    E bike general discussion and recommendations

    A Crank Drive Motor will not sort out your present gear changing problem , it will be worse . The device linked to your gear changing which cuts the Motor is clunky and is inclined to lose your momentum . I find it is better to increase the Assist Level rather than change down for some hills . I...

    Inner tube

    Edward my Brother and Myself are careful with our tyre pressures and after a time we both experienced the same fault caused by Slime . Inability to inflate at all . Only solved by replacing valves , until the next time ?

    Inner tube

    Slime did prevent my tyre going down, but since then they have gummed up the valve , preventing inflation .

    Replacement Tyres

    My Fat Tyre Lanarkshire Ebikes SR 20a has Kenda 20x4in. tyres . You could contact them to see if they keep them in stock . I think it would cost double to get them here . I would contact Ridewill with your requirement to find cost including carriage . I found dealing with them straightforward ...

    Replacement Tyres

    RIDEWILL in Italy have the Fat Tyres . I bought Choyang 20x4 in. Sand Tyres which have road treads as opposed to the Kenda ones with chunky pip treads . They were £19 plus postage and despite them saying that the package for the two would be the same as for one , they still charged postage for...

    Simon Cowell recovering from near six-hour surgery after scary e-bike crash

    If the Manual was like the ones supplied with my Ebikes here , it would have taken him all of 1 minute to read . Even then they only had a few technical details . They didn`t tell you how to recover successfully from a 360 degree backward flip .

    petition to increase the speed limit

    Well done georgehenry for keeping the Country going when we are led to believe that most are sat on their arses at home and being paid for it . The exceptions being the Saint who owns Pimlico Plumbers and his Employees .

    UK’s first e-scooter trial scaled back amid widespread misuse – including underage riders zipping through shopping centres

    Mistake to only allow hired E Scooters . If people own something they will generally look after it . I see youngsters in my area riding them and they act responsibly . Through the actions of a few idiots the trial will be tarnished . Better to show some committment and make them legal without...

    Ideas for comfortable (+ reasonably priced!) saddle

    A Lidl Crivit Air Cushioned Saddle in conjunction with a Promax adjustable Seat Post is a good combination . The Lidl Saddle has an air bladder that pumps from soft to hard and it is wide . The Promax has and internal screw adjustment using an Allen Key . The Saddle was £7.99 and the Promax in...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    Now that we are leaving the EU and their beloved level playing field we need to be bold and derive our own rules on Pedelecs etc. Start by scrapping the Pedelec Classes L1e and L1e B that few understand and just have the normal Pedelec , but allow a maximum speed of 20 mph . This would allow the...

    Need for LESS speed!

    Can`t you ride it on the lowest Assist and use the throttle for pulling away ? My Fat Tyre has 5 Assist levels and I use the throttle from stationary only .

    Is a 24v. bike up to tackling hills?

    Look at the Woosh Rambletta which is a bit more at £849 , but more up todate . The advantage of that Folder is suspension at both ends , disadvantage is 24V and high bar to get your feet over for a small bike , the `funny` battery position and very minimal mudguards .. Whatever you get make...

    E folders under a grand?

    If you google NCN Paris there are reviews . Two years ago when Amazon were selling them the Owners were very pleased , 13 gave feedback on the original Paris . They have added the Max with a Bafang Crank Motor which is £1500 , 3 Owners have reviewed it . Perhaps I have been lucky with my...

    E folders under a grand?

    Look at the NCM Paris . The price like all Ebikes has crept up over £1000 now ( by £70) , but it`s highly regarded by the Owners and the spec. is excellent .It is a copy of my 10 year old Batribike Quartz which is not surprising as it was designed by NCM and probably made by the same people in...

    Heavy Newbie Help.....

    Kazvet you have a very nice Ebike there . I wasn`t familiar with this machine, but have just googled it . I don`t know where you are situated, but Electric Bikes , Guildford are Agents . On their Site I notice they say the 2020 model has now gone to wider tyres which would be a move in the...

    Dawes Swift

    Check the gap between the sensor on the rear frame and the magnet on the wheel spoke . If it`s too wide nothing happens . I have the Pro Rider` Flare` which is the same . I experimented by repositioning the magnet onto another spoke and found this out . The gap has to be pretty small to work .
