    Mid Drive motor noise. Differences between makes.

    How noisy are Bosch motors then? My Tonaro is silent, no noise at all.

    What do you mean that you are not convinced? Red lights are not optional

    Johnderh Air Freight

    I had to laugh when I saw that bag looking so innocent but with a wire poking out. I can just imagine a suspicious Customs officer calling the Army who would promptly blow it to bits!

    How a built-in torque sensor works

    Exactly what is the point of these sensors? Both my Tonaro and Woosh have magnet rings and throttles. I can give exactly the amount of assistance that I want using the throttle. After all, it is not as though the motor is 50 bhp

    Deaf Aids

    Thanks everybody. My father had some and he paid a lot for them, but was never really happy. Now that my children tell me I am deaf (Who?, me, deaf? just stop mumbling) and so many of my friends wear them, I think that it is time to try them. Mike

    Deaf Aids

    Has anybody got these? I can go the NHS route and get them for free, or pay up to £2,000 at Specsavers. Are private ones really better than NHS?

    Carry a passenger on my bike

    Traffic on the left hand side, 'Bus Stop' written on the road? It is London. CWAH, get ready to get arrested again!

    Samsung and LG entering the e-bike market

    Personally I cannot see the need for all this extra electronics. The function they provide is very limited and only of interest to a minority. "Build in electronics, build in potential problems." Our bikes are a compromise of the least possible power to enable their use without need of legal...

    Samsung and LG entering the e-bike market

    Frankly it is not a good idea at all. How waterproof are phones, and just how easily snatched off whilst passing some yobbo? (I imagine if that occurred, the bike would stop)

    Just bought not working bike

    No papers, No charger, brand new poster. Many responsible shops would not touch this with a barge pole.

    Bike Mirrors

    Strange thing is that when riding in Belgium, I leave the mirror on the right hand side. Seems to work just fine, probably because unlike the 'Swift glance over shoulder' you can constantly monitor traffic far astern.

    is it only expensive bikes that have throttle mode no need to peddle?

    And I have disabled my pedelec and only use throttle! Don't miss the pedelec at all.
