Hi DMcGoldrick. I had a suspicion that you were already an ebiker, but then I thought, what the hell, I'll say it anyway. Apropos your plan to do some longer rides, may I suggest a Freego Eagle, (heh). With the 16A/H battery you can easily do 50 miles on a charge, including hills, provided...

Not all bad then eh! At least the summary appears to be written in an open minded way, I guess we'll have to see what comes of it.

From a general perspective, I would suggest that 2 months is far too long to leave a battery unattended. During the awful winter we have endured, I once didn't ride for 23 days, (it was hell, craving for my E-fix). When I did get out it was quite noticeable that the battery didn't have as much...

Thanks Mike, it's not just me then. Curiously, I replaced my secret password with exactly the same one, and the software didn't seem to notice!!! Bit of a shocker that I've been on here for so long!!

is this a good time to buy a new ebike......? I think it's a bit like computers, phones or anything else these days. There will always be a new model out shortly after you make a purchase, that's for sure, whichever bike you buy. You could wait for years, and that risk is still there...

On logging in just now, I was asked to renew my password because its over 500 days old. Is this normal??

Congratulations Oldie, Looks like you'll be having some fun with those. I'm sure you will get used to the foibles. The CD will encourage you to put some effort in, but should give very good range. I ride a Yamaha FJR, but I just love ebiking, and its worked wonders on my health and weight...

Sage advice RoadieRoger. Having been burgled last September for the first time in 35 years, I have become obsessed with security, and that item looks like a worthy addition to my growing anti-burglar arsenal. There are a great deal more valuable items in my garage than in my house, and I've...

But I thought farting was normal, and as the medical profession tells us that it's healthy to fart, and that most organic creatures fart in one way or another, the campaign fails to 'de-normalise' smoking, quite the opposite in fact. After all, LePetomaine made a living from farting in public...

In earnest, I rushed to empty my Euro bank account today, only to be reminded that I spent it all a while back! Seriously though, perhaps this will start the domino effect and bring about an abrupt end to the Socialist Euro farce that manacles the european economies from getting out of this...

"Whoare". Who cares? There's one or more on every forum, and whatever his edicts may have been, my Eagle was going like a rocket on the way back from the pub on Saturday night, and the new barmaid seemed duly impressed with my 'Electric Bicycle". It doesn't get any better! Sorry, feeling a bit...

I do wonder how it is, that the law looks upon theft and burglary as a minor misdemeanor, barely worthy of admonishment, whilst at the same time, minor speeding offenders are reviled as the anti-christs of society. Why can we not have a proper system of punishment that clearly discourages...

Nail on the head Scimitar. Sadly, corruption is everywhere, Westminster and especially the EUSSR, but seems prevalent in every state section of society. How else do incompetent NHS executives get £800,000 for 6 months stupidity and laziness whilst patients needlessly die at the hands of their...

Perhaps "Wissy" is really Prince William posting under a pseudonym! And he's an Ebiker!!!:cool:

I seem to have ridden quite often in rain, mostly the light to medium stuff, although around Christmas time I had a 5 mile ride that was very very wet indeed, equivalent to cycling up a river bed with an inch or two of water. My controller sits in a box that is part of the bike frame behind the...

I guess any forum is subject to the trolling lowlife that appear throughout our online activities. Whatever their deluded motivations might be, where one is summarily dealt with, another will surely follow regardless of our remonstrations either way. As evidenced here, although I didn't see the...

A different topic indeed, but one that I'm sure vexes us all at some stage or another. Having been divorced 5 years now after a solid 26 years married bliss, I have also found myself 'on the market'. From my perspective it seems much the same from my side Hatti, a lack of honesty is prevalent...

I'm with Scimitar on this. Having sold a few motorcycles over the years, I encourage the incumbent to check all aspects of the bike and satisfy they want it. I then insist on cleared payment in full and complete all receipts and associated paperwork. They can then test ride the bike, and If he...

I guess I would be a 9 out of 10 in summer, and a 7 in winter. I ride at least once a week unless the weather is exceptionally bad, which has certainly been the case of late. Mostly, I set off for a good few hours and ride at least 25 miles, and often more. All my fun activities are dependent...

With all this wet weather, I spotted this: Ultra Ever Dry - YouTube Seems amazing, clothing, electrics, whole bike! The end of cleaning as we know it perhaps! Just like that old film, "The man in the white suit".:cool:
