Apologies for all these questions, but getting my e-bike has made me even more motivated to go exploring :) I've seen a few of you post maps with a gradient / contour profile on them. I can remember how to do this manually from high school (many years ago though now!) but these seems to be...

Consider this scenario: I am planning a 26-27 mile run, although my bikes battery is supposed to be able to handle it, its near the limit of its range. Enroute (about 7 miles into the journey), I have access to a building with a 230v mains supply. But I don't want to delay my journey by more...

don't forget the rack, these are big selling points to commuters! perhaps 720cycles should employ Bob as a freelance engineer to oversee a "commuter" version with a decent rack/mudguards?

this is what made me decide to buy the Powacycle Salisbury (despite it being more modestly powered) - a combination of available funds, actual availability of machines and reading the reviews on here - it seems to have got a reputation as a reliable if slower workhorse - but I am still...

looks like a strong contender against the Wisper 905SE City.. I would rather sacrifice speed for range - mind you I have moved away from city areas like London and Reading to a place where some people have stickers in their cars saying "Don't rush me, I'm from Suffolk" :D

I didn't realise so few new units were being sold! I think it is rather like the situation with computers in the 1980s, early adopters are having to pay a premium price and also act as (unpaid!) product testers. (I can see why people perceive that the e-bikes are expensive as there seem to be a...

many thanks :) - I'm going to ride to relatives for Christmas but might also do a long ride on Boxing day to try and condition the battery a bit better.. Was going to visit a friend in a more distant village but he's just recovering from a nasty lurgi I don't want as a Xmas present so will just...

on the Powacycle Salisbury, I've so far used the battery once to the point where it started "running out of fuel" (i.e motor stopping and starting) after what I think is >33 miles (over two days). Should I give this battery another long "conditioning" cycle or is one of these enough. my daily...

I was gonna reply to the "bike of the year" thread but I'm a newbie to e-bikes and TBH couldn't think of a particular 2008 model I really wanted to vote for.. so I decided to start a new thread, what developments in ebikes and the industry would you all like to see in the future? In my case...

You must be going on some really long runs, as I usually get at least 12 hours out of each charge on a set using 2xAA NIMH cells (I deliberately avoided the (expensive!) miniature units with their own internal batteries). Then again you are conducting what appear to be actual scientific tests...

the problem with these is that very often the sensor (usually fixed with cable ties) and magnet move away from each other as the sensor works loose... once the sensor is in position you can fix the whole thing with gaffer tape as well but it won't look pretty.... You can get various GPS...

can anyone suggest workstands that are capable of supporting the weight of an electric bicycle? was looking at something like this Revolution Tune Up Workstand (was £79.95) (£48.89) or this LifeLine Spin Doctor Deluxe Workstand Only £58.71 but not sure if they will handle the...
