can the units on those models with displays be changed between UK and Euro units (miles/km) (like most Japanese cycle computers) for those who decide to travel between the UK and EU or other fully metric countries?

I used to be a project engineer in the TV industry and for reliability I'd choose Panasonic over Sony all the time. Sony claimed to have the features and but rarely delivered them in a way that would integrate nicely with other equipment - nor was the kit reliable, and customer service across...

I agree with the advice to get test rides and use a LBS if at all possible, but it does depend a lot on where real_ale is based... for instance many EA bike shops do now sell e-bikes but Powabykes and other models aimed at the older generation, cheaper models such as Izip, and pricier but less...

Depending how the controllers work it could be added as an aftermarket feature by varying the input control voltage - I suspect the reality is that the controllers are made in bulk for a ruthlessly competitive market and any extra component count inside the box and subsequent rise in price could...

When I told my Scottish friends about the bikes one lass knew the town where they used to be based in as she lived in the area. Alien have definitely expanded and moved into bigger premises. Was a few months ago, they wanted to buy bikes too (as they could get the bikes and support their...

Most modern adult push bikes and e-bikes based on them have 9/16" threads these days. its mostly BMXs and some very old designs of adult bikes with the 1/2" threads...

I ride from Ipswich to my friends house at the Norfolk/Suffolk border area and would agree that past Stowmarket (which is about 12 miles) the power drops off slightly (although there is plenty there by the time I've reached the journeys end at 26 miles).

I've seen the metpol ones but with different bikes. Suffolk tend to use the same pattern bicyles as the Met (like most of their kit including patrol cars, radios etc, I think they must have the same procurement teams). East of England Ambulance uses a lot of cycling paramedics in pedestrianised...

to be fair it does appear Wisper is a very lean company and unless you monitor here its hard to tell whether David is in the UK or in China or other foreign nations - I think they are getting to the stage where their support workload is increasing due to loads of new models being sold and they...

I don't know where Les lives but I think the issue is most likely what sense of urgency the LBS placed on getting the order delivered. if they are new to e-bikes and are already making the bulk of their profits from expensive racers and ther like they may not see it as the most urgent sale to...

are these COLP units rather than Metpol? City of London Police - index

FixMyStreet all the cyclists round here use it to report trash, duff street lamps and other problems. The Suffolk Councils react quite quickly, and you don't even have to give your name or wait in call centre queues..

a bunch of spares arrived today :) .. will be on the look out for better dimensioned spoke keys... Seen a "O" shaped one sold in a few places with 10-15 gauge. Anyone know what dimensions in mm these equate to?

have you tryed skype or phone calls? (be aware of +8 hour time difference). Easy enough to get cheap voip calls to China (1-4p a minute) these days. Dongguan Desheng Industrial Development Co

I've noticed the same phenomenon with normal push bikes, people get a MTB, a racer, a knackered old bike for riding to the pub in dodgy areas etc, then some folk also have specialist bikes like recumbents etc.. And many commuter cyclists keep at least two so you have one to ride when the other...

Wellgo LU 950 Alloy Flat Pedals Only £14.39

NL uses a combination of both strategies. busier areas do have more "segregation", although set out in a much better and equitable way, (with very sophisticated traffic signalling for both cars and cycles) and the "shared spaces" are more often found in "slower moving" towns. In fact we even...

yes, this happens on all e-bikes, due to the voltage drop under load. the Wuxing "traffic light" indicators on your handlebars aren't very accurate and should only be used as a rough guide, but the most accurate indication is when the bike is stationary.

was even planned to be tried in London, but did it happen? BBC NEWS | UK | England | London | Road users mingle in naked scheme

I am surprised though that London boroughs are using or are perceived to be such old signalling equipment and layouts, I thought their traffic light controllers have moved on from the days of motor driven cams moving microswitches! Here in Ipswich the busier crossings have been upgraded just as...
