    e-Bike Test Rides

    That's very generous of you John. If I lived local I'd love to pop round for a chat about e-bikes and try your Agattu and Ezee Torq. You'd be most welcome to try mine as well except you've already owned one. I'm hoping to meet some forum members at Presteigne this year and try out a few...

    Cycle helmet wearers are reckless

    Yes, the Yakkay "New Tokyo Jazz Pink" has to be safest helmet on the market. I'm tempted.

    Cycle helmet wearers are reckless

    Fair comment totally agree. I choose my routes and times carefully. If I cycled heavy trails and some of the busy A roads round these parts I'd wear a toast rack and full safety kit. I prefer to avoid (too scared) and I'm lucky enough to be able to. I don't like the thought of legislation...

    Cycle helmet wearers are reckless

    I have the proverbial thick skull. In so many ways. Having suffered numerous falls off my bike in my youth (I have the scars to prove it) I cant' ever remember banging my head. Plenty of nasty cracks on the noggin elsewhere though. Anyway I found myself looking at cycle helmets in Halfords...

    Just out of interest do they keep your head warm?

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    Worry not James. It's only a virtually perfect tan..

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    The Dark Ages will follow the Virtual Age :D Maybe this is the Virtual Age. I must dream something new up and announce it.

    Old Bikey, how a PowaByke morphed to fully suspended.

    You may be on to something there. Explains a lot. Brill website Vikki. Skulks off feeling somewhat inadequate...:(

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    Ooops: Sorry just realised you meant NIMH is 400 charges - not Lifepo4

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    Flecc: Many thanks I hadn't realised it was down to about 400 charges. Let's hope it improves. Battery cost/life seems to be the biggest downer for most of us. I believe BYD, the chinese car company, were using Lifepo4 or similar. Alex: Thanks for resurrecting this thread. I found it most...

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    Maestro/Moon: I think that pretty much sums up why we have E-Bikes. I can't see why that should change. 10 years isn't a long time and I can't see that things now are really that much different to 1999. Aren't Lifepo4 batteries an answer to most of our E-biking problems ie cost, longivity and...

    Love them Hills?

    A couple of 18 mile runs this weekend myself. Cool, a bit windy but marvellous sunshine and blue skys . I agree, it does blow the cobwebs away. :)

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    It's hard to say what transport will be like in 10 years time. My guess is that unless we're all driving snow mobiles, courtesy of the next ice age, the bicycle is still going to be around. If the bicycle is still around there's bound to be people that will want some, easy, relatively cheap...

    Face Freeze

    Hi Caph - I use the car. I found the biggest problem was my eyes. So I took to wearing some sports glasses. Then it was across the bridge of my nose that really hurt. I know I'm not the quite "right stuff" but I reckon what the hell it's only a few weeks. I think my bike appreciates a...

    When 15 mph isn't enough

    But £25K and only 50MPH tops and you have to put some effort in to get there.

    When 15 mph isn't enough

    Yeah but 50MPH. No that's bloody crazy as well! Looks somehow less impressive when someones sat in the saddle and you know it costs that much: the ErockIT – 50 mph pedal electric hybrid motorcycle

    905se City: From box to riding - my experience.

    Hi stevew The one I have is the Morph Road G Masterblaster. It has an inline tyre pressure guage (though I need my reading glasses on to see it!). The one you sadly had nicked is more suited to inflating the tyres on mountain bikes - so it's probably better for bikes like the Wisper. BTW...
