I d on't know if this has been posted, but as I was once considering a Fiido I fish worth a look.

My super-dooper R & M Homage bike is off the road due to none functioning back brake. I chickened out of the trip to OnBike due to the virus and things and I am looking for a cheap folder. I'm tempted with MARTES Electric Folding Bike Fat Tire 20 4" with 48V 15Ah Lithium-ion battery, as seen on...

Riese & Muller Homage with Rohloff E14 I have just done 1,148 miles on the new bike, taken a longer than when I first had the Delite around seven years ago but I was a bit younger then. So how does it compare? A lot of improvements over the years noticeably the Bosch motor. It has much more...

Their advert seems a bit over done but if you want to sell something new I guess that is what happens. I may be in the market for a folder with a bit of assistance and this seems cheap enough, but is it to cheap? Not having any gears I wonder how it would climb the odd steep bits I might...

The Delite has been replaced with a Homage as I needed the electronic gear change. Arthritis in thumb & wrist made gear change painful. To some of extent the Haibike also so I need to find a new owner. It goes well as you would expect but its engineered for greater things than I have ever done.

It's been a while since last on here, things have changed. I am thinking of moving my Delite on to a new owner, never thought I would but a damaged hand is causing me gear change problems. It has 14,200 miles on the clock and the same battery. Still gets me 20 miles in my hilly ride. It's in...

This in this mornings Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/06/mayhem-montreal-snow-buses-cars-trucks-crash?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other I thought it could only happen here.

I've just gone back in time into the future on Radio4 Extra (Radio 7 that was). The Red Planet, takes me back to a dark kitchen listening via a radio extension. Ah, they were the days. Knocks spots of today's stuff.

I have just seen this http://electricbikereport.com/bimoz-e-bike-mid-drive-kit-video/ I would like to provide power to my Birdy but have yet found anything suitable. Would this work perhaps?

I like the idea of this bike but riding position looks odd. But then a lot of Americans seem to have ride like this, to many burgers & doughnuts maybe? http://www.cnet.com/news/folding-electric-bicycle-has-something-for-everyone/

We had recently posts about cold calls from the nuisance people ringing usually wanting to fix your computer or to get you money from the Banks and the like. I now have had a batch of folk wanting to sell me a funeral plan and they are persistent, despite me telling them I have enough to deal...

I'm having a few days off from bike riding which is a pity as I have almost reached 7000 miles on the Delite, I wanted to do this before using the Haibike for a while. So why the pause? Well on Tuesday, Lynn & I decided to ride the Monsal trail, from Buxton to Bakewell. Very nice it is and...

Just had this arrive, may be interesting to those who have saddle questions. http://blog.brooksengland.com/wps/videos/

For those who didn't think Ford designs the bikes. Look at http://evworld.com/focus.cfm?cid=285

Not a Ford fan myself but these prototypes look interesting. http://electricbikereport.com/ford-mode-flex-video/ Any comments?

I have no doubt this will be shot down but at least people are still trying to get things moving. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1098434_faradion-electric-bike-prototype-powered-by-sodium-ion-batteries

I have no doubt this unit isn't going to be as good as it first appears but thought it might fit my Birdy. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/add-e-simply-add-electricity-to-your-bicycle#/story

Amongst the items in today are the Bike Quick Fix Tyre Repair canisters. I used one of these when I had a rear puncture on my Delite. That was over 2500 miles ago, I'm convinced so I have been to get another half dozen, one for each wheel. Saves me having to swap things around when changing...

I have commented many times on these pages how I dislike derailleur gears and the reason I chose Rohloff on my other bike. There are over 6000 miles and only an oil change and still going as new. The new bike (Haibike XDuro all mtn pro) has just over 400 miles and it encouraged me to walk...

I would as I was an early start to give my new Haibike a good ride. Every thing was going well and decided to ride would up the steep track through the wood, using the eco setting. It has a good grip the bike and I go to the top and am beginning to warm up. It had has started chilly and so I...
