What a great cargo bike conversion and by the looks of it one happy young passenger! Fab story !

Stunning, my kind of tour, thanks for posting A ball ache getting there with the ebikes, unless they are folders or disassembled in which case you can take the TGV fast trains from belgium/france to switzerland, otherwise you are on the TER slow train which takes twice as long (9 hrs from Paris)

I liken taming an Argos speed control beast to mastering a Maico 490 from the 80s. Real men (and women) need only apply

Worth pointing out with our usual crap British weather around the corner, there's some quite big cable holes in the underside of the downtube that are likely to get caked up with crud and fill with water Do yourself a favour and try and seal as best you can. I used gaffer tape, hopefully it'll...

If it was me (and I ride something similar) is to buy a decent £500-£600 hybrid ( https://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/pinnacle/cobalt-3-hybrid-bike-939177#colcode=93917719 )and add a Tongsheng mid drive (if you must have Torque drive) and pair it with a couple of these 36v 25ah batteries (one...

I added a 50 mm riser bar, has made the bike much more comfortable. 31.8 clamp size,720 wide,50mm rise, £16.42 del https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265972117331?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=o1IPshWtSkS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Dst78JQnToG&var=565829231730&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY...

I hope they have sorted out the issues with this motor https://ebike-mtb.com/en/fazua-ride-60-review/

The 360 quid Pulse MTB has a lishui lsw06-hlk1cfsb controller built into the battery base and is rated up to 15a. Here's a pic I have found which is identical to mine on the bike (my pics only show half of the info as its attached to the bike)

Although I have two bottle cage bolts and a third rivnut, I also have two wide velcro straps. My hailongs aren't going anywhere despite some bone shaking gravel tracks

Indeed, a very personal thing...after reading all the rave reviews I bought a brand new Brooks B17 years ago. I tried so much to get use to it, rode it on and off for a few hundred miles. Every couple of years, I'd get the tin of proofhide out and I would have another go and breaking it in with...

Just come home a week ago from a 6 day Cotswolds tour, averaging about 70 miles per day. It took me over a decade and about 7 or 8 different saddles to find my holy grail of comfort long distance touring saddles last year, the selle royal respiro ( moderate shape ) . Not cheap, but worth every...

yep

Nice clean tidy build that, I like it

Mine arrived today, efficient service from Argos delivery team. The bike was pristine, not a single mark or blemish and securely packaged. Had to adjust the brakes, but gears indexed perfectly. The build was easy setup I had the same issue as @saneagle where the motor cable was outside of...

Thanks for the detailed review and pics @saneagle . Mine is due for delivery on Thursday so I'm looking forward to setting up and testing. But from your review it does look like a genuine bargain for the money. Glad a few forum members managed to nab one. I missed out on the 245 quid folder...

I wish my commute was mainly on private land like your commute is

Yep, good call, will pick up some cheap Zefals for a tenner on Amazon. Looks like it's sold out now on the Argos website. Reviews to follow

I've fallen for my own hype and ordered one too. I've convinced myself that I'll use it now and again to nip into town/shops and leave it locked up and not worry too much it being stolen as I would with my other bikes/ebikes. I've got a pretty meaty Bulldog Brute u lock. I'm gonna keep it as...

Sweet, looks exactly identical battery holder to all my existing Hailong 36v base plates and batteries - I wonder where the controller is - built into the baseplate like those yosepower ones ?

These are the low cost ebikes that you can bimble into town on and lock up outside the supermarket, pub, cafe etc knowing that some scrote ain't gonna be bothered to get his angle grinder on your lock. And if they do then no big deal. I might get one for that reason alone
