    Ladies Dutch style bike.

    Paisley freight was the one I was thinking of. Cycle shop give free cardboard? Yeah right, my LBS has such a turnaround of bikes they don't have space to keep a crisp packet! But I'll ask them.

    Ladies Dutch style bike.

    I'll have to weigh (god knows how) and measure it. Plus work out how much it'll cost to box it up.

    Ladies Dutch style bike.

    battery wise they are: Length151 mm Width98 mm Height inc. terminals100 mm I wouldn't use Parcel Force for a bike ever, not unless you want it as a kit! D8evh knows a specialist bike courier, I can't remember their name who aren't much more expensive than PF and would look after the bike. I...

    Ladies Dutch style bike.

    It's going to be heavy! The battery is made up of 3 11ah 12v SLA batteries, so thats 12Kg just in the battery. Never measured the speed but my daughter always kept up with me on it and we've done over 15 miles in one run. You could fill that huge battery case up with lipo if you wanted. Battery...

    Cycling Accident :(

    Just noticed my video didn't show up. The point I was making was even the most experienced riders get caught out. Especially if there's a tricky left hand turn coming up !

    Nod of approval.

    I can't get away with that anymore, when for a test ride on my A2B metro tonight. When I stopped at some lights some people were crossing. A child with mum asked her what kind of bike "that man" was riding and she said "It's a motorbike......with pedals". No more getting away with ghost pedalling!

    Metro A2B rear battery

    You could open up the pack and have a go with the cells, it's tricky if you're not used to dealing with potentially dangerous lithium cells. Another route would to be get a good rear rack battery from BMS like this...

    Why so few Ebikes

    My local bike shop stop doing the Bionx kits as "there wasn't any call for it", I've never seen another e-biker on my commute and only saw one on a leisure ride last week , it was an old lady on a trike with her dog on the bike. Really nice conversion with a massive bottle battery, 30Ah. It was...

    Cycling Accident :(

    Steady now...... Glad you're ok, it can give your confidence a knock as well, take comfort in the fact we've all done far stupider things! I get knocked about a bit in city traffic every day but disc brakes stop me in time when people put out on me or get to close. I did manage to ride no...
