Thanks for posting this information. I found it interesting.

Care to expand?

What we must remember here is that some forum members have parted with a considerable sum of money in good faith. Many thought that they were buying a road legal Ebike and they were basing their purchase decision on information provided on most of the seller's websites. I certainly know that 50...

That's a good point. The first time I watched the clip, my attention was focused on the car emerging from the junction and I didn't notice the car which ultimately turned across his path.

No, legal electrically assisted bicycles are classed as bicycles when applying the law to their use. I would think that if you stepped outside of the legal definition of a legal electrically assisted bicycle, it would be viewed as being a mechanically propelled vehicle in any prosecution. This...

That road looked treacherous and there were a number of times when I thought I'd reached the point where the accident was going to happen. I also thought the cyclist was going too fast for the traffic conditions, especially on the approach to the accident scene. The car emerging from the left...

That's the premium we pay for living on Treasure Island.

These are the figures, as I understood them, for the Alfine 8 speed. The Agattu has the Nexus 7 speed, do the same figures apply?

Hi Mogman I live in Derbyshire. The bike is provisionally sold, but thanks for looking in.

It's a nice looking motor unit. As always, these things need to prove themselves whilst in the hands of the consumer. A welcome addition though.

Well done. That's a very good back up service you have received.

For sale is my 2008 Kalkhoff Agattu. Background: I bought this bike from forum member Gringo on 26 March this year and he originally purchased it new in April 2008 from 50 Cycles. Gringo has told me that it had done about 900 miles when I bought it and I have cycled a further 100 miles since...

You must buy a 26 Volt battery if that is what you are replacing. A 36 Volt won't fit or work. The 26 Volt batteries are available in a variety of capacities from 8Ah to 24Ah.

All of the Panasonic 26 Volt batteries intended for the crank drive motor will fit. That includes the batteries from the likes of BMZ as well.

I think one forum member tried this and reported that he couldn't hear anything because the voices inside his head were louder than the speaker output. Two men, armed with a large butterfly net, arrived at his house in an anonymous white panel van and took him away. The last I heard, he was...

Thanks for reporting your incident and your thoughts. It has certainly made me think about a stretch of road that I use (a long down hill 30 MPH easily) which has cars parked nose to nose on both sides, hence poor visibility onto the pavements. Perhaps we should have a Crash forum for reporting...

I think the Impulse batteries have the sleep function. Forum member DavidW reported that his Impulse battery was, "dead". He hadn't used or charged it for a couple of weeks or so. I asked him to try putting it on charge because I knew that was how to get the Panasonic battery out of sleep...

You are right of course, dog owners do have a responsibility to keep them under control and there are laws to enforce this. We could have even more laws with even harsher penalties as well, but I don't believe that would make cyclists any safer or any less susceptible to incidents such as the...

Should an evaluation have been carried out regarding the safety of the skies in that region of the world? This is a classic chain of events leading to a catastrophe. Intended route passes through area of conflict >>> evaluation of situation >>> weaponry available >>> likelihood of attack >>>...
