    Full suspension TREK EX5

    Fully crash tested. It has high density foam padding . I also wear body armour. Battery is flattish and custom made by Ping 36v and 10AH. Best bit is cycling along green lanes with motorcycle chums from the TRF and staying with them; on the gentler byways anyhow. Also overtaking roadies uphill :-)

    11ah Water Bottle Battery Question

    I've been looking for a bottle battery to compliment the rectangular flat rack type battery I have. As I use a mountain bike for mainly off road type usage I've put this in a small rucksack and lengthened the wire. 36V 10 AH is enough for 20 miles of mixed off-roading on a mixture of trails and...
