    Same bosch motor, different performance

    Have you got the same software version in Both bikes? I had a update in my Bosch ALP motor and it had a noticeable change in performance.

    Ali Express, thoughts.

    I’ve used Ali quite a few times in the past when we had ”low value = no import duty” on average I’d pay about 40% less than UK price, I didn’t mind waiting for delivery which could be as little as 10 days, occasionally my goods didn’t turn up and it then took months to get my money back. Now...

    The Battery I was always Hoping for.

    That’s all well and good but once you create a bridge between universes you’ll also end up creat exotic particles that will bring an end to the universe we call home. For me Its too high a price to pay for an inter dimensional battery, especially when it’s easier to teleport than it is to cycle...

    For Sale Wisper 705 Torque for sale

    Its a shame but at this point for me the value of the bike is academic, a round trip of close to 300 mile for a bike that doesn’t work is not for me (especially when we’re not allowed to make unnecessary journeys)

    For Sale Wisper 705 Torque for sale

    I’ve been looking for a bike for my sister and I’ve recently seen a couple of full working 705’s on eBay sell for between £530 and £646, another with a high reserve didn’t sell. They were too far away from me so I didn’t bid on them. may I ask where in the country you are, if you’re not asking...

    New cycleways springing up - thoughts?

    Rushmore road, Northampton. It’s fairly steep hill and as long as I can remember has had white lines either side denoting cycle lanes, the lines leave the remaining road a little narrow especially as the up hill side always a few cars parked over the cycle part. Late last year the down hill...

    Suggestions please, how to modify a 26" kit to suit a 29er bike ?

    A 69er with a fat rear tire and a slim front could work, I’m reminded of my dirt bike days when my bikes had 19 inch rear wheels and 21 inch front :cool:

    New green inititive to get people out of cars and onto bikes / public transport.

    Those who already cycle could buy/borrow/ a car to drive just long enough to give it up and claim the £3000 credit ?

    Rechargeable heated gloves

    I’ve got Reynauds, it doesn’t take a lot to set it off, even taking a bottle of milk out of the fridge can trigger it.

    E bike conversion kit

    Strangely not, cruising along at 6 to 8 mph on the flat for an hour or so is very comfortable. It’s a different story when you have a hill to climb as you can’t put your body weight onto the pedals, you have to push the pedals forward while pulling/bracing your upper body with the handlebars...

    Is the Yadea V7 Legal?

    I’m sure i read somewhere that if you’re caught drunk on a push bike you could end up with points on your driving license. I suspect some one will either confirm or disprove that.

    Black.

    The single point of failure in this case would be the rider dying o_O maybe riding a tandem would be the answer;) at least then if one rider should fail the bike can go on:p
