    Which Dealer Would You Not Hesitate to Recommend?

    Hi all, Have to recommend OnBike, I ordered Cycle Analyst and although they were supposed to be closed for Christmas, my order was still dealt with. Order was placed at 12noon and arrived about 3 pm the next day. That's what you call service, well done OnBike. Marky T:)

    Do ebikers wind drivers up more?

    Frustration I put most of it down to frustration, I think a some drivers have never had a powerful motorbike or car, you know, left school, got drunk no money or will to do anything else, girl comes along feels sorry for him, they get married have kids, then middle age crisis kicks in, finds...

    Are You Really More Likely to Use Electric Bikes?

    Hi all, Before October 2009 I had not ridden a bike for about 15 years, then a workmate got a E-Bike. After having a quick ride on it, I wanted one. I absolutely love my E-Bike and wouldn't part with it for anything, I am lucky enough to only work about just over a mile away but I use it for...

    1st long run. 12 miles to cut out.

    I think that's about spot on Pob, I run a 36v 9Ah on my bike and the last time I charged it my CA was reading that I'd done 27miles, averaged 12.3mph and drawn 6.5Ah. Marky T.

    1st long run. 12 miles to cut out.

    Hi Blackpanther, What Ah is the battery? I can get about 27-35miles out of my 9Ah but that's on lowest assist and only using throttle now and again and putting a reasonable effort in myself, having said that I am by no means very fit. I don't believe the leds will ever be accurate, due to the...

    battery condition

    Hi, I've just installed the CA on my bike and its a top piece of kit. This unit tells you everything what you need to know about your battery's performance. Providing you reset it after each charge, it will monitor Ah, Wh drawn, realtime amps, watts, Wh used per mile/km everything. Out of my...

    Think my charger has failed?

    Hi Synthman, Sorry to hear about that, there's always something to zap your money. Is the bike cutting out now when you ride it? I say this because I had a problem a few weeks ago, it turned out to be one of the battery cells. Marky T

    hanging up my battery for a while

    Seems a shame Mussels,:( was the commute the main reason you had the bike? What about leisure riding? Marky T

    -6 But Needs Must...

    Thanks Eddieo, Yes it is a shame, personally I've always thought that the Rush Trek was one of the better looking E-bikes. I intend to look after it the best I can and hope it pays me back with the memories and good times I've had this past year, me and my 4 year old daughter. It's like this...

    -6 But Needs Must...

    Hi Allen, I've never had it go off for no reason at all, it takes 3 triple A batteries, which lasts about 2-3weeks. There is a sensetivity adjuster and it comes with a remote keyfob. I've found it ideal for guarding the bike if you're just nipping into a shop and are within running distance to...

    Cheers NRG, On the way back home I saw a man with a dog, A BIG DOG, which wasn't on a lead, anyway it started jumping about and barking, then started running toward me, I stopped and just tried to be nice to it as it closed in and luckely it didn't take my arm off. The owner came up to me and...

    -6 But Needs Must...

    Thanks Oxygen Bicycles, I try to keep the bike in absolutely mint condition, the console on the handlebars is the CA, which I installed Christmas Eve. You may also note the excellent Remote, motion detection alarm at the base of the battery guide, it is really loud. Marky T

    -6 But Needs Must...

    Hi all, Last night I made the decision, I must get up early and test my recently installed Cycle Analyser. I woke about 6:45 to find temp' about -6, anyway out and onward I thought, I'll test my heated gloves and thermal socks out, which had been dropped off by Santa. Out and about I soon found...

    Cycle computer recommendations.

    Hi Blackpanther, I've just purchased the Cycle Analyst, not cheap but probably the best computer/battery analyser available, designed for E-Bikes. Worth a look. See OnBike link. Marky T

    OnBike, Top Service.

    Hi all, Just like to thank OnBike for fast service. Ordered a Cycle Analyst yesterday about 12 noon, and received it today at 4pm. The Kidderminster shop was supposed to be closed, but my order was still dealt with. Thank you very much, that's what you call good customer service. Thanks...

    How Not to Get Hit By Cars

    I suppose whatever form of transport that becomes mainstream will have inherent problems, I guess, in any case it comes down to mental attitude and respect of the individual, still I would think, accidents between two E-bikes would tend to be less dangerous, than say an E-bike hitting or being...
