    Connecting a charger correctly?

    Could it be that different ciruitry requires a different order? Both of my instruction manuals are emphatic about not doing it the other way around or things may be damaged.

    Connecting a charger correctly?

    My Woosh says that too and yet I have a small mobility buggy and that says connect charger to mains and then charger to battery both Lithium batteries. Is it possible there are different set ups that require different order?

    This looks a well specced bike?

    From everything I've read on here, this bike looks well specced. Not a well known retailer though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281667267731?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    UK to Harmonise Electric Bike Law with Europe?

    Phew, just ploughed my way through all this legaleeze! ...and really only have just a hint of what is/isn't allowed. So I figure for clarity I shall ask where I stand in regards my specific situation. This will help others as I know there are many in similar circumstances. It really doesn't...

    Holy moly... Any thoughts on this bike?

    I guess the look will divide opinion but really I wanted to know if the 100km range could be true and if this was a high spec bike as it seems to be getting sold off cheap. there's not much spec available but people may have seen or tried one.

    Holy moly... Any thoughts on this bike?

    Aside from the look are these actually any good? They claim 100km assisted distance and are being knocked out quite cheap now.

    Bike for specific needs?

    Hi all, so I have been using one of the electric mopeds for quite a while now and it has been great for me, having mobility problems. Now I have problems with blood pressure so I need something with more of an excersise tilt. I can only pedal for brief periods and then need the throttle to...

    What should i buy? Trike/eped/allseasons emotor/ e scooter moped..

    The info on the Eped not climbing hills is simply wrong. I am 14 stone and mine quite happily climbs hills without assistance.
