    Smell from Battery?

    I keep our bikes in the conservatory. It does not get very hot. I notice a smell in the mornings when I open up, I can't describe it but it's a bit like chemicaly rubbery smell. I thought it was the tyres but Mrs hallii ("The Bloodhound") says no, it's from the battery(s). There is no sign...

    Disabled bike rider

    I have been reading up on past posts and have done a bit of research elsewhere. From this I deduce that an e-bike cannot be a disabled scooter or whatever you want to call them, i.e. a "Type 2 or 3" mobility vehicle. There are various regs to comply with like 4mph or 8mph, lights horn and...

    Which bike lock?

    I need to lock two bikes on my motorhome bike rack, and of course to lamposts etc when we are out and about. Any suggestions for something chainlike that is not to heavy that the lowlifes can't cut with a butter knife? The Kryptonite range looks OK? Geoff

    Wanted two bikes

    They need to be lightweight (around 20 kgs) as they will go on my motorhome bike rack. 250w motors and Lithium batteries in good condition. I really want two the same so I will try for that first, if not I might go for two seperates. Hallii
