I have been using my wifes lifecycle folding bike for over a year now, loving the commute to work and taking the dog for a walk/run on it. I think its time to buy my own or is it? I have a Trek 7.2 Hybrid which has sat in the shed for the last 12 months unused, before going in there it had...

Purchased for my wife as it was the only bike small enough for her to get onto, we have now found that she can also get onto an alpine sport (if the seat is changed). I have also used the bike for commuting to work and in total it has covered just over 100 miles in the 4 months we have owned...

Can anyone recommend and insurance company which insure bikes just found out our household insurance (halifax) will not cover our bike.

Can anyone recommend an insurance company so I can cover our ebike. Just found out that halifax insurance does not cover them at all. not even to teh standard value of £500. :(

On our traveller I am maxing out at about 20mph before I am peddling like an idiot. Is it likely that a bigger bike (one with 26" wheels) will have a better top speed or is the gearing on all electric bikes such that they will never keep up with a hybrid. The answers to this might make me...

Well got to say 100miles on and still happy with the lifecycle traveller. Had its first propa trip for a while today (to work) and had forgotten how much of a blast it was to cycle. Really got to get my own ebike sorted and stop using the wifes. :D

Spent a little time looking at bikes today as I am in the market for one for myself rather than riding my wifes. Looked at the A2B Metro I don't mean to upset anyone but how heavy! I never got an offer of a test ride but just trying to move the thing in the shop was hard. Am I over...

I know its going to have many variables but can anyone shed some light on how long a bike battery should last? we have 1 ebike and love using it so no considering our options for a second. but money does not grow on trees so might be better just having 1 if the battery will need replacing...

I am thinking of building my own trailer. 1. Will an ebike be ok towing a trailer? It will be just for light stuff back and forth to the allotment. 2. Does anyone have any ideas how I can connect a trailer to the bike buying the connections seem to be expensive if not impossible to find -...

Can someone offer me some guidence to what is probably the simplest of questions ever asked. I have a electric bike with 20" wheels and am thinking of buying another. Will a bike with 26/700c wheel have a higher top speed than that of one with 20" I know the gears will play a part but...

I have done a few trip to work but trying to get into a routine or charging the battery (Lithium) My question is am i best just charging the battery every night or waiting for the end of the 3rd trip and charge at work (not worried about cost of electric more worried about keeping the battery...

I have had the offer of this trailer(£15) sadly the owner has lost the bar which connect the tailer to the bike, do you guys think it will be easy enough to rig something up from a caster and metal bar? Oh its not for carrying kids, possibly for the dog but mainly to carry tools and stuff back...

Now I have ventured into ebike ownership I am hooked, our first bike is actually my wifes but I do use it for commuting to work. The next stage is for me to either buy a bike for myself or convert my Trek 7.2 FX. Has anyone converted this bike before? Is it a simple process to convert a...

Got our new bike sunday - LifeCycle Traveller Folding Electric Bike. Only had chance to check everything is in good order - small adjustment of the brakes followed by a run around the block. First impressions are good pulls well, if you turn left out of our street it up hill straight away...

Can anyone explain what all the buttons and lights mean, got myself a life cycle but no manual. Cheers John

Just a quick one does anyone share their electric bike with another person? My wife is 5'5" and I am near 6', thinking of buying a good step through bike which I can use for commuting and then the wife can use when needed. However is the hight difference going to make this impracticable...
