    Suntours Carrera /Raleigh motors

    Not sure what that is . Had a Quick Look at the movements , I do not think the nylon gears effect the outer hub , they seem to move what looks like an Ali ring on the right angle . My guess would be this is the bit that wares out . I will have another look in the morning and look at a 2025...

    Got a cargo/Fat tyre Ebike 250watt are you sick of being told to get of cycle lanes and being shouted at by the uneducated

    Totally agree especially drivers who do not now know the Highway Code regarding giving way to cyclists. That seems to be most of them in London. I am sick of drivers tailgating me , when any one can see once past they will only come to a halt a few yards ahead into traffic, then they hog and...

Germany has in my opinion really embraced the need for Two wheels transportation so it does not surprise that are ahead of the game . Although their roads seem to be wider or more sensible to the safety of cyclists e...

    Are E-bikes overpriced?

    I see like ie ghost peddling, So for a 48V mid drive bike self build go for a Mid drive like Tong Sheg or Bafang that have been designed for bigger volts . I Put the Suntours seat post on the Raleigh I see what you all mean much better than the single piston one . Now I am thinking oil...

    Are E-bikes overpriced?

    Morning what type of rear suspension does your bike have , I was using a seat post one with a very good comfortable saddle which I miss due to my weight and pot holes . I would like to fit some thing on my Giant Entour is there any thing that can be done better than seat post suspension?
