OK, I've been reading on here about gradients, I've even now made a small home-made inclinometer as per Flecc's instructions. So, here's my question. If a hill is 20 feet long and rises 2 feet in that distance, that is a 10% hill, right? The reason I'm asking is, my living room is...

OK, just to change the mood a bit. I went out yesterday for a few miles and it was windy. I mean WINDY. It was a great feeling when I was going along a flat road for about .75 miles at 27 mph. I felt like a Tour de France rider. I even had a car following me about 10/15 yards back making no...

It is warm and sunny here in Central Scotland today so I was out for my 1st run of the year. It was good to get back out and I did 14 miles. I'm glad I bought the bike training thingy in December and I've done 160 miles in my garage over the Winter and felt quite fit out on the bike. Now...

Since I got my Kudos, I've only ever saw one other e-bike and that was a man travelling from his work a couple of times. I've seen plenty of other cyclists when I'm out on my bike but never another e-bike. Are there any other e-bike riders here from the Flakirk/Grangemouth area?

OK, here's the story: I've got a Kudos Tourer which I love to bits and get between 30 and 40 miles from the battery, depending on route taken and how lazy I am. My wife bought me a spare battery and I charged it up and decided to fully discharge it to condition it. When I started using the new...

I've now done almost 200 miles on my ebike and either the bike is getting better or I'm getting fitter. This morning I did 22 miles at an average speed of 16.25 mph which is a slight increase in speed. However, what I noticed today was, I was going up the same hills as usual but at a faster...

Two recent rhreads have prompted me to write this post. The 1st was about a lady with a puncture and no-one stopped to help her. This morning I was out for my early morning ride when my speedometer started acting up. It was reading erratic, going from 4mph to 24mph with me not increasing or...

Ok I've now been getting the chance to go out and play on my new shiny electric bike. This morning I was out minding my own business on the quiet Sunday roads. I came to a bridge over the union canal near Whitecross and looked down. There it was, the "TOWPATH" It looked inviting and would...

OK, I did my first decent run on the Kudos Tourer today. 1st impressions are, I loved it. I live in a very hilly area in Central Scotland and was worried about the hills when I was searching for an E-bike. I chose the Kudos tourer for a couple of reasons: 1st it looks like a normal (to me)...

I've had the Kudos tourer for just over a week and today was the first chance I've had to try it out. I did 18 miles up steep hills and down steep hills. Where I live they are ALL steep hills. I may put a proper review in the review section later. It seems to have only used 1 bar of the battery...

My Kudos Tourer arrived today and although I haven't been able to give it a good go yet, I did try it on the hill right outside my house. It's a fair hill, not the steepest near me but not a shallow hill either. Anyway, off I set and like Iffy who reported on his Kudos King yesterday I too...

I wanted to buy an Alien Gents special II but you can't get them anymore. Alien say it has been replaced by the Typhoon. Does anyone have any experience of this bike? Does it come in 21" frame size? Jim
