    Dynamo...

    Most bottle dynamos have considerable drag James, and two would only exacerbate that. Though I've never tried them, it seems from reports that some of the expensive high end bottle dynamos are not so bad for drag, but two for what is really a back up system will be rather expensive. Here's...

    Opinions on this bike please

    I don't personally know anything about the brand which is only about 25 years old and most of it's development in the last 15 years. However it seems well founded with plenty of bicycle sport knowledge and present in a huge range of countries, better coverage than many well known brands. Their...

    New Electric Bike £241 Delivered.

    It's the same Unite motor and integral gearbox that the Electrodrive uses these days. With the rear of BB mounting that full size bikes use with the similar Cyclone and the like, the bike chain can be routed around the motor sprocket. With this underslung mounting that isn't practical, so a...

    New Electric Bike £241 Delivered.

    Should easily last long enough to justify the £241, especially with a smaller lighter rider.. Though obviously too much to carry while walking, the weight at 28 kilos isn't bad at all for a 12 Ah SLA batteried e-bike. There are some lithium battery e-bikes at that sort of weight level. .

    Kalkoff s10 life out of a chain

    I wouldn't dream of using measurement, I just use chains and sprocket for several thousands of miles until their eventual death, which can be derailleur slippage, or with hub gears, noise through tooth hooking catching the chain. Then I just change the lot for new, or in some cases with...

    Electric Bike Show

    Yes it is Steve, and an indication of how far ahead of us with e-bike acceptance they are in that area of Europe. Velovision magazine have normally been the best source for English language reports on these continental shows, the editor Peter Eland usually attending them and bringing back...

    Never need to chage again

    Not a new idea of course, Israel had a similar scheme for cars made and designed especially for it by Renault. For those the battery swap was automated to make it as rapid as any liquid fuel stop. The company first promoting it failed, but a new company with a rapid charge system instead has...

    I've resigned.

    . That's real wisdom. Far too many don't realise what a trap a good salary can be and how much happier they might be with less money and greater autonomy. .

    Problem charging Panasonic EKE007 NiMH battery for Lafree Twist

    Yes, the Powerstream PST-N100-24V is what I recommend on my Panasonic support site, and you'll see all the information on this webpage with connector information linked to there. I've tried a number of different e-bike chargers and only the Powerstream one works off the shelf with the Lafree...

    I've resigned.

    Absolutely Neptune, my brother at almost 82 is a good example. He was forced to give up cycling five years ago due to a badly damaged arthritic knee, three years ago he had to have open heart surgery and now he has bowel cancer. He's undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy currently and will...
