    Help! Newbie needs advice on bike choice please

    Rob I was fortunate enough to retire 5 years ago at the age of 60. Commuted 15 miles a day one of my, then , 5 bicycle's. Cycled at weekends and played league standard squash. Rheumatoid arthritis in my hands put an end to squash and once the arthritis got to my spine and ankles cycling also...

    Help! Newbie needs advice on bike choice please

    Would not say the Bosch Step motor on my Scott is a "dead loss" to cycle unassisted. Rode mine to the start of the local cycle path about 0.6 miles from home before I realised I had still got the motor turned off. I am a reasonably fit 65 year old who once considered my cycling commute to work a...

    Nottingham based myself. I have recently brought a 2nd hand Scott E Sub 58 (287 miles on Odometer) I am same height as you but with a 30inch inside leg. My Scott is sized as small but I find it a decent fit. There is at least another 3 to 4 inch of height adjustment on the seat post. Have you...

    Washing ebike? - Without outside tap?

    Nearly all my motorcycle/scooter rider friends use AFC50 to keep rust at bay and it also leaves a protective film behind.

    Insurance?

    I looked on line for eBike insurance as I did not have bicycle cover on my house insurance. One quote was for £79 for 12 months. Considering I pay £82 fully comprehensive on my 2014 Yamaha 250cc X Max scooter I declined the quote. Another quote appeared better at £54 a year but purchasing one...

    Advise please.

    Well after a lot of time spent visiting bicycle shops, chasing eBay adverts and scouring Gumtree nationwide a chance remark made in the golf club bar lead to me purchasing a Scott Sub E Speed from the cousin of a friend's friend. Collecting it Friday after it has been serviced. Photos and review...

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    That's the Kalkhoff BS10 I got my deposit back once I discovered , through this forum , that it was a S class bike. Certainly was not that price then.

    Long range speed pedelec?

    I have a mate with a very expensive electric BMW scooter. Range and top speed definitely reduced in cold weather.

    Long range speed pedelec?

    If you want 70mph then a 50cc scooter is not going to get anywhere near that.

    Long range speed pedelec?

    Speed pedelecs can achieve 28mph but you are then wondering into an area that requires it to be registered, unable to be ridden on cycle paths and tow paths and requires a motorcycle style helmet to be worn as well insurance to sort. Although it is not illegal to sell Speds to use them legally...
