Have you got a video clip from the current one? Also how long do batteries last in it?

Another vote for build from scratch for that money. I wouldn't even go with a new bike and strap a kit to it would build it from parts as you likely need to swap wheels, remove bb to add sensors and generally mess with it more than assembly of a new bike when it's delivered to add the kit.

If they are beach cruisers like my electra(not electric just a beach cruiser) then the handlebars could be too wide for normal doors. The pic with the girl doesn't do them justice but often it's a case of them being 2ft across. Very easy and nice to ride but practical wouldn't be that.

4 miles is about 20-30mins cycle for most people, 12mph average speed(15mph ebike, stopping for and things) is 1mile each 5min. I think it's a reasonable starting point, after a month or so once you are doing the 4 miles without any issues you can always go to the next tram stop and then add a...

Lots of good news even if you didn't notice. The other day you had been worried about making it the whole way but if you took a detour then you did the distance you needed and then some. As someone mentioned already your bike was locked badly/wrongly but still there so hopefully a nice safe area...

Watched the "data on the copenhagen wheel" video too... slightly worrying how much data it pulls about you/where you are/everything. I don't often buy into them conspiracy type ideas but mentioning who you cross paths with and stuff in a friendly sense is often misused by oppertunist companies...

I dunno, I can think of a handful of rather straight and wide london roads that could take a weird overhead bus service. Routes like tooting/balham to waterloo with them going in one direction(mornings towards london, afternoons out of london) it could really help. At the same time tho I can...

I just started a rebuild project. Got 2 old 3 speeds, one with broken frame and one with rust and abuse(but an ok frame), plan is to respray the good frame and clean up parts from either/or to go on it. Really excited about the whole project. Broken frame bike. Other bike.

How far south east? I'm not a bike mechanic in the sense that people pay me but I am in the sense that loads of friends ask me to repair stuff and keep coming back(I should have learned to do a bad job when it's free lol).

I often see people stopped either for a flat tyre or some problem with gears and so call from my bike "need a patch?" or "need tools?" and you get some very very blank faces and weird replys. The few times people have accepted the offer of help have also been weird, one person I taught how to...

Could be your bike fit is off which any number of saddle changes won't help. I can't remember what you shift which way for saddle pain but it's all to do with your weight being on your feet more than arse and then on the right bit of your arse. Some saddles are more forgiving but it all comes...

I'm mostly riding unassisted atm swapping between my MTB and single speed racer, MTB average in the 12-13mphs and other 15-19mph both in strava. Strava has racked up 963 miles since the new year, not too shabby.

The google suggestions aren't always great, they go by the legal top speeds and not the actual speeds so tow paths, shared paths and even awfully slow traffic lights mess it up(a couple of cycle only lights in london go once in a blue moon rendering the route pointless). If you are confidential...

I really like old bikes that are still being used, see the odd person out riding on old racers and just get the feeling they have been riding the same bike for years.

Good to know they carry a decent amount of weight, have been looking at one for just lugging stuff about for ages since one of my frames has no holes anywhere.

I doubt your bike would get attention from "the pros" so wouldn't expect a team of guys with angle grinders and a van(when it's the crazy expensive £5000 bikes that's the reality of it in some places). The only bad thing with your bike is it might be mistaken for a brompton by some pleb who then...

Buy it from amazon it's cheaper or try get them to price match. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kryptonite-Bike-Lock-Flex-Cable/dp/B005YPK8G2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395014167&sr=8-1&keywords=kryptonite lock Kryptonite locks go grey/silver -> orange -> yellow(new york) with yellow being best. I have...

http://app.strava.com/athletes/2625496 + http://www.jonathanokeeffe.com/strava/map.php 2500 miles on Strava with some fun stuff done to the data.

Use buses or trains for a few years and then switch to cycling it. It might not be the countryside but having seen the other options... :cool: Also overlaying all the rides for ages from strava onto one map looks awesome.

New paths with real tarmac, the utter luxury some people live in. Here we have to make do with scraps of road that was layed sometime in the 80s and has been held together with disguarded chewing gum, the only newly layed bits are so they have a surface stable enough for a speed bump or them...
