Anyone see this weeks Apprentice? The task was to design and sell electric bikes. I challenge you to watch it without screaming at the screen............

http://granfondo-cycling.com/cube-agree-hybrid-c62-worlds-first-real-e-road-bike/ ooh, I do like the look of this one! The motor and battery both clip off to convert it to a standard road bike. Not sure I dare to ask for a test ride on this one, not at £4,500! But a sign of things to come?

Just watching C4 Spa F1 qualifying. One segment shows David Couthard along with a pro cyclist and a racing driver on a bike ride in the Belgian countryside. DC seemed to be keeping up well and I was beginning to suspect he was getting a little help, admitted right at the end, but I didn't get to...

Interesting article in today's Times about motorised bicycles. The picture appears to show a bike with a small motor but I can't see any drive system - is it a petrol/electric system...

Just browsing a few sites and I come across the "Haibike Xduro Trekking Pro" It has 27 gears, by combining a 9 speed derailleur with a three speed hub gear. It doesn't appear to be marketed in the UK. Has anyone seen one of these?

As a change from reading about people's problems, I'm interested in hearing about high mileages on the various motors. Anyone willing to start by letting us know how many trouble free miles you've covered? I'm afraid I'm only a beginner with 270 (trouble free!) miles on my Bosch ......

I've spent the last three days at an exhibition in Birmingham. Now Birmingham has a rather innovative cycle scheme for its residents, the details aren'r relevant here but I had the opportunity to go for an early morning ride on one of the bikes. Simple Hybrid bikes with 15 gears, the sort you'd...

When I bought my electric bike (Kalkhoff Pro Connect B10) I thought there was a good selection of trunk bags available. Wrong! I just want a trunk bag that is easily detachable and with a few pockets. Ibera and TopPeak do them and they are just what I wanted, but they need a matching rack and...

I want to plug my iPhone 5c (with lightning connector) into my Bosch Intuvia unit. This means I need a lead with a male Micro USB connection on one end and a lightning connector on the other. Has anyone found such a lead? I can't seem to find one anywhere. I know I can manage it with various...

Just taken delivery of my Kalkhoff Pro Connect B10 with Bosch 500 battery, test report to follow. There seem to be some different ideas around about how to look after the battery. The only thing that everyone seems to agree on is that they shouldn't be stored fully charged for long periods of...

when I "rode" an exercise bike I was always interested in the calorie count and most cycle computers have this. Are there any that work with an electric bike? I guess they would have to be integrated with the bikes systems, maybe something that will appear in the future?

Went to Wheelbase today, discovered that the boss was in my class - when I was a teacher! Had a good test ride on the Cube step through Touring and went to place an order for the stand out value of the range, the 500 with CX motor. Out of Stock! Chris is going to ring the factory tomorrow to see...

i've pretty well settled for a Cube step through, but am puzzled that there don't seem to be any British manufacturers, unless I've missed them? I'm surprised that Pashley aren't making E bikes, I'd have thought there step through would have been a suitable base. After all, you just need a small...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy my first electric bike. A friend has been talking about these for some time and has lent me one of his bikes, a Scott hybrid with a Bosch drive. It's a nice bike, and I've done a few miles around the lanes and up some decent sized hills. Today I went to try a...
