Depends on the trial rides. I don't know if this will be 'longer range because I can ride without assistance above 25kph quite a lot' or 'potentially much faster but needs assistance all the time, and so needs to be an s-pedelec'. To start with it will have my two bargain Shimano 8020 504Wh...

It's nice that options for everyone's needs are available at reasonable cost these days!

My front tyre's cracks look alarming when inflated, but don't seem to affect the carcass. I'm running it to destruction for my amusement! Yes, motor is on, battery mounts are there, wiring details and display mount to be finalised, bigger/better brakes and huge chainring to be sorted, and then...

I found those quite poor, puncture-wise. I think they are only 3/7 on the Schwalbe scale of resistance. My current rear is 5/7, only 1 puncture in 5,000 miles. My front, a cast-off emergency fix full of cracks is still going strong, no flats after about 2,500 miles. Some kind of continental.

That is annoying!

Have a look back at some long previous discussions! It's all there! Extremely briefly, EAPCs are a very, very special case, allowing a motor on what is in law a bicycle. Everything anyone wants in an electric two wheeler can be had, but not as an EAPC. If helmet and insurance would not ruin...

All (bike) design is optimised compromise. Steel works fine, and for a long time had no serious competition. Aluminium needed robotic welding to take off, carbon still carries a hefty price tag. Nothing has come along that is so far ahead as to make steel obsolete. Routine ebiking can carry a...

You have very early on in your ebiking life come up against the boundaries of the eapc definition! A switch like that is simply not allowed.

For anyone thinking about a cargo trailer, there are a couple of secondhand used but not pristine Burley kids trailers on Ebay just now, collection only, so only useful if you are close enough. Good enough for shopping, maybe not for kids. Also the flatbed, brand new including postage at a...

At least it wasn't fish!

This £6 when I bought it works for me. Not tiny, but 235g light. Large ish volume means not too many pumps to get me home, foot pad leaves both hands free to pump, and connector has ready to use holes for Schrader and Presta, so no fiddling around with little loseable objects. Not perfect, the...

Push the key in and out a few times, get some wd40 right inside if you can, tap it in all directions, do everything you can to exercise the internals....and if all else fails, you'll have to drill it out. ...and be sure it is the right key...

No, don't do it specially! I thought it might be reassuring for some to see what is possible. I studiously avoided rail replacement buses on my October trip, but then I'm 700c non folding and with big panniers.

Does your extensive media library contain images of said bike on a bus?

You really need an answer in writing/email from the operator, because you will need to be able to show the driver just in case. Practically, in large wheeled cases, I suspect the answer would be no.

Agree with the above, check and recheck all contacts, remove / replace battery several times to exercise the contacting areas, try holding battery up / down / left / right at the contacts end to see if it makes a difference. All issues I have had with my remotely mounted Shimano battery have...

Perhaps the rise of cheaper Chinese brands and the death of Western car production. Perhaps a 'second wave' of common-sense-in-the-face-of-a-climate-crisis lighter, smaller, cheaper designs...

1.55kg battery and 4 hour charge time. Slightly more than 200Wh at a guess. That and the rear V brake would have me looking elsewhere or at least waiting until after mince pie time ends.
