Hi, Someone on ebay is selling a used Ezee Nimh charger - although there is no buy it now option, and it still has 9 days to go. Item number: 230188573878 It could be worth keeping an eye on.

I was quite suprised to read that people on here don't like / use helmets. I thought the large majority would be in favour. If I ever pop out on my bike without my helmet on I feel a lot more vulnerable.

When should a cycle chain be replaced, are there wear signs to look out for, or do most people wait until it actually fails? Thanks, Gavin.

Hi Tom, I just wanted to say that I own a Powabyke and even though the service / sales backup is very good, if you can afford the extra money, I'm sure the Ezee Forza/Forte will be a much nicer bike to own. I pass someone on a Forza riding in the opposite direction to me every morning and...

Hi, which bike does this belong to?

Sealed Lead Acid Battery Hi Flecc, whilst on the subject of batteries, do you have any advise regarding good practice with charging the old Lead Acid batteries? - as used on my Powabyke. I currently do a daily commute to work, totaling approx 13miles, charging the battery each evening after...

That's interesting. I emailed Powabyke last week and have yet to get a reply. They have previously always replied within 24 hours.

I went to Halfords this morning but they couldn't fix the wheel until Friday, their maintenance guy was on a training course. They were good enough to diect me to another local bike shop who could fix it today though, so managed to get the two spokes replaced and wheel trued for £12.(Cheaper...

Thanks for the replies. The spokes have snapped at the hub end - at the end where the nipple is, so the tyre should be able to stay on. Looking at the wheel, I think it will need trueing as Flecc said. My only local bike shop, which is still open when I get home from work, is Halfords -...

I've just been checking my bike over for loose spokes - and found two snapped spokes on the rear wheel. I have never replaced a spoke before, am I right in assuming that the tyre will need to be removed? Will any local bike shop stock spare spokes? Thanks for your help, Gavin.

I don't think you can go far wrong at that price Andy. I was very tempted myself, but it was a bit too far away. I hope you're happy with it.:)

EZEE Sprint on Ebay £125 - SOLD - SOLD - SOLD I've just noticed an Ezee Sprint - 3 speed for sale on ebay. I'm not sure how old it it is. But it looks very cheap at £125 Buy It Now. I thought someone could be intersted. Item number 130163406979 - based in Norfolk.

The Powabyke Lithium upgrade on their website is: 6amp £169 or 10amp £299. Most dealers will knock this price down a bit though. A Euro 26" 6 Speed with 6amp Lithium would be £814, which is expensive, but would be very good up hills. The only steel Powabykes available now are the shopper...

The spec of the Powabykes has improved over the last 18months or so Flecc. They nearly all have aluminium frames, mudguards etc. And when fitted with the Lithium battery weigh around 26-28kgs - not too bad. I agree they do still look a bit crude though.

Hello, just a quick note to say that I bought one of those tubes from halfords with the sealent/slime inside. Believe it or not I got a puncture the very next day! The sealant just made a mess and it wouldn't seal the hole. Lots of people on here recommend the Shwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, I...

Hello, I'm aware that I will soon be riding home from work in the dark, most of the roads are well lit, however there is a short 1 mile stretch with very poor lighting and lots of pot holes, can anyone recommend a specific model powerful front light? Thanks, Gavin.

Continental I've just read the guarantee card that came with the Continental Travel Contact. If you get a puncture within 12months of purchase, you can take it back to the dealer who will replace the tyre and inner tube free of charge. Sounds good to me. The tyre was £19.99 from halfords...

Another puncture!! I can't believe it. I got another puncture on the way home tonight. Yesterday was a piece of glass, today a large nail which went through the tread and out through the side wall. I ordered a Marathon Plus from Halfords yesterday but it won't be here for a week, so I've...

Thanks David. I've already paid £25.99 for one tyre(Halfords). At least I'll save some money on the second tyre. Thanks again, Gavin.

Voucher Hello Ian, If the voucher is still available I could certainly make good use of it. Thanks, Gavin.
