Was flicking through a few old pictures yesterday and came across the following of my unpowered Chinese bike. Slightly off topic but after two weeks riding this in 90% humidity I decided to go electric. Cost £25 brand new. However, I think you will agree it was never going to be a worldwide...

Spotted this in China today, notice anything different?

The battery on the Ebike I use in China started to fail after two years regular use. So yesterday I set off to see if I could get a replacement. First stop was a local un-powered bike shop to get my tyres inflated (They freely let you use the air line). While there my Chinese friend asked the...

A common upgrade on this forum is to change the chain wheel to 52T. This is normally the standard big ring on a road / race bike weighing less than 10kg. Mph can be calculated using gear inches and cadence, so in order to benefit from the large ring you must maintain at least the same...

Well I went for a test ride this morning and first impressions were stunning. Beautiful looking bike (MTB version) and very powerful. Rode up the steepest hill out of Ramsey effortlessly in top gear, not sure of the gradient but a reasonable test. Three power modes, which will enable me to...

It is often quoted on numerous threads that the Powacycle Salisbury is low powered and more often than not dismissed as a selection in favour of the the much more expensive, supposedly high power bikes like the Wisper, Kalkhoff and Ezee. My argument is, why pay more than double the cost for a...

I recently purchased a Salisbury LPX. The manual supplied is quite basic and from what I can see does not explain the function for each position of the three mode rocker switch. The guy in the shop I bought the bike from said the bottom position labelled 'off' provides 50% pedelec power and the...

I recently purchased a Salisbury LPX and from advice given on this forum, I think I have conditioned it correctly i.e two full charge / discharges. Since then I have just topped up following each run, however I have also read that the cells are stressed at full charge. Should I stop the charge...
