    New battery needed for my Carrera Crossfire Ebike (2019 model)

    Nice one. Mine was shipped from Europe, arrived within a week, hopefully yours too. The charger that comes with the baytery will be euro plug, get an euro to uk adapter. It's possible that your existing charger will charge this new battery (it has the same charger connector) I wasn't sure so I...

    Solar trailer short trips

    I think you'd benefit from one of these types of signs on the back of the trailer , might make the knobs think twice before the stupid overtakes if they think they'll be captured on camera and plod might get to see it https://passpixi.com/

    Which is the best Android app for a sunny ride?

    Komoot app is great for navigation, set phone to max brightness, and set Komoot to turn off display between turns to save battery. Set your screen timeout to 30secs. I paid 20 quid for a lifetime sub to all world-wide maps

    Bad battery from AliExpress.com

    To sell you a 30Ah 48v battery, ship it across the world, cover taxes/ import duty at £176 that's very cheap, hence the seller either is using cheap recycled potentially used cells, or the build quality is cheap and rushed or they have little overheads, and their customer service is non...

    Does anyone commute to work all year round?

    yep, for 4 straight years before lockdown, every day, 5 days a week all year round, in all weathers. probably about 2 or 3 days a year when it was very icy did I take the car, but snow not a problem. As mentioned, get all of the gear, waterproof jacket, trousers, deep winter gloves, balaclava...

    why is this even up for debate?

    2 foot from the kerb means that you've got 2 foot to move left if you see the driver heading straight for you. that could be towards a hedge, pavement etc that 2 foot could mean the difference between the car hitting you full on or you avoiding it completely. You'll know this because to overtake...

    why is this even up for debate?

    since fitting mirrors to all of my bikes a number of years ago, I couldn't be without them. Makes for a much more relaxing ride knowing I've got a chance to avoid a rear collision if the driver doesn't see me

I never went through with it as I started to use...
