    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    Having had my car (2.5litre V6 Rover 75) converted to LPG about 3 years ago to reduce travelling costs to work (8.5 miles urban each way) I have recently bought a Powacycles Salisbury LPX to use a couple of days a week when I don't have have to drop my toddler off at nursery on the way to work...

    Drunk & in charge of a COW !

    This brings to mind something I learnt very early on in my early driving days (and yes, Im talking a while ago now!).... I was told that under UK law, there are only 2 things you cannot be charged with being drunk in charge of... 1. Horse and carriage 2. A Boat Believe it or not, you CAN be...

    Best Commuter/Tower for under £1k?

    I do have another bike - a Schwinn Moab 1, hardtail (front suspension only) but although I did originally consider converting it to electric, have decided that I want to keep that as a 'bike' bike and get an EB as a 'commuter vehicle' bike (if that makes sense) Ideally I want a full...

    Another cyclist seriously injured

    Frank, what made me laugh was that when you go to the article about the offender with the bike being brought to court, there is a link about a Telegraph blog titled "How do you have sex with a bicycle"... the link goes nowhere, so I guess we'll never know (although those who feel they HAVE to...

    Another cyclist seriously injured

    Ok, so here's some statistics for you: If you ride a bike you have a higher risk of being involved in an injury when you're out on your bike compared to the chances of someone who never rides a bike having the same accident. You have a 1 in 10 chance of being involved in a cycling accident...

    Best Commuter/Tower for under £1k?

    Have up to 1,000 to spend on an electric bike. Need it to commute to work a few days a week (max 10 miles each way on fairly flat ground) as well as to tow a child trailer (tow hitch mounts over rear axle bolt on left hand side, so need access to that) Would ideally like front or full...

    Hello, I'm new!

    Bob, thanks for the info. I've been looking at your website and although I can see pictures of the right hand side, can't see any of the left. Is the rear wheel a standard nut on the left hand side of the bike, or is there a wire (like with so many other electric rear hub bikes I've come across)...

    Hello, I'm new!

    Bob - I'm about 14 stone, my son is 15kg. My commute journey is about 8.5 miles each way (fairly flat) and would be looking at going round local forests (Rendlesham, Therford etc) which have proper tracks for walking/riding. I'm really interested to get a throttle option as we have no showers at...

    Hello, I'm new!

    Hi all, I'm Mike from Ipswich. Currently I ride a fully pedal powered Schwinn Moab1 but am looking for an electric bike to commute and to give assistance towing my son. I'm completely new to electric biking but want to learn, hence I'm here.
