"the Haibike" is certainly the marketing coup of the bike salesman's century(so far) and I guess it would be an ideal bike to help a shepherd or crofter to work each morning. Our local GP has bought a brand new £30000 range rover delux for the practice even though it neva snows here, eva. It...

Lovely looking bike that but seems a trifle heavy for a carbon fibre frame. I wonder which component upgrades offer the greatest weight saving- wheels maybe?

Not another bludi campervan, get rid of one and another looms up on the horizon! Eddey leave it to you in his estate d8vio?

Will look forward to your report SRS, especially on how it operates offroad and inmud. Dunno anything about mountain bikes but know I like mountain biking. Don't like the jingo and hip talk and merchandising part. 29" wheels make sense though and Bosch have really energised the rather...

Well done Alex it's been an epic build but well worth it I'm sure. Now all you have to do is write the review!:)

Well they are not exactly what you would call the thinking man's ebike are they? Clearly prettied up rip off designs based on pilfered blueprints of the tonaro bighit, the ebike as God originally intended. That said, wouldn't mind a go of one myself if you are in The Viscinity. A review would...

Hi Billie, you probably just as well getting a new container. The battery itself is probably just fine and is the expensive bit. A new container should only cost a tenner if you buy it in China, or get your shop to swap them. Is the frame connection melted also?

wow, those are really beautiful bikes and far more appropriate for ladies and tarmac trundlers than stupid ktm's and Haibikes. I would love a go of the bosch-nuvinci combination which now seems to feature on a number of new continental bikes, an emerging trend you recall I'm sure, that I...

Hi Willin, the picture of the hill may well be Ben Fionnlaidh, at 959m prob the biggest nearby. The Bidean is just to the north-east - the biggest mountain in Glencoe, and where four lives were lost in an avalanche last week. You probably did approach it from glen creran up thro Glenure. 83...

Think alot of people doing what your trying to do use big multipin sockets like the scart socket on your video. You prob havtobe handy at soldering and make sure the pins can cope with the current I'd of thought? Really neat but a loada bother!

"..the ebike is an evolving business -technology and styles are changing at such a rate that no particular type has been settled upon to allow volume production of that type and the components within." Come on Dave. You sell perfectly good bikes yourself - a half decent mountain bike with half...

Forestry roads are wide and easily rideable though big 2.3" tyres help. Just riding up thro endless spruce or larch plantations would be tedious were it not for the height these tracks often navigate and the views that can be seen. The plantations themselves are criss-crossed by lanes called...

The forestry road peters out at the top of the glen and we are well inland now, Glencoe three miles over the hill to the north, but from here on its by foot. They dont plant any higher than this, not even conifers will grow well above this-1500ft. The snow is mostly gone now but on the tops of...

At the end of the road up the glen I joined a forestry road and began a climb of 1000ft in 4miles. The forestry road is in great condition as harvesting operations are in full swing. It was tough going climbing ball the time but the motor running at 44v took it easily in it's stride in first...

Tis a dull, dricht, woeful sorta day up here in the wilderness of sunny Argyll so thought I would post on my cycling expedition to 'the lost glen', possibly the first time ever man has reached these remote summits by bicycle (er, well, didn't see any other tire tracks that is). This...

Yup I think it probably reasonable to expect 30 miles from a 36v 10ah battery and at 26v you might count on 20miles at least, full power, full tilt. The two 24v hubs Ive tried seemed very wishy washy to me and would gain alot by swapping a 36v battery instead.

Mine is about 37 inches, that is off the ground - top o the saddle but includes big 2.3" tyres and the rear shock jacked up a bit more. It's quite a big bike and on the heavy side too. I'm only 5'9" with short stumpy 31" legs but the bike will fit most people with relatively normal legs perhaps...

And oddly enough a 48v 10ah battery might only give you a 24 mile range.

Och, up here in sunny Argyll the english immigration problem has yet to reach crisis proportions and they are generally treated with kindness and understanding as befits their "refugee" status. Most seem to be old and jobless but well enough off presumeably due to the treasure they have looted...
