    Lol. You would need another test pilot. I haven't even got a bike helmet yet. I'm bombing around in hiking boots and a fishing parka. Even within legal limits people must be thinking "blimey that sofa on wheel is going at a good clip" As I've read on here. With de restricting an ebike You can't...

    Thanks Dave. I've put the wheel size back to normal. As I'm not a great cyclist and I'm not going to use that speed. If I ever need it and it's legal to do so I guess I can just change the wheel size quickly.

They are great and really encouraged me to go for an emtb and spend a bit more. Once I saw how you were tearing across those fields. I'm now doing the...

    hi all. For some reason my throttle will got to 16.5 unassisted. Then cuts out . As does peddle assist. I read on here about chnging wheel size to a smaller setting to fool the speed sensor. Well. The motor doesn't cut out at all now. In fact My bottle went first. However it is now reading a...

    Help with mud please

    Thanks guys. Have taken it all onboard. We've had a great first day . Shocking thing is. My 9.5 year old still would have done more. And he's on a single speed bmx.

    Help with mud please

    Back again. 6 more miles. Legs and knees are aching. So must be getting some exercise. He's loving it as we've been out about 4 hours. Generally I cycle 10 minutes to the park. And I'm then standing around giving him an hour to play. Now I'm bombing around like a big kid.

    Excellent. Thanks guys. Front wheel is silent again. My lad has just said. Let's go out again. Oh, no thanks says I." Why not dad you've got an engine now." so now we are off out again. I've got mud all over my face. Not had that since rugby 30 years ago.

    Just to really show my complete ignorance. Where are the bearings? I'm guessing in the hub of the Wheel?

    Help with mud please

    I've given it a rinse off. Mud was very wet so came off easy. Took it for a spin round the block. Front wheel making a tinny light sound like metal on metal. I'm guessing that's wet brakes. Seemed to get less on the way home.

    Help with mud please

    very sorry. And I know it's pathetic. But I've never got a bike muddy before. I'm the new owner of an oxygen MTB . Me and the lad have just cycles across 3 mud and grass parks That follow a river. And then bombed around some woods. My bike is now muddy. My natural inclination is to hose it...

    e Day has finally arrived.

    Hi mate. I'm new. Just ordered my first. So I can't make any technical comment. However, I only know two people that ride. They have a big 4 by 4 and go on MTB holidays etc with multiple bike. That couple aside everyone else I know has left bikes alone since childhood.
