    Help & Advice Please.

    It also risks the entire ebike range being put into motorbike classification... When someone is hurt or when police decide to stop turning a blind eye chances are we,ll all suffer...even legal pedelecs.

    Which fat bike?

    I tried fat six last weekend.. Very impressive. If I was changing I,d get one of those. (hard tail, think 4inch tyres sort of make suspension redundi). Not tried others. Cant fault Haibikes..brilliant.

    Best Ebike mileage.....on ONE battery charge

    Afraid my best is a lowly 28 miles ( Haibike sduro 27.5/ 400wh)(All in high setting) It did include 4 big climbs around Sheffield Reservoirs ( one a dead end), lots of boulder strewn paths and one long slog through rutted peat bog...so I was very impressed it stayed course.( Had a bit left in...

    Reliable commuter machine + Sheffield Hills

    I don't think aa bloke winning a road race on a particular bike says anything about wether bike is suitable for a poster. Just like the link below does not either. Cant load video from phone but google it..( Bloke riding up a 38 degree slope doesn't mean anybody could) Lets face it , a...

    Reliable commuter machine + Sheffield Hills

    Hi Frazer I,ve got exactly same bike on loan, they are great. Don't think your route is that difficult for most ebikes and to be fair not many are going to be any better than the motus. I do think my Haibike climbs slightly better and certainly has more range ( which doesn't make sense apart...

    Thinking about buying a burley trailer for Bosch ebike

    I tow a kids trailer with an all up weight of about 25kg , use a Raleigh Motus with Bosch cd.. It copes easy. I was surprised how little difference trailer made to battery usage on its longest outing. Wife and I did Tissington trail ( or part of it) covering about 22 miles. I was down to 30% ...

    Hill climbing with throttle kalkhoff alternative

    What I find amazing is the fact that d8veh does not realise folk responding to his patronising arrogant posts use far more restraint in their responses than he can even muster in his original insults. If folk responded with similar lack of control place would be littered with foul mouthed...

    Hill climbing with throttle kalkhoff alternative

    You are arguing pedantics now D8...what I quoted poster as saying is slightly different to what he actually said ( I actually still agree with him) but either way what ever he states ( and it was obviously an opinion) gives nobody the right to say he,s talking bolux, especially on a forum let...

    anyone own or ridden these 3 ebikes?

    I have a Haibike sduro hardseven. Few minor niggles but overall bike highly rated. Tyres have worn very quickly,front brake had bad vibration, which seems to have cleared..charging plug a bit fiddly . Only done 300 miles on it but so far absolutely no problems. Climbs fantastic. ( borrowed a...

    Hill climbing with throttle kalkhoff alternative

    Yes I do realise he is knowledgeable, I,ve never said otherwise and no doubt he has helped posters but none of that makes it ok to decide some poster is talking bolux ( posters claim was merely the Bosch CD system was very natural / intuitive in its use) Yes, fine by all means say hang on a...
