    What annoys me about some posts

    what I’ve noticed, and find a bit annoying, are the negative non constructive threads some post. Someone asks an opinion about a bike or part and gets a “it’s crap “ style response. It may we’ll be carp but be constructive. Say why and what is better. Some members are very constructive and...

    BESV

    What's the general view on BESV ebikes? Are they style over substance? Appear well designed, winning many design awards. Prices seem reasonable. Has anyone any experience of them? Thanks.

    A bike for my wife.

    Ok after many hours of discussions Mrs C has agreed to try an ebike again. Her current bike, she finds, too big for her. Goes to prove you really do need to try try try and try your bike before buying. To be fair she was ok on it until she had a knee replacement. Now she wants something...

    A thought.....on adverts

    I've noticed we get a lot of adverts in the classified from new members who join just to sell their bikes. No contribution other than an advert. On other forums I've joined there's usually a minimum post count before adverts are accepted. What does the members think about this? Say 30 posts...

    Bikes with Rohloff.

    I'm seriously thinking of getting a new bike this Spring and am being drawn to this IGH. I know Riese & Muller offer it on their Delitte and Charger GX, but is it offered on any other make of ebike as factory OEM? Thanks.

    Fully automatic system

    hi Need to get Mrs C back on a bike. Her current 3 speed Nexus gets set in 2nd and not changed as she doesn't like changing gears. Oh and yes she has an auto only driving license. So my Q is which is the best Fully automatic system out there. One she can just pedal and forget... Gather...

    Automatic ???

    Hi. I'm trying to convince my wife to give cycling a second chance. She can't handle changing gears so on her 3 speed Nexus she puts it in second and leaves it there. It's a cadence sensing esmart bike from NZ as used by their post office. Or so we were told. She finds it surges to start with...

    Warranties

    i know that this has raised its ugly head before, but are warranties transferable between owners? Or are warranties a contract between the selling "agent" and the buyer? I thought the manufacturer had to bear some responsibility but e-bikes seem to be a grey area. If they are transferable can...
