    Skarper e-bike conversion kit now available in EU

    So Sir Chris says... "“I envisage somebody with an old, tatty bike that they’ve had for years, or maybe they just bought on eBay — something that they’re happy to leave locked up outside their office,” Hoy said. “Nobody’s going to bother stealing it, or even look twice at it. But then, they can...

    Currently I'm seeing 8% quidco cashback being offered for millets. Yep agree about the fork, but at least it's an Air fork so I'd expect it to be better than the cheap pogo stick Suntour forks.

    Advice on buying an E-Bike

    I reckon the locking of the bike is between the lcd display (has a Bluetooth connecivity) and the phone app, not the controller. I have a new Bluetooth enabled bafang display, similar arrangement, can be unlocked when bluetooth enabled phone with app is within range if setup to do so. If you...

    Advice on buying an E-Bike

    The eleglide gets my vote IF the size available fits you. You might wanna hold out for the 29" version if it's due instock soon and that would be a better fit. Hydraulic brakes and a 15ah battery sets it apart from other similar bikes at this price point. A lot of bike for the money

    Review of £360 Argos E-Plus bike

    Yep, that's what I was worried about. I can't see any drainage holes around the BB area so in time left unsealed those big holes with wet dripping cables going into them from the top will result in the BB rusting out from within. I might try and build up some silicone sealant layers around the...

    Trying to get back into cycling but have lots of questions!

    My Boardman MX Sport hybrid ( same frame as MX Comp ) are able to handle at least a 46t chainwheel ( i run an ofset 42t). There are more road focussed Boardman hybrid frames that run big chainwheels but less tyre clearance at the rear . Mine can just about handle a 1.75 inch width (700c/28 dia)...

    Switzerland’s best e-bike tour – Route 1291| Switzerland Tourism

    I think you're missing my point. The Malvern hills are about 400m high, some of the Swiss Alp climbs on cycling tours are upto 1600m high. Either way it doesn't matter as long as you want to do them and plan to have enough battery range. So I might go up the equivalent of 4 lots of Malverns in a...

    Switzerland’s best e-bike tour – Route 1291| Switzerland Tourism

    A cycling tour can be as flat or as hilly as you like. As long as you plan your day rides well taking into account elevation and much reduced battery range with the climbing involved. Avoiding massive hills on tours means you miss out on some amazing views, like the ones we got from a Cotswolds...

    Switzerland’s best e-bike tour – Route 1291| Switzerland Tourism

    I did a europe eurorail month with my brov in the late 80s. We visited amongst other countries, Swiss cities Bern, Basel and Geneva. I remember 2 halfs of lager was 8 quid which is probably over £25 in today's money. The hotels were silly money for a basic one without breakfast. We had to travel...
