Could of loosed it just then!

No you can't The games are being held in Britain. Diolch yn fawr.

The problem is that just by putting top end components on a bike does not make it a good bike. The frame geometry, weight and strength is most important. In this instance we have an interesting change to tried and tested geometry. The question is why bother? There are no obvious advantages and I...

Regarding the saddle, there are lots of designs like this and they are anatomically better for you than the normal style. Problem is that without some sort of nose that your thighs can grip for subtle balancing, they feel insecure and wobbly. Motorcyclists can grip the tank with their knees to...

The riding position seems akin to that of a penny farthing. Probably quite comfortable for short distances but difficult pedal hard. Might make a good electric bike!

I really do not think that the standard 'We have sold x number of these and you are the first to complain' is an adequate or responsible response. Clearly, if they have sold so many without anything going wrong, this is proof in itself that there is something wrong with your bike.

We are now getting a long way from the 'Lorry wiper motor and 12 volt lead acid battery' stage. Interesting days ahead!

Back to the OP. The concept of a modicum of weather proofing on a bike will always attract inventors. The problem is that no-one can think of any acceptable design. Dinghy sailors have the same problem.Of course for them, not being such an energetic pursuit, wet suits or even dry suits make all...

Well I have just put two questions on the site 1 How did you ride it without the key 2 How come you haven't got the key and charger. Let's see if he/she answers.

The reason that I did the test is that so many sellers quote all sorts of imaginary mileages. Now we know that on the flat, a one year old Tonaro 10 amp, 36 volt battery will carry a 104 kilo rider 17.1 miles without any assistance whatsoever. To quote mileages that involve pedal assistance seem...

I think that I made an error when I said fad. In their place, slim saddles no doubt have their uses, but for e-bikes of the general useage type they are not suitable. Look at the Dutch who know a thing or two about bikes, their town bikes have wide saddles. I know that some members like to have...

Eddieo It's the Specialised Expedition Plus.

The best saddle I have found so far is made by 'Specialised' It is 23 cms wide. Yesterday, when I did my battery range test, I sat on it for about an hour without any pedalling In other words, most of my weight was taken on the saddle not the pedals. I am 6 foot tall and weigh 104kilos so I...

Thanks Flecc, I do not know the capacity of the new battery, but I am sure that my older one produces slightly more power. Thinking back, I feel that mine gradually increased in the early stages. As I say, there is nothing definitive about this, just a feeling on my way home up a very slight...

One thing that I did notice. As back up and to get home, I took my son's identical but new battery. When I came back up the old railway track using the new battery, the bike was slightly slower than normal when using my battery. So, although batteries age and degrade from the moment they are...

GammaX bikes, as their manufacturers assure us are:- Steps of the chase the sun Look forward to working with you together to go its own way GAMMAX, to create a movement of the Chinese people's new life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just done an exhaustive test on my Tonaro. Details Bike:Tonaro Enduro. Battery: One year old labelled 'Lithium Polymer Battery' 36 volt 10 amp hour. Terrain: The flat promenade from Swansea to Mumbles. Conditions: Wind 10-15 mph. Rider 104 Kilo Total distance travelled 17.1 miles...

Frankly I amazed that a manufacturer would produce an e-bike that needs pedalling to start. I have to thread my way along a tricky passage, slightly uphill and if I did not have a throttle then I would not want the bike.

Once you start upping the power, as said above, all sorts of problems creep in. Unfortunately, a gear box, equivalent to the strength of a moped one is heavy, so your extra power to climb hills is reduced by heavier gears---which require bigger brakes, stronger back wheels etc. It might be...

Firstly, the Swiss are recognising that the actual power of the motor is not relevant if you limit the speed of the bike. They are in fact recognising reality in that many motors are already producing 500w Also, for a practical e-bike, the main limitation as to how much power is actually used is...
