We're going to Derbyshire soon to stay in a glamping pod next to the Tissington trail. The wife's got a Huwei android tablet and we'd like to use it's GPS to navigate around the area/see where we are. There's no 'phone connection on it and we'll be away from WiFi. So can I get maps, or an App...

Well there you go! It was only a couple of days ago that I was advocating for bikes on the NHS. I have thought of trying to get my local GP surgery to start an e-bike taster/riding club, but I wouldn't know where to start. This has to be good for an ageing, overweight, sedentary population.

Wow - serious metal, that's not gonna move.:cool:

Is that a gardening firm, can I get my fruit bushes from them?

Yup, I'll have to give the Ezee a run on it's own and see what the local hills do to it. Kinda want a new battery but I think I have a shot of Yorkshire genetic ( that's like a scottish one but with the warm streak of generosity removed :D).

So, a year on and the system works well. However the Ezee battery (that I suspect is pouch cells) now only charges up to 41.1v. Seems to hold the charge fine. So I'm wondering, at what stage do you call it a day with a battery? Couldn't say what it's range is now because I've been using it...

I've had a few modern/new tring tring bells and they've all failed through either the mechanics jamming, or the fact that it only rings when the case is rotated to one particular place. Otherwise you just get a sort of dull thud with no volume. So you get it set just right, then the next time...

I use a Pashley Ding Dong bell. Doesn't always work but it's just such a pleasant, friendly sound, always raises a smile. EXCUSE MEE is always a back up but even that doesn't get through to the numpties with headphones.

Yes, you definitely want a cadence sensing bike (also known as p.a.s.) This gives you power by sensing the rotation of the peddles and giving you the power level set on the handlebar control. If/when you get tired you can merely rotate the peddles and get power to get you home. Of course, the...

I think he means caliper!

Well the title question sort of lead me to the assumption, wrongly it would seem. I only use mine for hill starts so not very often 'cause I don't stop on the hills round here, they're too bloody steep!;)

So, the cycle infrastructure suffers for an up front capital saving ignoring the ongoing projected benefits - typical. It amazes me how these benefit per pound figures appear. Worked out by consultants (costing a fortune) then totally ignored on some political expediency or other. Then, when...

Plenty of help to be had here. What's your poison? On or of road. Commuting or leisure. Hilly of flat. So many questions - so little time between rides! Welcome.

Oh, a router, I thought you meant a Laura!

Wow, a cnc router. Now I really fancy her!:rolleyes:

Let's think about this. If you are using pas you are peddelling, putting at least some power into the equation. If you are using throttle only and not peddelling, then you are putting nothing in. Therefore, not only will you go slower so using the battery for more time over a given distance...

Garden shed engineering. I love it. :D

What's this AK, I thought european bike didn't have/need throttles? o_O;)

When you say' feels big' how does this present itself to you? Reach too far, saddle too high, cross bar too high?

I'd think about converting the Trek. You will get a nice rear wheel hub with a good size battery for well less than a grand. If you buy a kit (have a look at Woosh for a start) it will be plug and play. Buying individual components can tailor the kit more for you, but you run the risk of...
