You are absolutely right with what you say about Linux. It is well worth considering and I see that Mozilla support it with their browser and email software as do Google with Chrome. I have recently installed Linux on an old Laptop for my 80 year old mother to use mainly for email. I am very...

Watt are you trying to say?

I used lived in the village when I was a boy and used to ride up those hills on my Raleigh Scorpio and later my Raleigh Record. It doesn't seem that long ago, but sadly it is a long time ago.

I would be surprised if it was flecc. The countryside is quite pleasant in that area, but its not a tourist area and there is better countryside not far away. The village has links to D.H Lawrence but thats about all. The Raleigh distribution depot isn't far from where I saw the bikes, 3 to 4...

I have just driven through Cossall village on the outskirts of Nottingham and as I approached the village I saw a number of very bright rear lights in the distance. As I got closer, I saw that these lights were bright bicycle lights. Closer still and I noticed that all of the bikes were electric...

The countryside looks beautiful Steve. I'm very envious.

My 27" iMac is now 2 years old and it is still as fast and pleasant to use as the day it came out of the box. By contrast, a friend who purchased a Windows PC with similar quad core hardware a few weeks after I bought my Mac is now ready to take a hammer to it because it is so slow. He thought...

I will be joining you in the list of absentees from F1. I have followed the sport as a TV spectator for over 30 years but, it has been losing its appeal for at least the last 10 years and as you point out, the manufactured excitement of DRS, silly tyres and safety cars are bordering on the...

You are right but, the cars have become so reliant on aerodynamic grip, that the pit stop phases offer an opportunity to inject a bit of excitement into the race. DRS does offer a fudged solution to the aerodynamic grip issue, but not a very attractive one. The racing is often more exciting...

That is exactly what I do, in fact I might have got the idea from you if you have posted this tip before. The battery securing mechanism is a bit of a weak point. Not very solid and could do with a re-think by the Kalkhoff design team.

I have no hesitation in recommending these rear lights eddio. They are very well made and very bright. the set comes with battery and charger and works out to just under £40 delivered. You wouldn't want anything brighter than this. Pointed directly into the flow of traffic it would be...

You could weigh the battery when fully charged and then weigh it again when empty. Subtract the empty weight from the full weight, multiply the result by 0.4 and then add that figure to the empty weight. This will give you the weight of the battery when it is 40% full of electricity. C40...

If the rims will accept a wider valve stem, its worth changing the inner tubes to a type fitted with schrader valves. They are more widely used.

Has anyone considered using or investigated amber lights facing outwards from the side of the bike? A bit like running lights on a car.

Its a German company called Busch & Muller. They make the lights fitted to the pro Connect.

If that is the case, this light, as posted by forum member NRG seems to be a good option at a reasonable price. The newer Pro Connects are fitted with B+M LED lighting powered from the bike's battery. Unfortunately, they can't be retro-fitted to our older models. It's something to do with the...

Its always a gamble buying from a Spiv out to make a bit of extra cash with a container load of illegal electric bikes. From the feedback that I have read on here, you should have a happier time buying from Juicy Bikes.

Almost certainly not.

Lighting depends on whether you just want to be seen in lit urban areas, or if you want to see where you are going in totally unlit areas. I believe in as much light as possible regardless as to where I am. The current threads titles Lights has a few examples of powerful front lighting and the...

I have one of the early Pro Connects and both the front and rear lights are B+M filament bulb types. These aren't very good and tend to give a rather dim yellow front light and reasonable rear. If you are going to use it at night, I would invest in some decent additional lighting. I can't...
