Have you investigated the Keyde? I have a Cube Peloton and was toying with a lightweight conversion for it.

19kgs is light for an e bike. My Kalkhoff Nexus 8, with a rack and mudguards and lights, weighs in at 25Kgs with a 17ah battery and hydraulic brakes. I think the Raptor is 24V 200W so low powered, fixed wheel, and with a tiny battery.

If it was me I would buy a Big Bear from Woosh and try it. As long you are very careful with it and only go a very short distance in the dry, and it can be sent back in the same condition it arrived in you will get your money back if you don’t like it. I believe trex wrote that they will give...

Wonder what happened there? The bike looks okay as far as you can tell from the picture, except maybe the back mudguard is slightly distorted. It looks like perhaps the bus ran into the back of him and collected him on the lower corner of the windscreen. I can’t see if there is a mirror on the...

It looks like a standard Dutch style motor which are not very powerful. The battery is not very big either and won’t get all that far in the real world using high power. The two mentioned above have the most powerful hub motors and will get you up almost any hill. If you search for reviews there...

You have to realise that with a speed sensor bike you will not be pedalling very hard. You just have to turn over the cranks to get full power. The Big Bear and Ezee mentioned above are much more powerful than small hub motors and will do almost all the work while you just pedal without effort...

I was replying to you where you were surprised to see that a cycle helmet had broken. You went on to say that you were told that it cost £70 but you thought it looked no better than a £6 one. But I pointed out that it was designed to break. Are you with me now?

Actually as long as you think ahead a little bit it really isn’t a problem. Just change down in good time on hills and let the motor stop, or stop it by just touching a brake lever to activate the cut out before changing gear. It becomes second nature very quickly. The motor load added to your...

Not sure what you mean there. On my last motorcycle I was using a quite expensive Bell full face. But it was still only good enough to protect up to a 15 mph full on impact at that time. Much more in a glancing blow of course which most impacts are. Motor sport helmets are made to higher...

There is the Bristol Park Street hill climb which KTM has also competed in….

A crew of attractive young women I expect. Like Errol Flynn was reputed to have in his last year cruising the Med in his schooner Zaca.

"Smart eBiker, post: 283397, member: 14967" There seems to be a mafia type mentality on here that is doing no good for the industry, it should not matter what bike you have or want, everyone is different, so don't go slagging people off, if it was my forum you would be long gone! If if was your...

I do.

A much better bike all round. Much more powerful and Cube is a good German make which uses good quality components. Pedelecs are advancing technically all time and have moved on a fair way in just the last few years since the Smart bike first came out. Kalkhoff for instance has gone through...

They are fairly laid back and only get involved when there is some really heated stuff going on. Which is as it should be since we are all grown ups. Having said that I have seen some astonishingly rude personal invective on this site. Posts which would have got a member banned immediately on...

In his case I think it’s more a question of a full bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy.

Not quite sure what you mean by this flecc. Do you mean that in your view our democratic model should be changed and perhaps made more local and accountable? Or do you mean you would like to scrap democracy in favour of some more top down authoritarian model?

You ever heard of the psychological term projection? I did not read one bitchy post directed at you from anyone. But I did read a lot of nasty posts from you directed at others just because they dared to say that your choice of bike was maybe, not as superior and cutting edge as you thought it...

Well you clearly have only ever ridden one e bike and this Smart is it. So when you come onto a forum where people have ridden many and know the differences between them, and start saying you have bought the best there is it’s going to make members point out some home truths. Then all the crap...

There is a UN charter for refugees which has been in place since the war but it is widely ignored. Most of the people currently trying to get into Europe through the Balkans are from war zones and the vast majority currently from Syria. So how exactly do you define an economic migrant in these...
