Your (presumably) considered reply is standard fodder from those in the non law-abiding minority at the fringes of decent society. I guess you have nothing intelligent to say on the matter so you resort to religion in an attempt to identify anything which might offer some comfort in your mind...

I made a comment on this thread previously and I keep reading, yet not understanding this: Why are so many contributors attempting to find justification for criminality? The regulations applicable to EAPCs aren't fuzzy; they are crystal clear so I cannot understand why certain people feel the...

Having read these pages since 2008, I think Tillson's piece is the best summary of the criminal practice afflicting our EPAC market I have ever read and it has been discussed many times.

That's a great quote Newboater! Most insurers don't have a clue about electric bikes and either refuse to quote or offer a very expensive premium based on their ignorance. You need to be sure that they understand both what you have and recognise its value to avoid potential problems in the...

Having such regard for the value of your investment is simply common sense. To ignore your fears about particular locations and carry on regardless is foolish and reckless. Tom

A.) No bicycle locking system can ever be impregnable so the decision as to how much money one is prepared to invest is what it all boils down to in the end. B.) Geography and both daytime and overnight location come into play in arriving at the answer to A. Bicycle parking areas in both...

Is that Eddieo's other half's machine? Tom

Hi Newboater May I suggest that you run an internet search for 'top bicycle locks' and read some of the results from the tests and reviews. People will recommend all sorts of things but there are several really well-built locks around and some of those are probably far more difficult to...

That PC is a lot of state-of-the-art ebike at a very competitive price Tim. Dare I say....a bargain! Tom

Hi Will. Of many factors which help to make ebikes easy to ride when unpowered, light weight is possibly the most most significant one. At one end of the spectrum, (keeping things affordable) Cytronex produce a range of very light bikes from several manufacturers. I wouldn't call their...

Kalkhoff PC Xion has one. Tom

Having recently purchased and fitted the 700x40C flavour of the Tour model, I have to confess to some surprise at how well they roll. After a little experimentation, I settled for 85psi front and back, the recommended maximum, which cancels out any inherent 'squidgyness' and provides a smooth...

After having the illegitimate child of a job repairing a single puncture recently on my Kalkhoff Xion rear wheel, I immediately purchased 2x MP Tours which added only about a pound and a half in weight over the OE Conties but much more in peace of mind. I carry a pair of inners in a seat post...

Having purchased the latest addition to my stable from 50 Cycles very recently, I endorse Flecc's recommendation that you test-ride any/all the models which hold appeal for you. Indeed, if you visit the London branch, Tim will probably insist you try a few models. The British ebike market is...

Yes

I'm surprised David Blaine hasn't been hauled in for questioning as he has previous for making an aircraft disappear. ;)

The regeneration is selectable as in on/off and if one opts in, the set speed can be adjusted from several pre-selected fixed speeds. All the information is contained on the Disk supplied with the bike but the display unit is pretty intuitive to use and it doesn't take long to understand how...

I saw there was some discussion recently about the merits of Chinese bikes compared to European machines. Anybody favouring the latter will look at this and say, 'I rest my case!' Tom

Thanks Rob. Funny typo now amended. Cheers, Tom

Hi all As a long-time ebiker with a couple of electric and a few manual machines occupying shed space, I really didn't need another bike at the present time.....or did I? Nope, I've thought about it deeply for two seconds solid and I absolutely didn't need one. Even now, a further 5 seconds...
