Hello all, I reappear like a bad Penny...jokes aside....I still haven't bought a replacement E bike since my Gepida Reptilla battery and bike died. I live in a hilly area and use a sit up a beg style bike. I have seen a good price online for a bike that is a rear hub motor and I'm concerned...

Has this been discussed before? Thanks, Penny

Hello, I haven't posted for few years. My Hungarian electric bike has been slowly getting old with bits falling off it. Then I became long-term ill. The first year I powered up the battery every month. The second year I kept forgetting and....yep, it died. No point getting a new battery as was...

......I pop in with a non electric bike related question. Cue stones and rotten tomatoes at the ready. I hope you don't mind if I ask this question. I obviously have an electric bike, still going strong - well, showing its age now, but I've been unwell and want to get some strength back by...

Can anyone put me straight on this conundrum? I'm still unclear after years of owning an electric bike, whether its safe for the bike to be out in the rain? I've been careful/wary not to go out in the rain or anything more than light drizzle but now I'm hoping to be more than a fair weather...

Hello fellow pedalars and throttlers ;) Anyone here used a car tow bar bike carrier with their ebikes? Especially the Thule type.

Hello, Sorry to not post for a while then pop in when I'm having a crises - so I hope you'll forgive me. The day I've been dreading has come - my beloved Gepida Reptilla 1000 is misbehaving. Its a crank driven Hungarian made bike. There is a noise coming from the crank but it sounds like the...

Is there an UK National Electric Bike day? If not, why not? ;oP To change people's perceptions. Be great to pick the nearest weekend and have two events - a north and south ride/parade. Just a thought.

After asking the knowledgeable people on here in January I bought some clothing/items for cycling in cold/rain/wind etc. In the end I found an amazing jacket on sale - it was a walking jacket - I bought a mostly white one (to be seen - didn't want dayglo yellow as I dont cycle in the dark)...

If anyone is on Facebook, look up Gepida, as they have new photos of their fab new Gepida street charging stations. Looks fab!!

Oh dear. Haven't been on the bike for a couple of months since the weather changed. So not only have I turned into a fair weather cyclist but now a chunky one, coz I'm piling the pounds back on. So, to encourage me to continue cycling when the weather is not so beautiful, what items of...

Just pumped my back tyre up (actually Mr. Penny Farthing pumped it for the first time with the same pump etc I use) and air started hissing out of the valve (is that the correct term?). It won't stop hissing and of course its deflated now. Why would a valve do that? All suggestions...

If you purchase a Gepida electric bike and register your purchase on their Hungarian website within one month, you are guaranteed a lifetime guarantee on the frame. I wasn't told this when I bought it, I found it on the website myself. Not sure if that is common or not but thought it worth...

Have you seen this new Bike clip on YouTube? You really must watch it to the very end! YouTube - ‪bike lanes‬‏

I am delighted to no longer have to walk up hills pushing my bike and I'm getting fitter quickly. I've re-found muscles I forgot I had and am only using the motor/battery when I need to. One happy electric cyclist. :O)

Just posting this in case it helps those still looking for a bike - however, the report is from 2009 - so it won't help everyone. Its on the Extraenergy.org website. Click on the link and at the bottom of the page on the link, you select 'Test results for 2009' then you have to enter your...

I have Shimano Nexus 8 gears on my new electric bike. The gears slipped a bit when I first rode it but today they slipped a lot. I guess they need tweaking as they are new? I searched the www and found out if you put it into number 4 gear you should see two yellow marks on the back wheel/hub...

After months of deliberation, anxst, asking you lovely people, reading, researching, test riding, changing my mind etc, I have found the bike for me. Weirdly, I knew all along I wanted a 28" large wheel, (like my beloved non Ebike) and was adamant of that, until I test rode a 28" bike, but...

I recently read on here about a cycle security lock that (alegedly) deflects power tools. If I remember correrctly it cost £25. I have searched and searched this morning but cannot find the post about it. Anyone know what it is? Many thanks, Penny
