    Ebike must have

    I would agree with this 100% for all ebike owners. In fact I think this is such an essential core skill in life these days it should actually be taught at schools. Knowing how to use a multimeter can save a small fortune. This week my kids Wii died, instead of £80 for a new one spent £5 on a...

    electric bike retailers are just businessmen

    I kind of agree on both sides, i think it is beneficial to have the dealers available to comment but it should be clear which members are dealers and who they represent.

    FreeGo Eagle

    1 month in to my Eagle ownership and I am delighted with my purchase (£1000), took a bit of time to get the brakes adjusted the way I like but that may just be me being fussy.

    Talking of stealing.

    Actually sawing through a 4x4 Oak post is not 2 minutes work without a chainsaw. My bike is parked out of line if sight but within easy earshot which is why I have gone for an alarmed lock as well as a fairly normal lock. The alarm goes off if the lock is moved and I can be there in 30 secs.

    Freego Eagle (2009 model) has arrived

    My first electric bike has arrived today. I opted for a Freego Eagle from 2wheelelectric. I plan on doing a full review after a couple of weeks but my initial impression is good. It feels nicely powerful and the build quality seems good. I had to adjust the gears but apart from that and fitting...

    Legal limit 200W or 250W can anyone explain in simple words

    Thanks for that, I did wonder why people were claiming 250W as "road legal" but it sounds like the usual slow grind of the law to catch up.
