    50 cycles new store Altrincham

    I think also having the throttle will be beneficial at times when you are doing 20 miles and want a breather

    50 cycles new store Altrincham

    Which makes me ask why is the claimed weight 24kg including battery...unless of course, my mudguards, rack and lights add an extra 4kg......

    50 cycles new store Altrincham

    Thanks for the comparison Woosh... So, what Im seeing, is the Rio is a lot better VFM. Most of the extra cost is for the Bosch motor (and battery), which Ive read time and again isn't the most favoured option for commuting.

    50 cycles new store Altrincham

    I guess any hydraulic brakes will be better than those on mine. Im going to try and get my bike on some scales....im still amazed at the weight difference, jsut watched a video back I took while out on them and picked it off the floor with one hand and the cam in the other

    50 cycles new store Altrincham

    I guess Im not enough of a bike geek to understand why that should cost 1200 more than the one I tried...

    Saw that one, but dont think he would take credit card or offer 0% finance ;)

    50 cycles new store Altrincham

    If you compare the online specs for the Cube and the stealth, the cube weighs 20.9, the stealth 24kg....something doesnt seem right there. I know i have added mudguards and a rack to my bike, but it feels a darn sight more than 3 kg heavier than the cube...Id say there is a good 10kg...

    50 cycles new store Altrincham

    I had an invite to the opening of the new 50 cycles store in Altrincham today. Booked my ticket a little while ago before I had pretty made up my mind on what my next ebike would be. Really impressed with the day, a lot of effort had obviously been put in to planning it, and making loads of...

    Clear plastic wrap

    I started to cover mine as during one really wet weather ride, it started to steam up inside.

    Clear plastic wrap

    Maybe Im over cautious then, but would rather cover it than have it pock up on me.

    Clear plastic wrap

    Can anyone recommend any clear waterproof plastic type material for protecting your LCD? Ive gone through all sorts of things, which have worked to a degree, but would like to find something more permanent than cling film, sandwich bags, clear rubber gloves etc ;)

    Fireball 500 ebike for 2017

    It does look and sound very much like my Stealth. Ive written many posts about the Stealth, unfortunately, most of them are not so good. That could be down to bad luck and maybe its just not right foe my needs. Overall, its not a bad bike for the money, and it certainly does put a smile on your...

    Hydraulic Disc brakes

    Wow, they are pricey. Something I need to look at doing is working out how to have the break cut outs still working if i change
