    Ebike for tall rider with Nexus gears?

    Why front hub drive? Would you not consider crank drive ie shimano, Bosch, Yamaha or Brose? There are a few that use the Nexus 7 or 8 hub gear; maybe the Raleigh Motus might be what your looking for, it's large size frame should fit you nicely.

    Grown a Moustache!

    About 78 miles completed up to now over varied terrain from lanes to rough track and canal towpaths. First impressions are that this bike is really comfortable and capable over most surfaces. The wheels and tyre size copes well with tracks and uneven surfaces and is reassuring when suddenly...

The Moustache Samedi Xroad, slightly different from my normal choice in that it's a do anything bike but more Mtb orientated in its frame design. Have only...

    Yes I,m sure you,ll think it's worth it as the miles go on, it's similar to buying a car, washing machine or dishwasher etc, they are all great when new but it's how they are functioning in 3 or 5 years time that really counts!

    We have two R and M Tinkers, yes R and M ebikes are more expensive than some other brands but they are particularly well made with quality components and good quality control during manufacture. This equates to a better ride experience and therefore may be thought of as being better value for...

    Struggling up hills

    The ebike will be better for the work commute though because you won't need to shower when you get there.

    Yes, we live around about an hour from Worcester, but it is a lovely city and nice countryside around about with interesting historical houses. There's the Cotswolds nearby, but can get busy on the roads due to Birmingham not too far away. One of my favourite counties for cycling is...

    Picked the orange Tinker up on Wednesday for MrsG, looks smashing! First run out this morning, me with a head cold and MrsG with an aching back. Did 19 miles in the sunshine with the obligatory tea stop, bikes running beautifully. Thoroughly cleaning seat post seems to have solved slippage...

    Will be interested to know how you get on with the Tinkers over time, will you start a post in the review section? I must admit that despite dealers saying they sell lots of Tinkers I've never seen any others when out and about. Where about a in the country are you?

    Hi and glad you're pleased with your Tinkers. Saddles are such personal things and I shall be putting my favourite Brooks leather one on the blue bike after tomorrow. The seat post on the blue one was also shortened by the dealer when supplied to ensure it would lower enough. However when I ride...

The orange colours is my wife,s favourite so...

    Advice for a true 'Gentlemans' e-bike...

    Check out the Moustache brand, really nice and French made, nicely shaped bars and comfortable positioning. Ebikes cheating? Definitely not! Just a natural evolution of the bicycle!
