They are both wrong, and equally to blame. The taxi should have looked then indicated, the cyclist should have been on the left of the road, not in the middle, that is just suicidal behaviour. To say it's ok for a cycle because it's ok for a motorcycle is rubbish. Motorcycles have vastly...

mmmmmm.. I can see your point re cost to manufacturers, but when talking about an average bike at £1000 plus, I wouldn't have thought it would make that much of a difference. As far as maintenance is concerned, changing a flat on a hub would be far easier proposition I would have thought. Got a...

Yeah, sure a 66 year old doing jumps - might as well be on a skateboard! I'm built for comfort not speed or anything else. Or as my wife's grandmother put it very succinctly 45 years ago-" I need nourishment not punishment at my age" when one of her contemporaries point out a potential boyfriend.

After being in the colonies for 33 years and not on a bike during that time, on returning to blighty I find it very perplexing why the derailleur gear system is so ubiquitous in the UK. It's exposed to the elements, is always a pain to adjust, you can't change gears when stationary - so why...

I posted this in the battery area, maybe this is more suitable. Out of warranty battery replacement costs are pretty horrendous for all e-bikes. This has led to a plethora of youtube videos of doubtful provenance and not too much emphasis on safety procedures. This Israeli guy knows a thing...

just use ctrl + thats the default browser zoom ctrl - for smaller

d8veh- I probably posted this in the wrong area, will post in a more appropriate place Cheers, Tony

WD40, big hammer and screwdriver always works!

If you look at 289's response, he is typical of where people's priorities lie in the real world. He cannot see the value of paying 3 times the price for an item he can directly source for a third of that. Wringing of hands and saying how wrong it is will do diddly-sqat - it will happen however...

d8veh- You don't think much of my idea then? There is a lot of unused talent out there in our community, not least of all yourself. You seem to have a real grasp of battery tech. Surely the Pedelec community can be a route to many people avoiding the pitfalls of DIY battery replacement, with...

While it does seem expensive at the moment, maybe Brexit will mean less restrictive imports for battery packs, without the TUV and eurocratic rules and regulations. I'm sure it's not beyond the wit of our own parliament to ensure the rules put in place post exit regarding battery packs are...

Hi Trex- This looks interesting, fits the bill just right. I'd like to try one for a few days though, give me a chance to persuade the wife, could you possibly twist Andy's arm to give us a trial? Cheers, Tony.

We have very little choice here in Bournemouth, no dealerships here have a decent selection of e-bikes, so it's going to have to be an online affair. I've already purchased a Whoosh bikes Sunbear online, and am very happy with it, I also got a Kudos Safari for the wife, but she hated it, much...

Is there such a thing? Also within my budget of less than £1000? No matter how hard I try, dérailleur gears are just too hard to maintain, I can't for the life of me understand why they are so ubiquitous here in the UK. Preferably with battery less than 23kg.

nice - a good present for the wife

Ok Mike, money sent, check your personal email. Cheers, Tony.

Mike- I'll take a punt- offer of £120. The $35 p + p will be needed to so if you accept I'll send you £155.00 Cheers, Tony. 0776 394 0825 vidtek99@gmail.com

That's a really cackhanded way of putting up a picture if you don't mind me saying, the software on this forum is really weird, I wonder what the developers were on when they made these peculiar decisions.

Can't seem to find the edit button on the original post, this forum has some very strange software quirks. Now sold as of 3rd August 2016

mmmmm.... 300 miles (and it's a lot more than 3 hours - my last trip to Sheffield took almost 5 with traffic) just to look. If you still have it in a month and I'm still looking I can arrange for a courier to collect. Much easier, cost less than the petrol too! Cheers Gray thanks for reply.
