I'm considering replacing the front cable disk brake on our Ecosmo tandem with hydraulic, partly spurred on by saneagle's regular comments on the advantages. Probably not going to do the back, might be awkward with the folding. Never even had cable disk brakes before, so a few questions before...

New York have a new city wide ebike speed limit of 15mph. When Does The E-Bike Speed Limit Law Take Into Effect? The law, announced by Mayor Eric Adams in June 2025, will be enforced beginning August 1, 2025. Riders found exceeding the 15 MPH limit may face fines or even have their e-bikes...

Does anyone have experience with 11-32 7 speed screw on freewheels? Or any 11/12 little, 32/34 big? We are considering one for our new second hand electric Ecosmo tandem. The high gear is very low, and it would be helpful to have an emergency low gear. Examples are: DRIFT MANIAC (apparently...

Does anyone know where I can source to have a 450mm 28.6mm steel seat post? Baz??? For the front of an Ecosmo tandem; the standard one isn't long enough for me (even though I'm only 31" inside leg) I've got an aluminium one but I'm not sure I trust it, especially with the stoker's handlebar...

Can anyone identify this ebike display? It is on a few year old Ecosmo tandem we are considering buying. Looks pretty basic, but lower top tube than our current (also basic) Viking.

Does anyone have experience with the Marathon E-Plus? It is getting near to time to replace the Marathon Plus on the back of our tandem after several thousand miles (8k?) of excellent service; most of it (5k) with the front wheel electrified.

I'm considering buying a converted tandem with Bafang SWXK2 motor and CON63 controller. I'm not sure if its a KT LCD8H or Bafang C961 display; I need to verify with seller. Does anyone have comments on the suitability of this setup? In particular, I can't see the max amps output of the CON63.

Our Bosch 400wh battery is showing signs deterioration. Maybe not unreasonable after 8 years (we got the bike 2nd hand about 2 years old about 6 years ago), around 6000 miles. Hard to tell, I'd say it was down to somewhere around 60%. Once deterioration starts to be significant is there likely...

Slight surprise the other day. We've had our 2016 Motus (Bosch) for well over 5 years, it was about 2 when we got it so 7 now. Very happy apart from a few niggles. In all that time we hadn't let it run down to where the remaining range was being reported below about 5 miles. I'd guessed that...

Reposted from https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=159360 because I thought it would be of interest. "Yamaha Motor announced that it has established ENYRING GmbH as a new company that will offer swappable batteries for compact urban electric vehicles via subscription-based services."...

I'll probably need to replace the Hailong battery that came with our Woosh XF07 kit some time fairly soon; still OK but certainly not got the capacity it used to. It is a 13Ah battery, I'd probably replace with something larger. I can see there are at least 3 kinds of HL batteries, with the...

The 5 year old Woosh XF07 wheel on the front of our tandem stopped being as true as it should be, and when I went to true it I found two broken spokes. (Very neglectful of me not to have kept more careful track of spokes all along.) Oddly they weren't broken at the J curve, but at the point a...

Does anyone know anything about QWIC? Just guessing, they seem to provide reasonable quality generic Chinese Dutch style ebikes? I am looking for a friend who is determined she wants hub gears which considerably reduces the choice. 12 mile each way commute, not very hilly but certainly not...

I've got a problem on our tandem with my nice old Brooks as the front saddle. The nose of the saddle keeps catching my back trouser pocket as we mount and get started. Happens with almost all my trousers. I think the solution is to arrange something so the nose of the saddle is rounded...

Cycling UK have just added various pages on ebikes (or their email has just made me aware of them). https://www.cyclinguk.org/cycling-advice/type-cycling/e-bikes I haven't read through any of it yet.
