    Ezee Liv 3 flashes on LED error

    OK, he should have bought a Wisper. They are, without doubt, the best ebike currently available to mankind. I doubt if anything will ever exceed them......... Now can we give it a rest?

    Shimano Alfine option

    I have to agree, some of the comments made by Chief Ezee have initially made me cringe upon first reading and do seem alien to our way of expressing ourselves. However, he's from a different country with a different culture. I suppose to him, the style in which he writes is absolutely normal...

    Shimano Alfine option

    I don't know what is boring about these Ezee bikes. From what I read here, they sound quite innovative and have some good quality components fitted. Personally, I like to read about other brands. I like the Panasonic system and haven't really contemplated a hub motor bike, but I am open...

    Is This A Wisper or A Forgery?

    I don't know if it's a fake, I'm not clever enough to tell. However, the fact that there us no battery charger makes it whiff a bit.

    Freego Eagle (2009 model) has arrived

    I'm pleased to hear you are enjoying the bike. It's an interesting bike with that big battery, 2 year warranty, reasonable purchase price and very reasonable battery replacement cost. Keep us informed as to how it performs over the coming months.

    Kalkhoff Tasman - A Few Notes

    The fact that the key won't come out of the lock when ulocked means that you will never leave home without the key. Accidentaly leaving the key at home would be a real problem if you arrived at you destination and then snapped the lock on! It is a good well thought out fail safe design feature.

    Panasonic battery problem - anyone had anything similar?

    My battery drops from 2 lights on the handlebars to 1 flashing light over about 1 mile. The capacity check shows 4 lights. I have tried performing conditioning discharges, but this only give a very tempoary improvement, with the battery quickly falling back to 4 capacity lights. This...

    Kalkhoff Agattu or Pro Connect

    You should have yourself a good bike there, at a competitive price. Are you currently using a 16T sprocket on your Giant? The only reason I ask is because I found it a bit too highly geared. 18T or 19T seems perfect, but then again it's all personal choice.

    Aldi Cycle Clothing

    Aldi are stocking cycling clothing again from Thursday 6 May. It has usually proven to be quite good quality gear. (If anyone is thinking of buying the Triathlon suit, my courgettes will be ready in a few weeks time. Let me know if you would like me to send one on to you.)

    A reminder to look after your chain

    This is the method that I have decided to adopt. I do clean the chain every now and again with kerosine and an blast it with compressed air which seems to dry it and blow out all of the dirt. I usually use Halfords chain wax to lubricate it. As far as changing the component parts, I like...

    Battery Guarantees

    I think there is an element of us all being, " conditioned" to paying these prices. If they could get away with it, a manufacturer would happily see you pay £1000+ for your battery. You are right, a box of chemicals can only cost so much and as the battery in atob illustrates, big batteries...

    Battery Guarantees

    I have just seen the enormous 650 Wh battery from the FreeGo Eagle in atob magazine. A two year guarantee and a replacement cost of only £250 makes it very eye-catching indeed. I suppose that the level of confidence in the guarantee being honoured is directly proportional any confidence that...

    Pro Connect – Suspension forks and Tubus Swing front carrier with panniers

    Fecn, do you think the battery charge status works on voltage alone? I am at a bit of a loss to know where I am with regards to the state of my battery in terms of its capacity. I tend to just ride the bike and forget about the lights to be honest, but after the winter months, I notice that...

    Pro Connect – Suspension forks and Tubus Swing front carrier with panniers

    Thanks for taking the time to tell us about this James. It's useful information to have available and it's always interesting to see what other owners have done to their bikes. Did you source the forks from 50c

    Schwinn Premise

    My sister-in-law ended up buying a Trek Navigator with the Bionx system already fitted to it by one of their distributers. She chose this over the Schwinn. Here are some pictures she emailed to me. As she lives in Newfoundland, I don't think I will be having a go anytime soon...

    Raleigh Panasonic Bikes

    Thanks for the update Lloyd. A trained national dealer network can only be a good thing and the continued expansion in the use of the Panasonic system gives confidence that it will be supported into the future. I will indeed keep a look out for you. Are you based along side the A610? I ride...

    Battery Guarantees

    I think that the Panasonic battery does include something like this. I remember being told when I exchanged one of my batteries that it would be sent back to Derby Cycles where they could look at the usage profile to see if there had been any abuse / abnormal use taking place. Whilst ever the...

    2 Year, 8000 mile Review of Kalkhoff Pro-Connect

    Do you find that you can still taste the white spirit when you come to clean your teeth? Or do you use the wife's toothbrush?

    Raleigh Panasonic Bikes

    A few day ago, purely by chance, I happened to meet someone from Raleigh UK product support. He told me that Raleigh UK will be distributing and supporting a range of Panasonic powered bikes in the near future. All will be branded as Raleigh, but imported from Germany. I didn't get chance to...
