    Brake squeal

    I have no need for a bell/horn on my Ebike, the damn brakes make enough noise when applied! New pads about 100 miles ago and both front and back brakes make a hell of a din when applied strongly. Any solutions? Ta Z

    Throttle query

    My brother just bought 2 x Batribke Gamma X's. 100Nm motor! OK - so I'm lost when it comes to the use of a throttle on this Ebike when it is a pedal assist ebike just like many others but it also allows the use of the throttle to ramp up the power. The bike is still limited to 15mph together...

    Puncture on rear wheel on electric bikes!

    It was bound to happen sooner or later...and today, in the middle of nowhere...it did. Back tyre flat. Never repaired a puncture on an Ebike before and due to the gadgets and sticky out bits on my handlebars, I couldn't tip the bike upside down. So I;m left with a 27Kg bike and no main stand...

    Ebike car racks

    Don't want to pay silly money for those tow hook ebike racks - outrageous. Want a rear carrier rack that attaches to the boot of a normal saloon car that will take only ONE Ebike. Any advice - gratefully received please? Z
