https://www.boxcomponents.com/ Came to my attention because they are bringing out an 11-42 8 speed e-bike cassette. Long cage 9 speed rear derailleur to fit. Yes it is MTB oriented but those of us who live in steeper parts of the world can benefit from a wider range. By pure coincidence last...

Does anyone have a reference for the error code in the title? It isn't in the list of error codes in my LCD-3 documentation, that starts at "01 info". I have a sneaking suspicion it might be water ingress but where, controller or motor halls... I have had it more and more frequently over the...

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/dec/19/gatwick-flights-halted-after-drone-sighting The other day I was sitting on the sofa (probably reading pedelecs) and a movement outside caught my eye. My new flat is a birdwatchers paradise and at first I thought it was a crow or another larger...

It has come, the time of bike registration... :( In order to bring down bike theft, every bike in France is to have an ID number and accompanying card - by 2020 for new bikes and by 2021 for old ones. No number plate, but I imagine that the permanent and placed on bike to be readable marking...

Vespa will begin selling the first electric Vespa next month. I'm tempted. Despite my attitude towards the Italian government. 99 km range - translated into real world range 75 km, I can live with that especially if I can hack in a range extender :D

I have been looking at folding bikes for a while especially since the tiny Xiongda YTW-06 arrived. Today came across a promo for an Ortler, ooops Ortler, derailleur fail... :eek: One buyer comment on the site: "derailleur touched twice in the first 600 meters, bike unusable..."

Chinese frame for the moment - they are working on having it made in Machecoul - American tyres, Brooks seat and grips, BMZ battery, etc., etc... The spokes are French! :D The price is 1900€ because they only sell via the web (hello Gtech!) so cut out the middle man. They hope to have demo...

I haven't been riding my pedelec much lately, concentrating on getting some trike km under the belt when on weekends. Yesterday I charged up the battery because I was in a hurry, checked tyre pressure and set out. The motor come on briefly then cut out. The motor didn't come on again until I set...

According to Bike Radar Shimano have finally brought out an entry level 10 speed wide range 11-42 cassette. Not only good news for eMTB folk but also for us trekking guys and gals too, a 1 x 10 setup is always much more fun to ride...
