Sigh... I'm so unfit. I'd give it a test run. There great fun and I wouldn't want to think I put you off because of my poor pedalling skills :)

Speed Kraueterbutter my primary concern was not speed but hill climbing and stability with a different set of gears I believe it is easy for the system to reach the speeds you talk about although as you say they are not strictly legal either here in Switzerland or in the...

No Ninja Oh and it does produce quite a whining sound.

To answer the question. I don't have exact figures as I'm having trouble mounting a speedo but having the motor overcomes the speed going up hill. On the flat obviously I can easily get up to 25kph. For me ridding a city bike Downhill faster Uphill slower On the flat a little bit slower but...

Commute One more thing I should add is about cutting through stationary traffic. When there is a cycle lane I'm fine as the bike really isn't much broader than a cyclists shoulders. But it is not possible to squeeze through traffic where a upright bike might be able. This to me is perhaps...

Urban Recumbent E-Trike Commuting Thought I'd write a quick review of what's its like to ride a electric recumbent trike in traffic as I now have a massive 2 weeks of experience. Prone So first thing first The low riding position. I have to admit that, although I had read on the net that...

Its perhaps the wrong time of year as we are just about to hit the solstice but I found these Monkeylectric LED Bike Lighting and there's some short videos of them in action here Review: Monkeylectric m132s LED Bike Light

Wonder if it's going to be on again next year. Might have to enter.

I had a puncture this week and learned the stupidity of commuting with out a puncture repair kit. My puncture was on the rear tyre and I was surprised how easy it was in the end I bought some of those self adhesive patches which seemed to work quite well. I also think having a decent pump at...

Yes a big Swiss one. It was cheap because the European cup is on at the moment (3 francs, about £1:50). I figured the Swiss flag was the best choice as there is less chance that some one will see it and then decide to run me over anyway :)

Found this article in the independent about peak oil this week Fade to black: Is this the end of oil? - Green Living, Environment - The Independent It makes mention of greater electrification of transport being required to deal with supply of easy oil drying up

Nutter By the way I was on the way to work on my flying deck chair this morning and as I passed a post van who was waiting at a junction and I did the usual of trying to get eye contact he stuck his finger to the side of his head and made a twisting motion, I think he may have been questioning...

First week of electric trike commuting Well the temporary replacement battery might be bulkier and heavier but it certainly supplies an improvement of the first battery. It's now an absolute joy to get up in the morning and go to work, and even more so coming home. Just a pity the weather's...

Thanks Thanks for the advice flecc. Spoke with the producer of the systems yesterday as he came round to deliver a spare battery and charger (the Nimh model) and he said that the safety electronics in the hellpower battery were kicking in too early a 20A when it should be 40A , well...

I have the hellpower 260Wh 25.9V 10Ah. I have seen reports on there site of people using this with a rider and bike of 100 kg doing far in excess of the rides that I have done so far. They are bringing a replacement battery for me whilst they look into the problem so that's good news anyway.

RE:Problems I have been having a few teething problems with my bike. First off they'd stuck the battery permanently to my bike. Fortunately I was able to remove it without damaging the paint work. I now have the battery installed in a backpack that fits neatly on the back of my seat. The...

Ride 1. 12-km unassisted So with out any juice in the motor but desperate to try my new toy out I decided to cycle home under my own steam. Although the bike is quite heavy, about 23-kg including motor and battery I found it very nice to pedal and the laid back riding position gave me good...
