Thankyou both for your response. I have ended up getting a full Tektro break kit with built in cut out switch. Thanks for responding. Sorry i didn't buy direct from you

Juicy do you still sell these? Or similar for a non juicy bike?

my current bike has disk breaks - though they are cable breaks - the cable keeps slipping and the pads are not self levelling so they need frequently adjusting. I want to change to Hydraulic breaks and asked the bike shop near my office to quote me for supplying/fitting, the brakes they recommended are Clarks M2 MTB Disk brakes, from looking these are they are well reviewed but extremely cheap considering the price of alternatives. has anyone used these? or does anyone have any others they would recommend? i want my breaks to be good, reliable with plenty of stopping power etc. though i am sure most things would be an improvement over the stock ones i currently use. Regards Mark

Hi Captain Dan im a bit late to this conversation though thought i would add my thoughts, im age 32, 15 stone (though im trying to loose a bit honest!) and cycle 13 miles to and from work on an ebike I highly recommend it. plus its saving me £156 a month on my train ticket. meaning that for me after a year and a half the bike will have paid for itself. I go out in sun, heavy rain and most recently light snow :-) nothing stops me. As Juicy suggested above its worth going and giving different types of bikes a try, hub motors have a feeling of being pushed along where as crank motors feel more like your peddling, personally i like the hub but its worth checking both out. If your near Juicy go and try a bike, i had a Juicy Roller for a while and it was a lovely bike to ride, makes the hills nice and easy on full assistance and they have a good range. there are loads of bikes out there to choose from and plenty of ebike shops will let you take there bikes out for a little spin.

Thankyou Bob Yes I've just this second gotten the bike home. All seems ok and cycling made easy were very helpful. Rain is scheduled for every day next week so I'm going to be able to give it a good test.

Juicy have contacted me to say they are going to sort it all looks like i will be out again soon

Juicy Roller

That is why I bought my bike. the idea was that even though it was an expensive bike, using it daily it would pay for itself as I could save money compared with public transport. I guess maybe i expected too much when it came to going home in the rain.

When i searched for the ebike i wanted i asked the manufacturer "can i use the bike in all weather" they said yes. Not a problem. Then today we had some rain, so i thought it would be fine. I cycled carefully avoiding all puddles but after 0.6 of a mile my bike died. As you can guess I'm not a happy bunny. But i thought i would see what other people do with there bikes. Are you just fair weather riders? Or can your bike take on anything?

Thankyou i will give that a try it sounds good

I cycle into central London every day for work which is why I'm asking. As during rush hour the traffic sinks. I wouldn't be asking if i was in the country side

I tried this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HF3AVIG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tqpdzbP2NGTY0 air flow was good but it's uncomfortable and no good with glasses. This one is comfortable but only has one filter and doesn't let you breath enough to cycle Cambridge Mask Company https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01G7CLC6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Nrpdzb3Y7NCFJ

can anyone recommend a pollution mask that is good and that allows you to breath properly? I have purchased 3 so far, 1 cheep one from ebay and 2 from amazon. I find they are either useless with glasses or i cant breath in them sufficiently when i am cycling. any recommendations gratefully received.

If possible i would still love to test one of your bikes when there available.

Sounds good. Can you send me a link I will look into it more.

Wow i have my touring bike in the garage and had not thought of this. How difficult is it to attach all the bits and get it working well?

There is a underground carpark with a bike area at the office block i work in. One guy had a problem in the past though i was thinking a chain. Dlock and some cables should be enough to secure everything...? Or would i need more?

They are very far im sorry to say. My nearest appears to be coulsdon. I will look forward to trying it.

Thankyou for such a fast response :-) I'm glad you said yes to point 2. And as far as point 3 goes I've already factored in lights and insurance. Although I'm not sure what clothing would be good for all weather cycling. Just got to get a bike and get started.

Hi all. I've have never tried an ebike though am very tempted to get one to do my daily commute. I priced everything up and realized that I could save myself £156 a month. (v train) Which would be great. The only problems are:- 1. my commute is from sanderstead CR2 to Chelsea SW10 0XD which is 15 miles each way. Up 2 steep hills either direction would a bike battery last for the return journey with hills? 2. I'm a very very out of shape i have not exercised at all since I did the London to Brighton 5 years ago and I've gained a bit/lot of weight. Realistically can you ride these with very little effort? I would struggle otherwise. Though I would like to use this to improve my fitness. 3. I'm wondering how safe it is cycling in central London. 4. My budget is a maximum £2000 and ive been looking around the favourite ive seen so far is the juicy roller (i like a more comfortable upright ride and long advertised range) If anyone has any recommendations thoughts or opinions I would be very grateful to hear them. Also any recommendations on where to go to try a good ebike? Are they all very much the same to use? I phoned the local shop on juicy's site though sadly they don't stock the one in interested in to try. Though I'm open to look at other bikes/models.
