    Switched to kalkhoff

    Dropped the kalkhoff off at 50 cycles Loughborough Monday where it was decided to replace the motor. Picked up two days later and and have since covered about 50 miles with no problems at all. Was assured that a 2 year motor guarantee has restarted with the replacement unit so will see how it...

    Two short rides out over last two days. This afternoon the drive was interrupted again leaving me with no power on a steep hill. Additionally I thought I had cured the squeaky rattly noises from the front suspension fork but it is still evident, stopping only when the fork lock is on. Am I...

Thisway you can most probably try out the different makes and models /styles. Once you have narrowed it down might be good to hire the one you think you like most and test...

    Visited 50 cycles Loughborough today as arranged, they have carried out the latest software update to solve the problem. At time of writing have only had time to do a short ride of about a mile and it seems ok. Will put some more miles on asap. Fingers crossed!

    Well, tightened up various bolts around front end which has improved the odd rattling noises. However today when out locally the drive was interrupted again with the notification 'wait for drive ' appearing on the screen. I've left it as it is and 50 cycles Loughborough have requested I drop it...

    lots of hate out there

    Agreed. I have a carbon road bike which doesn't weigh much more than the battery of my ebike, different machines but enjoy them both. Cycling as a whole ideally needs to be more inclusive.

    lots of hate out there

    I remember back in the early 1980,s, ( yes I am that old) seeing my first mountain bike being ridden on the Ridgeway bridleway, and from then on numerous letters and articles were published as to their worthiness and validity. Ime afraid some cyclists can be stick in the mud types who think that...

    eMTB purchase

    Fulford cycles buy them up and sell them on. First saw them on eBay but gave them a ring he travelled up to pick up. At about half price it was snip and was a good battery as promised.
