Nice write up, bike looks good too :cool: Gaz

Move house - or time for a career change then?:rolleyes: Wind knocked my battery down by 25% in four miles the other day. Gruelling :mad: Gaz

Small wind turbine on your handlebars, topping up the battery is the answer :D Or alternatively giving up and turning around. Life's too short - go with the flow! Gaz (Hater of every wind except a soft, gentle summer breeze as I watch the condensation trickling down the side of a nice pint;))

Roll on next Thursday Malc! :cool: Be really interested to see how you get on with it. Gaz

Hello Dawn :) Happy to recommend the Moon LX760 - all you'll ever need to see where you're going: https://www.merlincycles.com/moon-lx760-front-bike-light-85854.html Gaz

Hello BK :) If you live in a flatter area, then I guess you could go for the Bermuda, but if you're going to put it under a lot of load, go big or go home. If I were you I'd want to try both, then make my mind up from there. I quite like the idea of warning people about the big bear in my...

Evening Rikk :) Gaz

Evening Norrie and Caroline :) Welcome aboard. Keep the bikes in the garage, but the batteries and displays in the house. Gaz

Hello Jaq :) Do you mean that after 20 mins you need to be able to go along on throttle only (i.e. stop pedalling)? Gaz

Hello Taffyteg :) Gaz

No such thing as a silly question. Yes, integrated lights are an option (I don't have integral lights) and yes, that would be the button for them. As for it doing something else. If you were to buy something to de-restrict this bike (fitted inside the motor housing rather than outside), then...

'fraid not, I have a derailleur. I'd quite like to try a hub geared bike though, just to see what they're like. Gaz

Why rim brakes? Better off with discs surely. I've a STEPS CD, but for commuting on the level, I'd seriously consider a hub drive next time. Woosh's Satana certainly looks up your street:) I'd consider a Wisper 705 Torque too. Gaz

Mine drops off at 18% or thereabouts, and funnily enough goes to 8% as well. I've run it right down to 0%, just the once. It was alright ticking down from 8% though and I think the 18% issue is also affected by what demand I'm putting on it. I keep it topped up now, so with an 8 to 10 mile...

Setting off: 10% gone at 6 miles: 28% gone at 13 miles: Nice watering hole: Helpful road signage: 24 miles in total, 47% left: And the range left if I'd kept going: That's a fairly typical weekend pootle for me. Gives you an idea. Mixed riding, found a good few hills up...

Well I can categorically say I can ride mine with the battery and display left indoors. I've run out of battery once so far and that was less than a mile away from home. It was quite hard going (up hill, into the wind of course:rolleyes:), but do-able. I was being flippant in my previous...

Very disappointed that having discovered my walk assist, it doesn't work with me sat in the saddle. So it really does do what it says on the tin :rolleyes: Gaz

Couldn't agree more. I've often wondered what all the fuss is about. Yes, they can be a bit tighter than others, but nothing insurmountable in my experience. Gaz

My Whyte Coniston has a realistic 'best' range of 40 miles on easy rides, flipping between all power levels. Factor in some proper hills (Beachy Head in my case) or some cracking headwinds and I'll be lucky to see 30 miles. Turn the battery off and you can go as far as you like! I've been...

Not sure I'd be happy to pay that much for one. Don't think that particular review does much to make it seem value for money either. Gaz
