    Electric bike race

    you have to run the external battery wires to behind the LED/switch panel or to the bottom bracket where the controller is but yes, it's possible to parallel up or remove the in-frame battery and use an external battery. I reckon 8AH should be sufficient for people to ride around in London. Th...

    Disappointed with a Pendleton e-bike

    I nearly took it as a challenge... I can see both sides of the argument. Git-r reported after 4,500 miles LBS replaced spoke 3 times then swapped the wheel on his Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro, while andy bluenoes did a similar number of miles on the Oxygen with one broken freehub, so the rear motor...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's not just amazon and ebay. Aliexpress is also a danger for UK retailers, online or in the High Street. Some send batteries by air and not declare them, plenty make 'friendly invoices' so that the customers don't pay import duty and VAT etc.

    Orbea Gain

    that is so far true, but given the same route, same rider, the amount of air drag is about the same, the required energy to go from A to B is about the same. For a typical condition of 100kg bike + rider at 15mph, the required energy is about 12WH per mile, if the rider puts in 50% in eco mode...

    Orbea Gain

    you can connect and external downtube/seat tube battery if you need to extend the 8AH hidden battery. The battery wires are at the top of the downtube, just behind the panel, under the black flap.

    Orbea Gain

    60NM at the chainring but reduced at the rear wheel after gearing. I am not convinced about more range, sure, with a weak motor, you may be forced to put in more energy when climbing than you would if the motor can keep on delivering but the difference in battery consumption would be small...
