Hello all, We have the above folding ebike - it is not used much but I like to take it out for a ride every months or so to keep it working and make sure the batter pack doesn't drop charge to a bad level Generally I take it out for a ride until the charge level on the led display is quite low...

on another forum that has an ebike secion - someone has posted that Wisper are fitting a throttle to their new ebikes now - I cannot say that he has a wonderful reputation - but he does seem to know stuff about ebikes mostly but some of the conversation seems to say that a throttle that...

Hi all My Carrera Crosscity-e has a problem. SOme time ago I noticed that the brake cutoff on the rear brake had stopped working. Basically I could brake with just the rear brake and the motor just keeps pushing forward. Pull the front brake and it stops immediately. Anyway - I was fiddling...

Hi all My Motus has developed a creak. Certainly not the saddle as the bolt holding it on broke last week and I had to ride back standing up (which is harder than you would thinkl!) I think it happens when I put pressure on the left pedal - especially if I am pushing hard - but it is not...

Hi all Last year I changed houyse insurance when I discovered that the current Tesco house insurance specifically excluded all ebikes - of any value so they would happily cover your £3000 road bike - but not a £700 ebike - madness maybe this has changed by now but anyway I changed So - this...

Sorry - bit of a rant Anyway - went for a ride late afternoon - road from this estate goes nicely downhill for a while which gets my legs spinning Then it goes flat for a while until it reaches a roundabout As this is an ebike forum - obviously I was riding an ebike - and as usual - I was at or...

Hi all, I have an old Powacycle Salisbury which has been great - however, now that I have bought my wife a modern carrera I can compare the old and new feature. The only thing that I miss on my old bike is the power selector. I go along canal paths and footpaths a lot and sometimes the power...
