Thanks for sharing about the effect of going electric on your commute, very intersting. You also mentioned your heart rate. What did you use to measure that?

I bought SL120's about 6 weeks ago. They are very good as a backup set of lights and are just fit and forget. The only problem was having to fit the rear light to the pavement side of the bike, rather than road side. This was due to their rear bracket not allowing the light to clear the...

Thanks for the extremely comprehensive replies about the 24v Heinzmann battery :) jhruk that is exactly the battery box I have. The charger is 24v & 7.0Amps My battery is in a similar condition you yours, again after roughly more than 10 years. I read in a thread a while back, I think by...

Hi Flecc I do have a 24v Heinzmann motor and have been resigned to not being able to replace the old battery. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

For reference:- 1) Low power moped (a moped with pedals, with auxiliary propulsion not exceeding 1kW and a maximum design speed not exceeding 25 km/h (16mhph) £55.00 2) Two-wheeled vehicle (including motor cycle and sidecar) £85.00

Subject to working out Battery Cost against Petrol, being the only person with a Veh Reg on my bike would not concern me. The bit that is a show stopper is being forbidden to use it on a cycle way Where I live, there are a lot of cycleways, which could make up part or all of a 16 to 18 mile...

Hi First of all, thank you for your update Going back to your (very honest:)) 27/8 update (p6), I can see how a collapsible umbrella is particularly out of the way, when not in use. Just a thought, is the Senz umbrella you're thinking of getting collapsible? If it is, does it fold up...

I'd love to know whether it works as you well as you hope Excellent sun-screen protection as well :)

I'm afraid I don't have the figures but a while back, I remember hearing on the radio, how Road Tax raises far far more, than the government actually spend on Roads.

e-Scooter + Removable Batteries If you both go ahead with an e-scooter, I think removable batteries are a very useful facility to hold out for. I understand London has several electricity re-charge points, but removeable batteries will allow your daughter to be more flexible about when...

easycommuter Could you please add me to the Map at PE2 with an old Retrofit 24v Heinzmann kit

I was told by a friend who was a PE teacher and had studied exactly this question at college, to raise the saddle as high as you could, to get maximum efficiency. I raised my saddle, till my leg was definitely straight on the downward stroke, if not I was almost on tip top. I needed to came off...

Hi I have a 24v Heinzmann NiCad retrofit kit which is still going strong since I bought it (>5 yrs ago). I've used it most working days. I didn't realise how fortunate I was, till reading all the comments on your post

Pedelec vs Throttle Hi Lordy Lordy In case this wasn't clear, with a throttle it is basically just like what you would imagine a motor bike to have. In otherwords the more you twist the throttle handle fitted to your bike, the more power is sent to the motor. A pedelec has some sort of...

Hello (This is a first posting for me). I converted a normal "sit up and beg" hybrid 12 speed deraillier Raleigh (Jaguar) bike to electric, using a Heinzmann motor, quite a few years ago. I enlisted the help of a local cycle shop, eg. to create a spoked wheel around the hub motor and for...
