say that the Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres that I...

That's not a Ducati, this is a Ducati

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/terry-scott-gets-badasse.24180 I loved the humour in this thread from some time ago. We all have entrenched views on this topic with the restricted lobby rightly able to take the moral high ground. If Wolfie were writing it today the rather lovely and...

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...

Although as a non tech eee it is strangely relaxing reading a thread like this I cannot but come to the conclusion that there is a massive elephant in the room. Take the bike back. Get your money back. Buy a different bike that is actually fit for purpose. End of. It is a brand new bike and...

I would actually recommend getting an extra battery asap to avoid the full to flat regime that you are inflicting on your battery at present and may be one of the worst ways to ensure the longevity and capacity retention of your existing expensive battery. It sounds as if your battery almost...

For me as a commuter how tough, puncture resistant and hard wearing a tyre is wins over all other considerations. The bottom line is that you really do not want any punctures if you need to be at work at a specific time. My Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in...

I had a problem with side wall failure leading to dramatic blow out rear wheel punctures on the rear wheel when I had a pair of schwalbe smart sam plus tyres fitted and now use another brand. The schwalbe tyre everyone speaks highly of is the Marathon plus and perhaps I would still be using...

The 400wh battery on my sDuro Yamaha 2015 that I commute to work and back on is the original one and still performs almost as well as it did when new. The bike has now covered 10190 miles. I charge the battery to full as close to departure as possible for my 14 mile cross country ride to work...
