It hasn`t taken long for people in Authority to mention Ebikes in the same breath as EScooters when it comes to Lithium Battery fires . A London Fire Service Person did so yesterday and I noticed someone on You Tube saying that EScooters should be banned for this very reason .

Jim throw away that support and do what our Ancestors did with chest ailments . Rub in Goose grease , if it worked for chests it must for knees .

The Transport Secretary will announce on May 10th that Private E Scooters will be legalised for use on our roads . Cue all the anguished Car Drivers moaning about no tax , no insurance , no number plates no helmets , no formal training and anything else that they can think of .

Look at the Ebikes from Woosh and NCM , good specs for £1000 and satisfied Customers . In Woosh`s case plenty of help from them on this Forum concerning their bikes or those of other Manufacturers .

After yesterday`s adventure with my Fat Tyre I thought I would follow the same route on my Batribike Quartz Folder . Before setting off I changed the innertube in the rear tyre . I had been given a slime filled tube as a present and have had nothing but trouble with it . Slime oozing out ...

Punctures in any bike are a nuisance but the thought of getting one in a 20x4 in. tyre did worry me . For 3 years and 2500 miles my rides on this machine were trouble free , until today . I never leave home on any of my Ebikes without a battery powered Inflator and a puncture repair spray . In...

I tested one of those when they came out and it caused a stir when I rode it down the main street in Barry . Shame it was killed off here . It was rather top heavy but the Aprilia 125 cc Motor was adequate . Graphite /carbon fibre construction might have fixed too much weight high up .

I have been riding my` Lanarkshire E Bikes `Fat Tyre for 3 years and have an original Kenda Krusade 20x4in. Tractor pattern on the rear and a Chaoyang Sand /Road tyre diamond pattern on the front . The maximum recommended psi for the Kenda is 30 , so I inflate to just under , approx. 29 psi ...

Be careful when buying that Carrier type battery on Ebay , most are not supplied with the BMS , just the case containing the cells , possibly with a new Carrier . If the BMS is remote from the battery then you won`t have to pay extra for it which might be £50 .

An EBIKE Rider has been terrorising people on the sea front at Rhos- on- Sea , N.Wales and the Police want to catch him. They have his machine after he fell off and ran away according to the local Paper . They would like him to come forward and re-claim his Bike. Judging by the size of the Motor...

Flecc I would be highly delighted if two of my machines made the legal powered speed , they start losing power before 14 mph . I supposed the Manufacturers are nervous of turning out machines capable of exceeding 15. 6 mph and upsetting the Regulators . I am only interested in the lower powered...

My 11 year old Batribike Folder was from before the EU Rules were altered . It came with a throttle and a 200 watt front wheel motor . It has the walk assist 6 km/hr throttle position which I use on really steep hills . I never use the full throttle on this one as the power is so weak and I...

Jacob Rees Mogg is looking for EU Regulations to be binned and asking for suggestions . Firstly I suggested that Creosote should be available for Individuals to purchase in small quantities, as Water Based Preservatives are hopeless at protecting Fences and Sheds . My other suggestion involved...

I recently sent a Battery to Jimmy at INSAT for attention . Jimmy does the arrangements and UPS picked up and APC returned it . It is at the Customer`s risk as Carriers won`t insure the Battery . If it goes walkies you lose .

Now that you have slime in your Tubes , make sure you carry spare valves . I have found it gums them up .

As already mentioned YOSE Power seem a good Company . I have one of their Silver Fish 16Ah Batteries and am pleased with it . Their guarantee is longer than a year .

You need one with decent mudguards for Winter riding . Country lanes in my area are often lower than fields either side and often assume the role of rivers in parts . Even riding through a trickle of water on my Fat Tyre results in a wet lap . The abbreviated front mudguard is next to useless .

A video of a £3000 Ebike being stolen in broad daylight in London appeared on a Newspaper Site yesterday . Passers by didn`t seem bothered, but one Person video`d the one minute operation . A British designed D lock called Hiplok D1000 has been reviewed in the Cycle and Motorcycling Press and...
