    Dodgy Ebay Listing

    Email and he will do a deal if you pay by bank transfer as he would with all email replies. After all 3 lots of £500 is not a bad profit for two hours of scam work

    Bike of the future.

    Comfort is important for all day riding. Have you looked at twinkles electic trikes? Search the site? They have recumbent comfort, stability for slow uphill. You could also convert your own( or ebay bargin)

    Also looking to commute in London - different parameters

    Thoughts. Same requirements effectively. Slightly less weight than me for an inch taller. Price aware The Ktm dealer offer should be tempting. A quality bike will still be worth something after a few years. All ebikes lose value at a ridiculous rate? Secondhand? Comments. Same as previous any...

    Need an e bike for commuting in London

    Electric bikes can eliminate the need to shower but? If you're doing 15 miles and in a hurry your likely to be working and build up a sweat. The plus side is no need for Jim membership and improved fitness.

    Need an e bike for commuting in London

    The average speed will be less than 15 mph as traffic lights and traffic will slow and stop you. On the flat you should cruse at 15 ish. But unlikely to be much higher from your statements. A good bike will help. A hub geared bike is good for city cycling. The whoosh is cheap and can do the...

    The Ultimate Road E-Bike

    A nocom is about the fastest commercial recumbent. The VK3 is a nice blend of performance and practicality (bit of hight and suspension). Oh I suppose a rohloff hub would add to the weight but improve reliability and usability too. If fitted with a crank drive. On the flat it would cruse at +20...

    What should i buy? Trike/eped/allseasons emotor/ e scooter moped..

    Trex Ignore the 59 kg as its a tandem so 60kg limit (if my memory is correct) The motor is classed as 250watt. It will peak at well above that. Not my choice of bike at all. An electric recumbent would be mine. A possibility for the op?

    Dropbar Road Bike Conversions

    Flat bar is comfortable and used by the less dedicated cyclists. Hard core lycra cyclists are faster than a legal e-bike over any real distance. There was the BH race but that didn't sell particularly well against cheaper ebikes. ( I had two and loved them) Note I can average 15 mph on my bent...

    one e bike not to buy !!!

    As a suggestion a leather cap might be a good start. Perhaps a marinade of soy and vinegar, to make an adobo Slow cooking to tenderise. Then enjoy.

    Some Random Thoughts On bicycle Design.

    Recumbents are more comfortable faster and potentially safer. What they are not is the recognised form for a bike. Like catamarans are faster lighter than mono hulls they are not approved of and actively discouraged. Racing for both is relatively new, a fringe activity. A bent with fairing...

    3 maybe 4 to choose from, experiences and thoughts ?

    Balancing Eddie I have had two BH race Panasonic drives. Sold the 24volt to upgrade to 36 volt system. Both were great for me. Second one Unfortunately destroyed by 4*4. Used motor to rebuild a Kalhoff pro. Good bike and reliable with 8 speed hub. Wife has BH Neo. The display can give errors...

    What speed could a 250 watt motor go?

    I would also have a high wattage. As it takes more to move a more ample gentleman than a racing snake.

    Running bike light off 36V Bosch battery

    17 watts implies a bulb light And is a half amp drain much better to go led and keep your battery power for movement. Replacement led bulbs are around £12. That could fit into most lights..

    Scooter / Moped style. Legal?

    The weight limit of 40 kg should put it into the illegal class.

    Case studies - how has your electric bike changed your life?

    No serious cycling for years. Got a Chinese bike and saw the potential but returned it as it was crap. Moved onto second hand BH with Panasonic motors. My cycling went up and up. Realy began to enjoy the bike and did all the steep hills. Then hit by a car. Broke my arm badly at the wrist. Had...

    Hello enlightened ones...

    I love mine. Stopping in the wet is no longer squeeze and pray. Put almost a thousand miles on the bike in six months and no adjustments required. So 5* review. Cable could also be good but I have gone from rim brakes where you get really scared to hydraulic disk and I don't get so frightened...
