Got my hands on a mint condition Torq MkI. ;) Original 50 cycles battery useless as expected, but at the least the Vendor advertised as such, so the price properly reflected it. The fuzzy photo on ebay didn't do the bike justice, it is in excellent nick. One thing though, although this is...

Hi I recently purchased the above from ebay> long story short, didn't expect to win it for the rather derisory bid (imho) Picked it up, it's in great condition, but it's a 56cm frame, and it's just too big for my 29in inseam. It has proper Shimano SPDs, ultra lightweight mudguards and...

Hi i wondered if anyone could offer any advice re the above. Basically, the 16k service is due and my local independents are quoting 6-8 hours labour if they check the valves. So with parts etc, this will be very costly. Googling the subject brings up lots of different opinions, and lost...

Hi Has anybody got one they want to sell? I used to have one, but it was stolen, and althoogh I replaced it with a mk ii, I never really liked it. Have been looking on eBay, but sellers seem unrealistic in their descriptions/price expectations. Battery condition far less important than the...

Hi Well my horrible commute has finally got to me. Hindhead tunnel, soaring price of fuel, economics and raging sciatica which is exacerbated greatly by the drive. I had previously looked at bike/train commuting but my existing bikes will fall foul of the train companies cycle policies...

I have been investigating the feasibility (or otherwise) of doing my horrible commute by train/ebike. As a result of the demise of the guard's van, I realise that the only way that this will work is if I get a folder. Since the economics dictate that it will entail a 32 mile daily cycle...

Hi I was musing the other day on the people I have met and conversed with since I took up e-biking. My perception is that in general (with some rather acute exceptions) the people I have met have been enlightened, interesting and generally rather astute individuals. This got me to...

I am absolutely gutted. I finally managed to get out for a proper cycle yesterday. I locked my bike to a proper bike post with a £50 D lock. I was only gone an hour or so, when I came back, all there was was the closed lock still locked to the bar. I cannot for the life of me work out how they...

Yes, that would be me. I have been suffering with poor performance on my Ezee lipoly for sometime now. Actually from the get go, culminating in complete failure. It never actually occurred to me that the remedy was in my own hands. On the advice of Andy from onbike, I followed all the...

My previous post re Ezee Lipoly refers. I don't seem to be making any headway at the moment. Does anyone have Wai Won's contact details please? Regards Nick

Hi I went for a cycle today, and my li-poly just died onme. It didn't die in the way my previous li-ion died. It's as though it has the power, it just can't deliver the necessary current. Forgive me 4 putting it so ineloquently but I don't know how else to describe it. The motor will run fine...

No, nothing to do with messrs Clarkson et al. The gear cable on my Torq1 has come away from the shifter, although the cable itself seems OK. Had a quick look, but I cannot work out how it might be reattached to the shifter. Tried google but no joy there. Is this a relatively easy DIY or does...

Anyone come across these before? Protanium - Elecric transportation - good vibration

Hi I am considering buying a cradle to mount my Iphone on my bike(s). There is seemingly a bewildering array of choices (with prices to match) I need a solution that is easily transferable between my bikes,which includes a non electric racer with very thick bars. Can anyone recommend a...

I have seen several posts on here to the effect that seeing any other e-bikes is rare, and I have commented that I see quite a few. This mornings sighting really does merit a comment. I was out walking the dogs, and about 200 yds from my house I spotted an e-bike. As I got closer, I could see...

I read time and again about the two year life expectancy of these batteries. I have a question therefore. I have two batteries, and in line with the advice given, I almost always carry both of them, and when I get where I am going, I swap them over, thereby reducing the strain on each. My...

Gotta get one of these... YouTube - The fastest e-bike. Speed 120km/h ( 75mph)

Came across this video: Can it really be made this simple... Any thoughts from the more technically minded? YouTube - 3:24! Fastest electric bike conversion kit in the world.

Hi - looking for advice for a friend. I recently converted a friend of mine to the joys of e-biking. He was totally smitten by the more powerful hub motors (he loved my derestricted torq 1) and pretty much money is no object for him. I think I will recommend the forthcoming hi-spec wisper...

Hi The 'ignition' key on my Torq has snappped off in the barrel. I have managed to turn it off with some pliers, but so far my attempts to extract the remnants of the key (albeit only with tweezers/pliers) have proved unsuccessful. Does anyone have any advice on how to extract, eg a suitable...
