    Is this a good buy ?

    Not sure which country you live in. References to Euro in pricing. In UK 250w is the maximum motor size to avoid complications. Cheers

    Haibike Sduro Cross 9

    Picked up a Haibike Sduro Cross 9 last Friday. Had a great weekend. So different to my Scott eSub 58. Time to let the Scott go I think.

Several City/Town councils have banned Mobility Scooter's for the under 55's unless they could produce medical evidence the use...

    General clothing

    Depends on the weather. I have rheumatoid arthritis so feel the cold more than most. Since mid September I have been wearing long leggings, full gloves and winds stopper jacket over long sleeved cycling shirts. Cannot feel comfortable on my bike unless I have my clipless cycling shoes on. Not...

    Am I doing the right thing ?

    That bike would be fine. I am 66 years old and ride a 14 mile circuit 5 or 6 times a week depending on the rain. Had to adjust my brain to not overtake everyone else on a bicycle, like I did in my younger days, and just be happy in the fact 15 to 18 mph is a very achievable average speed...

    Is the Yadea V7 Legal?

    More from their sales pitch The operator of an E RIDER Model 21 is not required to provide a breath or blood sample Sure that is false information.

    Nexus 8 or the new Nexus 5-E?

    My Scott uses an Alfine Di2 8 speed internal hub. Was very dubious about it's capabilities as my Specialized Stump Jumper has 29 gears. The Alfine is perfect. Using 5th gear most of the time to comfortably pedal along at 16 to 18 mph. Never dropped below 3rd gear regardless of the incline.

    Toe clips

    Clip in pedals are well worth the few rides it takes to get yourself accustomed to them and find the clip tension best suit to you. Been using them for more years than I care to remember. Recently rode to my golf club for a social drink rather than playing so I wore my trainers rather than my...

    Help! Scott SUB sport 10 - now or when?

    As a Scott Sub owner I agree with your statement regarding the build quality. I have the Shimano Step 2 motor coupled with an Alfine 9 rear hub and it is a pleasure to ride. Fortunately I purchased this bike in January 2020 before Covid-19 and the lockdown created a huge demand for all things...
