Did the mudguard stay in place okay with it only being supported on one side? Or am I misunderstanding what you have done.

Not yet. I suspect I'll need to do a bit of DIY to get the mud guard stays to fit, which I'm not made keen on in case I break it. Which I find strange as I normally like a bit of DIY, I think this time I feel it'll be too annoying. My biking is a Viking Urban Legend (see...

Hi all, I'm looking for advice regarding mud guards. I have a hybrid bike with disc brakes front and rear. I'd like full length mud guards for 700c tyres, but I'm struggling to find any that can fit round the disc brakes or callipers. And if like full length to keep spray of my battery and...

Okay so found this... https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules On several counts it fails the EAPC requirements (power, speed and lack of pedals) which means it would need to be registered and taxed. A licence would be required as well as a crash helmet. And finally it would need to be 'type...

@trex: No idea, one of the vital bits of information I'd like to know too. I've asked but no response yet. @JohnCade: I wouldn't want to do 24mph on it either. Certainly at that speed it wouldn't be classed as bicycle. Unless I'm wrong they have a 15mph limit. @Emo Rider: Well I know I don't...

What do people make of this Indiegogo campaign? Fold-modern-electric-bike I like the idea of it, even if the riding position with the feet so far back isn't ideal (in my humble opinion). And I'm on the market for a folding electric bike that doesn't weigh too much as I'd want to take it in to...

@d8veh: Thanks. @trex: Good point regarding the size of the bike and converting it, something I hadn't considered. However I'm thinking that a bottle battery may fit as it has the bolts for a bottle cage, alternatively a saddle battery. Similarly a small bag attached to the frame (where it...

@trex: Funnily enough I was thinking of buying a small folding bike, either an electric one or getting a kit for it. This would have the advantage of me being more likely to get on the train (been refused before) should a house move on the cards pan out and to use it on bad weather days (cycling...

Ahhh! Well spotted flecc!

Afternoon all, I am considering purchasing an electric bike conversion kit. I have a short commute to work but it does involve one rather steep hill of 10% for approximately 1km, which then gets steeper to just over 15% for another 150m, I weigh in at 80kg. My work has no showers and with...
