Thanks that's very helpful.

Very helpful review. As you say, it's difficult in the UK to get a look at Fiido bikes before purchase. I have been thinking about buying a couple of these but need to ensure they fit in the boot of my car. Some sources state the height folded is 59cm, others 74cm. Both seem to have been used...

Good post. Completely agree - can be the difference between really enjoying cycling and giving up. Sent from my Paris using Tapatalk

I agree with Woosh. A quick test ride around the block should be free but I am happy to pay for an extensive test ride which reflects the wear and tear (albeit minor) on the bike. In the past I have hired cars for a day to get a thorough test before deciding whether to purchase. In the...

D8ve - thanks for the helpful advice - much appreciated. Best wishes Sent from my Paris using Tapatalk

When you had the problem with the other foot did you have it x-rayed and did that show a break? Another possibility is perhaps plantar-fasciitis? My mother (in her 80s) suffers from this and has similar symptoms to those you describe. It's more commonly suffered by athletes and, in...

Now you know who manufacturers supermarket bikes :-) Sent from my Paris using Tapatalk

If I understand correctly you are worried that your ebike won't have the range of an unassisted bike? It depends on the ebike you have compared to an unassisted bike. Assuming similar bike types, an ebike may be 7-9kg heavier. Many ebikes can be used as a normal bike with the assistance...

I have an eclipse 14.5ah with 29 cells. Bit cheaper and more than enough range for me. I have had good service from Eclipse but their website does not always appear to be up to date so suggest emailing them to confirm stock levels if you are interested. Sent from my Paris using Tapatalk

p.s. might be worth a look.... http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/take-care-of-your-knees-part-2-17445/ Sent from my Paris using Tapatalk

To share my own experiences.... I have used clipped peddles for many years on both road and mountain bikes. However, I don't have them on my e-bike. There is no doubt that clips make for more efficient peddling as your legs can pull on the up stroke. However, they can force your legs into a...

Good point D8veh [emoji1] [emoji23] Thanks to the great advice on this forum I have built a bike which meets my needs and I have yet to come close to running out of range. However, if I find my battery power is getting low some enforced vomiting might get me home. Sent from my Paris using...

Responses demonstrate that the debate is all rather academic. There are too many variables to calculate statistical impacts of rider weight that are meaningful to an individual. In addition to rider and bike weight, there are wind resistance caused by rider position, bulk, clothing and weather...

Does this help at all.... http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/tongsheng-tsdz2-with-torque-sensor-equivalent-to-bosch-or-kalkhoff-impulse-evo.24391/ I did consider this unit before going for a bafang. However there were mixed reviews about durability on the endless sphere site which put me...

If you haven't already seen it, worth looking on YouTube at the reviews done by Techmoan. He is in the UK and has done many independent reviews of dashcams for both car and bike. Also has a video on the different functions available on dashcams and their usefulness or otherwise. Definitely worth...

D8ve - have you seen anything (after market kit, legal, reliable CD with torque drive) that might tempt you to move away from your bbs01 kit? Sent from my Paris using Tapatalk

Retyred1 - I wouldn't get the wrong idea about torque vs cadence sensing. There is a lot of debate on here about which offers the best cycling experience but the cadence sensing mid drives can give you a good experience depending how you use them. I have ridden both and currently own a bike with...

It's good to know that BMSB has a fast delivery time. It would be good to be certain about whether it is coming from China or Europe when ordering to allow for VAT and handling charges. Has anyone had to pay these when purchasing from BMS in recent times?

I note that you say BMS Battery has a warehouse in the EU? I couldn't find this on their web page. I need a similar battery for the BBS01 I have ordered from a UK supplier. I would order from BMS but have read elsewhere on the forum that they take 8 weeks to ship from China. I don't want to...

Options 1. Replace old dutch (not likely). 2. Cycle alone. 3. Convert (or have converted) a bike that the other half is comfortable with. Seriously though, Woosh do some step through bikes that might suit. I tried a bike with a GSM crank drive motor which didnt feel like it was running away...
