Is there not a one sided ear phone option, thus allowing the unused ear to sense some of what is audibly going on about? Or is the loss of stereo a step too far, even just for when cycling?

Is there not something of a challenge in having a folding mountain bike, particularly those shown where the fold is at the point of maximum bending moment? Is this not a case of "MTB style"?

Why two motors, because if both could drive, the most obvious logic of having two, the installed power could easily take it over the legal power limit to use on highways/ cycleways open to the public, without insurance and certification. Then there is the twist, would the employer want to be...

I take the battery off as well, on the basis the bike less a battery has more limited resale value. But I never rest comfortably leaving it, a downside of e-bike ownership.

An observation; it would not be legal without the correct licence and what that brings, to use a 1000W on UK or EU highways, so that also includes bridleways. The complications of getting it licenced could be a challenge.

"they have increased bike space from two to ten bikes, and plan 20 bike space by febuary." https://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/first-scottish-bike-bus-route-launched-from-berwick-to-edinburgh-1-5053267 Great idea, but my reading is that the space is for two bikes in each bus, the increase...

A natural step would be to integrate a "motor" into the package. Then, with a Gates belt it all becomes to me very appealing, at least in concept.

"Warranty cannot and should not cover all reasons." Completely agree, nor should the CRA 2015, where issues are not design, manufacturing or dealer caused problems. "The only time I've ever seen a broken seat bolt is on my own bike when my seat kept coming loose, so I did the bolt up nice and...

Bike dealers are not alone in needing a little "formal" reminding of the very powerful Consumers Rights Act 2015, and it sharpens their response to be told the ramifications of ignoring it. Good result and a service to us all for pushing it.

I have wondered what the logic is in having electric bike lights powered by a dynamo, when there is a battery on board? My wife's Kalkhoff Agattu being a case. All I can think is safety for getting home in the dark after flattening the battery.

Can you configure Google maps to "work" without a data connection, something in my preferred rural ride areas is not available? This is why, on the road I use MAPS ME, even if having planned in other ways where I can access OS, Google maps etc.

If you use the "app" MAPS ME on your phone or tablet and fathom out how to ask it for a route for a "cycle", it will by and large use cycling routes as well as lower traffic use minor roads. This app once installed does not need a phone data connection, it allows you to download local maps onto...

Because the kinetic energy involved is related to the speed squared? So, going from 15.5 mph to only 20 mph results in 66% more energy.

For my "good lady" I would definitely hang in with the Agutu for its use of the Nexus hub gears, and with that, the more robust chain, one she is unlikely to ever get jumping off. They don't get best pleased putting them back on!

Yes and yes. But I like our Nexus 8, used together with its Gates belt a lot more.

Not an e-bike but related and could cause us issues when these are so readily available. Or is it just me who thinks these will cause issues, and possibly harm? Their promo sheet said from the 19th inst. On that you need a magnifying glass to read it is illegal on highways, including roads...

Would those so-called "butterfly" bars so favoured by the Dutch help? They give you a wide range of holding options.

You have "woken-up" the battery, by pressing its button? These go to sleep if not use for several days but I expect you are well aware of that.

I for decades have had Defender 110s and for the last 14 years a Disco3-4, where I have used a plank with three and in later years two fork clamps screwed to it in the fashion of this link: http://williampedalson.blogspot.com/2012/05/minivan-bike-rack_27.html Being an engineer with access to a...

Ours is a 2016 Kalkhoff Agattu and we have never to my knowledge ever used the key when installing the battery, just positively click it into place. And it is fitted and replaced after every ride, so done a couple of hundred or so times. Clearly we need the key to get it out. I recall the...
