    Searching on Google for electrifying information on the Di Blasi folding trike and I found myself back on this forum and a most interesting write-up on converting an R32 to electric power. I had considered this myself as a possible way of arranging for a lower cost class 3 invalid carriage with...

    Sticky: Businesses - PLEASE READ

    In the run-up to the apparent comersilation (no objection) of the forum could I request that traders identify themselves unambiguously in their posts. It comes as a surprise when a customer recognises a member as a business. A number of members are thoughtful enough to append a list of the...

    Tyre Savers for puncture prevention.

    Has anyone thought of using these old fashioned tyre savers? This is a quote from the link below. "Over a period of several years I used to commute from Watford into central London, averaging 4000 miles yearly, being rarely troubled by the puncture bug. I am sure the reason for this was...

    Theft deterrent?

    Would it be reasonable to take more assertive action to prevent the theft of bicycles? A normal weak and wimpy motion alarm could be fastened to the handlebars, to remind any owner with poor short term memory that the alarm is active. Unauthorised movement of the bike over a timed period could...

    For personal use I have tended to operate on a Permanently Temporary basis ~ a low tech, low input solution as a prototype that may remain in use for a couple of decades. Watch this space?

    ECO Bike, Monark with Panasonic

    While searching the web for information on the lightweight Gitane E-Bike 8 I found a model which is visually very similar. I spoke to an enthusiastic and very helpful Mr. Paul Moor who assured me that the bike was in stock and that they are happy to sell to the trade. He directed me to a part...

    Recommended Dealers

    I was very disappointed when the sticky "Complaints" thread was removed, it allowed both sides to score points, feints, dodges and we had ringside seats. In its place might I suggest a sticky "Recommended Dealers" thread and I would like to start it off. Electric Cycles from the Electric...

    Insurance

    I was delighted to read about the ways that people enjoyed Presteigne but am concerned about the attitude shown to insurance and risks. Perhaps someone with knowledge of the subject could offer information on what is covered by existing cycle Personal Liability insurance policies and...
