Everyone I talked to today had the same chuckle over this but all agreed, including myself, that it was well earned. WTG Andy

I must agree strongly with this. My latest brush with my fate came two weeks ago at the hands of the driver of a car whom was breaking the rules, driving carelessly and with total disregard to my well being. A high end car driven by a man in a suit whom supposedly was "trained and licensed"...

Quote what I said in its entirety, especially the part where I said "drivers of cars", thanks. Having said that, you are correct if one were refering just to cars. Just like guns do not kill people, people kill people. I get that.

When do you wish to be treated the same as a pedestrian. Driver of cars and bikes as well as pedestrians break the rules, are careless and inattentive. Where does everything you mention stop. Unfortunately cyclist and pedestrians are classed as vunerable compared to cars. Cars kill and injure...

Low tyre pressure is a real range killer too.

You could do two 18 mile journeys on a 575wh battery before recharging quite safely with no damage to the battery. That's why you get a large battery. Battery life is determined by charge cycles. 700 to 1000 charges is the life of most lithium batteries. The more you charge them the capacity...

The Upstart and Wisper with standard batteries have similar ranges, about 30 to 35 miles. This will be slightly lower in the winter due to the cold. This means, at an 18 mile round trip, you would be hard pressed to make two complete journeys. This would mean daily charging which would shorten...

Holy apples and oranges Batman! Two very different bikes indeed. Just to get this out of the way, a test ride of both is necessary before you buy. Moving on, I like both for different reasons but for the distance you are going to be traveling, I would scrape up two hundred more pounds and go for...

I have tried both the Shimano Steps and Bafang crank drives. Bafang : Quiet, smooth and strong. Not as strong as the Yamaha but for the Freego 700c city style of bike it was, it was very nice and a joy to use. Shimano Steps : My only exposure to this system was on the Raleigh Strada E. It was...

I think, by what the op is saying, they needs to get use to their bike and how it works or get it fixed if there is a problem first. Not everyone is interested in modification of their bikes to operate outside legal and EU regulations. The op stated they used their bike on the road. Hope this...

If there are no error codes showing do not be disappointed if the shop can not diagnose the problem straight away. The mechanic will probably have to call the cube tech support and walk through the issue together. I had the Bosch training through Raleigh and I have not heard of your experiences...

"Huston, we have a problem!" Apologies for my misinterpretation. Your bike is certainly not working correctly. Aside from taking it back to the dealer, check the position of the magnet, on the wheel, to the sensor mounted on the frame. That is the only easy fix for your performance I can think...

Selecting the right gear and pedaling at at least a 80 to 90 rmp cadence will minmize the "driving onto a field of mud effect" when hitting the 15.5mph cutout. If your tyres are under inflated this will make the drag worse. The only thing that is happening at this point is that you are now...

The torque has a much different feel than the SE. The torque model has a lot of different operational features from the SE and offers both a cadence, throttle and torque drive experience. The torque model is pricier but has better spec. Like any opinion of bikes here, a test ride of the bike or...

There are a lot of low end bikes that shouldn't but do have kits fitted. I would not ride them without a kit because of their lack of strenght and build quality. Yes, there are many ebikes designed from the ground up to be ebikes. Again their build quality differs, usually based on how much they...

My determining factor on either bike would be supplier warranty support.

I tend to agree as their 905SE is listed at the new price and correct. There are no differences in the two bikes other than frame style. Cheers

Any brand of lock with a Sold Secure Glod or Silver rating should be fine. In fact, a lot of insurance policies require this level of security for bikes over £1,000. A Sqire Eiger 230, Gold Standard Lock, is £49.99.

Your bike may not be set up correctly for you. You can go to a good bike shop or one of your local cycling clubs for advice on what is right for you. Raising or having a riser fitted to your handlebar stem may help. As well, a suspension seat post fitted take a lot of the rough of the road. I...

I know what you mean about the old school full suspension being bouncy. It was basicly a coil spring and nothing to provide dampening. Today's ebikes with full suspension are a completely different animal with some great setups on offer. Most will adjust to very stiff or lock out altogether to...
