Commutes 3-6 So far I have clocked up a total of 200km and I'm still looking forward to tomorrows commute. The SRAM gears seem to work well but I still find myself stuck in the wrong gear in the city sometimes where things can be less predictable and I am still very tempted by either the...

Commute2 Commute 2 was a late night return home in the dark. Coming back the same route as I went. This time I put the bike in full power as the objective was to get home as quickly as possible. The end result was that I was only 15 minutes later than usual. At one point I thought there was...

I read this http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/2884-26-vs-28-wheel.html?highlight=wheel+size which answers my own question. 26inch wheels for me I think. I only have likkle legs

Can't report any impact on mine at the moment but I will keep you posted. On the other hand my eyes have been killing me and I've had some massive sneezing fits which I put down to tree pollen but could it be something more sinister?

Thanks flecc, what makes it even more frustrating is that I can see how great it would be without all the niggling issues. I will try to keep an open mind on the dual drive though I'm a bit sold on Hub drives but maybe a single rear derailuer cuts down on complexity and still lets you drop a...

Think you might be right but I'm going to struggle to sell the idea of keeping the trike and buying a new bike to the boss(she who must be obeyed). She already thinks three bikes is two too many. The trike is a lot of fun when its working but I just don't feel its going to the right solution...

Here is link to a thread that contains a photo of the bike http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/2003-recumbent-electric-trike.html

I'm looking at getting a replacement for my electric trike and considering I live in Switzerland and there is a shop that stocks them just round the corner I am leaning toward getting a high speed version of one of the biketec flyer models. I have booked a rental for the whole of next week so...

Shipment of fail Well I give up. Last time out having removed the largest chain ring to see if a more compact drive improved things the drive chain popped off and wrapped round the pedal twisting the chain. This solution doesn't seem robust enough to be a daily commuter do I'm going to sell...

Success Hooray. I fixed it. The trick was to bend a kink in the cable before trying to thread it through and also to do in in day light rather than artificial light. The gore cables are absolutely brilliant. Can't believe how light and responsive the gear changes are now. Mind you only had...
