    New Member & Planned Build

    Those bottle mount holes are low down the frame so you will need to add an additional hole in the frame (rivnut) higher up if you plan to use a Hailong style downtube battery. Will be tight with the slimmest Hailong 1 type battery, get the dimensions and produce a cardboard template to test...

    Bafang PAS intermittent problem BBS01

    Apologies for the thread ressurection but today I'm having similar issues where I'll be riding along and intermittently there's no assist on my BBS01b. The display is on and showing speed, voltage etc as normal but the power displays 0W. Then it'll start assisting as normal. I've check cables...

    Teen on e-bike dies after colliding with ambulance

    Was cycling on a narrow cycle path in Belgium last year, when a lad of about 14 flew past us from behind at about 45-50 mph on a Sur-Ron style electric motorbike, he then negotiated a narrow s-bend on the path ahead between two staggered bollards without backing off, leaning full over both ways...

    Teen on e-bike dies after colliding with ambulance

    Was it an 'ebike' as reported by the BBC here, or was it actually an electric motorbike (45mph + Sur-Ron - as in the first case a few weeks ago in Wales) I can picture the Daily Mail comments now - BAN THEM EBIKES NOW!! - They are lethal and they don't pay any road tax !!

    Cheap Electric Bike

    I'd definitely be in on this group buy, but I've just bought a Kirby vacuum cleaner, paid some guys to tarmac my drive, and bought a Dyson hair dryer, so I'm cleaned out. If the offer's still on next month, count me in. I do love a bargain and this looks mint

    Two boys die in "ebike" accident: Cardiff riot broke out after 'police prevented parents seeing fatal crash victims', close relative says

    I feel sad for the families of the two lads. The media reporting what are electric motorbikes as ' e-bikes ' doesn't help the reputation of law abiding legally riding pedelecers

    Step through bike uphill

    No, definitely do not attempt to turn while riding and seated, ALLWAYS stop, get off, point the handlebars in the desired direction, remount, and continue. If you do not follow this advice, the frame will almost certainly collapse resulting in serious injury or worse. These step through bikes...

    Tsdz2 way too many problems.

    I get that the TSDZ2 has the 'advantage' of using torque sensing as opposed to the Bafang BBS cadence sensor, but I find that I can put as little or as much effort of my own with my BBS by either changing the assist level and/ or pedalling harder, which directly results in the range I achieve on...

    "Get me Home" Battery

    They do 3 types, athletic (narrow), relaxed (wide)and moderate (the one I have - medium width) which are suited to different riding positions (45, 60 and 90 degree back angle). I think what makes the difference with this saddle is the Royal Gel which is top quality and the cutaway channel. Your...

    "Get me Home" Battery

    Switched to this saddle about 6 months ago, game changer. I have finally found the Holy Grail of comfortable saddles after over a decade and countless saddles including Brooks leather ones. Not cheap ( I paid about £40 from Amazon) but worth every penny. I can sit on this all day long, bloody...
