    Road bike commuter bike

    Hmm.. Actually found out a carrier isn't that heavy... 560g. It should be acceptable: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/tortec/tour-ultralite-rear-rack-ec006627 I have to check if it does accept 700cc wheels with disc brakes and if some carrier may be lighter.

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    What you told me gave me idea to try it, see what I did: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/road-bike-commuter-bike.19733/ I'm trying to have my bag without carrier but it seems difficult to do.

    Road bike commuter bike

    Hello all, As some of you may know, I've been changing strategy from having all my bikes at home to... having all my bikes outside. Having to park my bikes outside, it has few criteria: - It needs to be light so I can carry it upstairs when required - Battery has to be removable - It should...

    Xiongda 48V 2-speed motor kit

    Looking great. What's the top speed no pedaling of this motor at 48v? And power consumption at max speed? Any chance it could go to 25mph max speed? I'd consider getting one if that could do that

    Xiongda 48V 2-speed motor kit

    Not sure the value of the xiondga on a brompton??? With 16" wheel you shouldn't have torque issue?

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    Ah your one also has some cost and isn't cheap... i need to think again about the benefit of getting this and making it myself... I have currently a road bike and I'd like to keep things lighweight... so adding a rack isn't going to help.. Hmm...

    Mezzo folding bicycles & eMezzo e-bikes for sale

    Do you sell spare rear motor wheel? If so, what motor model it is and how much does it cost? I'm also potentially interested by the 2014 d8 charcoal without controller (i want sine wave) and battery (i'd put latest ncr18650pf or similar). What would be the cost?

    Which side pannier did you use? A lot of them seem to add noticeable width to the bike.

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    This is an example. What I meant is that I like the agility I get from the bike. And adding width is going the wrong way around in which I take more space. Obviously, when I have more time I don't filters car, but there are time where there is a massive traffic jam (quite common in london)...

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    Not sure to get what you mean... are you saying some fabric such as the one for boat should be the one I need for filtering cars, or is it unrelated?

    Video: How to put a booster battery on your ebike.

    Wow... What shocked me is that this multi-thounsand pounds bike is using cheap non waterproof connectors and cheap wires... I would have expected quality in the inside too for such an expensive bike. I wouldn't do that as there is a risk of frying the controller and void warranty at the...

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    I'm filtering the cars so close that I'm bending sideway to allow handlebar to go through. And sometime I have to move pedals around to avoid hitting the pedestrian pavements.. Not sure I can do that with side bags?

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    It does look nice but isn't it a side panier on the rear? It would significantly increase my bike width and will be a problem when I need to filter cars in london :(

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    Main benefit of fabric is that it is lightweight. Much more than hard cover. Fabric can also be already waterproof and with cordura and 1000D alike they are very much tear proof and strong.

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    Problem of these camera bag are that they are not made to fit my bike. There isn't any quick release to the bike, and I'd be left with the same frustration as I currently have. Unless they do specific range of camera bag for bicycle that I'm not aware of

    I have been thinking about that... some sort of warning so people don't touch that.. Biological sounds good. May worth a try :)

    Customs bag... and sewing machine?

    Hello all, I've been digging around amazon, ebay, aliexpress, wiggles and more... and I've never really found the type of bags I'm looking for. When they are slightly good enough for my needs, they are overpriced...
