The YOSE is a good battery . My original Lanarkshire Ebikes Fat Tyre battery was giving me 20 miles range and the Yose does 35 miles on the same routes .

The one pictured from Amazon looks very similar and would be equally comfortable . Thanks for the heads up guerney .

The Crivit Comfort saddle I purchased on Ebay arrived , had never been taken out of the sealed box and even had the Lidl receipt with it from 2018 . I fitted it to my NCM Paris Folder with a non suspension Promax seatpost and took it for a 6 mile test ride . It is very comfortable and I can`t...

The Lidl Crivit Air Cushioned Saddle beats them all . It has an inflation button , soft 3 pumps , medium 8 pumps and hard 15 pumps . An air valve deflates it . Used in conjunction with an inexpensive Promax sprung suspension seatpost it gives a nice ride . They rarely come up with the regular...

Just looked at the Spec. of the XF 200 as well as the blurb and it looks illegal . With mudguards and a 250 watt Motor that would be a nice machine, especially as it has rear suspension . The black model would stand out less than say the yellow or red one if you were to ride it from home to the...

I have had the NCM Paris for a year and it did not go well initially .After 4 months the power delivery was intermittent . Despite Emails and phone messages left with the Supplier LEON CYCLE UK , they never came back to me . I did contact their only Dealer in the UK at Torquay who was very...

My 13 year old Batribike Quartz SE Folder now has a worthy successor . I intended to purchase the NCM Paris Folder about 6 years ago but the model was so popular it was out of stock and I bought a mid drive Dapu powered Pro Rider with 700 mm wheels instead . The NCM Folder at the time was £1199...

Moore Large has called in the Receivers . They overstocked bikes after the Pandemic and had to heavily discount to shift them which didn`t cover their Running Costs . The Receivers are selling 35,000 Bikes starting today . They were once the Importers of Sym Scooters and Motorcycles and...

A small aerosol of WD 40 and a lighter would be a useful defence . Not as big as a Military Flame thrower , just a junior version .

Slime whether you put it in the tyre yourself or buy one pre-slimed causes problems by gumming up the valve . I now carry a 75cc aerosol containing foam to inject into the Inner Tube and a battery powered pump on all my rides . I have had 2 punctures recently and fixed them successfully to get...

Chris spread your net wider than some of the machines you mentioned by looking at offerings from Firms that advertise on this Site . Woosh and Wisper to name two sell decent machines and offer good advice on here . Don`t forget to look at Chinese made machines at the budget end as they are...

The Mail Online has an article on a German Study of 2,000 Cyclists that suggests that Ebikes won`t help you hit exercise goals . It goes on to claim that Ebikers were 50% less likely to hit weekly exercise targets than normal cyclists . These so called Experts found that Ebikes were 63% more...

Nealh I cannot agree with your views that throttles should be banned on Pedelecs . I consider them to be an important safety feature . You are making the mistake of mixing riders who are out to recreate motorcycle performance on the `cheap` with leisure riders often the older ones, who like to...

Car Drivers here are already moaning that they will be overtaken by Cyclists . No doubt they will be repeating the usual mantra about Cyclists not having tax , insurance , number plates ,cycle profiency testing and anything else that they can come up with .

These Chargers run hot if they are not fitted with a cooling fan and I have usually placed them on a bean can or similar metal to let air circulate and allow the heat to be absorbed . A neater solution would be to place the Charger on a wire bird feeder to get nearly perfect air circulation all...

A Driver in Bridgend has been moaning all the week about a very hefty fine after passing too close to a Cyclist in his Audi SUV . I think it totalled £4500 . He refused to discuss it with the Police and attend a Course and then didn`t turn up at Court . I have noticed that most Drivers are...

guerney to answer your question I found the Lidl stuff slightly better than the other much touted preservatives . Don`t fall for the CREOCOTE nonsense , it has the smell but not the lasting quality . Creosote use for Amateurs was banned by the EU in 2003 . Farmers/Professionals can purchase it...

Apart from the Ebike suggestions I forwarded , I am disappointed that Creosote is not in there . Never has there been so many rotten fences and posts since it was banned for sale to the public in small quantities . Water based preservatives are useless from my experience .

After inviting suggestions for getting rid of EU Red Tape , Jacob Rees Mogg has narrowed down 2000 suggestions to 9 . These will be taken forward to get rid of` hated `EU red tape . One of the 9 is to scrap EU power limits on Electric Bikes .
