Although fairly able at bike repairs, I was uncertain when it came to electricity. Even a friend who is an elecrician balked at the electronics and pointed out that ideally, an e-bike mechanic needs mechanics, electrics and electronics in his training. I was impressed by certain web site for a...

If all else fails, try reading the instructions!!!! Seriouly though, let's try and re-construct what is happening. You go over a bump, the throttle and pedelec fail. You stop, switch off and back on and everythings OK? So, exactly what is being moved etc. when you do this? Could it be the...

So glad to hear that. Mike

Better tell the council. Years ago there was a tragic motor cycle accident in Swansea where a motorcyclist hit a raised portion of road and came off, slid across the road and hit the kerb. The defect was repaired the same day.

Congrats Flecc Mike

I do my maintnance in my garage. I have a twin pulley system, I hook the one pulley to one of the beams, put a sling around the seat post or handlebar and hook the other pulley to it. Just pull the bike up in the air as far as you like.

Does that apply to e-bikes? Mike

My guess is that the officer used words to the effect:- 'The facts will be reported for a prosecution to be considered for..........' Then added virtually everything that he could think of. What will happen is that he will need advice from supervisors, and at that point, the true situation...

Sorry Steve, I do not agree. When you start a campaign like this, the majority of the public will not care, a good proportion will be anti-cyclist and horrified by the fact that in order to allocate road space to cyclists, 'their' road space for cars will have to be reduced. (See the Chelsea...

Thanks Rog and Flecc, I was imagining some sort of 'Starship Enterprise' impulse drive. I am quite disappointed!

I did not go into details in case I frightened you, but as some time has passed and you are OK, I will. When you have been in an accident such as this, you have no idea if you are injured. Serious injuries do not hurt because the body releases endomorphins to numb the site of the injury...

No, seeing the pool, he has obviously invited all the local kids to a pool party, they are in the house getting changed!

I know it sounds awful, but in these sort of circumstances, the best is to lie on the road, use your phone to call an Ambulance and Police and let them cart you off to hospital for a check up. The Police will take details, so you have an independant witness to any admissions etc. Too often...

What is the impulse system exactly. Is it just a name, or are there actual impulses used?

I suspect that we will see an uptake surge in the Spring.

Older members will remember the Raleigh 'Pink Witch'

Well I have heard this said about Europe, but as far as I can see, generally they are the same as us. Check youtube for Dutch and Belgian cyclists.

My guess is that they were just interested, like so many other peopl are. Bare in mind that some Police forces issue e-bikes.

I have been through about 6 microwave ovens in the past 20 years. Admittedly they were all cheap ones, but they all started to rust quite soon.
