Ever wonder why there are big double disc brakes on the front of a motocycle and a tiny single disc on the rear? On top of that the rear brake has a bypass valve that prevents the rear wheel from skidding, hense greater control in panic stop situations. Witnesses to an accident, that I avoided...

A few things here. Firstly, I ride 60 to 75 miles a week in all kinds of weather. I am on my second chain and the bike has almost 3,000 miles on it. I use GT85 only and lubricate every two or three weeks (when I check my tyre pressure). I clean it every two or three months. Secondly, it is not...

Try googling shimano revoshifter or shimano index shifter. They make them both in 7spd.

I would like to wish Pedelecs and all the members a very happy and safe New Year. I would like to thank all of the forum participants for their insights, comments, and information regarding a very wide range of topics. Especially helpful to this new comer to pedelecs was the vast amount of...

Wow! But the price..........ouch! But like I said you get what you pay for. A tad out of my budget.

Another thing that leans me toward the Yamaha trekking is the 20 speed gear train set up. You could really cover some serious daily tour distances without killing you battery. A cycle tourer's dream come true.

I have rode both systems, most recently the £2400 Yamaha powered trekking. I really like the way the power cuts in compared to the Bosch system. Given the choice of similar bikes I might be tempted to take the Yamaha, except..........yes there is always the except. If you saw a power and torque...

Just remembered, I believe it was a Gitaine.

You might try looking online for a rear tandem bike cable. I do recall seeing a thick inner on an Italian built tandem.

And do not forget "the warrenty is void if you use a dongle" thingy.

It seems that like everything that happens in life is going to generate different takes from different people. All are entitled to their opinion. Here is our take on "the commercial". I was half paying attention to the television when the strains of Silent Night made me look up at the screen. I...

Amen

I'll go along with that. Thanks again John :-)

Not my cup of tea but a brilliant bike to ride with or without power. The price at £799 is right as well.

That is a great way to operate a motorcycle. I owned bikes up to 1100cc when I rode and I did ride assertively. But I could keep my place in the flow of traffic. I had the power and manuverability to avoid situations. I maintained my "presence" on the road with an assertive stance and...

It is like a battle field on the road. I do not agree with the assertive approach at all. Yes by all means keep a steady and predictible course. However, if you start being assertive on a bicycle in traffic and you're going to get hurt. Kind of like a soldier with an empty rifle confronting a...

Ths is a Bosch statement and there are very many people that sell Bosch powered units that had ths information before today. KTM was the first to make this public on this forum. How anyone wants feel about this is, of course, should feel free to express their opinion. Just don't shoot the...

Indeed!

A Bosch representitive recently told me same thing almost verbatem. It translates to me that performance dongle users are going to left high and dry if their bike fails during the warrenty period. He went on to say that equipment used to diagnose Bosch systems can detect use of performance...

I had a test ride on one of Hiabike's new Yamaha powered crank drives. It was amazing. I have a panasonic BH and there was no comparison. I am now saving earnestly in anticipation of a new Sduro Hard Seven.
