Just got my letter as well, although it makes no reference to an E-Bike shelter, but its great news. I hope the pub reaps the benefits and if I find myself up that way I'll be making a point of visiting and spending a couple of bob.

Hi all, I have Tektro cable operated disc brakes on my bike, and have a small query as to the correct method of adjusting the inner pad. The brake works by the cam pushing the against the disc and bends it to bring it into contact with the 'fixed' pad on the inside. The inner pad is...

Indeed, spelling is important, as is grammar and most importantly, punkchooayshun. However, we must also endeavour not to appear intolerant of the efforts of others in their textual manifestations. A close buddy of mine has either Dyslexia, or a form of word blindness, or possibly both. His...

Great that you're having fun Davef. Some folk are lucky with punctures, but I've had 7 or 8 already, mostly from Blackthorne hedgecuttings which are unfortunately prevalent around my way. I learnt an early lesson with my first puncture occuring 23 miles from home with no tube or repair...

Jolly exciting, I hope they bring out a bike with Plasma Conduits and Warp Drive soon. It is interesting the big boys are showing an interest at last, but I have seen an increasing number of E-Bikes around and about lately, and if the giants are getting activated, they must feel the market is...

Sorry to hear that terrible news Steve.C. Eagle frames are guaranteed for 4 years. This is stated on their website and I just checked it is still the case. In the absence of clear evidence of systematic abuse, you are due for a new frame, no question. I've done a fair bit of off road riding...

Crikey! Top marks for the truck driver!

I would certainly second Steve.C's comments. Freego Eagles are great. It has pure throttle or 3 stage pedelec control. With the 17 a/h battery I can ride 45 miles including climbing from sea level over the top of Beachy Head, across the South Downs Way, (chalk, mud, puddles, rocks and steep...

Hey, those lights are nice and shiny, where did you get those?

Extra battery. Rechargeable pack for a really serious front light like the Cree models. Another drinks bottle. A handy toolkit and puncture repair stuff in a bottle shaped container. A small animal carrier for your Gerbil to enjoy the ride in! Umm!:p

Hi Davef, I also have an Eagle and love it to bits. I only have a side stand so have not encountered the problems you have. Hopefully you can resolve this shortly. For descending off road at speed, you need a dual suspension bike with long travel forks, the constant bashing would surely...

Wasn't that the old "LePetomane Rocket" version ?

Hi Jackhandy. You have decided to buy an E-bike. Excellent decision. Regarding your quandary, only you will know how rough the terrain is that you plan to ride. As such, your best plan must be to ride both models back to back and see which you feel would best suit your needs. Unless you...

Hi BertEddie, I'm sorry no one has replied, and I can't help you much as I have no direct experience of the Oxygen range. They do seem to be nice quality bikes, and when I was researching last year I was sorely tempted by the E-Mate race, mainly because I thought it looked nice, which, being...

A human being could be construed to be a machine, albeit an organically based one. Electricity is also used by one's legs whilst pedalling, so in that sense, we are all mechanically propelled in one way or another. Interpretation of the law is always a matter of perspective as viewed by the law...

Seriosuly though, I must admit that a major reason for my original interest in E-Bikes was to visit the pub for a couple of swift ones. Whilst a normal bike can do the journey to my local, heavy pedalling up a 2 mile long hill to get home just did not appeal. On an E-Bike, it's no trouble at...

Goodness me Neptune, have you really put your willy in the mangle??

Sage words Hatti.

Hi David1949, The short answer is I don't really know. What size battery do you have, and what is your normal mileage when you arrive home with 2 lights left? Do you always set off with a recent full charge? I don't think Lithium batteries suffer with any memory effect, but I have read on...

I have the standard controller panel with 4 lights for remaining power. From a full charge, on a 17a/h battery, and measuring the number of lights in a static no-load state, The first light goes out around 30 to about 35 miles, dependent on hills and wind conditions. I'm usually down to 2...
