    So this was private land? You had the owner's permission? Or were you just breaking the law on an illegal bike? Colin

    Alarm Lock at Aldi - Sunday23rd Jan

    That statement is tempting fate. :eek: I have only ever had one incident and that was when somebody set fire to my motorbikes and stupidly stole the helmet and some tools from the top-box one night. It was easy for the police to spot him walking along a road half an hour or so later. Didn't...

    11000 watts/60 mph bike on ebay

    I have already discussed the bike with the police in Hampshire, including a demonstration of the off-road switch - the only time I have used the extra speed on the road. However, how can I turn myself in when I have done nothing illegal? Or are you once again implying that Wisper are knowingly...

    Also you had better contact the City of London Police - you can get them prosecuted can't you. You obviously know the legal status of the Wisper better than them. Colin

    I suggest you take that up with Wisper then. It is about them you are making your accusations about. Colin

    11000 watts/60 mph bike on ebay

    "does it really matter if an ebike can potentially exceed a limit of 15 mph by a few miles per hour more?" It is illegal. "Does it really matter that my fully charged battery is capable of propelling me to 17.5 mph if I judge that it is safe to do so?" It is illegal. Go to Germany where they...

    Alarm Lock at Aldi - Sunday23rd Jan

    Does anybody actually use the quick release skewers any more? My Wisper had one for the seat post that lasted about two minutes when I first got it home. Had I left it on then that is also about the same time it would have lasted when I parked the bike somewhere. The problem I find with D Locks...

    Alarm Lock at Aldi - Sunday23rd Jan

    How much does it weigh? My Abus is so heavy I have trouble picking it up, You don't have anything to secure the front wheel though - that is what I use the cable lock for: front wheel, saddle and through the battery handle and frame. Colin

    Alarm Lock at Aldi - Sunday23rd Jan

    Unfortunately, it won't take a lot of effort or time to cut through it, and I would only use it as a secondary lock. I always use two methods of locking the bike: a good "D" lock, or a heavyweight Abus chain lock, with a 1m Yale cable lock - different types giving different problems for the...

    Just what bit of "There is no such thing as "technically illegal"" is it that you don't understand? Colin

    11000 watts/60 mph bike on ebay

    There is no such thing as "technically illegal" or "just a bit illegal". Your bike is illegal - fact. Stop trying to defend the fact that you are riding an illegal bike and that everything is OK, because ignorance is no defence in law. Colin

    Battery Life?

    No you didn't, and as I posted - all you have to do is read the forum, or use the functions provided. One point about Juicy Bikes: the owner and administrator of this forum has posted on this forum informing members of a special offer from the company, so he obviously has no problem with them...

    You obviously don't have the intelligence to read the forum before posting. I know better than you. Colin

    11000 watts/60 mph bike on ebay

    I'm sorry, but to try to make this sort of comparison is total rubbish. Ebikes are not classed as motor vehicles. There is no tax, no compulsory insurance, no compulsory helmet, no licence needed to use a legal ebike on the road. That is the difference - but the continued abuse of the law by...

    11000 watts/60 mph bike on ebay

    Very well said. I am in 100% agreement. It won't just be power and throttles - it will be compulsory insurance and helmets, possibly for all cyclists, not just ebikes. Colin

    Mirror suggestions please

    It is OK combing SatNav and reversing camera on a single screen - you don't need the SatNav whilst reversing into a parking space. However in normal forward travel you need to be able to see your route on the SatNav and the ability to see what is behind you at the same time, and all of the time...

    Mirror suggestions please

    Who needs an old fashioned mirror - break it and you get seven years bad luck. Everybody needs one of these: Cerevellum They will cost a tiny bit more than conventional mirrors though. (a mere £155 approx). Colin

    No more punctures??

    Simples. It would free up vast quantities of air for the rapidly expanding world population to breathe. I dislike the idea that I am having to breathe second-hand air on many occasions already. What is the point of having this valuable resource trapped at high pressure in tyres/tubes where...
