Dave they are very handy points to consider when purchasing an Ebike .When I bought my Batribike Quartz Folder , I liked the looks , rode once around the car park and bought it . I went to the Dealer so I could see it and my main concern was to have somewhere to take it back if it went wrong ...

I would happily ride one of those, but it stands out so much ,you might have trouble keeping the light fingered fraternity away .

Just done another circuit of Cardiff Airport today and picked more blackberrries , not bad for November ! I noticed new blackberry flowers coming out , I like this global warming . The battery on the Quartz failed 10 yards from home after 27 miles , a mix of mainly medium assist , occasionally...

Apparently these Mamils are middle-aged-men in Lycra .They are choosing fast bikes over fast cars , no mention of fast women though ! They have contributed to a successful trading year at `Wiggle`, so much so, that 3 Private Equity firms and a Trade Buyer are battling to buy the Company...

I have 3 Classics avron and an Ebike .A 1982 Suzuki X7 250cc Motorcycle , a 1982 Suzuki CS 50 Roadie Scooter which I have had since new and a 1979 German Folding bike .My E bike is a 2010 Batribike Folder . I look after my machines but age will defeat me now, as I am 73 next birthday . The...

Juicy Bike we already have that , it`s called the outside lane .Usually populated by Drivers who aren`t paying for their own petrol !

That is a very nice bike Jerry . Are they still all manufactured in the UK ? Hope you get better luck with that present than I did with my Wife`s 70th birthday present .She won`t ride the Batribike Quartz SE folder which I bought for her .Luckily I put 700 miles on it before some of the warranty...

In my part of S.Wales we don`t have any cycle paths , let alone shared ones . We have to mix it with Artics , Buses and Boy Racers . The latter don`t like Hi-Vis waistcoats , it seems to bring out the worst in them . It must be they have bad memories of something !

Fit a pipe over the end of the bar and manipulate it . Protect the handlebar with tape or a rag .

Have you looked at the Batribike Quartz Folder ? I have had the lower powered SE Model for over a year with no problems . It is beautifully finished and would grace any mantlepiece .

Well done Lynda on taking delivery of that Tonaro .I`ll be expecting to see a record time posted for the return trip from Ilminster to Yeovil Town Centre or Preston Plucknett Church to avoid the one way nonsense .

The seafront is the safest place for those machines .I can remember when they first came out , an ex Motorcycle TT Rider used to drive one from Ogmore-by-Sea to Cardiff every day , must be a round trip of 40 miles . On another occasion I went on the Hovercraft Service from Barry to Minehead for...

M&P of Swansea have a nice Motrax Motorcycle lock and chain on special offer at half price for £14.99 and £18.99 for the 1.2 metre and 2 metre respectively . The codes are 525921 and 525923 .

Aldi have winter gloves for £4.99 and jacket for £15.99 this Thursday , 29th Sept . Also have lots of other cycling equipment .

Very interesting Dave and it also shows the silliness of having rules and regulations common to all the EU Countries whether for Ebikes or anything else for that matter .

Hope they take their helmets with them !

I wouldn`t spend more than £1000 on something that I don`t need , but it`s nice to have . Most people in these times of austerity would find it mad to spend £3000 on an Ebike . From some of the postings on here, spending more money doesn`t seem to guarantee fault free riding !

That should clear a path for you among other road users .Just have a sign front and rear saying `Nuclear Powered`. Although other road users would be alerted by your `glow`.

My Classic Suzuki Motorcycles are nearly 30 years old , my German Folder cycle is 32 years old , so it must follow that the Batribike Quartz will be aiming for similar . The only weak link might be me ! Still I suppose I could mention them in my will ?

Well done Barry for covering those miles , not just for the Ebike , but also for you in all weathers .You are saving the planet almost single handedly , while the Politicians and Financiers are jetting all over the place and undoing your good work .
