    I think there are 3 main aspects to consider when choosing a bike for commuting: the bike needs to be fully equipped for all weather riding, easy and pleasant to be pedaled without power, the motor needs to be appropriate to your weight to give you a reasonable amount of torque on hills and the...

    Ebike for commuting

    Compared to suspension forks, balloon tyres add little to the bike's weight and offer a fair amount of comfort. For reference: A Schwalbe Fat Frank balloon tyre (26 x 2.35) weighs 815g. A Marathon Plus with green guard (26 x 2) commuting tyre weighs 1100g. I recommend balloon tyres highly to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    blame Jeremy Corbyn. He could have flipped 48%-52% the other way. I bet if he is replaced by someone else more sympathetic to remainers, the Pound will rise and inflation will be muted.

    Newbies from Melksham (yet to buy)

    The Big Bear is a bit like a motorbike, you select a gear to suit your cadence, usually 5, 6 or 7 then never have to shift gears. You pedal as much as you like, even not at all. The BPM motor on it will pull you up any hill. The Santana CD is a crank driven bike, the motor rotates the chain...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    goods manufactured for export to any market have to comply with standards of that market. For own own market, I expect parliament will have to make time to develop our own standards like we used to.

There is a very useful tool at ebikes.ca called the motor simulator. It has a database of about 60 of the most...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that was funny but incorrect. Much of what we want from the EU is easy for the EU to agree and dare I say, in the EU own interest to get as much done as possible: 1. zero for zero tariff on a large range of goods 2. we are willing to pay a small access fees for our service exporters and bank...
