I have been using a Satmap 10 with the whole of UK OS Landranger map card for well over 8 years now. At the time I was regularly cycling 50+ mile routes and wanted to keep the mobile phone for the potential emergency call - of course technology has moved on. Using the OS App I plan and then...

Halfer I suppose it all depends on what 'floats your boat' The bike has been purchased and the money long gone - I ride it for recreation and fitness - if it breaks I either pay or it is warranty - I have no interest in how things work, I just want them to work!. Whatever happens I cant see, for...

I am not really into all the technical 'stuff', I just wanted to go riding, so all I can say is that what was on the bike when I purchased it works fine. The front forks are fixed carbon with no suspension and seem pretty effective at dealing with vibration, of course I am only road riding. My...

I posted after 1500km of riding and now a further 2000km and ten months later I can report that my initial findings hold good. I ride for leisure, only on roads and my trips are typically in the 30 - 50 mile range. The bike has continued to deliver everything that I wanted with the waist line...

The answer is to try it but have your own version of International Rescue on standby! I use Thunderbird 8 - aka the good lady wife - who either shadows the ride (for example if we are going on holiday and I choose to cycle part of the trip) or just phone in if a problem. Or take your charger...

I use a Satmap 10 with their whole UK map card ( a recent and dramatic drop in price allowed me to upgrade from the Central England map card) It gives me all the data I require (average moving speed, time cycling , total time total ascents and allows routes to be pre-set). Probably does loads...

As a late 50's asthmatic recreational road rider on my Neo Carbon I average 12 - 13 mph. I cycle around 50 miles each trip and whilst I have no doubt the bike is capable of much more I do like to 'smell the roses' on the way! These trips have on average total climbs c.2500'.

If you follow this link you might find something to help. Buy BreezeBlockers I used the 'Storm' last winter and they certainly helped

Having been ebiking for 5 years, my average ride distance is 20 - 45miles and I average 12 - 13mph - recently nearer the 13mph following upgrade to Neo Carbon. I like to smell the roses on the way!

BH EMOTION CARBON – FIRST 1500km REVIEW I have nearly completed 1500km of riding on my new Neo Carbon and thought it a good time to report my findings. By way of background I am just past my mid fifties, cast a decent shadow and suffer from viral asthma and have found bike riding good for...

Hi I have the Emotion Neo Carbon and run on Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres - 1.75 I think. Purely a road rider - furthest journey so far is 65 miles with only bar used - BUT - the first 30 miles were across the Fens where no assist was used!! I use these as I like to ride 50+ miles each trip and...

I use the Satmap handle bar mounted device and have done so for over 4 years - pre 'app age'!! It was, and probably still is quite expensive, however it does the job that you are looking to get done. I prefer to use the Satmap so that I keep my phone battery intact in case I have to call...

Not a special edition however because of it's price point I don't think they expect to sell many in the UK so it is not really advertised. It was only in discussion with Martin at OnBike that I found out it was possible to obtain one in the UK. I bought it because 'I'm worth it'!! (as they...

Taff - my apologies, I only half answered you, I live in North Warwickshire

No - it is the NEO Carbon - not many around in the UK!! Have a look at this link - The BH Emotion NEO Carbon E Bike Review - Video Dailymotion Just about says it all.

I have just completed the first 500km on my BH Emotion NEO Carbon - last two trips were both 60 miles+ and 2000' of climb and only used first chunk and a bit on the battery monitor. I ride without any power for as much as possible and found the lowest setting more than enough to get up some...

Just picked up on this thread. The whole legal / illegal issue is not a problem until it is! Say you are on your illegal ebike and involved in an accident which proves to have been your fault, victim is maimed for life and awarded substantial damages - which could run to millions. Your bike is...

I am 55 and not aerodynamically friendly and ride an Alpino 906 for recreational riding - usually around 50 miles a time - and use Gore Bike Wear. Lightweight, comfy, breathable. There is no doubt that good gear just makes the journey so much nicer.

Around 18 months ago I sold my two year old Wisper 905 Sports on ebay - so I could purchase the 906. I worked on the basis that the buyer, not having any real idea of the state of the battery, would buy on the basis of having to purchase a new one. I deducted the price of a new battery from...

I have ridden my Wisper 906 Alpino (front wheel motor) for over a year - recreational riding covering c.2500 miles - and have had no falling off problems. In fact I have had no problems at all!!
