    Action cameras

    I’m thinking about purchasing an action camera so that I can record some of my ebike activities. Does anyone have experience of these? What accessories would be needed to record a typical bike ride?

    Battery life

    Has anyone got experience of the battery life of electric bikes? I have a 500 Wh Bosch battery which place on charge after every use, which is about once or twice per week.
