Powabyke takeover Metroelectric | Bath business news

Gentlefolk all, pay heed to my call, And learn a lesson from my fall. - Shakespeare, or McGonagall or Somebody So there I was on Monday, slowing to a walking pace, turning my head to look at an interesting house, and pehaps therefore inadvertently turning the handlebars that way, when I chose...

I have just returned from a 23-mile out-and-back trip along the Bristol and Bath Railway Path. I thought I deserved some easy riding after yesterday. I know that a few Bathonians frequent this forum, so they will probably know what I mean when I say that yesterday I went from Bath via Wooley...

After a bit of research and experimentation, I have put a switch into the pedelec sensor circuit on my bike. I used an old motorbike handlebar switch given to me by a friend, which is perfect. I am therefore now able easily to select between various modes: pedalling only, pedelec, pedalling...

I disconnected the pedelec sensor on my bike to enable use with throttle only (it does add quite a few miles to the battery's range, as the motor does not run when you don't need it to). However, I would like the option to be able to use the pedelec mode too when wanted, so should like to fit a...

Grr! I have just come back from a 90-mile round trip (in the car!) to look at a Powacycle Lynx being sold on eBay (looking for an e-bike for my wife, who is still not convinced that she wants to join our wonderful world). When I got there, the bike's battery was completely flat, so no test...

I am sure I could find this information by trawling through this forum, but am being lazy in hoping that somebody knows the answer off the top of their head. Is there a folding e-bike on which one can disable the pedal assist mode and just use the throttle when wanted? And yes, I am aware of...

From all the favourable comments here and elsewhere, I had been lulled into thinking that Marathon Plus tyres were just about impregnable. Imagine my frustration, then, to lift my bike from the car boot in a place 80 miles from home to discover a completely flat front tyre. The odd thing is...

I am hoping that I can get an answer to what I should have thought would be a fairly simple problem, but my bike's suppliers (The Electric Transport Shop) appear unable to get to grips with it. The specification of my bike, a Green Edge Blackstar, states that the tyre size is 20x1.95. When I...

The clock on this forum seems to have thrown a wobbly again. I made a post at 05:52, and it was logged as being at 06:49. I notice that other posts have similarly obviously incorrect times.

I took delivery of an electric bike at the end of October, after several months of prowling this forum and going for test rides on a number of bikes, folding and otherwise. We live in mid-Hertfordshire, but spend a lot of time in Bath, so good hill-climbing was essential. Also, I wanted a folder...

I have just bought a GreenEdge BlackStar (new model with gears), and am in general pretty pleased with it. I shall post more details and a photo in a few days' time. Meanwhile, however, I have a problem. There is a bolt on the top of the handlebar column whose function is apparently to help...

Hi, oldosc I've read all (I think) of your posts about the Silverado; you seem to be the only member with one! Would it be fair to infer from what you say that you are pretty impressed, apart from the issue of battery life? I was encouraged about what you say about its hill-climbing, as I would...

It's "pedalling", guys (what you do with pedals), as opposed to "peddling" (what you might do with drugs, etc.)!

What I need from an electric bike is possibly a bit unusual, in that, if all went according to plan, it would be used regularly in two different parts of the country. Actually, I should have said electric bikes, because hopefully my wife will join me in this enterprise! Incidentally, I am...
