    Bike Locks

    Looks like a Brooks Flyer to me, well broken in as well. Kudos for sticking with it, I lasted about 2 months with my B17 before I gave in

    Review MiRider One

    I'm not trying to be negative, sorry if it has come across that way. It's your bike, you like it, that's all that matters. If someone after reading your (helpful) review thinks 'that's the sort of bike I need' I was merely pointing out there are other options for the same type of bike if they...

    Review MiRider One

    Fair enough. I think they use the same frame as the bike here: https://www.tomtop.com/p-rtysy-s6c-eu.html?uid=4d4dbf1d6e5804f67ffd972b65bb024b&utm_source=admitad&admitad_uid=4d4dbf1d6e5804f67ffd972b65bb024b&web=1007403 Not sure what other differences are other than this one is £800 cheaper :eek:

    Review MiRider One

    Is this the model with a tiny capacity 5.2 Ah battery? If so I wouldn't expect much more than about 10 miles range, if that, if you are using the higher assist levels

    Happy eBay E-Biker.....

    Thats a Bafang Max Drive on your bike ? I think you can change the max speed either via the display (if not locked down) or using a BBSxx programming cable Try this:# http://www.voltbike.ca/Manuals/max_drive_manual.pdf The default pin is 0512, you can then change the speed limit

    Happy eBay E-Biker.....

    Epic bargain. Enjoy the daily commute. I have found I get a great amount of personal satisfaction from commuting every day in all weathers. Sometimes laughing and singing to myself as I ride home in the wind and rain. Ebikes are great

    Problem with Carrera Crossfire e-bike

    Do you still get good range ? If you hold the battery on/off button down for 10 secs do you get all 5 bars flash on the battery ? If so, that indicates 80-100% capacity available once fully charged ( SEE PAGE 9 of here -...

    to buy or not to buy?!

    I guess it's no different to an individual ordering direct from China - Aliexpress, Banggood etc and paying the import duty themselves when it arrives in the UK, they (or the customer) are avoiding VAT unless there is VAT paid by the company locally in China (probably not). I guess it comes...

    to buy or not to buy?!

    Surely PSWPower who ship from Germany will be paying VAT applicable in Germany (16%) on every sale regardless of where it is exported to within the EU ?

    More TSDZ2 woes!

    Am currently considering another mid drive to replace my knackered Yosepower Rear Hub motor on my MTB (already have a year old 2000 mile trouble free BBS01 on my hybrid) and was thinking about a TSDZ2, but after reading some recent threads on reliability and other issues, I might just buy...

    Paintwork protection ?

    I use MUD. Once applied it forms a protective coating, which improves over the course of the winter . Come springtime I just remove with water and hey presto! lovely paintwork and no rust

    Conversions and the law

    It's back down to 21.229% now as BigJohn72 overheated and blew up his Yose350W while giving his mate a backkie on the way to the pub this afternoon. He's slung it in the neighbours skip in a fit of rage, and was last seen heading for Halfords apparently mumbling about going legit with a Carrera...
