Indeed, once had a Tipo that I kept for nearly 11 years from new. That hadn't even needed a light bulb and still looked like new with 14,000 mileage, so nicely run in. Value, £500. .

Totally agree, I'm always happy to slowly pass at a walking pace, with a smile for the pedestrian(s) and a thank you if they've stepped aside for me. That often gets just as pleasant a response. Patience is better than conflict, and of course that goes for all road users and usage as well. .

I've never known that but it is just possible that after an impact into the pedal shaft there's been some damage to the sensor assembly. Following the sequence of photos and description on the page I've given you should show if there is any structural damage and also enable you to check the...

Not that bad surely? Pat, a neighbour of mine has a near 21 year old L reg. Micra which never lets her down, more than I can say for some of the expensive stuff round here.

The best time of your life coming up Phil, enjoy! I retired early 24 years ago and the only thing I'd change is to have retired at least a decade earlier. :) .

Perhaps that's why they are broke. ;) .

I'm not sure what they mean by motor sensor Milos, the motor is a simple brushless one with no internal sensors. The only thing that I can think is the motor's Hall sensor board is displaced, something that can happen on either unit type but easier to correct on the new unit that you have. The...

As a long time eZee bike owner I'm a fan of the Forza and it's quality, but those in the know also praise the Oxygen for it's qualities. So down to your personal preferences on those two, plus the situation regarding support. As a very long term member of this forum both outside and inside the...

I take it you mean the Freego Hawk ? Wisper (no h) and Freego operate as a joint company now of course. This is Hawk Whisper, a $30,000 dollar quarter horse, still good fun!

The battery is the killer with e-bike sales. The Agattu price varied wildly in 2008, some introductory ones at £1145 but mostly more like £1400. Knock off £500 for the old battery price and you can see we are looking at less than £900 for the bike alone when new. Therefore £300 is quite a...

In which case I couldn't help at all, having no experience of that chainwheel drive unit. I didn't know they'd reached European manufacturers! .

They tend to be first time buys, and in my experience newcomers to e-biking tend to expect far more than most e-bikes can reasonably deliver. We've all seen the newby posts in here reading something like, "want an e-bike that will carry my huge weight up steep hills without me helping when I...

My above post only referred to the Panasonic crank drive units, not the rear hub motor that d8veh speaks of. I don't know that one at all, only the very favourable reports. Not having tried the latest generation of e-bikes I can't recommend, but KTM certainly do seem to have been attracting...

You'd have been better going down the local to salute, where it's the pint that still reigns supreme

By all accounts the Bosch, though there have been some good reports of the 36 volt Panasonic system. Although I've been a long time supporter of the Panasonic crank system, since they've been playing catch-up the differences have been diminishing, losing some of the better Panasonic...

Yes, unencumbered, unencucumbered, or unenchanted, guzzle away, but just watch the BMI. .

No, the UK have stubbornly stuck to pints measures, even in the larger sizes. The 2 pint container marked as containing 1.136 litres for example. I think this was originally due to the continuing use of the one pint glass milk bottles for a long time. Very different from weights, where the...

Nice to see the British penchant for queueing is still alive and well. .

In Britain a typical price for one of these units is £500, in mainland Europe €500. There are no internal new spares available. As for what is wrong and any repair possibility, much depends on which unit it is. If you have a look at my Panasonic support website you will be able to see which...

Not necessarily, greatly spotted youths are often rather shy about that condition. I wonder if you live in the right part of the country to match your timidtom name, I think in Cheshire you might just be to the north of that line? The Romans drew a line across the country from the Mersey to...
