I'm with Alex here, I think ebikers need to be extra careful especially if you're riding above 15mph in built up areas or through towns etc.. As an ebiker myself I'm consciously aware of the potential for nasty accidents on an ebike..you definitely need to use more common sense and care when...

Will do! :-) Be interested to know how you get on with your spy key camera.. perhaps sooner or later we'll come up with the ideal camera or solution for smooth filming ;-)

Thanks! The sound was slightly out of sync with the picture at the start of the second video due to my cutting the video up..it happens frequently unfortunately, just a quirk of the software I use to cut videos for YouTube which I haven't figured out.. the surging noise you hear is common on...

Yesterday I decided to have a go at filming a bike trip I had planned across town to view a property I'm interested in.. I haven't had any success in finding a special purpose mini bike camera, so I decided to try using my Toshiba Camileo S10 pocket flip camcorder, which I somewhat precariously...

While still on the subject of cameras and following on from my earlier post... I decided to have a look today at a way of mounting my Toshiba Camileo pocket camcorder onto my bike for a bike ride I had planned this afternoon.. Didn't get very far with mounting it onto handlebar, although it...

Thanks for the info Rog interesting to know. Mid 90s that's going back a bit they must of jumped in there early. Probably thought if they put the Merc brand to it, they would sell by the lorry load!

7dayshop cameras rubbish I just wanted to post a quick follow up to my post about the 7dayshop cameras which on the face of it look like great bargains but I'm sorry to say that hasn't been my experience at all.. I initially purchased the torch shaped one mentioned on this thread which was...

Really people selling high value ebikes like this on eBay should list the serial number so genuine ownership can be verified with the manufacturer before people risk wasting money and time buying stolen bikes.. eBay has a responsibility here I think to ask for that info from sellers..just my 2...

Panthera Metro with FIBREGLASS body styling..urrgh. I dunno, maybe this floats someone's boat but it certainly doesn't mine!

Ok so it's not the worse looking ebike..but it looks confused, doesn't know if it's moped or a pedelec.. at 40kg what a beast to ride. Bad design! But at £449 and still selling.. Moving on to their "Tourer" model though.... I wouldn't want to tour anywhere on this beastie...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a Cyclamatic MTB under a different name: Repow Power Plus Electric Bike/Bicycle BNIB on eBay (end time 24-Apr-11 14:58:47 BST) I notice on the manufacturers website the model is even called "Power Plus" Electric Bicycles...

Mercedes-Benz Hybrid Bike on eBay (end time 07-Apr-11 14:37:19 BST) Just noticed this.. does anyone know anything about this particular bike, haven't seen them before..weird looking design for Mercedes, not very elegant! Maybe it's really early?

Blimey, 12 hours charge is long time to wait, but with the battery that size you will be charging it far less frequently than most, depending on how far you ride of course.. My little 5Ah battery takes 3 hours to charge which comes in rather handy when I need to go from flat to full quickly. I...

Just noticed this if anyone is interested...not long to go.. Ezee Torq 37 volt Electric Bike on eBay (end time 02-Apr-11 14:23:45 BST)

Nice photos, sounds like you had quite an adventure in lovely weather and surroundings! I'm the same as yourself when it comes to going longer distances, I prefer the top gears and maintaining a cruising speed 17-20mph. I put in the effort but when I tire or come to hills, the motor helps keeps...

Thanks for the suggestions. The engineer in you as at work again ;-)

Hehe shorts and gloves, a sign of our strange weather! You're right, the sunny weather never lasts more than a few days does it.. ah well, enjoy it while it lasts, another glorious day tomorrow and one on Sunday possibly..

Thanks for the reply Simon...I will probably try and get it sewn then, will be stronger and neater. Your bag looks nicely done..do you use it for carrying other goods besides your kit? Looks quite roomy. Like yourself I wasn't keen on the idea of handlebar mounting, but after trying it I found...

Just wanted to check something...it's not legal for a bike on the road to go over red lights is it? But there's nothing to stop you moving to the pavement and going that way I guess, assuming there's a path available?

I'm trying to convert my handlebar bag into a quick release.. At the moment it has the webbing straps with velcro on.. so the obvious way seems to be cut the webbing shorter, and fix on Gelert 2cm Quick Release buckles.. Question..what is the best way do you think of securing them buckles...
