Hi anotherkiwi, off topic but I spotted you in the channel 4 Tour de France highlights program yesterday during the closing credits at the end with ZZ top being played, ie a red bent on a cycle/footpath shown briefly cruising along beside the peloton. I don't know if you can get a chance to see...

Never had one but pedelec member Kangooroo rates it. https://www.piratescave.co.uk/seago-folding-electric-bike.html https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/folding-e-bikes-in-hilly-cities-edinburgh-in-particular-re-post.27257/#post-366041

Way back in 2011 I bought an Oxygen from 50 cycles and got no help at all when I needed it looked at after I bought it.https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/e-bikeshop-co-uk.24565/page-7#post-315436

As I only use the Haibike to ride to work and back and have not been required to start work regularly where I normally do my mileage for the year is already way behind where it more typically would be. I have only ridden 180 miles since the beginning of May. However I am about to resume my...

Looks like your bike is still just about holding together soundwave!

Crank drives often make you work harder for the assistance, not bad in itself but different from a hub drive. You should test ride the ones you short list before you buy. Crank drives wear the transmission out a lot quicker than a hub drive. I have both and love both but for relaxed riding on...

I am also still riding an Oxygen Emate City like yours and it is my go to bike to wizz into town to do shopping and then haul it back up the hill home. Mine is 2011 and looks very well used but still works very well. Gently de restricted, ie the loop of wire has been attended to allowing around...

Let the panic begin!

I may be wrong but in this particular case I think because both parties got injured and both parties were at fault he would have greatly improved his financial out come by counter claiming through a personal injury lawyer. He did not need cycle insurance to do that. That does not mean that...

With not enough places to park and lock my bike I cram it in and lock it up wherever a bit of space allows and very often on the opposite side of a bike already parked. I must admit I have never considered the handlebar situation as whenever I have had a handlebar locking situation when removing...

Witness H has done him no favours and in my opinion is less convincing than the other witnesses and the cyclist himself. The truth is out there somewhere. The judge does however appear to be trying to be fair. If he had counter claimed it would appear to have reduced his liability although there...

There was a bit more in "The Times" today, and he comes across as a nice bloke that with hindsight made a few mistakes that have ending up potentially costing him a lot of money. The other side paid for quality legal representation from the off and he started by defending himself and making...

I had my first swim in the sea this year in Devon, lovely sunny day so I thought however cold it was I would be able to warm up when I got out, blimey, it was cold, cold, cold, I did not last long, 15 minutes maybe 20, but I was right, I did warm up once I got out. No wet suit, loads of older...

I had a very similar situation when a sixth form girl student absorbed by her phone stepped out from the curb in front of me with the only difference being that my shout, brake and slight swerve, also to the left like the guy in the newspaper report meant I missed her, but only just, and as I...

On the face of it this cyclist appears a little hard done by.

Cars are the same. Does it really matter? Now you know what the disparity is you can allow for it.

In their summer sale and supposed to have an 8 speed hub gear option. https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/Electric-Bikes-UK-Dealer/Hybrid-Town-Trekking-eBikes/Raleigh-Motus-Grand-Tour-Low-Step?sort=p.price&order=ASC Though it is not metioned and may not be an option on the sale bike. It is on this...

Saw a small story about tax breaks to steer us to e-bikes in The Sunday Times. Worth 32% for basic tax payers and 42% for higher. Also proposing to sweep away £1000 limit on value of bikes eligible with no limit for e-bikes. Might make my fantasy Reise and Muller top of the range Delite...

Do you mean that the bearings are wearing and play has developed with your crank arms. Try your dealer who might be able to help. Alternativley although I have no personal experience of him this guy may be offering the type of service you need...

Back in 2015 I bought an entry level Haibike Yamaha that has proved great with the odd bump in the road to overcome. It was the first year of the Yamaha motor being available on the Haibike and mine was the cheapest one £1750 back then. My very long record of ownership is here...
