although i've let my hardware skills get rusty I can immediately see how this poor contact on a high current connection is bound to go pear shaped.. TBH as much as I think the Salisbury/Windsor is a good bike and the Infineum is innovative I think they've missed their window to market and...

I've only had it since December but all good so far (over 1500 miles). I ride 13 miles each day (to work and back) before each charge, and 26 miles every 3 weeks or so to a friends house in Mid Suffolk. Contrary to popular misconception, EA is not flat and this area has a rising gradient past...

I think in this country you can anyway if you dress up like that teacher in the 1970s film "If" whilst singing "to be a pilgrim" :D

I own a Salisbury (although did consider a Mistral). From reading the reviews of the Mistral although it has more power and is similar in some respects, its range per charge appears to be a few miles less (20 or so miles whilst I can get 26 miles out of a Salisbury). Also from the pictures...

I've got some old cycling book somewhere from the early 60s (found in a charity shop) it mentions that magistrates (in the 1950s/60s) claimed that a bicycle with dropped handlebars was a "dangerous bike" as it encouraged the rider to "go fast" and thus was a contributory cause of accidents!

considering the problems other customers of bikes from other manufacturers in the same price range have had and the relative lack of timely response / resolution Wisper comes through as a clear winner - good to see a British company doing so well!

thankfully I don't see many hit and run RTCs but I do keep a cameraphone on me at all times - the newer ones (such as Sony Ericsson "cybershot" branded phones) certainly take good pics I tend to use mine more for taking pics of interesting buildings/architecture and random animals that I might...

What he is doing would requires a certain amount of skill and balance though - which is what the US based courses train (one such course is the IMPBA - international Police Mountain Biking Association) Actually he may be using a speaker mic or small hands free kit with the radio clipped to his...

I actually found the pic on the external drive I brought along when I moved from Reading to Ipswich (I did remember scanning it)

this was certainly the case in Britain in the 1940s/1950s. I one saw in a copy of a newspaper of that vintage a wonderful cartoon of a grinning "British Lion" carrying a carpenters tool bag on his way to the pub, with the caption "After a Good Day's Work For Britain - that's when BEER is best"...

Action bikes sell Izips and there may be a place in Copdock selling Powabykes..

I think its a bit of both (I've seen UK cops with the same type of "police" style cycling helmet) - from both other pics I've seen and the video of that incident it appears the cops are trained US-style and issued with MTB's rather than the traditional Dutch bike, and would be carrying out more...

this is my view on it - although I do think that helmets have their value in particular risk areas such as for small children who may attempt stunts, for competitive racers where winning sometimes takes precedence over safety, and by extension for cyclists of the Emergency Services (where they...

Maybe mart and his dog can be like UK audaxers who often give all their distances and speeds in metric, I once asked why they did this when all the signs are still in miles etc and although some said it was due to the Euro-origins of Audax, one guy was honest and pointed out that it also made...

I've now got visions of one of you lot pelting golf balls at bad drivers, and chavs in gary boy motors whilst eating profiteroles :D

Yep just within weight for a labradoodle / golden retriever cross or similar size breed... hopefully you can get the extra battery for a few more miles. I use Memory Map for route planning but you may prefer a proper OS map to go with the mechanical mileage counter (where on earth did...

yep could be, though its a shame neither the lady, the cops or the media could give an accurate description, although this is a common issue with all cycle thefts. if it is that model, the way it looks like a small scooter would unfortunately attract scrotes particularly in that area...

This was in todays news, unfortunately there are still too many people here what believe in the old fashioned honesty of days gone by and don't lock bikes in public areas or use low quality locks no idea what the model is but I've never seen a ladies e-bike with a red frame and it seems from...

rode into town on my normal bike (Raleigh pioneer Gents LX) and when I parked on the sheffield stands I was next to a brand new powabyke X-6 with a child carrier on the back! It does look like a converted Pioneer, TBH its not that bad looking although as I said before the small capacity battery...

Thinking laterally, is there no way (after speaking to the vet of course) of putting the dog on a diet? This assumes that by "fat" the animal is considerably overweight and it would make a difference in doing so - I expect if its just slightly overweight for its breed that may not do as well...
