A look at D8veh's statement it won by inches or a few feet. All the bikes in the race were really good. There is little to chose between them. Just looks, components, battery size and price. For £1600 it would be hard to get a rubbish bike and easy to get a stonker. Which one would not have been...

Some nice bikes excellent weather. And a crank drive that would beat D8vehs two speed. Mind you that's a nice bike for a fiver.

Or upgrade to lithium batteries. More range and power for a price

Given the 20 ish mpg of the bongo, we sold up and got a trailer tent. The fuel saving and road tax pays for a cheaper car. Other than that welcome any bike will do but as it is easy on a normal bike to do 2 1/2 miles. Remember to test the electric on no power.

Why down hill? A flat section easy to get to 15.5 Suddenly gets harder about 16mph it's restricted(can still be over power etc)

Spikey The speed will depend on your input but the biggest difference will be the range. A higher powered motor will increase the speed and hence energy wasted in wind resistance. To get max range slow down a little and your energy costs will fall rapidly. The hill climbing bit will be quite a...

Glad you like it nice bike and appreciate the help it gives.

I have to disagree with KudosDave here. The sclass is not ideal for the speed freaks. 350watts is for wooses if it isn't KW and uphill @30 with no pedalling it's not cool. I'm with the dull folks on the subject. Get a moped for this. a bike is classed as a bike only if restricted to .... We...

See you there

Is it about time this thread is locked? The illegality is clearly stated. The contempt of the law is clear even if shared. The hyperbole is hyper.

Where is it in Brixton not long in the Hebrides until it rusts away(3months)

Do we agree the law is an ass? Court cases are gambles. Cars cause serious injuries to cyclists. Compensation is hard to get. Mopeds are legal. If you want to take a chance you could lose a lot. So be careful and discrete. Your statements here could be used against you. The police could hunt...

The brake cut out can also cause this.

The posters have said. Here is the law. Quotes particular sections. If you break the law you are committing an (multiple)offence's. You can then suffer consequences. Prosecution or not claiming damages. It's been pointed out if you want a moped, buy one. The law is an ass but it is the law...

If I ask for the good looking one they will just have to hold up a mirror

Mo, It's not overkill but cost performance style choice. Why the electric bike both should speed an average person to work. Do you want to sweat and improve fitness or need a easy return home when tired/ ill? You need to test ride the bikes but they look cheap compared to uk price.

D8ve how will I find you? Or is it easier to spot me and family. One blue recumbent and wife on BH City, plus child on a little black bike

Emma,s build is a good way ahead. And most of it is simple(compared to rocket science). I stand corrected on the cornering issue.

Two wheeled recumbents are fine with good weight capacity. The trikes are good for learning but heavier and slower on corners? 5 months on a bent now and I am doing 25kph on the flat in a relaxed cruse mode. The run to Lomond side should be easy perhaps head wind but really flat. Only the rest...

It's a special badge, the brown shorts of speed. Only given to those who push the boundaries beyond their comfort zone.
