    When we dont need no ro.. err, bike lanes.. I'm just off down the pub

    Ideas please.

    I appreciate the difficulty of squeezing wheel, chainstay and chainwheel into the same space. Esp on a fat bike, (nice bike btw, shiny motor, want one now, no, no more bikes Mikel)! Wondered why designers dont all just take the high, up & over chainstay approach? Could Cadence power assist be...

    Does this bike exist...

    Nice. Do they come in 50cc version? (Don't have bike license, and d cost of insurance here, ouch!). Is there a pic showing where d shopping goes? (Most don't even have room for 1 helmet, never mind 2). 'Frey CC' is step-thru, full sus, electric, going on 3k£, only 1 guy on FB (Adrenaline...

    TSDZ2 48v 750w on Order!

    Read about several case types, Shark, Whale, Dolphin, maybe Hailong is another sea creature, but only 367mm long :D . The misspelling may be due to translation software, do get some odd typos. I'm looking at that battery on Amazon.co.uk and the description says "Battery included: No"! Tho I've...

    Where to buy TSDZ2 - and have i got the right items on my list.

    Hi, I'm about to buy the 36v version coz only it has the Coaster Brake function (for coaster brake back wheel I've already ordered. Am I making a big mistake? (I see Woosh have gone 48v and figure there's a reason). The XH18 display appears to have only 2 buttons, power and info, so how does...

    Mid Drive Pashley Sovereign TSDZ2

    This is a real inspiration to me in seeking to convert a Raleigh DL-1. I particularly like the fit of the chain case, looks factory made. And grinding the chain wheel off the original crank to reuse it, great, all that chrome! :p

    Older chap thinking about moving to Pedelecs

    I like the tidy idea of mounting the HL battery side-saddle, as it were. I expect you wanted to keep your existing top box. Did the zip ties hold up? :)

    Kona rebirth

    Welcome, I like the tidy battery adaptation. Is that a home made bracket to turn a top-loading bottle battery into a side-loading type? That would be a useful trick for any bike with a small triangle! :cool: I'm thinking of a Tongsheng too, and need a clever way of fitting a battery to a...

    IMiro x-folding bike

    Didn't find iMiro with a search & apologies if it's been posted already. :) 'Sivrac' bike is a little x-scissor folder and seems simpler than the Xtracycle/Mobiky/SMLRO's. Has a couple of interesting features. They've let the x-fold come to rest down on a spring to give it basic suspension...

    No Suspension

    Haha, careful when talking about weight, some of us are built for comfort, not speed! :D A suspension seat post is a big help (e.g. Suntour ncx). Just wish there was an equally cheap and cheerful fix for the front end. Fatter tyres help, check max size the frame, rim & mudguard can take and run...

    Nano-Septic Handlebars

    "The scooters are also equipped with nano-septic handlebar wraps, that the company said reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission by 99.98%." Is this even a thing? I know silver is anti-bacterial but...

    Frey AM1000 Bafang Ultra GS510.1000 eBike Regrease

    No delivery from ebikebatteries at d mo either. (Is anyone delivering?) "Collection Only" it says I like the Frey CC. Step-thru full sus, cool, like an RM Delitte? :cool:

    Possibly the worst cycle accessory i have seen this year

    Are they self-cancelling? Otherwise I'm not interested! Haha, like old car semaphore indicators maybe? :cool: --*

    Extending arm to reduce chance of been hit by overtaking car

    If the arm hinged backwards with a weak spring, then when u speed up the wind makes it swing out. When u slow, threading thru traffic, the spring pulls it in. Result! :)

    Extending arm to reduce chance of been hit by overtaking car

    Had a close pass by a truck on highway the other day. I was stuck passing through a roadworks pinch point and he didn't seem to fancy slowing down. Hohum. Might have to wobble with one of these yokes on me bike an a blond wig hanging from helmet. Ha! :-)

    The development of the brand new 2020 Wispers... in Pictures!

    The 'Champagne' is a nice colour, cheerful & sophisticated. Step-thru is more handy, esp with a two leg stand, is there a Pletscher mounting? Mid drive is neat.. Is the front rack mounting generic, or new Wisper pattern? Like the stealthy rear rack, weight capacity? 43Volts, is that a 12series...

    Amphibious E-Tricycle Camper

    "Shall I get a boat or a bike or a camper this summer? Why not have all 3!" ;). It's a bit clumsy looking but at least you'll know it keeps the water out. Would've pivoted the *waterproof * motor wheels up inline, like wheels on a grass mower, (and the front). Sliding them inside is awkward and...

    Interesting holiday idea?

    Got to be an April 1st joke story right? If link works it's called a Z-Triton. 3wheel Amphibious Caravan. :cool:

    Grant Shapps to the rescue. Eh? £2bn for bike commuting. Parisians queueing out the doors of secondhand bike shops for 2wheel transport. Rome gets 150km of bike lanes now. Ireland Dublin City Council has moved to install more segregated cycle lanes, as the Covid19 lock-down period continues...
