    Ebike Check List

    the problem now with Dutch cycle lanes are scooters that are 50cc or under they can use the bike lanes,and boys being boys whizz about and you don't hear them until they are right on top of you. At least they seem to be crashing a lot, Darwin's theory is doing its work.

    Any more i need to do befoe going on my first ride on a new to me bike ?

    get good pump[s] with a digital read out and a tire pressure gauge,wind and low pressure in your tires will suck the life out of your battery.I seem to need to pump every 4 days to keep the pressure up to 6 bar.
