    For sale BH Emotion Sport Max + with 25Ah battery

    I am selling my Emotion Sport Max as I have purchased a Blue Label Nuvinci Charger. It is in good working order and comes with a 25Ah battery (less than a year old) and fast charger which charges on the bike. It also comes with the standard charger. I haven't done many miles over the last year...

    E-Bike Vision batteries

    I have just had an email from 50 Cycles saying they do these batteries now. They have a shocking mark-up as the 18Ah costs about £350 in German and I have just purchased the 25Ah for £505 delivered. The email mentioned that the standard charger would take 12 hours to charge but there is a fast...

    Do we need so many traffic lights?

    I have noticed that when the traffic lights are out the traffic flows better. This little film sums up nicely what happened when they experimentally turned off a set of traffic lights. Experiment: Town in England turns off traffic lights, surprising results. [VIDEO]

    Emotion Sport Max +

    Is it really a "Sport" bike? Having owned my bike for a week I have been riding my Emotion around with the 11 tooth conversion. I really do like this conversion as it pushes the cadence up which suits me. I was a bit seduced by a previous comment that it didn't affect range. I knew this...

    Ready made bike or Bionx kit?

    Sorry long post alert. In the past I haven't seen the point of buying a kit, there seemed to be so many excellent electric bikes out there so why would you want to build your own. Now I am not so sure. Firstly I have owned four very different electric bikes and all have had there problems...

    Availability of 2010 ebikes

    Some time ago we discussed what was new for 2010. As I am on the look out for a new bike I wonder if anybody has taken delivery or knows when the new bikes are going to appear. My own preference is for a low maintenance commuting machine, so I would like: Alfine or 8 speed hub gears (fed...

    Paying lip service to cyclists

    While I don't necessarily agree that a 3 foot rule is the right way to go I do think that being skimmed by a passing driver is one thing that puts me off cycling. All my friends think I am mad to ride into London every day and when questioned, the usual reason given is that drivers get too...

    Sunday Times 'Top Five Electric Bikes'

    The top five electric bicycles - Times Online Once again the Go Cycle gets the top prize - I don't get it. Maybe they don't get it either, as I quote "The Cytronex can be ridden fast — but is this what electric-bike buyers are looking for?". Er yes, some of us are.

    Cytronex lacking "go"

    I had to have a new motor fitted to my cytronex. I spoke too soon about the reliability but it was all sorted out quickly by Mark at cytronex. However it may be coincidence or not but the bike lacks some of its previous power or "go". I think the decription is that "it couldn't pull the skin off...

    New range of Cytronex bikes

    Has anybody noticed the new cytronex range on their website? --- The UK's Best Deals on Dental Products As expected they are a bit more expensive than the Trek bikes. Cheapest is the Ridgeback Cyclone at £1195 but I don't like the frame style or the 26 inch wheels. Top of the range is the...

    Cytronex review

    A few weeks ago I submitted a review of my Cytronex after 5 months or 1000 miles - I cannot find it published anywhere. As it took some considerable time to write up I am afraid I won't be doing it again! Shame as there were some useful tips about the brakes. Anyway it is great and if anybody...

    Wet weather tyres

    The tyres on my Cytronex are completely treadless and I wonder if this makes them unsuitable for for wet weather use. I am asking because I had a very near tumble on wet leaves the other day. The bike went from under me but I was going slow enough to put a foot down and so stop myself going...

    Agattu battery life

    My Agattu has done over 600 miles since I bought it but the battery is less than satisfactory. When new I did the two full discharge cycles and the range was measured at around 37 miles using my journey to work. This was all done in high powered mode as I don't particularly like arriving at work...

    Torq R.I.P?

    I see that the new Torq no longer features on the 50 cycles website. Maybe they have just sold out but it would be a shame if it is no longer available. Odd as the Forza is also out of stock but still listed. End of an era then?

    Futile racing

    I have always wondered why when I catch up and overtake a cyclist dressed head to toe in lycra they always spend the next 5 minute panting on my tail before overtaking me (usually through a red light). This morning I had the answer. This particular cyclist stormed through a pedestrian crossing...
