Crikey, to pick a favourite is a challenge. My first foray into motoring started at age 7. My best mate and I saved up and purchased a Norman Nippy 2 speed moped for £3. We ragged it round a field at his Dad's farm. On the third lap I low sided into the hedge and burnt my leg on the exhaust...

Hi Appetito, What better recommendation than to buy another Eagle.:o I just responded to your other post. My Eagle is still blasting along, and so far has been reliable as a stone. I am infatuated with all the fun and adventures I have enjoyed over the last 11 months. Shortly after my...

Couldn't agree more Appetito. Mines done 1670 miles over 11 months, still going strong. I've got a day off today, and spent this morning servicing and cleaning my Eagle because it's bucketing down outside. I was impressed that it still looks like new, the spokes still glisten in the light...

Looks like a cracking bit of kit Frank. My battery is OK for now, but I am salivating heavily at the prospect of a 36volt 20A/H jobby. That should give me around 55-60 miles, with a safety margin on top! Marvellous. I need more range as the South Downs way has some steep, power sapping...

Instructions here. They should have been in the box surely! http://www.cateye.com/files/manual_dl/4/398/ED300_v1_E.pdf

Clearly I have less than half a clue, as I would'nt know where to start. But I would like to learn, and perhaps develop the skills required to replace my own battery when it checks out. I have the behind the seat rectangular section type, and can't see any reason why I couldn't replace the...

£20,000 sovs!! They are having a laugh for sure. ;) It would appear that some manufacturers view the Ebike market the same as the Swiss Watch industry. Charge a fortune, and there will always be some Dork that has more cash than brain cells! Would'nt mind a go on it though. :rolleyes:

I too have noticed the apparent drag when I switch the power off. I have come to the conclusion that it is largely just my perception of the sudden loss of assistance. If I start a ride without power, starting in first gear, it seems fine. A heavy bike for sure, but bearing in mind first...

On a recent motorcycling holiday, I had occasion to spend a couple of days in Reggio Emilia in Northern Italy. I've not been there before and I was very impressed, it's a beautiful town. There were ebikes everywhere. In the first half hour ramble around the old part of the town I saw over...

Indeed, the benefits are many and varied. Of course, on the Freego Eagle, additional health benefits are derived from the Magic Rays that emanate from the on board phase inducers! Great to see you're getting some e-action in Eagle. You'll be doing 50 milers in no time. I've lost 12 Kgs...

I have now been riding e bikes for a bit over 10 months. Prior to this I had regular problems with my left knee following an injury during a crash whilst cycling off road many years back. Going back 12 months, each morning going down stairs just after getting up, my knee was very painful...

I would love it if a proper Green Alien appeared. Shocking, but fun. So everyone, is there life on Mars? Do UFO's exist? Are we destined to travel amongst the stars? I sometimes think of these things riding my E-bike at night! :cool:

Try this. CycleStreets: UK-wide Cycle Journey Planner and Photomap The route planner shows all off road routes on the "quietist routing". I have found the site very useful for planning rides and finding off road links.

That's a lovely bike d8veh, I shall look forward to further instalments.

Top stuff Iwchris. I often go to Sandown in the Summer for a day trip, Next time I'll see if I can bring my Eagle and we could meet up for a Beer and talk endlessly about E-bikes. I'll PM you when I next plan to visit. That promenade looks a nice ride.

Splendid, I would be inclined to try one instead of a pair of underpants. When my butt gets a bit sore on a long ride I could 'deploy the bag' and regain instant comfort. I'm sure it would work.:o

It worked!!! Here's one of the Vulcan. Beachy Head itself was shaking, people were covering their ears, children were shreiking. The other picture is on Pevensey Marsh en route. Bloody marvellous. An Ebike is clearly the best way to visit such events, no hassles, no parking, no walking...

Went to Eastbourne Airshow yesterday. I saw a record number of ebikes, an Izip with a Curriedrive, two Battribikes, a Gazelle?, a Xipi with what looked like a huge battery on it, and a few others. They are definitely on the increase down south. It was wonderful to scythe through the...

Wasn't me, the doctor said I was all clear! Regular vaccinations of ebike riding have cured me completely. Welcome to the forum Sportrider, those bikes look rather nice. I shall indeed look forward to a detailed and comprehensive test report, as these bikes have not been reviewed on here and...

I have no problem with folk wearing whatever they feel appropriate for their activity, but I do have a major problem when they want to tell me what I should be doing. I do possess a helmet, but have not worn it for some years. To cite helmet wearing as a panacea for safety is rather...
