    Bosch Active Plus Gen.3, rotational play between chainring and cranks

    There’s a little backlash between the crank and chainring on the gen 3 motor. The chainring is not bolted directly to the crank arm like a conventional bike. if you rotate the pedals back and forth you can feel a little clunk. its been on every ALP motor I’ve tried (well into double figures)...

    Oh no not again, Impulse 2 motor 2020

    After all the trouble with the impulse 2 motors, I’m surprised to see 2020 models still have impulse 2 motors. I spotted a 2020 Kalkhoff Sahel for sale with this motor, I was wondering if the issues have been fixed and if so why on earth they kept the same name. For many just mentioning...

    Avarax-E - The Self-Cleaning E-bike as low as $500! = Less than 500 UK Pounds!

    “Don’t sell my personal details” I’m not a big fan of links to websites that will sell my personal details unless i specificity tell them not to. how many people have opened the link and spotted the tick box saying “Don’t sell my personal details”

    Freego Hawk vs Giant Easy-E+2

    yes that’s my concern, it’s not a nice enough bike to take a risk especially @ £500. Maybe if it doesn’t sell he may be flexible on the price ;) I know he wants it out of the way but I also know he believes it to be worth £500. meanwhile I continue searching “bikes for sale” adds :rolleyes:

    General clothing

    Easy enough to make, I made one for my aunt because she didn’t want to spoil her hair when I take her out for a walk (89years old) I used magnetic fasteners like these below, I would avoid zips and Velcro as it could be irritating rubbing against your neck o_O
