If only reckless people posting here are helmet wearers then might that be an indication that helmets work, at least for the reckless.

Anyone had any experinence replacing the cable with these shifters. I have no clue as the manual says set the shifter to the highest gear(rear) and then feed the cable through. The advertising even suggests these are easy cable replace shifters. Three fruitless hours last night and a lot of...

update well I thought it about time for another update. Seem to be getting over the teething problems I had with the gears although it took three attepmt by the bike shop. It is a fantastically fun thing to ride and I have to say I don,t feel at all unsafe in the low down position although I...

thanks john it good to hear that these sounds ok.

I have now managed to get out and about a bit on my recumbent trike and although I really enjoy it one thing I find very disappointing is the range. I managed 19kms before the battery gave up. It is a 260w 25.9v 10Ah LiPo and the company suggests a range of 50kms although this is for flat...

10 mile round trip commute. Down hill there.

Lightfoot cycles do both powered trailers and a recumbent designed specifically for power assist although this is of the LWB type. Lighfoot cycles

Thanks Bob, my bikes a KMX recumbent trike with a drive train motor from a local company here in Zurich. It's getting a bit parky here too but I have to say I prefer it as it's easier for me to keep my temperature down.

Now my bikes back on the road I'm rediscovering the joys of pedelecing. Today I went the long steep way home for no other reason than I could For me that sums up the joy of electric bikes I probably got more exercise this way than I would have on a normal bike because I would have either come...

Update Well, I seem to be getting there. Still having some troubles with the gear change but after a couple of trips to the bike shop it's acceptable still skips occasionally but not so horribly. I think a Rolhoff will be in order when I'm a bit more solvent.

And coincidentally I saw a couple out on trikes in Zurich yesterday one of which was a windcheetah. The fools where using pedal power only though.;)

Here's some video of some similar behaviour on a KMX. I tried to do the same and ended up in a heap underneath my bike:D

The Saga continues Well I've been busy but I thought I'd add a quick update on the recumbent. I finally got the replacement battery back and was extremely pleased with the performance. It delivered more power than the Nimh battery and the issue with cutting out on hills seemed to be resolved...

There is no statistical evidence to show that helmet wearing increases trench saftey and in fact may increase the wears risk. :p

Here in Zurich I sometimes feel like the odd one out as I seem to be one of only a few people that stops at pedestrian crossing and red lights. Cyclist here seem to be a lot more aggressive than in the UK but then again motorist seem a lot less likely to return the aggression. In one of the...

Can I suggest you contact CAB as they would be able to advice you of your rights in this situation Citizens Advice corporate website - Home or Buying goods - your rights My tuppence worth is that your argument is with the supplier and/or manufacturer and not the members of this forum

Doh! Thanks yet again flecc that makes a lot more sence than expanding metal. I have moved the motor a little further down the boom so that the chain is taught. Hopefully that should fix the issue.

Hhhhmmm I checked again and what I thought was a stretched chain link was infact maybe the master link. I wonder how sensitive chains are to the weather. It's been pretty warm here over the last week which is when this started happening. The one day when it was a little cooler the chain...

The saga continues I absolutely love triking and having a leccy motor but I seem to be having an endless stream of problems which has blunted my boundless joy to only be joy. I snapped the chain 2 weeks ago and now the chain that powers the crank from the motor is stretched as well. I have a...
