    Newbie hoping for some battery advice

    Hi, I'm considering buying a Byocycle Boxer - would you recommend? Is it up to being take on MTB trails?

    Looking for light weight step through folding MTB?

    I've been put off it now when I realised it only comes in 18" frame size. I are right at the lowest end of the recommended height and am worried it will be too big for me.

    Looking for light weight step through folding MTB?

    Think I'm going to go with the Roodog Avatar, as it's currently selling at £1599 - https://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/brands/roodog/roodog-avatar-step-through. Does that seem a reasonable price given the spec? Anything I should be aware of given I've not bought a mtb for 25 years?

    Looking for light weight step through folding MTB?

    I'm now thinking the compromise I've going to have to make is going to have to be on the step through. So I'm now considering this. https://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/special-offers/byocycle-boxer-24-electric-folding-bike- or very similar...

    Looking for light weight step through folding MTB?

    If I am happy to go with non-folding the roodog avatar looks good - https://www.electricrider.co.uk/products/roodog-avatar-step-throughj-electric-bike?variant=31262041079867 It's just a tad more expensive than I really wanted to go!

    Looking for light weight step through folding MTB?

    Bridleways, mostly. I've taken my existing Bike over Malham moor for example. Obviously it's not really designed for this! But I don't do this sort of thing often, and I already have one expensive hobby (horses) so not willing to spend thousands... I'm going to have to compromise somewhere, just...

    Looking for light weight step through folding MTB?

    Thanks, but I can only just manage to lift my current bike in and out of the car (got a bad back), so it's probably a bit too heavy.

    Looking for light weight step through folding MTB?

    Hi, I've currently got a Batribike Breeze, which has been great - but I'm thinking about buying another. I'm looking for something very similar, but a bit tougher & sturdier - a bit more capable of taking on rougher terrain. I have taken the current one over some pretty rough routes, just...

    Folding bike advice

    Hi, could you not fit your existing bikes on a high mount rack that doesn't need a tow bar, like this one https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-racks/rear-mounted-bike-racks/halfords-rear-high-mount-3-bike-bike-rack-539061.html ? Presumably doesn't fit all cars, but doesn't need a tow bar. (you...

    can anyone recommend electric bike repair shop/person in Leeds?

    I have managed to fix it myself without too much trouble - just needed to unscrew the little box hiding the electrical connectors and reconnect them. For anyone else interested in my original question, Dave Raynor cycles in Garforth do electric bikes, and do a pickup service.

    can anyone recommend electric bike repair shop/person in Leeds?

    Hi everyone, I recently had a minor accident on my Batribike breeze, and now neither the pedelec power nor the throttle work. There is damage to the mounting for the pedelec display on the handlebars, but otherwise no visible damage. The pedelec display lights up slightly when the power button...
