I today visited the Evans store, to leave a bike for repair. I noticed two Pinnacle Mercury e bikes small/medium in stock. Both reduced from £995 to £769. Bafang 45nm rear hub motor, 374 Wh frame integrated battery, hydraulic disc brakes, 8 speed and fittings for mudguards. Made in Taiwan not...

Hello fellow members, I wonder if anybody knows either how to fix this, or where in the north east, I might find the answer ? The electronic shifting stopped working, after the bike fell over and I fiddled with the MU 75 motor shifting unit. I bought another used one from e bay. On fitting...

Dear All, I wonder if anybody can help ? I have a KTM Ventura with Shimano STEPS motor and Di 8 speed hub. After developing a fault, I found it necessary to buy a second hand MU 705 motor changing unit. Bike at local independent shop now, as other works needed as well. When the new motor...

If anybody is still riding an e bike with the Panasonic 26 Volt mid drive motor, I have two spares. One unused motor sprocket and one used jockey wheel assembly. Free to collect from Winlaton Mill, 6 miles from Newcastle. Alternatively £3.50 posted.

I have sadly had to scrap my Raleigh Dover e bike. I now have two batteries for the Panasonic 26 volt crank drive system. One is 10aH and the other 18Ah. All 5 lights on when charged for both batteries. The larger one has a broken carry handle but this does not affect performance. Also an...

My charger for E6000 Shimano STEPS battery has stopped working. Looking on line, I see the new chargers have a smaller battery connector, not compatible with the old one. Worse still, the adaptor costs almost £40, incredible for a small plastic and metal item. The obvious question is, can I...

A friend suffers from ME and is largely house bound. She would certainly benefit from a small folding e bike with full power on throttle. As she lives in a flat, it has to be stored on the ground floor in a small communal area. I know current regulations do not permit this full power throttle...

I passed their shop today at Gateshead Metrocentre. All 3 current 2019 Orbea Gain models reduced. The bright orange basic model with cable disc brakes and entry shimano groupset, Claris I think is around £1,450 now. The Tiagra equipped one with hydraulic disc brakes is now £1,999, saving £300...

I have the Agattu Belt drive model. Has worked very well until this weekend. Suddenly a "Clacking " noise appeared. Only under assist, not when motor turned off. yes sounds like a motor problem I know. But two opinions from Evans Bike mechanics. One thought a motor problem. Then another noticed...

I found this shop yesterday during a visit to Morpeth. It is tucked away up a little alleyway. The first floor is the E bike shop, it ONLY sells e bikes. There is a very good range of bikes by Raleigh, Lapierre and Haibike. Only one hub motor one left at £699, A Raleigh. All the others are...

Here is a good example, less than 550 miles from new. Purchased from Newcastle Cycle Centre on 7 February 2018. Cost £2,600 I have the original receipt. Well equipped bike, with mudguards, powerful lights powered from main battery, Magura hydraulic rim brakes, pannier rack and stand. Nu Vinci...

Virtually unused example. Taken off a KTM new bike, less than 25 miles in use. My elderly friend just could not get used to the back pedal action, coaster brake, so popular elsewhere in Europe. There are 36 stainless steel spokes in an Ambrosio rim, size marked 28 inch and 622x19. There is no...

Dear forum members, I have the excellent KTM Ventura e bike. A few years old now. It has the 8 speed Shimano Nexus hub gearing with electronic shifting. I am familiar with the manual version of the hub, having used it on other e bikes before. The manual version has an indicator which allows...

Cotswold Outdoor shop in Northumberland Street now have a Brompton Electric demo bike. It is the 6 speed version with M bars. To have a trial for 30 minutes ! . You leave your debit card and a £1 payment will be taken. If the bike is not returned, you pay £2,600 the full cost. I assume you...

I have a pair of Swalbe Smart Sam 29x2.6 inch tyres. Originally Fitted to a Cube Reaction 500 Race, bought new in September 2017. Had puncture problems and to be honest found these very hard to remove and tubes were being nipped when I put them back on. Then went tubeless using Maxiss 29x 2.4...

Probably over a year ago now, I sold a Dahon Jetsream with electric conversion to a gentleman in the south of England. His Son and Daughter in law or perhaps Daughter and Son in law came from Leeds to collect the bike. I have just found the spare key for the rack battery lock. If the buyer...

As fitted to my Cube Reaction Race 500, bought new in September 2017. I found them difficult to remove for puncture repairs. Now gone tubeless. Very little tread wear. If anybody can use them, I will sell for £10 the lot, collected from Winlaton Mill, Blaydon on Tyne, NE21 6SD.

Bought new in April 2017 (have receipt) cost £1,450. Original 11Ah 36 v battery replaced with 17Ah version, a £400 upgrade, see 50 cycles website to confirm this. Owner was 87 and never took bike off road. Always kept indoors and battery topped up after every ride. Only 360 miles on clock...

My 4 month old Cube is very good in most respects, bar one. I ride mainly on local cycle ways, poorly maintained (Gateshead) and have had 2 punctures front and back. Removing the Swalbe Smart Sam 29 x2.6 tyres to remove the tubes is very difficult. The tyre beads seem almost welded to the rims...

A visit last week, reveals a greatly increased range of E bikes. Many from Trek, also Specialized, 3 Cube Reaction Hybrids, Ebco, Raleigh and their own brand Pinnacle with the Shimano STEPS system. The TREK models have a 48 hour trial offer, payment of £50 required. I found the staff very...
