    List of forum sponsors.

    I'm probably missing it as I guess that it is somewhere obvious, but I'll ask anyway. Is there forum sponsor list? I'm only asking as I have just discovered today, that there is an e-bike shop opening roughly seven miles away from me, and I'm just curious to know if they are active members of...

    1,000 miles of off road fun on the KTM Macina Lycan GPS+

    Whilst it's not a lot in the scheme of things when compared to those that use their e-bikes for the daily grind, the KTM Macina Lycan GPS+ hit the 1,000mile mark a couple of days ago. It's still not bad mileage considering my relatively short time of ownership, along with the fact that it only...

    Hard to fit tyres.

    Get your money out and give it to one of my mates. :)

    Now this looks appealing.

    There is no way that my knees could handle it, but this is very tempting. http://www.24hrace-stuttgart.de/en/674-premiere-24h-ebike-rennen.html I can dream. .

    Soldering irons

    Possibly a daft question, but having never really dabbled with that much soldering in the past, and not being able to find my existing soldering iron, I'd be interested to hear what others are using, or would recommend to someone (me). :) I'd also be interested in hearing/learning about any...

    I see that Hatti has made the Telegraph

    KTM Macina Lycan GPS+ First organised ride of the year.

    Posted here, in hope of inspiring others to get out there and ride. Wiggle Southern Rough Ride 2015. First of all thanks go to SRS for passing on his entry after mine hadn't been processed. Shame that you couldn't make it though. Had you made it, I'd have been happily sitting in the warm...

    One of those rides.

    In a very good way. :) Work fell through again today so rather than waste the day I popped out and put in an unintended 33miles of mainly off road riding. As usual things were very wet and muddy, but the ride looks as though it could have potentially created a couple more e-bike users. I was...

    Going tubeless

    After today, http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-many-people-are-using-there-e-bike-off-road.15780/page-21#post-249975 I can't recommend it enough. After much research and shall I shan't I, I recently made the switch from tube to tubeless. Over the last few weeks, the lad that I have...

    Statement from Bosch in relation to Classic line motors

    Not sure if this has already been picked up upon, but the following could be of interest to Bosch Classic line motor owners...

    And the kitchen sink

    Whilst out on the ride last night with the lad that I have recently started to ride with, we got talking about what spares etc that we each carry, and it turned out that we think along the same lines. I've long been conscious of the fact that my night time riding often takes me to places where...

    Another bike

    Okay this one isn't mine, but even after my first nine mile ride on it this evening on our icy cold roads, I already really rate it. Someone has kindly lent me a Scott Sub 10 with Alfine 8 hub and gates belt drive. The mudguards which incidentally have a rated load capacity of 35kg when fitted...

    Low powered, child friendly option

    I got talking about electric bikes today with my current client, and he had never heard about them before, but showed interest in respect of his handicapped teenage son. The lad struggles to walk, can't balance, but has one of these trikes, which he loves, but is hardly able to pedal...

    Battery/bike range test

    One aspect of e-bikes that leaves a massive gap for variation of and much over estimating of, is a bikes useable and realistic assisted mileage range. An idea that has been bouncing around my head, is to try a few different power systems/bikes out over a set distance, using one power setting...

    Something very wrong with my bike!

    I've been for a ride, and it's come back clean!!! :eek: The observant might notice a new accessory fitted to it. .

    Another ride on the KTM lined up this coming weekend

    This is possibly the last organised 'fun' ride for this year, although subject to getting hold of a suitable bike, and increasing my own fitness level, I'm currently contemplating taking part in a competitive winter three round cyclocross series. I had arranged to be back out riding again with...

    Attention to detail

    The bike cleaning/detailing thread had me going over something that I used to very much enjoying carrying out, and actually became very proficient at. The restoration of classic race bikes. I have always had a very good mechanical understanding, and pulling things down, and re assembling them...

    Bosch service youtube clip

    As the title. :) Can't say that I rate the workshop practice or the use of a market stall quality ratchet, but it still makes for an interesting watch.

    Three forum members, one ride.

    Today was when the Wiggle purbeck hill a saurus 2014 took place, and is was really great to have two other forum members also taking part in the ride. The word is finally spreading. :) This is just a thread starter, and hopefully WilliamTell and SRS will be along at some stage to add their...

    Youtube and E-mtb's

    How about an e-mtb YouTube thread. Your starter... This clip is a new one to me. :) The making of the film is also on there to watch. :)
