I think forum member Jeremy summed it up nicely with this phrase: Of course, some of our friends on here are going to come back now and say, "what has pregnancy got to do with electric bikes." :(

It can be entertaining if you are shackled to the computer doing other things. A spot of light relief now and again is very welcome.

And of course all cars would also need to have a uniform, or not exceed a nominal power output. Some interesting points Leonard.

Me I am making the point that if you abuse the law, for example, Moto X bike doing 70 MPH on a green lane, then the authorities take notice and legislate against everyone, even the responsible riders. Everybody is disadvantaged. This has happened. It is real. Similarly, if illegal ebikes...

Cheers :) ......

As I thought, no facts to back up anything that you have said, so I can dismiss you. Thanks anyway, at least I have something to laugh at whilst I wade through a mountain of paperwork. ps when you are talking about yourself, i should be a capital I, thus.

The guy who is selling them seems to think that they are illegal. He says so. You even go on to contradict yourself by saying, "an eBike thats a few mph faster than a legal version." The implication being that they are illegal. I know, perhaps everyone is silly except you? "I dont think...

I know what you are saying, but: "The completely illegal hill climbing Aurora!" "I'm also pleased to say that the Aurora does not conform to UK or European regulations for electric bicycles." This is just plain irresponsible. I know the words go on to say that it is for off road use only...

This is very wise advice and even though the members of this forum only represent a small number of the UK electric bike owning public, it would be sensible if we heed it. I have just had a look at the website for the Alien Aurora and I can't believe what mindless fools these people are. They...

I have had this exact same problem. I have two chargers now, one works perfectly well and never fails, the other is exactly as you describe. On the hit and miss charger, I have tried fitting a new plug, cutting the plug off and re-making the ends of the leads, but it always behaves in this...

You can only rely on this type of alarm if you are close by. I tend to use mine in conjunction with an Axa wheel lock when calling in at a shop or other similar situation. They give you a bit of advance warning that someone may be trying to have your bike away, allowing you to intervene and stop...

Have I read this correctly. Are you using a 10 Ah LiFeo4 battery with a Panasonic drive? I'm just curious, as I haven't heard of anyone using anything but the proprietory battery with this system.

I think 50 Cycles sell a Panasonic powered Kalkhoff tricycle. Or at least they used to.

It would appear that laws of Physics / Nature just don't want mankind to be able to store electricity.

If you ride a repetitive and regular route, such a commuter to and from work, you can use a cheap time clock in conjunction with the charger and keep the battery charge level between 20 and 80% quite easily and without any additional fuss. Of course, if you have a particularly long commute, or...

I am just about to order a new chain from 50C. Their website shows two different chains, Shimano XT Chain and KMC chain. A note at the side of the XT chain says that it is for the S and 9G, so I saaume, by a process of ilimination, that I need the KMC chain? I have heard people on here say...

I understand all of this, and on reflection, I can see, to some extent, how the batteries end up being so expensive. Unfortunately, the facts do remain. They are expensive and they don't last long. Perhaps if the manufacturers weren't so, "enthusiastic" about their battery's performance, it...

Generally, ebike batteries tend to be jaw droppingly expensive, have a life of just under 50% of that claimed by the manufacturer and come with, at best, a vague warranty. Anything else a diversion from theses important issues. I hope this helps.

Macs aren't to everyones taste. It's mainly the price that puts people off. Having used both, personally, I prefer a Mac. They do use most of the internal junk that PCs use, but they are quite stylish and I suppose you have to pay for that. I think it was Steve Jobs who stated that It is the...

Well there is a very good reason not to buy a PC, just avoiding this hateful piece of software is a massive bonus :) . However, I do know a lot of people who do use it successfully and like it, I could never get on with it though, endless updates, crashing, lost work...awful. I have used PCs...
