wooooo I rode the bike today Well I finally took the bike out today for a spin this morning early with the camera...I have finished part two of my review and will upload the video shortly!

I was wondering about registration.. with such a wide variety of bikes on the market and people importing parts and making their own bikes, how do they plan to regulate the market and police the bikes on the road? Will they even bother to try? One way they could enforce the legal compliance...

Why did they bother to hold a recent public consultation then I wonder if it's already been decided? Perhaps they were just going through the usual motion of saying they consulted the public before the EU law comes into full effect? If memory serves, it reads on the consultation results page as...

Good idea.

Hey nice low angle shot, the motor looks enormous from down there :D

I agree, I sent him a donation and asked him to consider some electric bike kit conversion videos. That site is really useful to someone like me who can't even use a spanner :D I think it's good to learn these skills though to be able to look after your bike properly.

waiting like an excited kid No more snow here in the Midlands thankfully, but the snow from Saturday morning has now turned to ICE so I'm waiting for it to melt to take my first bike ride. There's a bit of sun today but it's not helping the temperature any, it's ruddy FREEZING so cold in fact...

Ditto Very informative, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mussels, that's good to know..I was just about to do a post asking about this so you beat me to it! I will certainly look into getting mine changed as it's one less thing to worry about when leaving the bike unattended. I can't really see the point in quick release components at all on...

I've seen others on the forum saying they are lobbying their MP's over changes due to put through parliament shortly effecting our electric bikes. So I decided to do the same and have just penned a letter to my MP which I've copied below... did I miss anything? Dear MP, I wanted to write to...

new bike owner I have just been reading this old thread with interest.. as a new bike owner one thing that bothers me is the quick release nature of components on my bike, i.e. the front-wheel and seat post. Since my bike has a rear hub motor which most likely would be targeted by any theif...

Thanks Old Timer! I just found a picture of your Powertrek bike here it does look exactly the same frame design as mine. Maybe it's the same manufacturer. How long did your battery last and do you still run that Powertrek much?

Hi tillson, these are fair comments.. I must admit I was quite reluctant about buying an unknown brand bike from an unknown dealer even at this price. However they are a proper established company that sells motorbikes with a showroom in my region of the country (they have their own delivery...

Video uploaded If anyone's interested, I made a little video showing the bike's arrival in pre/post assembly state, plus a test of the motor and power modes indoors.. YouTube - My New Electric Bike - Part One /// video updated 28/11 - visual tour of the bike added with explanation of the...

Thanks for the info d8veh.. I think you're right about the high/low being pedal assist and throttle only modes. With the bike upturned you hardly need to push the pedals around and the motor gives plenty of assist. The seller is a firm in Lincs, they're English and specialise in quad bikes but...

Hi everyone, I purchased a new e-bike this week from a seller on eBay called Road Legal Quad Bikes (158 Performance Ltd) and thought I would do a review.. I've been researching bikes for a month now and had narrowed down my choice to between a Wisper 905 Eco and an Ezee TorQ, purely based on...

I just discovered XERO Technology that has some interesting offerings.. Xero Technology | Electric scooters & Electric bikes (UK company I think)

Well done Roni I can see a lot of work has gone into that. It's a great resource in what is a very confusing field for many people. There's a few manufacturers I noticed you don't have on your list: Bearprint (UK) Home » Bearprint Electric Bikes Cyclamatic (UK) The Sports HQ - Discount Golf...

Damn I enjoyed this thread but now I'm left in suspense. Did Fordulike steriod his Cyclamatic to 36v successfully or blow it out!??! Arrgh the suspense is kiling me. :p Seriously though, those bikes look great bikes for the money really and ideal for this sort of upgrading tinkering stuff...

Incredible! With those miniscule wheels it's a wonder it can hardly move :D
