    The new best headlight

    Hi I'm hoping to hardwire lights into my bike - yamaha motor Output voltage is 6v front and back - Y-Splitter cables available for less that 20 Euros (as long as the £ holds out ! !) Initially looking at one of these. Busch & Muller http://en.bumm.de/products/e-bike-lights/lumotec-avy.html...

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    I took a similar approach to you Phil Not into shouting the odds unless it's needed. I received a similar reply from Mark at Giant this morning, shame there is no fix The upside is that it seems that Giant are a company who actually do respond - whether it's good of bad news - I've previously...

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    I agree, an annoyance - and won't ruin the fun I'm having with the bike - it really is a cracker.

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    I've been looking at the Busch & Müller lights - they seem decent quality and set are set up to work with e-bikes. Will have to make sure that they are bright enough - depending on which commuter route I take - it might get a bit dark. I'd prefer cabled in lights - I already end up carrying far...

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    Confirmation from my retailer also - kph and no fix now or in the pipeline. This issue aside - absolutely loving the bike - and making plans to get it setup for those dark winter journeys - wiring in lights etc - but that's a topic for another post . . . . . . .

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    Izzy - very true but for me - not really an option I'm considering - can't find an alternative bike - at a local(ish) dealer for the price I paid - which is the top end of what I could afford. Also had a crash on mine (probable over confidence on a bit of 'technical' track which was more of a...

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    Hi Mentioned in the earlier thread - I've purchased a Giant Dirt E+ Loving the bike - but the KPH / MPH issue bugs a bit. I've reported as a problem with my retailer today - and they have already asked for Feeback from Giant. If it becomes a more widely notified issue, there will hopefully be...

    Hello from Up North

    I used to cycle around Carnforth when I was younger - lived in Lancaster for a while. Scenery around here is pretty stunning - I walk through it as much as possible - and United Utilities have built a MTB track through one of the woodlands at Hurstwood Resevoir - so tempted to give that a go as...

    Bike Locks....

    Have to agree - even if there's a way to 'crack them' they should put off the passing or less organised thieves. Might invest in a set - as the shop I'm picking my new bike up from has the pinheads on Special Offer

    Bike Locks....

    Hi Has anyone any thoughts on the Security nuts and bolts from companies like Pinheads or Atomic22 Replacing the main fixings with security keyed versions. Not exactly a cheap - but if they work would make keeping hold of the bike parts much easier. Are these worth the money? I'm considering...
