    Police ebike checks.

    and that's why I put those '' round the words 'the Police'. How the hell can you see some cyclist that has gone past you picking their phone up when you've got to concentrate on a winding path, uneven grass and not running into your dog? Give up.

    Police ebike checks.

    I'll be honest, I think you're full of it. You're cycling at 12 mph with many cyclists coming past you at what looks like faster than 12 mph but you notice when they've gone past, that one picks their phone up to ring 'the Police'.

    Police ebike checks.

    I've watched that video 3 times on full screen and I can't see anybody pull their phone out !! Apart from that you're going too fast.

    Case studies - how has your electric bike changed your life?

    No, that sounds really dangerous and now I've had to look them up - bloody hell. My Dad used to have a seat where I sat behind him 60 years ago and after decades I did see one of those child seats recently on a You Tube video where the bike fell over and the child fell out, I thought they would...

    Police ebike checks.

    That bloke is spouting BS and knows the 'tin pot enforcers' won't come after him. He sounds very knowledgeable but obviously isn't, if those had been proper Cops he wouldn't have been mouthy. You'll find there is no excuse for ignorance and anybody with an IQ of more than 1 knows it's not right...

    In 62 years I've never seen a trailer on a bike

    Thanks for that, you had me baffled.

    Case studies - how has your electric bike changed your life?

    You will have to explain that one, everything I take to the scrap yard (tip) needs a car to transport it or do you tow something?

    Case studies - how has your electric bike changed your life?

    Same here, my rides to work & back are my time to relax and I can put as much effort in as I want or take it easy. Even today I had a day off but still went out in cold freezing rain and loved every minute of it. And of course the traffic, I hit none on my bike. If I drove it would take 20...

    Police ebike checks.

    Only if it's a non motorised bike or it's got a motor which cuts off at 15.5 mph.

    Police ebike checks.

    Lads, this is hard work. Let's try an analogy: You have a car that is 100% legal, you have vehicle tax, insurance and it is MOT'd, you have nothing added to it that you shouldn't but if the Police have suspicions they can pull you over and look the vehicle over. You could blank refuse but you...

    Two new batteries, now both dead :(

    I've sent the email now, the battery was also twice as heavy :) I'll be happy with the 2x 36v 11.6's

    Two new batteries, now both dead :(

    I'm not a dishonest person but when opportunity comes my way I thought I could take advantage. I want two setups exactly the same so I can interchange if needed and I will never have intentions of going over 15.5mph on the throttle. I'll email them again for a return. Thanks Nealh

    Two new batteries, now both dead :(

    Big question My second replacement battery has just turned up and the idiots have given me a 48v 17ah battery instead. Will this work OK on my 36v bike and do I keep quiet about it? My main gripe is that I wanted two identical batteries to swap between bikes so I'm in a quandry now. Also what...

    Police ebike checks.

    Three broken ribs and a dislocated right arm, funny thing is I'd been in A&E on business earlier. The Paramedics kept me on the road for 30 minutes because they saw me fly through the air and land so thought I was worse. Passers-by then told them who I was "He works in Clinical Negligence" so...

    Police ebike checks.

    Three years ago I had a bad accident when a Nurse pulled out of a hospital exit and drove straight into me. The West Midlands Ambulance Service was a few yards away and 6 Paramedics & two Coppers were having a break and witnessed it all. My front wheel motor was a right off but they checked the...

    Two new batteries, now both dead :(

    I've acquired 5 chargers so I've just opened one up and took it down to 41v so I'll use that all the time. However, my intention is to swap the two batteries once a week no matter what bike I'm using, so on average they may do 50 miles one week and nothing the next. Would you advise that I fully...
