Hi All Mike from London

Hi All

I've just joined the forum. I have been using an electric bike for the past year. It is a Sparticle conversion fitted to a Raleigh Pioneer. I fitted the kit myself.which was surprisingly easy and have had no problems in a year of use. The only surprise is how quickly I wear out brake pads, I use it mostly for commuting in London so perhaps that is to be expected. It has been great I always arrive at work without feeling sweaty and even adjust the pedal assist down a bit when it's cold to keep warm - I just wish electric bikes has a neat solution for keeping dry in the rain

Cheers

Mike

Welcome! Hase Bikes make fairings for their electric recumbents? Is that a niche too far? http://hasebikes.com/156-1-Trike.html

Not if you live where it rains and the temperature drops below 0°C think "chill factor"
