Flecc is right. They are an absolute menace especially on the East coast which is generally flat. We are also rural so people use them as a cheap vehicle. Saves the effort of pedalling I suppose :D

And mobility scooters, we are overrun with them!

I've had mine 6 months and I still love it. Whatever is going on, an hour on my bike puts a big smile on my face. It's a bit of a girlie type eye catcher and I seem to have become quite well known locally. I spend most of the ride answering cheery greetings, quite nice really.

I'd like a laser that cuts through extending dog leads! My insurance is cheap and I am sure it would treble if compulsory.

Pure pleasure, exercise, dog walking, shopping. Sulking today because the weather is foul.

Lol, they all use my iPad when they can't be bothered to go and get their own!

I bought my ebike in Feb and my son bought one a few weeks after. Hub stuck to his traditional mountain bike saying he would NEVER get an ebike unless absolutely necessary. A good few rides against the coastal headwinds seems to have changed his mind. Whenever he pants 'it's hard going, isn't...

It's worth mentioning to the OP that an ebike won't cause you to sweat when pedalling. :D

At least your three is done with now

Ha ha, I'm always being told it's cheating and I explain that otherwise I would be stuck indoors, hobbling round. Then they ask how it works, where I bought it, was it delivered and a rough price guide. I reckon they go home and google after pedalling furiously through the east coast...

Happy happy! My bike has been collected, new bike left in its place until mine is mended with new back wheel. It was the spokes. Off out very soon in the evening sunshine ☀️ Thanks for all the ideas and tips x

If not covered on your home insurance, have you tried Velosure?

It's just constant now and can be heard halfway down the road, waiting for them to come out. Unfortunately hub has been unwell this weekend, a bit of drama etc, so it's all been on the back burner. Thankfully he is ok though now and on the mend.

Thanks, will try later. Got to pop out this afternoon.

Hi, thanks for asking, Woosh, The wheel doesn't create the noise but after a while of spinning the brake rubs lightly against it, making me think it's not 'true'. If I adjust the brake slightly to the side it's fine again for a while. This is a separate noise from the creak but they may be...

Thanks Danidl It is really hard to explain. I'd call it a groany creak and now happening as soon as I sit on it. If I sit still it doesn't continue but if I move forward it creaks as the wheel turns, even slowly. I think it makes the noise once per wheel turn over a section of the wheel...

Thanks, don't laugh, how do I know what is the correct torque? Do you mean tighten it but not over tighten it?

It's a step through 'girly bike with basket' from ERanger, a cruiser. I know it's Chinese, they told me that straightaway but it's sturdy and I love it. If I'd had any idea of how much I'd love ecycling I would probably have spent quite a lot more. It will do for now though. They are very...

Thanks for your reply Danidl There is a rhythm to the creakiness which happens whether I am pedalling or not and whether I use assist or not. The bike has front suspension and it's just a normal saddle post. I'll give the spokes a ping if it's not the saddle. Also giving it a good...

P.s I don't know any technical terms apart from gears, motor, saddle, wheel and handlebars
