    10,000 Mile on Panasonic 26V, now 5000 Miles on a Bosch CX

    Been around e Bikes for a long time now, what a truly fabulous, useful and generally wonderful vehicle. I did just over 10,000 miles on my Kalkhoff Aggatu before selling it, and today cleared 5000 miles on my Cube Reaction Pro 500 fitted with a Bosch CX motor. Outside of routine maintenance NO...

    Does getting an e-bike mean you eventually give up "conventional" bikes??

    I think you can build a superb level of cycle fitness with an E Bike, using my Bosch in Eco setting which is most of the time, is about the same as using a conventional lightweight bike like my Pro Carbon = 8kg. With the old Panasonic system the cadence you had to use was far too low, for...

    Does getting an e-bike mean you eventually give up "conventional" bikes??

    I have gone the other way. Did just over 10,000 miles on a 26v Panasonic powered Kalkhoff Aggatu, now 5000 miles on a Cube Hardtail with a Bosch CX motor which i still have. However over the last 2 years i bought a Genesis Tour De Fer and Planet X Pro Carbon road bikes, and have been doing much...

    50 Miles on the non electric bike tonite

    Just completed a 50 mile ride on my non electric bike tonite. What i noticed immediately is on the flat not much difference, downhill not much difference, but the hills !!!!!. If the hills are gentle and even long, it is not so bad you just get into a groove, but when they are steep, the...

    New E Bike Ordered

    George That is very interesting what you say, because the Yamaha was my first choice, and that is only because after having nearly 30 Japanese motorbikes over the last 36 years, and predominantly driving Japanese cars, i think that the Japs are master engineers, as touch wood i have never had...

    New E Bike Ordered

    George i thought very carefully about what you said in your other post in reply to my post asking for information on a bike to replace the Kalkhoff Agattu that we have. To be brutally honest, i did not need this new bike as the Kalkhoffs are going fine, although the batteries are now 6 years...
