Ahh shame, I really like the design too. I think it's the best of all the 20" folding designs I've seen so far as the cross bar is not so low down. My next choice is probably Dahon Vitesse D7 HG.. do you think that's ok? I initially favoured a 26" folder like the Dahon Cadenza or Espresso but...

I'm looking for a folding bike to do a conversion using a Vitenso kit and I really like the design of the Giant Halfway 2...but to my surprise I noticed it only has one fork at the front! I expect this would be totally unsuitable for fitting a front hub motor wheel onto?

I invested in one of those little wireless cameras a while back, it only cost £30 off eBay so I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. It's proved very useful although I use it more for watching for deliveries and visitors etc rather than crime prevention as I live in a 2nd floor...

Sorry to hear that Allen, it's so annoying. I sometimes get organic food boxes delivered by a local farm, and on one occasion it was left in the bin cupboard around 7am..by 8.30am when I went down to get it, it had been nicked, probably by one of my neighbours who saw the delivery. I've just...

Interesting thread, finding insurance cover for an electric bike can be a minefield as I discovered this week while getting quotes... Cycleguard has been mentioned a few times and is often first choice for many people because they are specialised in bikes, their policy looks so extensive and...

Hi David, it was interesting doing my first review of an electric bike and seeing what you can expect for £800 but I can fully understand how it must be annoying for Wisper to see these grey import copies being sold in the UK. I think anyone thinking of buying one needs to consider carefully the...

Good review Andrew. What I like about these bikes is they look like normal road bikes and don't look too conspicuous..the smaller batteries look ideal for removing and carrying with you..but the high cost of replacements is a bit off-putting as with a battery this small you might want another...

What we need also is more recharging points around the UK to extend the range of bikes, we don't have many at moment do we. I remember seeing one company that supplies the street charging posts to councils. This would be a fantastic investment opportunity if ordinary investors could part-own...

For anyone who is interested in purchasing a Cyclamatic...SportsHQ have told me that the Cyclamatic's will be seeing a price increase after December, to £499.99. They also told me that further discount code promo's are likely before Christmas. Also if you sign up with TopCashBack you can get a...

More snow here...uurgh. I removed some solid ice from the birds watering bowls on my balcony last weekend.. they're still there and not showing any sign of melting!..I bet the temperature hasn't been above zero. I heard on the news the other day they were saying we could be in for a severely...

Excellent! That really cracked me up tillson :D

Thanks for sharing this Old Timer! I'm going to order myself from them but could use some advice.. I want to buy some batteries that are under 3kg and ideally I'd like to have them contained in a plastic housing.. and either rear rack mounted or mounted on the seat post behind the seat. Can...

Update... After giving it some thought over the last few days I decided to return the bike for a refund (cost me £25 via City Link). Several reasons for this really... Firstly, I don't think I will be able to find anyone to insure the bike. I tried a few insurance companies, and they all seem...

Unfortunately I have no dealers near me and since I don't drive it would be a problem getting to one, so I wasn't able to try out any bikes before I made my purchase. Although your point is definitely well made. I think if you can test ride at least one bike, it certainly gives you a better idea...

That's interesting to know thanks for that!

Yes exactly my thinking.. the accessories which were supposed to come with it weren't supplied either and still no reply about those. Since this is the sellers first sale of an e-bike on eBay you would think he would be making sure the sale goes smoothly. It may be that he is liquidating...

Hi Rustic, thanks for your comments, I think you are probably right on the distance, the seller has "oversold" the bike a bit on eBay it has high power everything according to him ;-) Since the throttle isn't as fast as I thought (would be interested to see how it compares to other bikes and...

Part Two - Road test of my new electric bike I decided to brave the weather and take the bike out for a test run early this morning. It was bitterly cold and minus 5 degrees, but I wanted to try it out for 10 minutes so armed with my flip video camera I took it to a quiet buses-only lane which...

Part Two (Road Test) of My New Electric Bike YouTube - My New Electric Bike - Part Two

The battery looks incredibly small and light for the power, not to mention cheap! Why are commercial batteries so expensive then?! I would probably get one of these myself when mine eventually gives up the ghost. What do you do about housing the battery cells though? I was gonna suggest it might...
