Hi Fordulike, it's a Bikehut anatomical saddle so available at any Halfords store. Firm and comfortable , pretty good quality, can't be certain of price from memory but was in the sale and a bargain at the time. It's suits the bike and is more comfortable than even the Brooks Flyer. One man's...

Hi Guy. Welcome and great choice of bike!

Yes will do. Would like to stand them each in there own single wheel stand and then strap them securely. Incidently check out Swift Basecamp a brilliant caravan with rear entry door and bench seats that fold up to allow room for bikes to be stored en route. Bit pricey but great for active...

Forgot to add there doesn't seem to be any water bottle braize on bosses unusual for a trekking bike. Anyone know of best place to carry bottles on this model. The frames an unconventional shape.

Thanks guys, l'll give it a go.

Hi all,. Hope I have the right area of the forum to discuss taking the ebikes away with us on caravan holidays. We have a 2013 Swift Ace Ambassador caravan and would like to know if any other ebike owners know of any bike carriers that can fit to either van or car that can take the weight of...

350 miles completed mainly locally but did a short ride out from Moneyash in the peak District with Mrs G on her Giant. (Am working on Mrs G joining the forum and posting her own reviews and ebike experiences, although there may be the risk of some detrimental entries towards myself!) Haibike...

Just about 250 miles completed with no complaints so far, the ergonomic bike but saddle is far more comfortable for me than the stock one, but will also try the Brooks Flyer in near future. Half thinking of doing one of the sustrans routes next month, either the 'way of the roses' or the...

That's fascinating, the pub has some great memories for you. Ime 59 and my first visit to the hostel was in 1996, I remember the lady who managed the hostel was from up in the north east. It was always a good pull up the Burway from Church Stratton but I've only ever passed through on way to...

I haven't used a hub gear for over 20 years but a mate with a Rholloff Swears by them . Derrailiers' chain obviously needs to flexibly derail and a hub gear can allow a higher quality straight running chain to be fitted. If riding in muddy conditions then a hub is a great option, after all...

Hi Kenji welcome aboard. Ebike choice? Sounds like you will need good lights and reflective clothing for 3am rides. Apart from that for commuting a solid rack, adequate mudguards and comfort are high on the agenda. There are many choices but would stick with Yamaha or Bosch motors as they seem...

Hi Richard welcome to the forum. What's your steed? Was only talking to a mate today who had a day out in your town recently, said what a great place it is.

Sounds good! Have visited that very Pub on a few occasions when staying at Bridges yha, when cycling the end to end and a coast to coast Yarmouth to barmouth. The Burway and styperstones is fantastic walking and cycling country , we are lucky to have such great scenery within easy reach of home.

A great bike = more satisfying rides which = getting out more often which = a feelgood factor +++ the outlay on a quality ebike is money well spent! And you have some great local countryside on your doorstep to enjoy. My wife joined me for a nice ride out today on her Giant ebike, a leisurely...

Hi Simon, looks a really nice ebike with clean lines and really like the front suspension how long was your first outing?

Hi Sam and welcome, what new bike have you got your eye on?

Well here we go, my third ebike starting with a Giant, then Kalkhoff, and now onto a Haibike SduroTrekking 5.0. I've always liked the look of the Haibike but previously was swayed by the longer range of the Kalkhoff Integrale. But the latest test ride on the Haibike was convincing in that it...

Thanks for your replies guys, suppose we live and learn from our experiences but it's a real shame for those that find themselves with a troublesome machine that's out of warranty. I've been lucky in that I haven't lost anything due to good dealership back up when it counted. Today have done 82...

Well this is my last report on the Kalkhoff as we have decided to depart company following further issues including a faulty front axle thread and another motor failure. The Impulse Evo RS I understand from talking to other owners is usually a reliable unit but unfortunately not for me, which is...
