    Juiced bikes

    Shame there are no dealers in the UK for these bikes. Caught a few videos on youtube, and they look really good :) https://shop.juicedbikes.com/collections/e-bikes/products/2017-crosscurrent

    Tempted to DIY

    Ive been e-biking for about 10 months now, and gone through 3 bikes. Anyone who has read some of my posts will see that its not quite been plain sailing. Anyway, after learning quite a bit about how they work, and now I know a bit clearer what I need from the bike, I am thinking about building...

    Cycle to work

    New cycle to work scheme starts soon. However my employer uses one that appears exclusive to halfords. I've seen so many good bikes on here since I joined but a lot of them are above our 1000 pound limit. I don't mind paying the extra but I'm led to believe it's not possible. So I was...

    Seating position

    I just cant seem to get my seating position right. I think the height is right...my legs are nearly straight when full weight on each pedal, I think thats the recommended way to get that right. But I constantly seem to be having to sit back into my seat as I move forward in it.....it almost...

    Increased range

    Just wondering if it is a simple case of getting hold of a larger AH battery to increase overall range potential? Mine has a 48v 12ah battery, so was thinking if i could source a suitable 15ah battery, range would increase?

    Another broken ebike

    Well, I think its time I gave up on the e-bike idea. This is the 3rd ebike I have had in th space of 4 months, and it has died. The latest one, Cyclotricity stealth, done around 300 miles, and all loss of power. Checked the usual pedal sensor, sensor ring, wiring, battery voltage. The LCD...

    Cycle Commute below zero?

    Well, with the temperature dropping to 2 degress this morning, the roads were looking a bit shiny! Most of my route is on tracks and canals and a bit of road, total 15 miles. Back new to cycling after, what, 20 years or more...hence the ebike. Question is, is it mad to continue to use the bike...

    Greenedge CS2 problems

    I bought a CS2/16 in early September, and so far it has been brilliant... I have done around 450 miles on the bike up until now, usually around 30 miles a day. My journey is mostly along a gravel canal towpath. I think there may be a couple of faults developing on the bike over the last few...
