    So I've tried a few but still confused

    Swordfish, I applaud you for choosing a quality machine with the benefit of power assistance rather than a budget bike with low-grade components and zero panache. It really doesn't matter if the Koga isn't the fastest hill climber out there so long as it gets you up the hills comfortably...

    Free AVG and online banking ?

    Because I have Spanish and English bank accounts, I use Santander for most of my banking. They supply free the Trusteer Rapport system which is used massively by all sorts of banks (and other companies) worldwide. Now that they have put right all the early teething problems, having hit the...

    Cycling safer in Spain?

    Living, as I do, for most of each year in Spain and cycling most days, anybody who believes that Spanish drivers are courteous and have great regard for cyclists is deluded. I have driven over and cycled in much of europe and can say categorically that the Iberian peninsula is the area I fear...

    That's the one! 7.66 kg wow

    All credit to the gentleman for his development work but anyone over in the UK can purchase something along the same principles from that firm down in Winchester. Ok, their bikes are double the weight of the one seen in the link but the small battery, used sparingly, can allow some fairly...

    KTM eRace P, first impression review

    That's a really fantastic review. A company sales person couldn't have done a better job. I must check out where I might buy one of these machines if it's affordable for me. Melissa

    Congratulation to Chris Froome

    Yes, it's a difficult decision but only so because we still operate the stupid, unfathomable honours system in this country, an anachronism, like the monarchy, which serves no useful purpose, particularly when the gongs are frequently awarded to some of the most unsavoury and unscrupulous...

    No battery!

    Yes, it was actually the step-thru I looked at then saw the same seller offering the gents' bike and I didn't like the sound of it all. Of course, it might be entirely kosher but these are not very old bikes and I always think 'STOLEN' any time I see an ebike on ebay without a battery. Anybody...

    Giant Full-E + 0 27.5

    I note on the German site one, EDDIEO, has posted a question. Good to see he's still interested in the ebike scene. 60Nm? Really!

    Cycling Specs

    Lidl do changeable lens kits from time to time and the frame has a removable sponge seal which keeps out draughts and pollen. Although the lenses are some kind of plastic, they are excellent quality, better than some of my rather expensive sunglasses. They also provide a choice inside the case...

    Article: AlienOcean unveil two new off-road sports e-bikes

    These are not ebikes at all. They are mopeds possibly but why they are being given the oxygen of publicity on this forum is beyond me.

    Which Electric Bike (that doesn't look like an electric bike!)

    Seems like Trem's choice, according to responses received so far, is the KTM Macina Cross or BH bikes. I'm really surprised by that. I would have thought some might have suggested their own choice of bike X but having bought one and since had the opportunity to ride bikes A, B and C, the one...

    Which Electric Bike (that doesn't look like an electric bike!)

    That's a really good question Trem and I'd also like to hear what members think today about the best climbing but stealthy ebikes we can purchase and use legally. Similar questions have been asked in the past but bikes, motors and batteries have moved on somewhat. Melissa

    Police say electric bikes illegal in Northern Ireland

    Superb! Now we have a geography-improving website for free without having to leave these pages. Lifelong learning through just having an interest in bikes offering a little help pedalling.....how good is that! Melissa

    Electric Bike Events 2013

    Well done Johnno and an interesting choice of machine. Was it your first choice of what was available to you or are you such a strong rider that you'd probably have won the race on any of several other machines? Was the bike in standard production trim or "improved" using a dongle or other...

    Impulse & Panasonic Tuning Dongles!!

    Me too but the way I see it, selling a piece of kit which has no purpose other than to change an ebike from within legal parameters to something manifestly different and distinctly illegal is, at the very least, distasteful if not actually criminal. Melissa

    New Crank Units for 2014 - News from Eddie

    Good to know that eddieo is still around and still interested in the electric bike scene Flecc. He could get on his high horse at times but the forum seems a poorer place since he and the Indy guy got the push. I can't ever remember reading anything so bad from either of those guys but they...

    Separated at Birth and by £500. What's the link anyone?

    Thanks for that D8veh although I'm no wiser! Perhaps, given the similarity between the differing types, I should look for lightness. Mel
