    Cytronex kit or alternative?

    I've been mulling over the idea of adding some assist to my Dahon Cadenza 26" wheel folder just to help out when, like today, it's fairly windy and to enable me to extend my Sunday ride out. I think Cytronex is probably the best option. I've put myself on their email list for when the kit...

    Thumb Throttle for Ezee

    I want to change my ancient throttle only (i.e. non pedelec) Quando from twist throttle to thumb throttle. It is all too easy to accidentally twist the throttle whilst walking the bike, an alarming and potentially dangerous predicament. I would like to call upon the wisdom and wealth of...

    Quando 1 six five special

    I'm going to have to let go my Quando 1 six five special. I don't know the age of the bike, maybe Flecc will enlighten. It's one of the first, throttle only - no pedelec. I have replaced the 48T chainwheel with a stonking TA 65T - thus six five special - giving a respectable ratio of 72 gear...

    T shirt slogan

    It's national bike week next week, I wonder what sort of slogan you could put on a T shirt to extol the virtues of e-biking. I had thought of "It's more fun with a battery" or "Yorkshire hills? E-bike 'em"

    Quando queries

    I've got a Quando 1. That's the one with rear suspension - not really designed for shorthouses like me (29 inside leg). The thing is, I can pedal away fine up to around 9mph above which speed my little legs can't keep up so the biking experience is not too brilliant. I don't have the ability to...
