    Ebikes with alloy/mag wheels?

    I presume that mag wheels tie you to the specific brand of motor used by the bike manufacturer. That Wouldn't be something that I would want.

    Camping Chair

    I bought a Trekology fold up chair when it was on special offer last year. It is surprisingly strong, easy to use, and doesn't take up a great deal of room, but if I were to be in the market again for one, I would look at the OEX version, as it better at spreading the load to the ground. I...

    Ultimate bike camper?

    I must admit that fat tyred bikes aren't my thing either. There is a lad who has a YouTube channel, that uses one for wild camping exploits, and it was the study rear rack, and front headstock bolt on rack mounting points that caught my attention. I also wanted a bike that I could work on in...

    Ultimate bike camper?

    The main compartments on the panniers don't seal overly well, but this hasn't proved to be a problem to me, and could be sorted with some additional velcro. I'm still very pleased with them though, but don't take that as a recommendation, as I hate recommending things to people. Perhaps I should...

    Ultimate bike camper?

    I'm not sure that lonely is quite the right word, but I do enjoy peace and quiet, away from people. Sadly living in Sussex, getting away from aircraft noise is all but impossible though, which does spoil things for me. Ref the bike, I generally cover it up, and lock it, but I keep meaning to...

    Fat tyred ebike manufacturers fined.

    Following on from the thread mentioning that Rad Power Products are pulling out of EU sales, I spotted the following article, but couldn't discover who the 9 fined manufacturers were? https://www.ilent.nl/actueel/nieuws/2023/06/21/inspectie-legt-dwangsom-op-aan-aanbieders-fatbikes

    Confused by Mudguards...

    The Mucky Nutz short front fender is actually very good for it's intended use on a mountain bike used for off road use. That use being to keep mud and crud from hitting you in the face. Beyond this, and for my main use, I am not really that fussed about Mudguards. They snag up, become clogged...

    Total newbie looking to buy an eBike, want some advice on a model!

    From my understanding of the Shengmilo MX05, there has been issues relating to the motor wire. Apparently it is very thin, and has been known to melt and fuse at the connector.

    Hemiway Cruiser

    Sadly, I am still struggling for time ⏲️ so have only completed one more ride, but I am pretty sure that the bike climbs better now. My favourite time of the year.

    Hemiway Cruiser

    Finally found the time to look at the settings, and the CUR value had been set to 15A, which I have now changed to 20A. It will certainly be interesting to see what difference that it makes. :)

    Hemiway Cruiser

    Funny that you should mention that. After having to take a much longer way to get home yesterday, so avoiding the 14% gradient that the lower end of my road has, it did occur to me that I should really look at the settings. I should of checked that when I had the voltage issue. I shall let you...

    Hemiway Cruiser

    Not a bad way to spend a Bank Holiday weekend, although when I got home. I did discover that I had returned with two unwanted extra passengers. I hate ticks, and like them even less when they are on me! As for the bike, it is going well, but it's hill climbing isn't really that great, and the...

    Himiway Zebra

    There are few things to mention about Hemiway. I didn't go into my purchase lightly, as from research I knew that the warranty is quite questionable. People making a warranty claim often gets passed round and round in circles, and the postage costs that they charge for parts, seemingly works...

    Which e bike

    Brilliant to hear that Darren is still around. I bumped into him many years ago on the South Downs, and he certainly came across as being a genuine guy, that was passionate about ebikes. Glad to see that he is seemingly doing well.

    Hemiway Cruiser

    Thanks Nealh. Any advice on which one to purchase? The display is a Key- Disp KD51C-U, and assuming that it is just a generic display for many brands of bikes, it is puzzling where the default settings have come from. In respect of the battery power bar settings, the default for level one is...
