Riese and Muller Homage for when you can't get your leg over so to speak! Understated, under the radar full suspension crank drive with a naughty high speed motor option.

I might be wrong and happy to be corrected but if you want full suspension and also a rear rack to carry panniers the Riese and Muller bikes seem the only option with a factory fitted system.

I find general activity is good for my back, and both walking and cycling as well as other general moving around activities all help. Sitting in one position for too long is bad for my back. I have also found stretching exercises can be good. One of the things to be aware about cycling...

Thanks vfr I will order one.

Hi all. I have an old Emate City of 2011 vintage. In fact I have two having bought a second one from the classified section. The front light on my original Emate has just stopped working. I include some pictures. If anyone could help me, maybe with an ebay link or similar, to a light I could...

I bought my ebike to commute to work and back rather than drive the car, so that immediately reduced car use. I also use my (Now Ebikes) for most general shopping and errands which would have been done in the car and again cuts down on the use of the car. A case in point last week was a...

A bigger bike shed sounds like a good idea. You are getting some very nice weather while you are away from work. I might have to revise my statement about a one day September heat wave as it has been just as hot today, I saw 31 degrees on my display, and so warm for my late ride home that I...

Fabulous cross country ride to work yesterday in the one day September heat wave. I saw a peak of 32 degrees on my display. The road ride home at around quarter to one was still shorts and T shirt temperature although I wore a thin long sleeved high viz jacket and shorts rather than a T...

The shop should check this when they do a repair, but I recently put a marathon plus on the rear of one of my electric bikes, I could ride for a day or two and then the tyre went down. When I checked more thoroughly to my embarrassment the rim tape had become mis aligned and an exposed part of...

I have to agree about test rides, though as I am not intending to buy a bike at the moment, do not know how difficult it is in the current situation to test ride several bikes. My first electric bike could have been a disaster as I used a ride to work scheme and could only buy through Evans and...

The Nexus 5E mentions a gear range of 263%. For a bear with a little brain I wonder if someone could explain how this might compare with my current rear cassette which is a 12/36. Is it as simple as dividing 36 by 12 to get 3 and is my cassette range 300%. I am sure someone will explain...

Just finished 6 days of early turns at work. These early duties are the ones where the £100 ebike gets me to work and back. On two of the days I was designated to be on call at home and was lucky not to be called and stayed at home. These "at home duties" are a consequence of covid and the...

I hear what you are saying VFR but the fishermen I encounter when I ride on the Tow Path of the River Wey for the 6 mile journey from Godalming to Guildford are much easier to get past than the ones you describe. A ring ring bell is a good idea for the pedestrians you may encounter.

I use toe clips on my hard tail Haibike and find them excellent. I use a smaller strong pedal and a plastic toe style enclosure extension designed for straps. The combination of the two work really well together. Off road you can angle your foot so it is forward in the toe enclose and held...

Great report trickgixer and I absolutely loved the picture and view towards Anglesey. It is a superb area. I was married in St Maelogs Church on Anglesey.

First off road rides to work after my 20 day summer leave period. I came back to four days of work after my summer break. Of those four the second and third enabled me to use my Haibike and enjoy my 12 mile cross country route to work. The first of those rides was on Saturday 29th of August...

As soundwave has said if you get a good price from them ebikeshop Farnham will fit a dongle and honour the warranty.

I noticed this double chain ring hard tail mountain bike available for pre order in the Haibike line up. Crank drive double chain ring mountain bikes are now pretty rare. It has a updated crank drive Yamaha motor, 500Wh battery and hydraulic disc brakes in the very robust Haibike frame. The...

Our minds are working on the same sad lines!

Baa humbug I do not think the censor would be happy if we embarked on the many sheep jokes from the 80's!
