After 5 years and nearly 5000 trouble free miles on the Batribike save for a new set of brake blocks, I decided to treat it to a battery re-cell and new tyres and tubes . When purchased the SE was a `run out` model and the 24V battery came with a capacity of 8Ah instead of the 10 Ah of the...

Never mind the KTM Wissy , a Woosh Sant Ana arrived in the family yesterday . It was more exciting, as we didn`t know when it was due to arrive. It was only when a City Link van arrived in the Close that the driver confirmed that he did indeed have a large Woosh box onboard . More excitement...

I did 21 miles on my Batribike Folder on Medium Assist today and still had half my lights left , so no battery degradation since my last check in the Summer . I was surprised to see a large patch of primroses on a North facing slope with a hedge behind them preventing any Sun reaching them . I...
