In the past I have just pulled the punctured tyre up and out of the way (tying it up in such a way that it doesn't interfere with wheel rotation). The Gaadi can then be inserted (and, ideally, pumped up easily and quickly using one of those CO2 cartridges). The punctured inner can later be...

Ah. OK - thanks. Presumably this sort of "pinch puncture" could happen, even though I had done a good 500 miles (not in one day though!) on that tube and tyre?

Dealing with punctures is considerably easier if you carry a Gaadi Double Ended Inner tube. No need to take the wheel off. Saved me a lot of trouble and got me home a couple of times. In fact, happened to me yesterday but I cant quite fathom out why I got the puncture in the first place. No sign...

now....where were we........?

Apart from other ebikers, my experience of meeting other cyclists is that I am generally ignored. As I'm usually over friendly (and not in any lycra etc) then they probably just thing I'm a bit mad/eccentric! Having said that, I generally find that women cyclists are much more inclined to share...

Nothing to do with puncture proof - but a very useful way of dealing with them: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/product-news/rubena-introduces-bicycle-inner-tube-can-fitted-without-removing-wheel-133637 I've used one myself (and now carry a spare), together with CO2, and it definitely saved...

Punctures can be a problem - especially taking into account all the wiring/connections on an e-bike. I found the Gaadi inner tube (a straight section of tubular rubber sealed at each end) to be really useful. Only had to use it once but now I always carry one when out on a long cycle ride. Not...

Dont forget the padded underpants! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bike-Gel-3D-Bicycle-Cycling-Riding-Shorts-Padded-Pants-Underpants-MenSize-M-XXXL-/201604986040?var=&hash=item2ef097f4b8:m:mRGpM8VwDula73_npwPRZBw

If you need to transport the Big Bear I can certainly recommend the Exodus towbar carrier. At £60 its a no-brainer - though you would need a towbar. I can also vouch for the Big Bear. It has taken me along some fairly rough routes and come out the other side unscathed...

Just to add to the debate/discussion - I use an Exodus two bike carrier that fits onto the towbar (£60 from Halfords). I do, however, restrict its use to just carrying the one electric bike. Yes, the length of the bike is longer than the width of the car - but its not longer than the width of...

I enjoyed the write up and being reminded of the joy (yes...joy!) of rediscovering cycling all over again, courtesy of an electric bike. I'm sure you will have come across these things already (and I'm sure others will have their own views on the best additions to your cycling experience) but I...

Just out of interest - this is the one I use. It needs a towbar but its only £60. It takes a Woosh Big Bear quite comfortably, although I'm not sure it could handle two bikes. Its branded "Exodus" but Thule also make one (£65) but I have no experience of using the Thule one...

I recently changed the straight handlebars on my Big Bear for Humpert Cruiser Handlebars (25.4mm Clamp) in Black from SJS Cycles (Product code: 34024BLK). Although the postage was £5, they were only £8.99 and, so far, have worked a treat. Much more comfortable sitting positions are now options...

May be one of the best things you ever bought - certainly was for me. Enjoy!

Probably not that useful (as I have no experience of the Cyclotricity Stealth or the Sprint Primo) but I can certainly recommend the Woosh Big Bear. I have had mine for about 18 months and really cant fault it.

No sooner said, than done! (I hope, if the technology works)

They arrived yesterday (brand name ergotec). Seem fine to me but, intriguingly, they are marked as "Safety Level 2". Never heard of that but the chart that came with it suggests that an "E-bike" should have a "safety level" of 4 or more. Very strange. There are also references to speed and...

Ah. OK. They were £8 plus £5 shipping at SJS - so I saved £3 (I know - I'm such a miser!)

Well, I tracked down these in the end. Not, strictly speaking, NorthEnd, but same idea. https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/handlebars/590-humpert-cruiser-handlebars-254mm-clamp-black
