Just made a 800+ miles round trip to enjoy the scenery in Scotland and to visit East Neuk Campervans in Anstruther, Fife (just north of Edinburgh). I have always been interested in the link between e-bike owners and campervans as many members of the forum seem to enjoy both. The van comes with...

Today I was overtaken by a scooter near the beginning of my journey and stayed with it for six miles though town traffic. I have often made a note of a car or lorry whilst cycling and wondered if, 15 miles later, I would beat it into, or out of, London. Trouble is, I always get involved with the...

I recently took my bike into my LBS for new crank bearings. They were a little cautious at first but thanks to a quick call to Andrew at OnBike I could reassure them that a standard replacement would be OK. £70 paid for this, new magura pads and a new rear disc brake cable. I did not take my...

I bought my ebike for a number of reasons, and to be honest reducing my carbon footprint was low down on my list. However I had a thought cycling past all the stationary cars with their engines running this evening - we must be helping - but I have no facts. How much energy does it take to...

As an avid reader of this forum I have read many posts advising prospective ebike purchasers to try out bikes from as many ebike makers as possible. I have also read that different bikes will suit different terrains and riding styles. I have always agreed in theory although I thought the idea...

I made a round trip to OnBike outside Kidderminster today for a number of reasons. Firstly, as I have previously posted, my lights failed recently and last week my bottom bracket developed an ominous click every revolution. Needing some professional advice I rang OnBike and arranged to...

I am in the process of buying a chair lift and was visited today by a potential supplier. I was informed the chair lift is powered by batteries at all times but that these are trickle charged whilst the chair lift is at rest in the stored position. I was then amazed to learn that lead acid...

My eZee Forza lights failed last night as I switched the battery off. I think there was a flash from the front light (as I would not have noticed otherwise). I immediately switched the power back on but neither light would work. It was dark so I did not look closely at the lights until this...

One day last week I decided to vary my route from work and ended up cycling into a hole in a cycle lane created by resurfacing the road around a grid. The road was busy and the dip was just after a bend so I was unsighted. The result was a busted rear wheel rim and punctured inner tube. As...

I visited CyclePoint this afternoon to pick up a new battery and Rhys spent some time showing me the treasures they have. Apart from his locally made skinny bike which he is gong to add an e-kit, and WaiWon Ching's last bike (for sale) Rhys demostrated the eZee kit. I have long been a...

I am considering buying a plastic garden shed for storage and for tinkering with bikes. I see that some have floors and some don't. I am looking at a size of about 7 to 8 foot square. The reason I am looking at plastic is because my present wooden shed is dying and anythihg stored there becomes...

I have recently scrapped my spare ebike; an old but previously reliable powabyke. I had intended to buy a 2nd hand replacement but have just had three neck vertabrae fused (explaining the strange waking hours) and now have to stick to lighter ebikes and batteries. I have two used batteries...

All I work in a large London Borough and we are building an Annexe to our Town Hall. Following another thread about providing secure cycle racks I contacted the architects and have been invited to a meeting next week to look at the plans for a 220 bike storage facility and the design and...

Can anyone help? I cycle to work, 30 miles each way each day, using two/three batteries, and store them in an Ezee pannier which just fits two batteries. When swapping batteries I have caught the slighty raised external fuse casing of one battery with the other battery, and broken it. I have...

Maybe Flecc knows? Yesterday, at the finish line of the London-Brighton Veteran Car Rally I saw a number of vehicles which could be called three-wheeler cars or tricycles. Some were plainly bikes with petrol engines, others had bodywork and could be the forerunner of the Trotters Independent...

Hi Reading new posts with comments about past problems relating to the condition of bikes that were delivered, I wondered if some of the problems members have experienced relate to the fact that they have to carry out “simple” assembly work on bikes that are delivered, as against collecting a...

I cannot always leave my ezee forza (or powabyke) under cover at home or at work. I have looked at ebay, halfords, and internet sites, and am confused. Can any one suggest a reasonably priced not too large or too heavy cycle cover I can carry with meI don't want one that will tear easiy as it...
