    Show us your ebikes

    You're right about the generic frame, I've seen a host of bikes that look very similar but have slightly varying specs and paint jobs. I chose this one because although I know very little about e-bikes I knew there were a few features that I wanted and this bike has them all, and at less than...

    Photography on your bike

    Once the bike is on its stand, the swivel,direction ,and height etc. are set by adjusting the tripod.

    Photography on your bike

    Fair question. Thing is sometimes the ride is just a means to get to a desired location, where perhaps there's some beautiful scenery or landscapes, and for me a tripod is always preferred for landscape photography.

    Thanks for the links fellas, seeing those reminded me that when I bought a D-lock it was too big to carry around because it was too big to fit on the frame. I use the lock itself to lock the bike to an anchor fitted to the garage wall but I never had a use for the bracket supplied...

    Good thinking oyster, I've thought the same thing many times. The best I've come up with so far is to use the monopod that's part of the tripod and clamp it to the bike frame somehow.

    Hi Muddy, carrying kit is the biggest problem I've encountered so far during my short time with the bike. I do have rear rack and that's very useful for tying my back-pack on to the bike, I try to take as much as possible but I often have to prioritise which means I usually have to leave...

    My first ebike......

    Enjoyed reading your first post Colin, and I found most of it's content could easily apply to me. I too am new to this biking stuff, and in particular I agree with what you say about the throttle being a safety feature. Can't say I agree with the bit about using the legs more though, I find...

    on the beach

    Thank you all for your replies and it's easy to see that taking my bike to the sea-shore is asking for trouble. I've only been riding for a little over a month and I'm still like a kid at Christmas, it's just that around where I live the best trails seem to lead to the water and the shore-line...

    on the beach

    Hello all, with all this glorious weather at the moment, and being retired and able to take advantage of it, I have taken to riding along the shoreline, and the beach when the tide is out. I love being close to the water and always take my bathers so I can have a dip but never...

    Carrera crossfire/vulcan tuning

    anon4 Tbh even making the walk assist go faster would be nice. TBH I'm struggling with my settings trying to get the walk-assist to slow down a bit, on the flat I have to hurry to keep up. :)

    Confused by all the choice

    That's what I'm saying, the web-site has NOT been updated but the bike HAS, I ordered my bike expecting a 10.4ah battery but the bike came with a 14ah lg cell battery. The hydraulic brakes are also now fitted as standard, but the website doesn't reflect this fact. cheers

    Confused by all the choice

    Hi Jeremiah, I bought my first ebike a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it. It's much easier to ride than I expected and I could't be more pleased with it. If you go to the web-site and read the specs. I can assure you that the bike has been updated, but not...

    How to replace an e-bike tube without removing the wheel.

    Hello all, I've had my bike for 2weeks now and had my first puncture yesterday. I pushed the bike home and took the rear wheel off in my garage, then repaired the puncture in the kitchen. It was so hard to find the site on the tube, even submerged in water in the kitchen sink,that it made...

    Hello everyone

    Thanks for that FatRat, I couldn't be happier with the bike, and of course the good weather came at just the right time. Funny how much more observant you can get when not driving a car, I've found loads of places to explore that are just off the road and I never knew they were there.

    Hello everyone

    Hello to you all, I've been meaning to introduce myself for ages now, probably 6months since I started reading on here, and at the same time searching for a bike to suit my budget. I spent lots of time searching e-bay and gumtree, plus all the links that...
