    Many makers only supply though dealers Joseph, including Giant who are one of the world's largest manufacturers of bikes. This is also common practice in many other industries. The charger is generic and a common type, but the connector can vary between makes. I don't know which connector...

    P&O Britannia now entering the Solent

    . I wonder how the Queen feels about this? Once she owned the Brittania as her royal yacht for 40 years, now she just gets to name this one. .

    Jeremy Clarkson Suspended

    Or like to hate him! It seems from interviews that many who are very critical of him still watch. Fortunately though, the BBC's income doesn't depend on the likes of him and Jonathan Ross. .

    Jeremy Clarkson Suspended

    Announced earlier that Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended by the BBC after a fracas with Top Gear's producer, and the Sunday edition will not be broadcast. I've just listened to pundits saying that he is irreplaceable, what utter nonsense! As all we cyclists know, our roads are packed with...

    How (not) to encourage children to cycle

    Unfortunately even the police have their quota of idiots, but at least the force involved apologised and will no doubt be having some rather uncompromising words with the officer. .

    KTM Macina 29 stolen last night

    You are misreading it Mac_user82, the reference to anti-rotation means the special nuts, not the wheels. Anyone can still ride away a bike with these security nuts fitted, since they leave the wheels still able to turn freely. .

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    Not as much as five-0 would! .

    KTM Macina 29 stolen last night

    True SRS, the wheels will still rotate when these locking nuts are used, so they only protect against parts removals. Certainly useful to protect parts, but thieves will still take a bike to quickly sell. Only the eventual buyer will be inconvenienced when they find they cannot remove the...

    Buying doesn't seem all that easy

    The 250 watt rating is nominal on these, the standard Volt Pulse uses a lower power motor than the eZee Torq, Big Bear and Volt Pulse X. The last two use the BPM motor and the eZee their own motor which is similar in power to the BPM. The eZee uses some better quality components which helps...

    Has any other member got a Kalkhoff Sahel i360 Harmony ?

    That's good Mike, hope it all goes well and you end up with improved power. There's no opposing the effects of age on the muscles though, as I know only too well. If you haven't done so, ask them to boost the power to the maximum while they have it. I seem to remember they have a level called...

    Has anyone ridden the Woosh Krieger?

    I'm another one who likes the Woosh Krieger appearance. It seems to have a well balanced look and a balance of practicality and good styling that's all too rare. It should do well as more get to see this new entrant. .

    I've been STOLEN, AGAIN!! :(

    Fair enough cwah, the advice I gave was based on what most of my London friends have chosen to do and are happy with. As a fellow Londoner I only offered that advice for you to either accept or reject, not for others to start attacking me for doing that. I'm sorry that you have to move against...

    I've been STOLEN, AGAIN!! :(

    Since when is it flak to make a sensible suggestion that fits all his circumstances? Those circumstances weren't just a battery and bag theft as you imply, they were the large number of thefts that poor cwah has suffered, plus the unsuitability of any e-bike for his posted requirements. And if...

    I've been STOLEN, AGAIN!! :(

    The only fact that matters is the quality of the advice, and mine fitted the circumstances better than any other given. .

    I've been STOLEN, AGAIN!! :(

    My suggestion was the best to date at the time I posted it and it fitted the circumstances precisely which no others have done. The four posting "likes" appear to agree. And why are you specifically attacking my suggestion? In this thread and in others, members have suggested that cwah should...

    Trying ebikes

    Agreed Dave, hence my wink smiley in mentioning a lobbyist. I've also posted many times about how small the influence of this enthusiast forum is in the mass consumer e-bike world, and Frank Curran of Powabyke has also posted in a like manner. Over 100,000 current UK e-bikers have chosen a...

    Trying ebikes

    Can we know for certain which buyer you are referring to Dave? If it's Justin Fleming who bought a Woosh Big Bear without trying one, his posts are certainly not as you suspect. They are very obviously genuine since the Big Bear was not the one he was specifically showing interest in at first...
