    Creaking crank on new Agattu

    Flecc is probably still able to provide a link to his Panasonic material in which there is some guidance with regard to motor assembly mounting points and an explanation of how creaking may be remedied if that indeed is the source of your problem. Many of us who have owned Panasonic...

    Changing my pedals

    Now I know that's not what you meant to type Steve but it does conjure up an image! That aside, as a fellow PC rider, albeit my mount has the Xion motor, I understand your desire to fit better pedals as I have a difficulty also when it's wet. It's one of those things I keep meaning to check...

    Bafang wins at the 24 hour E-Bike race at the Nurburgring

    Has anybody seen the invitation list circulated to all the potential attendees? What I'm interested to know is whether or not the makers or suppliers of EAPCs powered by motors from sources other than those quoted were ever asked if they'd like to participate.

    Ah! Well if you're assuring me, that's ok then. Youngsters just won't ever see the opportunities in EAPCs so won't ever nick one to strip and utilise the components in another bike frame. I don't know what 'cool' is but 'expensive' is irrelevant unless actually paying for something...

    Stop hating ebikes

    I stand to be corrected but I don't think 14 year-olds can ride motorbikes. They are legally permitted to ride EAPCs, I think? That being the case, that's why they might bother with a pedelec. The problem then is that 11 and 12 year-olds, mates of the 14 year-olds, will also want to play with...

    Stop hating ebikes

    It may well generate an interest Croxden but young people, being as they are, will not be content with bikes which provide no power beyond the 15mph limit. It follows therefore that the juvenile hooligan element, rather like many forum members who should know better, will re-engineer their...
