    Help! Touring Spain: Charging Points

    Have tried searching the threads but can't find anything recent about nationwide charging points in the UK or Spain. I can see a short lived attempt at identifying points in 2012 but nothing recent. Anyone tried finding charging points in Spain - or the UK close to the Channel ports?

    Quick Question: Rockrider EMTB Battery

    I have a RR EST- 900 but it's in Spain at the moment. Need to ship it back (minus battery) but can't find details of the battery's weight in any Decathlon literature. Courier won't take the bike if it is over 20kg. It's 22.3kg with the battery so I'm guessing it might be close if the battery is...

    Frame Locks - 27.5+ tyres

    Purchased an ABUS frame lock and stupidly forgot to check the dimensions. It wouldn't fit over the 27.5/2.8 tyres on my ebike. Luckily I was able to use it on my regular 27.5 bike which I use for shorter journeys. So I don't make the same mistake again, has anyone fitted a frame lock to theirs.

    Wattage conundrum

    .. or where did those watts go. Purchased an additional battery to extend the riding range and ran into a problem. Wonder if the sparks wizards can explain my conundrum. The bike uses a 500W /36v / 14ah system. I purchased an additional [compatible] battery 420W /36v / 11.6 ah. From the first...

    Objects in mirror MAY BE closer than they appear

    Have just purchased a Garmin Varia rearview radar (£169) rather than a mirror at 99p. Clearly it's a non-contest except the Varia is far more intuitive than a human using a mirror. Deliberately travelled at rush hour which in these Covid times is not as busy as might be but the idiots are...

    How do your store your e-bike?

    I usually store my non e-bike on a wall mounted rack similar to the one shown below. But given the weight of e-bikes the wall or rack may not be up to it. Anyone have the (almost) perfect solution to storing these.

    Spare battery, High capacity or dual battery bike?

    I am sorely tempted by a R & M dual battery eMTB but for some reason my OH looked shocked when I told her it is just £6K. As I do a lot of bikepacking (unpowered), I'm looking towards getting some sort of assistance by using anE-MTB...
