    Haibike Trekking/Cross?

    I have a Trekking RC model. In 1.5 years I have put just over 2,200 miles wonderful, trouble free mixed conditions riding on it. I have the 400wh model that gives me 45 to 60 miles range depending how ambitious I am. The new Trekking, with the 500wh battery, is a great improvement in range and...

    Cyclist hospitalised after riding across live rail

    He would have to have been bitten by a radioactive spider and accidently given some experimental drugs at the same time too :confused:

    Cycle or die?

    And this is the beauty of an ebike. Low impact and very flexible in its function. Being able to turn it off and it functions like normal push bike, or turn it up to full power it let the bike do all the work. Everything in between is the choice of the rider. It truly is an idea piece of exersice...

    Cycle or die?

    I ebike 60 minutes a day, three to four times a week. I know it helps me and I am sure it will help you.

    Cycle or die?

    I am no expert on the subject but perhaps this will help. It all has to do with your arobic rate while exercising. This is the level of your breathing and heart rate. Ten minutes of brisk walking will raise this rate but not to a harmful rate. The same conically inactive person who tries to run...

    905se Tyre Exploded ! Help needed on what happened and replacement options (with Video)

    I would think that this is a contributing factor especially if you were moving at the time it went down. The Schwalbe Marathon Plus or Plus Tour are very good options for replacement and more expensive than the original Kendas. Throw in a slime tube and many miles of flatless travel is ahead of...

    Chain line problems unable to shift to 9th gear

    Firstly, have you have a bike shop have a look at the limit scew settings and cable adjustment? Secondly, did you have the cassette replaced at the same time as the chain? Finally, is you gear shifter on your handle bar Shimano or Sram? Cheers

    Would compulsory insurance for all electric bikes put you off?

    Insurance? Bring it on! Registration? Of course! But I would also would insist on being able to use my video evidence to lay charges against every motorist that put my well being at risk. The reason I say this is because in every long list of comments about anything to do with cycling, motorist...

    Wisper 705se or Torque

    You will immediately see the difference once you test ride. They are both good bikes in their own right but the Torque really stands out with respect to quiet operation, power and smoothness. You will also appreciate the difference between the mechanic disc brakes on the SE and the hydraulics on...

    Carrera Crossfire-E bike Hub drag

    I believe you are way out of line here. D8veh, myself and others have replied at lenght to help figure out what is apparently a perplexing and unusual issue with your bike. Our responses where based on info you gave and other feedback to the thread. It seems to me that you are the only one with...

    Intentional hit and run.

    Which, of course, was a complete fabrication and only buried him deeper. Thank God his buddy had a cam.

    Intentional hit and run.

    The comments, made by non cyclist drivers on this and other articles dealing with accidents and cycling safety, are appalling. I was hit in a similar manner, as the young man in the video, three months ago. It was a glancing blow that resulted in a bruised hip, a broken rear axle and bent wheel...

    Carrera Crossfire-E bike Hub drag

    Not familiar with this type of bike. If it has a hub motor, the clutch of your planetary gears may be stuck at may need to be replaced. Daveh is also correct about the field of mud effect when the power goes away. This is made worse if your tyre pressure is low as well.

    Getting the stated mileage out of a battery

    I believe if you go back and read d8veh's comment again you will see that he is refering to comments made in 2010 and not the artice itself. I personally did not see where he was disagreeing with you. I have read the same artice in the past and things have changed since the original. And as for...

    Getting the stated mileage out of a battery

    My bike is rated for 85 miles on a full charge. The reality is 45 to 60 miles. My weight, the route I routinely travel, wind, temperature and my input ultimately determine my range. In the wintertime I can use it up in just over 30 miles as temps around freezing reduce the batteries' capacity.

    Would you pay for a test ride?

    How many dealers out there spend half a day with a customer explaining, demonstrating and test riding? Then to have the customer, full of new found knowledge, trot off to order the type of bike you sell online or somewhere else for £50 off. Worse, they show up on your door expecting service...

    Is this a public park or is it privately owned and operated? Is is any of its track on public land?
