    Legal EBIKE LOOPHOLES

    I have a question for anyone knowledgeable about e-bikes. I’m wondering if there are any legal loopholes or ways to bypass the 15.5 mph (25 km/h) speed limit. In my experience, 20 mph (32 km/h) feels like a sweet spot, especially when I’m riding on dirt tracks or private roads. I know I could...

    Insurance

    I am currently looking for insurance for my Stromer ST1x, which seems to be impossible. I've been fine for the past 3 years with bikesure, though now all big insurers seem to say 'there is no market for it'. This despite Stromer having gone through the motions of having the bike listed so it...

    More assistance please

    Hi, does anyone know of a speed hack for the original Kalkhoff Endeavour Agattu 1? My first Agattu was faster with a cruising speed of 25mph and as I remember, was providing more assistance when peddling. This is exclusively for off-road use only. Many thanks!

    Help! My pedelec suddenly got faster (SameBike JG20, YSDX20, XW-20ZC) - long text!

    So I got your attention, that's great! First and foremost: this is a TRUE story, as weird as it may sound. I searched the internet, contacted the company (thanks, David Hou @Samebike, for ignoring my support request!), nobody ever mentioned what I experienced. Then I asked for help in a German...

    Freego Eagle Derestriction - Magnet Trick?

    Hi All, After a visit in person to 'e-bikes direct' HQ in East Sussex, much to my surprise I plumped for the Freego Eagle with a twist-and-go throttle (not a thumb throttle, which would've been more uncomfortable to use longterm). The Freego Eagle hadn't been in my shortlist, but it felt the...

    Disabled non-peddler seeks speedy hybrid throttle bike for hills

    Evening All! Essentially, I’m looking for a hybrid or off-road bike with a throttle, as due to being disabled I can’t always peddle, even without applying real pressure. Yes, I’m aware of current regulations, but frankly, for me it’s either a throttle or no cycling and no outdoorsiness. Of...
