I used to get 14 to 17 miles using it on 5 in hilly country. It will easily use 20 wh/per mile and more if ridden fast, and the harder you pedal the more power it uses. Which might seem paradoxical but just goes to show how this sort of CD eats battery. Plenty of videos on youtube showing how...

This is getting very confusing. Is this bearing actually a part which it's possible to obtain at all? Since originally the story was that the motor is non serviceable and bearing replacement wasn't an option why would a Bosch dealer have such a part? It seems as if its a Bosch specific part...

If you remember I was replying to this above: A lot of people here write similar things but what I can't understand is why they can't understand that other people might want different things to them. Or rather I do understand..... A little imagination and empathy goes a long way in this as in...

St Davids is a little under 50 miles from me but I didn't count that... I think Kerry lives in the other end of Wales.

It'll probably never happen. But simple bike stuff can be fixed by any bike shop, and it would be the same for any make. Spokes can get broken because of potholes and you can't expect the company to cover you for that. I sent an e bike by City Link using Parcelmonkey for £15 or so the other month.

The internet is your friend. I live over 50 miles from the nearest city. Not even a big city either. Woosh will do you a good bike for the money, and I think you can send it back if you don't like it as long as you're quick. Ask Hattie. Woosh are pretty good and will sort things out if they go...

I'm not so optimistic as you are clearly. Actually it's my opinion that our increased consciousness and intelligence over the other animals was probably an evolutionary mistake. It's hard to see how an animal like us can fail to destroy its habitat. In our case our world. That's the history of...

Actually we are much less clever than we think we are as a species. Our greatest capacity is for self deception, and we are stupid enough to think we can control our world when we don't even know how it works. The interactions and totally interlocking parts of ecosystems are much too complex for...

Where are you in Wales then? You must be reasonably close to somewhere.

You seem to be missing the two elephants in the room of overpopulation and climate change. It's getting harder to feed the expanding population, and that population is growing at an ever faster rate. While climate change is multiplying the effect of chance weather events, and causing massive...

Kudos has a couple of dealers in Wales, one in Swansea and one in Anglesey. I think it's Anglesey. North Wales anyway. There was an e bike dealer near Lampeter but I'm not sure he's around anymore, and New Image in Cardigan sells a couple of makes, and may order in others. He maintains them too.

I had a bottle battery before and it didn't seem very secure to me. It rattled even when the lock was properly adjusted. I kept it tight and safer with a strip of velcro around it and the down tube.

Great to see you did it. You seem to be making good progress. The whole trip is only going to take around two weeks at this rate.

It's a bit hard to see from your pictures but you look as though you have the non quick release side of the spindle wrong. That side should fit directly onto and tighten up on the drop outs. But there seems to be something else between it and the drop outs. So misaligning everything.

The Kippers dream their dreams, but reality is an alarm clock. "I'm a poet and I don't know it; hope I don't blow it."

I would guess that the main reason for the higher overall number of road deaths in Holland is the high number of cyclists. However hard the authorities there try to create a safe environment, an RTA on a bike is more likely to kill you than being in one in a car.

The promised referendum can only happen if the Tories win an overall majority. Which of course they didn't do last time in much more favourable circumstances. Any other result, a Labour win or a coalition of any kind, even one involving the Tory party, will not result in a referendum. Because...

Of course they have a lot more cyclists that us. Statistics and damned..... The number of road deaths per thousand of cyclists would be the only meaningful comparison. In the long run the oil and the prosperity will run out and we will get back to a simpler lifestyle. Or the survivors will...

Me? Pretty fit for my age. I'm the same age as David Bowie, and increasingly have the same temperament as Victor Meldrew.

Or as George Bernard Shaw wrote: "Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You may not have the same tastes." But then you may be younger than some of us and/or live in a less hilly area perhaps?
