I rode my bargain basement £100 second hand 2011 rear hub Oxygen 20 miles to work and back last night that I bought out of the classified section on pedelec after a August summer holiday around September 2018. That bike had 500 miles showing when I got her and came with marathon plus road...

I have just changed tack on the rear of my hard tail Haibike and fitted a 2.35 heavy duty larger volume down hill style tyre and gone tubeless. The idea is to retain puncture resistance and have better performance off road and be able to run lower pressures for a less harsh ride and be kinder...

Well my rear mech did arrive pronto..... I thought I was going to miss out on some cross country rides to work with five late shifts that started on Wednesday the 11th. But the new rear mech arrived in the post on Wednesday morning. I rode my rear hub road bike to work that day but managed to...

Picture from my ride to work in March! 2018. Great fun. 12 miles cross country.

That's a fair mileage Dom T, and I don't think I have done many more if at all. One of the bikes I use a lot for errands, shopping, chemist, dentist etc, does not have any form of mileage recorder, so it is hard to tell. My total mileage for any given year is driven by how much commuting by...

I must admit Dom T that I was lacking a little confidence before tackling this ride having ridden a bit less than normal due to mechanical and electrical issues with both the bikes I now ride to work and back and also having allowed myself to get a bit heavier than ideal. However I must have a...

Acoustic Set Well the Haibike is out of action waiting for a new rear mech to arrive through the post, and I wanted to ride off road. I have been off work for 6 days and return tomorrow for 5 days of late shifts. This would normally mean using the Haibike to enjoy a lovely cross country route...

I have had two chains break on my Haibike Yamaha crank drive and one on my old Oxygen rear hub bike, so it can happen. With the right tools it is reasonably simple to connect a broken chain back together to get you home. My old rear hub bike due to its age has a unrestricted throttle, so that...

I bought a Yamaha RD400F for £770 brand new with rear sets, clip ons and expansion chamber exhausts with the original parts included when I was 19 in around 1979. Fantastic fun but lucky to survive that little episode.

New Throttle Fitted and all working as it should. So chronology and thoughts Monday 02 11 20 The super sub £100 Ebike, David, causes consternation when whistled onto the field of play and immediately going lame and necessitating me taking the car to work. Just not what we expect. The throttle...

I did a sublime 20 mile return trip to work and back yesterday with the bike behaving just as it should do with the throttle disconnected. I do find this a great bike to commute on the road, carrying two heavy panniers and maintaining a very good speed. As a larger 59 year old male in a job...

First no show for the super sub. I have found a throttle on ebay that looks identical apart from the connector that I can hopefully splice to it from the old one.

It was hard to photo to show all the pins, and you did make me think, but after popping out to the garage and checking all three pins are present on the connector. The problem manifested itself with some strange symptoms. I was going to ride to work on it the day before yesterday. The display...

My throttle has stopped working on my £100 Ebike, that Nealh has christened "David". If anyone is able to post a link where I can buy as close a replacement as possible I would be grateful. Thanks

Have you tried nipping up the bolts that hold the chain ring on. I had something similar and that sorted out my noise.

More wind in the winter that definitely effects range. You mention riding on a tow path, when I ride on the tow path of my local river/canal I do not find I need the motor due to the speed and level gradient. I commute to work and back throughout the year and see the lowest level my battery...

Love my emate too, done countless miles on my 2011 one and managed to buy a second hand one in 2018 for a mere £100 that turned out to be almost mint after attaching everything that had been taken off, so now I have two, splendid...

Very Autumnal / Wet Dom T. I have not been commuting for 4 weeks and start again on Friday with a potential 6, 12 mile cross country to work rides and 10 mile road rides home. I think if I do them all it will be quite a wet and muddy 6 days and I will be bushed at the end of it. I will be...

With a decent budget you should consider Riese and Muller https://www.electricbikesales.co.uk/bikes/electric-bike-options/2020-riese-and-muller-superdelite-gt-rohloff-hs-silver__5102
