Hi everyone, I haven't been on here for quite a while but now that I'm back, I have yet another "situation". I quit cycling back in July last year and sold my e-co bike a couple of months ago. The last time I posted here I was looking to buy the Kalkhoff Sahel but my circumstances changed and I...

I have no idea how it happened. I applied the brakes in good time but they didn't work and I'm not sure whether I should blame myself or if there was something wrong with the bike. I might have been going too fast and didn't expect the taxi to stop so suddenly. The chain is damaged as the pedals...

Hi everyone After selling my Brompton, I have finally raised the funds and I'm ready to purchase my new electric bicycle. I've decided to buy the Sahel Compact mainly because it's lighter. But I'm extremely worried about the bicycle being stolen and I don't know what I'd do if that happens. I...

I have been riding my current e-bike (sports direct Eco) for around 2 months now and it's time to buy a better bike. In a couple of weeks, I would need to attend hospital 5 days a week. The journey would be 24 miles both ways which is obviously not possible with my current bike. So my only...

Am I the only one who gets weird looks and abuse when wearing a helmet cam? I think it's because my camera is too big and noticeable. It's the SJ4000 and looks exactly like the GoPro. I'm honestly considering getting a smaller camera after today. I had a driver and his passenger laugh at me at a...

I took the battery off to charge and the connector on the bike side broke and is now split in half. It is still connected to the bike but it is now extremely difficult to fit the battery. It takes me at least 10 minutes to slide the battery into the connector. I'm also afraid the connector might...

OK I am feeling horrible right now and I need someone to talk to :( I've just come home from my first commute to college. I feel like such an idiot right now. I'm terrible with directions even though I've lived in Manchester all my life. I had no idea where I was going so I decided to use...

Would this lock be suitable and effective for the e-co electric bike? I'm worried it might be too large. I ordered the mini lock a few days ago but I'm still waiting for dispatch and I'm considering cancelling my order and getting this instead. Lock link...

OK here's the story :) Since the weather was so nice today, I decided to take my electric bike to the park. After riding around the park for half an hour, I soon got bored and felt the urge to ride on the road. I've only ever ridden on the road twice with an instructor and I didn't feel too...

Hi everyone, I'm from Manchester. I have suffered from anorexia for the last 10 years and I've missed out on life as an adult. I've recently started recovery and I thought cycling would be perfect to help me become more active and outgoing. I bought a Brompton folding bike last year without...

Hi I recently purchased an e-co electric bike from sports direct and it was delivered yesterday. I don't know anything about bicycle parts and the manual isn't particularly helpful. Does anyone know where I can get this bike assembled in Manchester? As cheap as possible please. I've been quoted...
