    Surprise Surprise Number plates etc

    Surprise surprise, as sure as the sun rises and sets they are using the recent events to further clamp down on any kind of personel transport. They are using these idiots running around with illegal e-bikes, motorbikes etc and using it as an excuse. Nothing to do with these 15 minute cities or...

    Woosh Rambletta Rear panniers

    Looking for recommendations on a rear pannier set for the woosh rambletta. The rear rack looks short as in top of rack to bottom mount. A small set would be ok, as my wife’s current set up is an embarrassment and my bag is full. And the parking for my bike leaves a lot to be desired ! .

    Isle of Cumbrae electric bikes

    Myself and my wife have just cycled round the Isle of Cumbrae, her in her woosh Rambletta and me on my normal bike. Last time we done this was about 6 years ago. Last time we never seen a single electric bike. This time apart from the hire bikes I reckon about 30-40% were electric. Even a load...

    Hello again

    Hello everyone, it’s been nearly 11 years since I bought my first e-bike a trek fx + with the bionx system. It was a great bike but eventually the battery died and the cost was ridiculous for a replacement. Fortunately my knee had healed and I have been using normal bikes. But fast forward 11...

    Importance of cadence

    Hello Guys, Found myself at a loose end today so tried out a small experiment out of curiosity. Done my usual training circuit of 4 miles with a killer hill. For quickness I only done one lap per run. Before my knee had healed my cadence was way down about 40-50 mark so pretty low. Currently I...

    Are Electric bikes any good or too good

    Ok guys, its time we had some hard evidence exactly what these levels of assist exactly mean. I know we can not compare the different systems as they assist in different way but we can compare assist levels to some level. A bit simplistic but say a level of assist of 30% should be the same as...
