Digging into the massive combined knowledge on this forum, does anyone know of an eBike that meets this spec: Starting with the Big Ask : Weight at the lower end of the scale - ideally 20 Kg or even less for a size Small Step-through, Stagger/Trapeze frame Ladies model Crank drive motor...

Looking for feedback from anyone who has either of these models. I'm a bit worried whether the comparatively low powered motor would struggle on long steady climbs - say up to a couple of kilometres of mostly climbing with the occasional dip. I know everyone rides differently, and...

This is probably a naive question, but anyway ........ I'm wondering if it's worth the expense of changing to a full suspension MTB. Here's the situation: on our doorstep are forests that have miles and miles of rough tracks. Very rough, mostly layers of loose stones, some quite big . We...

I wonder if anyone here has had the same issue I've just experienced with the Shimano Steps E6000 on my Merida bike. Three or four weeks after its last use, I got my bike out ready to go for a ride. Slotted the computer display into its holder, pushed the button and - nothing. So of course...

I met a guy recently who told me that he'd been advised by a technician at the ebike retailer (50 Cycles) that it would be good practice to turn off the motor if cruising down a long downhill. He has a crank drive bike. Anyone got opinions on this? I'm no techie but couldn't think of any...

I'm planning a 4 month trip and will be leaving one bike and its battery at home. I was told that a battery has to be charged every so often, otherwise it's management system automatically shuts it down. And was also told that it won't just automatically come back to life when you next charge...

I know that it's best to recharge our two Li-on batteries after each use (unless the distance since last charge was tiny) and we do this. But when we're in the motorhome on trips, we often start a charging cycle, then have to pull the plug to use the socket for something else (e.g. boil kettle)...

Has any non-dealer (sorry, Martin - no offence intended) had a chance to try out the new Raleigh Motus yet? And if you have, what did you think? I live too far from Martin's shop to get down there to try it and I haven't found one anywhere close to me here in Scotland yet. I know it's a bit...

I bought a Kudos King not long after Kudos started out in ebike sales. I thought it was a good spec for the price although I did swap out a couple of parts in the first year. (Certainly light years better than its troublesome Powabyke predecessor). This year I noticed that the ends of battery...

I've done a quick search but can only find info on the London Show. Are there any other shows where I can try out a range of bikes - the further north the better, as I live North of the border ?

The last monthly magazine of the UK motor home club that I belong to published a rather scaremongering item about electric bikes. Essentially, it was a copy of an item from Motor Cycle News where someone who was involved in an accident was to be prosecuted for having an an illegal spec electric...

I was encouraged to see someone say recently that there's no such thing as a stupid question, so I'll push the boundaries of that theory with this one :D Take a hypothetical situation where you have a bike that has, say a 36V, 250W 6 Ah battery. And if you rode that bike on a certain day...

Having had a couple of problems with punctures with my current Powabyke, I'm thinking that I might need wider tyres. I'm trying to get my head round the issue of what tyres the tyre sizes mean. The Powabyke has 28"/700c tyres. I'm not clear what the 700c means? (It's close to 700 mm, but...

Hi All, New member here. My wife and I currently have a Powabyke each. We take them with us when we go caravanning. They're fine for normal road work, but we live on the edge of a hilly, Forestry Commission area in South Scotland and these bikes aren't really built for the stony...
