Get some modern puncture proof tyres as they really are now and you would be very unlucky to get a puncture.

remember you can still get a lot of use out of the old one. So if you wanted to buy a less expensive 400Wh you would still have more than 500Wh if you used your old battery first and then swapped over when needed.

My 2011 Oxygen Emate City has an unrestricted throttle, and although I am not disabled I find it very useful. So to say ebike law has not changed at all cannot be true for my bike to have been produced with a legal unrestricted throttle in the relatively recent past and for throttles to now to...

As riding amongst other traffic on a bike you are likely to be the most vulnerable I would not want to impair my hearing. There is also the question of your concentration being impaired by whatever you are listening too. So I am in the no camp. However I am in the minority now that does not...

These often get good write ups https://www.oxygenbicycles.com/ Another, though much lighter pedelec member Kangaroo rated this folder which seems cheap enough to take a chance on. https://www.piratescave.co.uk/seago-folding-electric-bike.html I am over the weight limit on my hard tail Haibike...

You should test ride some legal bikes, as although they are 250w they are allowed to peak a lot higher and still be legal and you might find that they are more powerful than you had expected. Test riding is a good idea anyway.

The edit facility closed before I noticed an error, the chain ring has done 3116 miles since it was put on in February 2018 not 2019 as stated.

This bike has been seen often at a local station to me in Surrey for about two years now without getting nicked. Quite remarkable. Stations are known to be high risk areas for bike theft. What about a folder that you can take with you and use the other end to ride the 10 miles you do each day...

11,,544 Miles update Cassette and chain have now completed 1110 miles since 9th of January 2019. Though on my last ride home my chain broke with about 5 miles of my commute to go. Last time a chain broke on my commute I was going to work in the dark up a steep hill and stopped straight away...

Had my own little nightmare last night. My chain broke last night on my way home with about 5 miles of my commute to go. Last time a chain broke on my commute I was going to work up a steep hill and stopped straight away and then found my chain easily just behind me on the road. I was also...

Mountain warehouse as a brand do generous sizes, good quality and generally at the cheaper end of the scale. I have used their thermal long sleeved polo style tops which are excellent for cycling in colder temperatures or skiing. I have got their stuff off amazon but they also have stores and...

After a side wall failure puncture on the rear tyre of a pair of Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus and then the same thing starting to happen with the replacement Smart Sam Plus on the rear I changed to Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in 1.9” width. I have covered 5962...

I am probably fit enough to still ride a non assisted mountain bike, and still do, but quite occasionally at the moment. I initially got a hub drive road bike (Oxygen emate) to ride the 20 mile return trip to work, and for me it was the ability of an electric bike to carry two loaded panniers...

I am afraid not. VFR400 might be a better person to ask.

The battery on my March 2015 Haibike is still working well and will be 5 years old in March 2020. However it is a lot of money to replace, so it is a good thing it has lasted well. A replacement 400Wh Yamaha Battery costs around £650 from the shop I bought my bike from. The bike has covered...

Luckily at work I have an inside space to leave the bike, and do not need to carry my heavy Kryptonite U lock, and even that would be easily enough overcome by an battery angle grinder, but cable locks can just be snipped with a hand tool. On all my shopping/errand rides I use the u lock...

I commute to work and back, sometimes on a rear hub road bike with wired in lights and sometimes on a crank drive hard tail Haibike that has no wired in lights. Like Andy-Mat I like to have two rear lights. On the bike with wired in lights, that's the wired in light and a very bright seat post...

I rode to work today on a cold -1, but sunny start to the day. I rode 30 miles by the time I got home after including a visit to Town for a spot of shopping on the ride home.

As anotherkiwi has said it would be possible for the police to check speed. However that in itself does not reveal whether the speed recorded is being achieved legally or otherwise. I live on top of a hill with the town centre in the valley below and travel close to 30mph down these hills...

River Wey including failed weir and over bridge I have been riding to the Royal Surrey Hospital one day a week for some time now and tend to ride on the road there and then along the River Wey back to Godalming. The ride home on the tow path of the river Wey navigation / canal is a good way...
