    What do you think is best for me?

    And with PAS the harder you push the pedal the less battery you use and the more exercise you get... :rolleyes: My GSM - with PAS - kicks in as soon as the pedal moves and gives maximum Watts from a dead stop. The GSM is very quick away (careful what assistance level you are in, keep the front...

    New Gtech ebike

    Funny thing is that Brompton sells 2,300 € bikes that don't even have a motor. "Moulton bicycles range in price from £950 to £15,500 depending on the model and specification" from their web site. There are British companies capable of selling quality "Made in the UK" bikes over £1,000. Even to...

    Does this sound ok?

    Could be the clutch engaging doesn't sound very worrying to me. Did you open the motor to see if it has enough grease? See the difference with spokes tight, you will have another difference when the tyre is mounted because it will absorb even more vibrations. And you will have a better idea...

    Greetings from the South Coast of England

    No rulers, tape measures, laser distance calculators at home? :p Looking at photos of both bikes I can't see any difference in width, most bikes have 135 mm width at the dropout. Some bikes are 145 mm wide but that isn't anything to stop fitting a rack. I bought my current rack knowing that it...

    Greetings from the South Coast of England

    I put a Giant rack on my old bike and now have a Tubus. How wide is it? Can't be wider than 135 mm standard dropouts.

    What do you think is best for me?

    "Standard" cadence sensor means old fashioned square wave controller with speed setting assistance levels I presume? Your sentence is very misleading, PAS doesn't work like that on a modern bike worth over £600. My bike uses exactly 0 W downhill pedaling or not.

    Overtaking on the inside or the outside

    It was a joke. He wasn't listening at school during English lessons + texting abbreviations = sore brain when reading most SW posts. I have two sons whose French is sub par and who get corrected by their kiwi dad... :eek:

    Has anyone actually seen a Renault Twizy on the road?

    Renault can sell those but you can't build one of these with a 4 kW motor and use it in the same way: Even with 30 kg of LiPo weight difference alone would mean twice the range not to mention superior aerodynamics...

    Has anyone actually seen a Renault Twizy on the road?

    There are several around here but I think you may see lots more in Paris and other large cities. 190€ / month is a bit steep for my budget (60€ / month battery rent + financing) @Normsthename is it hilly where you live? Renault market research should have stipulated the doors as standard for...

    Raleigh are increasing prices by 10% as from August 1.

    The cycling nation bikes are from 1000 € to 9000 € because their market, Europe, is bigger. Where are the Chinese made "UK" bikes at my LBS? I think your bikes are too similar. You are all fighting for the same market segment with unoriginal products and aiming for the same price point. And...

    Overtaking on the inside or the outside

    August soon so the morons will be arriving... But here drivers leave me some room and I think they prefer seeing you coming in the mirror not in their blind spot. The morons are usually peeved because when they move out I pass on the inside, they don't know you have a motor. If they use their...
