    Upgrading from a Swytch converted Brompton

    I was thinking of getting a Gazelle Grenoble C7+, which has a Bosch Active Line Plus middrive. It weighs 24.4kg. Obviously I'm not going to be carrying it upstairs but do you reckon it would be manageable enough to tip up onto its rear wheel, so it fits in the lift?

    Upgrading from a Swytch converted Brompton

    The Swytch Is surprisingly nippy but the battery is terrible and the Brompton doesn't feel the most stable at higher speeds, not to mention the potholes on the road and towpaths. I wanted a full size bike because I thought it might be more enjoyable riding in the evenings and weekends.

I'm looking for something with fat tyres, small enough to fit into a small elevator (175cm diagonal) and/or foldable, and with an upright seating position. The battery should last for at...

    Which ebike for under £1500?

    Hi all, I’ve recently been bitten by the ebike bug after converting my Brompton into an electric, and am now considering a full sized electric. I’ll be using the Brompton for commuting so the full size would be mainly for fun, but nothing too crazy. I mainly cycle along the path alongside the...
