    New Bosch bike throttle addition possible?

    lol l meant a hand throttle on a 250w ebike, rather than having to turn the pedals very slowly.

    New Bosch bike throttle addition possible?

    On the Mirider the "boost" button will move the bike at 16mph and all you have to do is turn the pedals very slowly to keep it going at maximum speed. This is fully legal. What's the safety difference between that, and a throttle.

    Review MiRider One

    2,000 miles on the Mirider now. The battery is still fine. The main rear suspension pivot developed play after 1,000 miles but a replacement was only £10. A couple of things have gone wrong with it. The pedals last around 500 miles. The freewheel failed at around 1,500 miles and it wasn't...

    Review MiRider One Road

    l've done 2,000 miles on my Mirider 1 Generally l agree with the above review, with a few extra points. The main suspension pivot develops play after around 1,000 miles, causing rear wheel steering. A replacement is £10 but you need two large allen key sockets to replace it. l also have the...

    Pedelec Law - The Details

    These electric motorcycles are a far cry from any pedelec, l've seen them around here. Typically the motor is upwards of 1600w with a top speed of 70mph or more. They are readily available online so hardly surprising the local scallys are razzing around on them. Also they are pretty much...

    My Urban Mover 26S got stolen from my Car boot. DAMN THEFT!!!

    Yes a little odd, why did he have a picture of an un-broken rear window on his car. And then a picture exactly the same but with the window smashed Long time ago though, the O/P hasn't been seen on here since 2012

    Problem with brand new Mirider Ebike

    So l've got a Mirider 1 and my missus has just got hers on RTW The new one isn't right, the range is poor (10 miles) and the battery indicator is down to 50% after as little as 2.5 miles. The bike is slower than mine and can't achieve the 15.5mph cutoff speed, managing about 14mph before...

    Helmet noise

    Yes l have. At speed the front edge of the straps lift and makes the noise. lt's really loud, particularly if it's windy

    Helmet noise

    lt's definitely the straps in front of my ears because if l press the strap with my finger the noise completely stops on that side. l'll try the "cat ears" idea !

    Helmet noise

    Now here's an unusual one, l've never seen it discussed. My cycle helmet is a standard type and it's fine at lower speeds, however at speeds of 15mph the wind roar is actually quite excessive, worse than my motorcycle helmet. When descending hills or riding into the wind it's even worse and a...

    Mirider 1 off road

    l am surprised that this thread didn't generate any interest. l am still using the Mirider but less off road now, done over 1,000 miles and still running perfectly

    Haibike Hardseven 2016 STOLEN IN SUTTON,SURREY

    Well it was stolen six years ago and it's likely the owner has moved on years ago, hasn't been on this forum for years either, the bike is in Sweden you say? l guess it's possible, but would it be worth recovering it after all this time?

    Another ebike prosecution pending !

    lf you attach a GPS speedometer to your bike, you will almost certainly find that the bike's speedometer over reads by 1-2mph

    ideally 15kg e-bike for a 15m commute (total there and back) ideally under £800 in London

    It seems everyone has their own chain care plan! l just use GT85 on mine and have found that the chain lasts 2-3 times as long as with regular chain oil, plus the drive train stays clean (before it would get covered in black gunge and needed the cassette dismantling to clean it)

    Motor repairs

    That's why l was asking if anyone had used them. lt means that if the Shimano motor on my mountain bike develops any kind of fault, l need to pony up £900-1,000 for a new motor. l did contact them asking if they could service my motor as it's done over 3,000 miles but they flatly refused to...
