    Hello looking for advice on building and buying

    We tried the Battribike brand, he had a couple of those in, I think a ladies step through and a folding bike, they seemed ok but I'm pretty sure it was the Battri folding bike that I took up the road and was then not so impressed with, I think it was the Breeze that was the other folding bike...

    Hello all, after some lowlife scum decided to steal our bikes from a motorhome show a couple of weeks ago we have decided that we should take the chance to upgrade to e bikes. What we need......... basically we do a little bumbling about when we are parked up in our RV around the UK and in...
