The Quick-e has mudguards and pannier racks, much more useful... Back in the day I had just a bag on the bars with a tyre repair kit and not much else and the bike weighed about 10 kg iirc. Now I need rain gear a shopping bag, obligatory reflective vest, helmet if I cross the border more tools...

When the Tesla factory starts production next year we may have a pleasant surprise. Not holding my breath, the market is all about snake oil and suckers...

Confused RobF: it has a freewheel hub or a cassette hub? Freewheel screw on gears can be hard to remove is that what you mean? On any e-bike the first thing I would do now is upgrade the front brake to hydraulics. If it is a road commuter/trekking bike you only need a front hydraulic brake...

I can't find it any more but a Dutch online shop was selling 17 Ah (612 W) HL cased Samsung celled 36 V batteries for 599€. All tax included. There you see the real difference between perceived value (Bosch) and real value of a battery pack.

Short answer: Physics. When you corner the weight is carried to the front outside wheel. When you don't have one you fall over. When you do have one in most casses the rear wheel will lose traction and slide before you go over the front outside wheel. With a high CG tadpole it will be easier to...

Today first ride with LiPo power :eek: <- me :confused: <- various car drivers No GPS but from experience speeds in excess of 40 km/h attained in very few seconds. Maybe an s-pedelec isn't such a bad idea after all... Now I am really hankering for a 32 Ah pack.

Ta much!

There are upright tadpole trikes but not at £58... :confused:

SW has ordered his because he saw it was made of hemp... An elf like trike not very original. I would like to see one that is more recumbant for more aerodynamics and more efficient pedaling.

@Moorlie Welcome to the learning curve! We can't help you there, some things you have to learn by practice and experience

Look at this one instead it will need a battery too: http://www.pandaebikes.com/product/xiongda-double-speed-motor-ebike-electric-bike-kit-48v-350w-disc-brake/ You will be adding 6 kg to your bike no matter what, I find it to be heavy but then I used to ride second hand Tour de France bikes...

That is what the designers should be working on: getting the cables out of the way while easing maintenance. Cable spirals are much better looking than cable ties. On that particular bike it is the multiplication of cables, there are just too many and very badly tied together. Brakes and gears...

But the LBS has never had any problem with the Yamaha motored Giants. He has had to send Bosch powered Giant and Matra bikes back for motor replacement...

Hello, Style of bike? Steel or aluminium? Type of riding? (leisure, off road, commuting) Hilly where you live? etc. etc. we need the details

You haven't tried riding your bike in St Jean de Luz between the 14th of July and the 15th of August I am still scratching my head about "crowds" after looking at your video...

Oh, I thought it was another thread about riding your eMTB bike in England... :rolleyes:

I'm getting between 40 and 50 km with the GSM "unrestricted". It is in fact cadence restricted so by pedaling slowly I get more assist in any gear. Up to 45km/h...

I like the overall design for a modern step-through. Geared hub or mid motor required though. Thumbs up for: Single key Headlight console integration Battery compartment

It is in the window at my LBS, I'll get a loto ticket tomorrow... If I had a normal job I wouldn't hesitate a second and pay for it over 36 months = 75 € a month. The double chainring is the clincher, around here very handy.

And you have Yates as best young rider too! And to the runner up, it has been a while since a young French rider has been up there on the podium.
