Yes,its a long way between pubs (& houses) but a great place to live,safest in the country in the crime tables. Downside is you have to ride a long way to get anywhere. Upside is Hamsterley forest is only 5 miles away and has some excellent trails. I just hope summer starts soon...

Didn't realise they were hydraulic. I think when you set max speed to maximum it maybe doesn't regulate it. Fastest I have been on this is 49.9mph(on gps and Strava) but I think going down a 25% hill helped there!

You can set your wheel size correctly and set max speed to 50kph as I have on my 29er and it pulls happily to 34Mph which I think will be faster than yours will go being a 500w as opposed to my 750w. To be honest,with those brakes, I think 30Mph will be plenty!

I had a quick ride over the North Yorkshire moors last week. https://www.strava.com/activities/357542477 And a week earlier went up Teesdale into Cumbria https://www.strava.com/activities/352476404 The reason for one good ride a week is we have only had one day a week of decent weather...

Advertising e-bikes on disability forums may be a way forward for one section of the market. For mountain bikes you need a dedicated event with press and maybe local tv coverage. Not an easy feat but possible

The people inside the yellow lines canot be seen by the driver!!!

I got mine from Emax bikes. £20 delivered to UK from Aus and took 5 days. http://www.emax-ebikes.com.au/store/p37/BAFANG_Programming_Cable.html

I have a Smart Sam Plus on the back of mine (same size) and its excellent. Plenty of rough trails and no punctures yet.

My Cannondale You could use an Additive bag on the Specialized but they are £100+ delivered.

On the Bafang lcd's you press the power button and -- button at the same time. Its not possible to wipe the total mileage though.

I use KMC X8 chain and in 2077 miles have not had a single problem. I also used to change gear under power when using the first 3 out of 9 assist settings. I have fitted a pushbutton to one of the brake disconnects a couple of weeks ago and now use that when changing gear. The first chain was...

What make is your 42T chainring? I hane never lost a chain off even when jumping off kerbs and on rough root covered tracks and mines a standard Bafang chainring. I do have the front derailleur fixed in place on mine .

It got a real good wash just an hour later! Before setting off on this ride I gave the chain a good coating of Muc-off 4 step chain oil and its still on the chain and no trace of sand on it either. I guess thats partly because I only rode slowly through the loose stuff(not that I had a choice!)...

I have a 44\t front and 34-11T rear. The 11T is only used on downhills as it alows pedalling up to 38Mph. I weigh 17 stone and with 48Ah of batteries on,the bike can weigh another 4 stone almost.

Had a ride along Seaton Carew beach the other day. Had to push it through the last 5 yards of soft sand before the high tide mark but otherwise it did great.

Our local police force have found a way round the latest cutbacks. Found this as well Our local ambulance service use this non powered bike.

I would go for the 750 for your needs as its not much more than the smaller versions and you can limit the power simply by selecting a low assist level . I started with a 250 watt motor and within weeks moved to a 1000 watt hub as the 250 could not manage my local hills at all. The 1000 was...

I have a rechargeable led lamp on the rear and use it(flashing) whenever on main roads. The camera makes it look bright but really it was very dark and almost like night at its worst point,thats why I ended up riding on the grass verge.

I got caught in a major thunderstorm yesterday with my BBS02 and it never missed a beat even where the road was under 4 inches of water. It was so windy it was blowing the rain sideways and I could only see 20 feet in front of me. The lightning actually burned a house down just 2 miles north of...

I use a pair of Meanwell NES 350-48 power supplies to charge my Multistars. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mean-Well-MW-48V-7-3A-350W-AC-DC-Switching-Power-Supply-NES-350-48-UL-PSU-/370887902167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item565aa443d7 Wired in parallel they charge at 17.3 amp. You need to set them...
