Which do you think is the better designed and looking bike?:D

I think I'm ready to place an order for a motor for my Mezzo but it doesn't look like I'll be able to get the motor built into the wheel by GBK or BMS (still waiting for replies from both)..as my wheel rims are 349mm. Someone mentioned somebody on here who can build wheels? I have a...

Check out this unusual website made by a guy who decided to cycle 3,000 miles around our wonderful country for sponsorship which he donated to charity! He wasn't on an e-bike either, so it's all the more remarkable. The site is like a blog of his journey which covers the planning stages and...

Has anyone fitted indicator lights to their bike and if so can you recommend any? I spotted these cheap and cheerful ones on eBay... I wonder if they're bright enough to use in daytime or just for night use.. I suppose you could buy them and modify with higher power LEDs and run off your...

Hi all! FINALLY after months and months of searching I've purchased another bike for doing my second conversion... I've been looking for something lighter and smaller to replace my 26" folder as I have a bad knee can't carry it up and down stairs any more. Anyway I need a bit of advice as I'm...

Hi all! FINALLY after months and months of searching I've purchased another bike for doing my second conversion... I've been looking for something lighter and smaller to replace my 26" folder as I have a bad knee and can't lug it up and down two flights of stairs everyday. I need a bit of...

Off-topic but interesting story reported by the BBC this morning suggesting new research indicates electric cars may not be the answer to greener transport. It suggests they may actually be worse than conventional cars for pollution in some areas.. it's not that clear cut though and research...

Hot off the press... anyone who has been following the long-standing rivalry and legal battle between the South Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung and Apple for dominance over the smartphone market in US might be interested in this latest twist...it seems Apple has prevailed over Samsung...

Couple of questions: 1) Generally speaking, are controllers made to work only with a certain motor, or is there a chance a controller will work with other makes of motor? Is there any risk of damaging the controller and/or motor by trying an unpaired motor and controller? 2) I've seen...

I've made lists before I know and been putting this project off for months, but now I have a pressing need with my osteoarthritis...I absolutely need a smaller lighter bike, so I'm determined to get a bike asap... Here's my current candidates...in no particular order.. Dahon Mu Uno...

Hi all, Due to an increasingly work load and very busy study schedule I'm not able to commit enough time to our CycleCharge project which many of you have kindly supported and donated to since the beginning of the year. As a result, the project has not progressed as much as it could be doing...

Ok this may seem a daft question, I dunno.. since I won't be using my 26" bike for a few years, it seems a shame to leave the motor on it and pay another 350 quid for a new motor for my next bike conversion (I'm downsizing to 20").... so I got to thinking, would it be possible to take the motor...

Hey all, what a great day it's turned out weather wise! Hope everyone is enjoying it and using their bikes...the weather has been weird lately with all this heavy rain eh. I've just got back from my first ride today in over 4 months!! So strange riding after all this time.. was like the...

Hi all, I've asked this question before but couldn't get a definitive answer so I'm hoping this time someone will be able to advise me.. I'm looking to buy a 20" (rear) wheel 36V/250W motor for a new conversion I'm doing... rather than use a new controller, I'd prefer to just buy the wheel...

I'm posting this as I don't know where else to put it and haven't been able to contact the site admins directly (the contact links at bottom aren't linked to anywhere) so hoping they will see it.. Basically the image uploading doesn't seem to be working too good. On Epiphany browser the...

Another quick post... on a personal note this time.. I've had a long-standing knee problem diagnosed this week as osteoarthritis of the knee. It's got so bad the last week I can hardly walk and have to use a stick (and I'm only 40!). Because of this it looks like I won't be able to continue...
