    Fat Bike

    I borrowed a fat bike for half an hour..the tyres absorbed more bumps etc than any suspension could..they take out different frequency to suspension..actually preferred it on marbles/ biggish stones but ( and its a massive but) the moment it went over limit it felt like brakes were on. Also...

    Winnats Pass.

    Nice one.. I should be 95 kg rather than 105 but to be fair have lost a few pounds since getting ebike...At this rate should be target weight when bikes done about 100 k miles.. Take care. Got to Lady Bower for 7.30 this morning..beautiful but cold..Picture from Lockerbrook Farm..

    Winnats Pass.

    I was going to say that..my 3 rides up Winnats were very similar speed wise.( 8mph and 10mph I think) Air drag increases to square of speed so 40% faster will have way more drag...but I,m running fat tyres with 40psi and I weigh 105kg.. ?? Would be interesting for you to do ride on my bike...see...

    News: My Haibike electric bike: making the impossible possible

    Great post and feature. I,ve been genuinely shocked how capable Haibike is.. No matter how good or bad you are at mountain biking it has lots to offer. Reckon everybody could do almost double they normally could... Brilliant leveller too. Wife and I stay together comfortably on rides using...

    Haibike or lapierre

    I,ve just done 300 miles on Haibike Sduro Hardseven ...Couldn't recommend it high enough. Today been round Lady Bower with 2 additional big climbs .( Lockerdown farm, ) Round trip of 24 miles..still had 24% in battery. Climbs anywhere I could ride it. Might go for full suspension next time...

    Winnats Pass.

    ??? Afraid I ain't subtle so I must be innocent??. Think we settled discussion quite a while ago, generally hub will climb faster than crank drive on road but will use more current doing so... Reckon Artsu is using a 500w hub motor ??? I was using approx 50wh to do climb, Artsu approx 60 ??

    Bultaco Brinco

    I had a very quick go on Brinco , loved it but nearer a light enduri/ trials bike than a pedelec.. Really impressive tho.. Not really fair to compare with Haibike but I do know what you mean... Its great following tracks in Derbyshire I know full well I,d be arrested for using trials bike on ...

    Failed on my first big hill

    Anybody had yam and Bosch..tried both, could tell difference( just).. The Bosch unit on Raleigh Motus ( borrowed) is not as powerful as Bosch on wife's bike...which apart from starting 180(?) degrees later than my yam is very similar.( mine has much lower bottom 3 gears and slightly higher top)...
