    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I did just same the very first time that I rode clipless. Mine was pulling up to a junction of a busy A road. Thankfully a car driver saw it happen, turned around and made sure that I was okay. I couldn't get off the bike!:D It did hurt though. Ref the crash, you are in good company.;)

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I'm going to have a to play with mounting the camera on the bike, and I guess that this short section from about a week ago is as good as any to use for reference. So I'll try it again next week. This was taken with the chest mount, but I have no idea currently what the settings on the camera...

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    For the record, you did in fact write second quoted piece. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-do-i-make-it-go-faster.8171/page-2#post-102301 I posted the statement to highlight a threat that even you have openly admitted to, but seemingly now choose to deny having written. Admittedly...

    What camera settings are you both using to prevent the shake? I'm crap with this kind of stuff, so any tips appreciated. :)

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    Two quotes from you Dave. "People are only worried because people like you are stirring them up and misguiding them." And the second. "The problem comes when a pedestrian jumps out on you without looking and you break their arm. Then the police will certainly check you bike, and when they...

    E-bike prices

    I think that some have missed the point of this bike., which would be fast road or fast commute. It's not about utilitarian comfort, so if you require larger tyres, suspension forks, suspension seat post and factory fit mudguards, I'd suggest that this bike probably isn't for you. :) Raceblade...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Izzy, you might need to look into that one a bit harder to make sure that it will work for your set up. Remember that handlebars are tapered and angled, so unless you are going to use it in the centre position, where you were saying that there is no room because of the display, the...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    If you are riding off road, it's going to be too bumpy mounting an SJ4000 to the bike. A chest mount is a far better option. A second handy hint is that you will find that the mounts move and don't grip. Using some wet and dry or emery cloth, rub the mating surfaces to take the shine away from...

    E-bike prices

    I agree, and think that it is an aspect of the market that has been sadly lacking. The nearest offering being the lovely looking Boardman Oxygen conversion bikes, but as many don't want to fit their own kits. the Woosh would make a very viable off the shelf option. Certainly in my neck of the...

    E-bike prices

    Nice looking bike, and very refreshing not see crap coil front suspension that's fitted to so many sub 1k bikes. I'd prefer to see more road biased bikes fitted with a ridged front end. I suspect that it should sell well. From the photos, the only thing that I would change long term would be a...

    Right... I'm going tubeless

    I was shocked at the weight of the Hutchinsons, and did mean to weigh them before fitting, but forgot. The weight was the reason the last guy didn't fit them and sold them on. I guess that you can't have reinforced side walls etc without a compromise on weight. His loss was my gain. :)

    Right... I'm going tubeless

    Without doubt, tubeless is the way to go. I didn't have much success with the Stans set up, as the product went off too quickly and balled up. This resulted in failure after just months, and up until a few weeks ago, I'd been running one tyre with a tube, and one without. When a large flint hole...
