in reality non. However...... Pro: -Acceleration from a dead stop is good -Sheer weight and bulk of my ebike is good in windy weather Con: -Sheer weight and bulk of my ebike makes it very hard to maneaouver when pushing it. Juts getting in and out of my shed is a strain. Had to carry...

1- Car replacement. 2 -Bike replacement for when i'm feeling ill or my commuter bike is poorly. I use a normal bike for fun and commuting to the train station and then i shower at work. All my other journeys required a car (4-7 miles in very hilly terrain). eg local market towns /pubs/...

In order: I love it (and i hate driving) Health\free exercise Commuting (more reliable than car\ same speed) Less stressful than driving Cheap transport Morals (I dont think cars should be allowed in areas where people live, outside is fine,, but not in towns or villages)

Wow! Great ride and great test of any pedelec that presumes to have hill climbing ability. Thats a very cool post as well, just as we're all hyping up to to watch it tonight! GREAT tour so far....

oooooh! Look at the geometry on that! Speed Speed Speed! I instantly see the point of that! Me want! Note the geometry is highly compatible with drop handlebars. Cool! Me want one....... (mmmmm might want to swap the forks...)... .....its clearly built for fast riding... BUuuuttt its got...

Its a great fun idea but the suggested formats a bit silly. Give a bit more notice and open it up to all and sundry a la presteigne and make it shorter so the battery nonsense isnt an issue. I think the Brompton world championship or Smithfield Nocturnes are better models. re The A2B...

Strikes me that most people are buying their leccy bikes for a specific purpose, often practical, but i 'd break these down into: -Commuting -Leisure -Car alternatives Now, i'd like a company that could sell me a bike that could be specced to suit my needs, not what the company thinks i...

Bike radar have been running an advert saying....... "Bikes are drugs and we're peddling them!" ......or was it pedaling? PS Some netiquette clarification Lol is literally you have laughed out loud. If you are merely smiling then use a smiley....

I have to keep tightening the nuts on my Agattu (once a month?) where the stem attaches to the handlebars. But i do have a basket which is handlebar mounted, which is clearly too much weight for the stem to handle. The Agattu has a comfort stem , i can see that the pro connect has a different...

now thats the kind of thing needs to be in a Agattu check list FAQ.

Thanks Chris. As always the sage man states it bang on. Most importantly he points out the hazards to look out for. For someone just getting used to traffic jamming i think thats the most important thing. Go left or right if you like but look out for those hazards and keep thinking ahead about...

Im not criticising anyones riding style but the poster did say they were newish to road cycling. The point is the stats say accidents happen in that zone because the hazards are in that zone. So anecdotal stories of i've ridden like this for x years don't really hold weight against the stats. Of...

Still beg to differ flecc, for three reasons: -You dont know when the traffics about to start moving. If you get stuck in the inside your straight into all the hazards i've talked about. -You cant always see what the front is like. You may get there, find the front vehicle is going left...

DONT UNDERTAKE! Its suicide! Seriously it looks easy, but count the hazards. -Cars wont see you (and dont expect you) -Trucks and buses CANT see you (50% of female cyclist deaths in london) -Too close to unpredictable pavement denizens -Too close to parked cars -Riding on the worst...

sorry and i meant to say, re stability. With a child or luggage, its about bringing the load to be more central , which increases the stability.

also this same thread occurs over and over again on any bike forum. There are a lot of people looking for this bike. They can of course be seen on the street in Holland (unknown dutch brand) at anytime. The i think there are 3 newcomers to the market who are all swamped with demand. There...

:mad: THIS IS INNACURATE AND IS MISLEADING! Challenge it wherever you hear it! :mad: The actual stat says per million miles (or was it a billion) Heres why its a silly stat: 1) The official government figures then go onto to give a %age of those miles that are carried out on the...

A note on drops or aero bars. For these to work, you have to be able to achieve 'a tuck', so that the air flows over you back rather than into your front. If your handle bars are higher than your saddle, this is virtually impossible. Look at the geometry of racers and then look at the geometry...

You want to see a reward? Check out your butt in the mirror. Now stop cycling for 6 months...... Watch those lbs pile back on! Worse watch your bum spread... daily. watch your legs go flabby and notice how out of breath you get when climbing up stairs. Now get back on that bike, and enjoy...

This adaptor for 49p will let you use presta pumps. I keep one on each wheel.
