Missing the point A lot of the responses seem to miss the point; the original post was about costs "if you need to keep the car". Frankly, if you are not replacing a car then an E-bike does not make financial sense. That does not stop it being a sensible purchase; just that you need...

I ride a Moskino Eagle; nothing special about it but on several occasions I have followed a struggling "manual" rider up a steep hill, at walking pace, with no effort; all I had to do was turn the cranks. No effort, no fuss. Sometimes I have ended up in bottom gear to be slow enough but never...

Putting lives at risk; maybe a slight overreaction Blocking a fire exit staircase; stupid at the very least. Andy

I didn't intend to do my next update till October but life changes; I am retiring and moving back to Scotland. So, commuting ends and I say goodbye to Bristol's hills! To business; the quote from my last report still stands. I have done 1700 miles, purely commuting, and nothing has changed...

Excellent! A new variation on an old joke. Andy

Eighteen month update: The thumb shifter for the gears broke in February - it is cheapest Shimano - I bought and fitted a replacement quite easily. That surprised me as I am no mechanic!. I also broke a spoke on the rear wheel by jamming my bike lock in the wheel and then pulling; told you...

I never understand why testing of Ebykes is always done by the least suitable cyclist; usually young, certainly fit and unlikely to enjoy any of the benefits of an Ebyke. Get them tested by people like me; my bike got me back into cycling to work and up a hill I couldn't make on my "manual"...

My first "annual" report: now done a 1000, commuting, miles and almost everything still works. The exception is the, fitted, rear light that has given up the ghost. As I use multiple flashers I am not going to bother sorting it. Appart from that I remain happy with my bike. Andy

Hi Barry I read your review and It struck me how often our thoughts were similar! I really cannot be bothered cleaning a wet bike when I come home from work so I tend to spray a lot of "cycle maintenance spray" over everything; that keeps the rust at bay. I used silicone sealant to seal all...

Having had my bike since October 2010 I thought it was about time I did a report on it. In that time I have done about 650, purely commuter, miles. My round trip to work, in Bristol, is only 7 miles but manages to include 3 "hills" (they seem like hills to me!). My riding style is to...
