    Tyres: do they really need to be so hard?

    I run my Batribike Folder with 20 x 1.95 in. tyres at 40-45 Psi . Too high a pressure and the ride is uncomfortable . Batribike quote 40-65 Psi in their handbook .

    Probably sick of these by now? Which bike...

    A Woosh Santana would do you fine on that run . My Brother has had one for two and a half years , a good hill climber and much faster than my 20 in.Batribike Folder . Their replacement batteries are very reasonably priced too when compared with other Ebike Suppliers .

    New Gtech ebike

    Their rustless Aluminium sounds pretty advanced . Who writes their blurb and technical stuff ? That battery looks a bit small too , no mention of the aH . I guess my Batribike Folder must be made of the same aluminium , as that hasn`t rusted either in 5 years !!

    Helmet camera recommendations please

    Looks alright to me Eddie , those speeds are something I can only dream of on my Batribike Folder . To achieve 15 + mph my legs would be going around so fast it would hurt . I only ride on tarmac not scrambling routes .

    Be careful when ordering batteries for your SJCameras whether M10 or 4000 . The `fake` battery that came with my charger won`t fit , the charger is fine though . The thickness of the original battery is 11.40 mm and the `fake` is 11.94 mm. it might be possible to remove the black covering of...

    I have just found a snag in using the M10 Camera inside it`s waterproof case, on a Motorcycle or Ebike . If you want to use an external battery and feed the supply through the plastic case into the micro USB , you cannot , as the clamp which secures the back sits right over the camera`s USB and...

    Eddie you will soon be ordering more accessories for it . Today I ordered some for my SJCAM M10 . A chest harness and the headband comes free , 5600 mA battery pack and another San Disk 32Gb Class 10 Ultra micro card . Previously I have taken delivery of another original battery and await a...

    UK to Harmonise Electric Bike Law with Europe?

    I never use the throttle to power my machine when riding it , only to use the 6km/hr function to walk up some steep hills in my town . When the machine was new 4 and1/2 years ago I rode up on full assistance , no throttle , but now the battery has degraded , it knocks out too much power . Why...

    Thanks nashdm2 my Brother mentioned he bought a battery pack for his Daughter`s `phone . I will look up the Nyon and of course the slots in the alternative back supplied with these Cameras could be modified to accept a lead , but not under water ! If the supplied case cannot be used for this...

    selrahc if you put SJ4000 into the search , loads of Cameras come up , both genuine and fake . It appears as though some of the fakes are as good as the original SJCam , judging by the stars awarded . The trick appears to avoid paying the higher price of the original SJCam and being delivered a...

    For anyone wondering about video time , mine lasted 1 hr 06min. until the battery ran out , but at the start only 3 of the 4 charging bars were showing . The resolution was set on 1080P , HDR on and the screen set to blank out after 5 minutes . When the screen blanks , the orange flashing light...

    Helmet camera recommendations please

    This thread re-kindled my interest in purchasing an Action Cam and set me googling the various options . The Techmoan reviews were very useful and I liked the look of the latest SJCAM M10 which has just come out . I am still on the 2nd generation mobile phone, but thought the Wi-Fi version would...

    Number Plates for Bikes Again

    This topic is usually accompanied by the complaint that Cyclists don`t pay `road tax `. The emissions tax also means that lots of cars pay nothing as well . My 32 year old Suzuki Classic 50cc Scooter which barely makes 30mph is taxed at £17 , my 250`s are £37 each and my car £178 . So when I am...

    Tyre pressures turned my bike into a boneshaker

    I have a Batribike Quartz Folder with 20x1.95 in. Kenda Tyres and a suspension seat post . The recommended tyre pressures are 40-65 psi and in the 4 years I have had the machine have kept to 40-45 psi . The roads in my area are poor and I find the machine comfortable . A recent trip on my GT...

    Police on bikes

    Wouldn`t work Mike as they would keep getting stolen every time they were at a crime scene . Remember the Motorcyclist that was knocked from his machine recently ? Someone `helpfully`picked it up for him and promptly rode off on it .

    Cycle Helmets

    Bought the Aldi Ski helmet a year ago and have found it much more comfortable to use than a conventional cycle helmet . This morning I bought the Ski Boots and the Ski socks and noticed plenty of helmets in white . I won`t be going Skiing , just a replacement for the Canadian Lumber rubber boots...

    Electric car charging point fiasco

    Nobody has mentioned about charging your Electric Vehicle in the myriad of streets with Terraced Houses in this Country . The Vandals will have a field day with wires all over the place .

    Talk about a crazy world...

    We could have about 4 of those `cheap`little Nuclear Power Stations if we cancelled HS2 . Better still build the Severn Barrage instead of HS2 , at least we could run all our electric trains then !
