I can't see how you're going to achieve your aim: The 700c Basis Beacon you link is already 23kg. By time you add a front shock and some wider grippier tyres, it's again going to be too heavy (it's a steel frame, and the front hub drive with a cheap springy shock is likely to scrabble on loose...

I think by time you add suspension forks and beefy tyres to cope with rougher surfaces, you'll be looking at that kind of weight. That 25kg M1 is also sold as a D4S variant, which is simplified as a commuter bike with road tyres, and that weighs 18kg as a comparison. It's big tyres and beefy...

This may be worth a punt: A "tougher" off-road folding e-bike to compliment your existing Batribike. Front and rear suspension, fat tyres, decent 12.5Ah battery. It weighs 25kg though. The disc brakes and Tourney gearing is a bit basic but functional. At just £770 how can you complain? It looks...

The description says: Add full support USB to serial converter chips: ✅ FTDI FT232R, FT232H, FT2232H, FT4232H, FT230X, FT231X, FT234XD ✅ Prolific PL2303 ✅ Silabs CP2102 and all other CP210x ✅ Qinheng CH340, CH341A And the screenshot outlines a few options: I read it that the normal USB serial...

You need to remember, the oil has been under the North Sea for generations. It took English brains and American money to finally get it out. I know - I was there for 10 years in the late 70's and early 80's. The Scots - even then - would bi7ch about "all these English coming up here and taking...

If yours is one with a removable display, it'd be worth making sure the contacts are super-clean and the display sits firmly in its bracket. Beyond that, your bike is new and under warranty - I'd take it back to Halfords.

As I read it, the BBS Speeed App just needs a USB/JT cable to interface with the bike. My fridge has Bluetooth though so I can see on my 'phone what temperature my Beers are at. My Fiido D11 folding e-bike arrived yesterday too: Bundled in the box is a free cable lock (that could be cut in...

1) Make sure you're in the right gear (the most important point) 2) I lead with my right leg: At stop, rotate the crank backwards to ensure the right-hand pedal is in the 1 o'clock position. If you need to accelerate away even more quickly, you can apply your full weight by standing on that...

I like that. I can see it'd be especially useful if you're trying to adapt/tweak settings whilst out on a ride - much quicker that twiddle, get home to re-twiddle, ride out, home to twiddle again. I've just today bought a new portable fridge/freezer for my Transporter "Cycle-touring" van to...

Stabilisers are an option: These fit many e-bikes, but others/cheaper versions are available too. Adult Stabilisers - Roodog Electric Bikes

Isn't the Pendleton Somerby Deluxe the version with the Dapu crank-drive rather than rear-hub motor?

Just checking, but what vfr meant was to disconnect the brake wires then, whilst they are disconnected, test to see if the bike goes. This sounds as if you just disconnected and reconnected them and noticed no change. It's important because (whilst waiting for your husband) you likely held the...

The plug on your charger shows multiple contacts: that means there may be some communication between the battery and charger. That makes it difficult to replace with a 3rd party/lower cost/generic charger. Have you a picture of the internal burnt out component? Like the internal fuse, it may be...

There once was an e-bike sold as both a hybrid/roadster, and as an alternative choice, an MTB: Same frame, same 60nm centre-drive motor, same brakes... identical in all respects except forks and tyres. Those here on the forum who bought the MTB complained of high resistance and unacceptable...

I've seen the 2020 version now selling new as a clearance model for just over the £1000 mark - now the 2021 version has become available. The newer 2021 version is lighter with new spoked rather than cast wheels. It's likely to dent what you might have hoped to achieve in resale value.

I agree. The D4S especially is both a really good e-bike, and great value at (today) £505... add 8% = £545.40, then add 4% currency conversion = £567.16. Still pretty good value for what it is if it suits your purpose. I'm sure the delays are teething problems, but they shouldn't be making...

To be fair to Fiido, they are likely the first Chinese supplier to try opening a UK warehouse since Brexit. Previously stock was shipped direct from Poland - and that seemed to work well enough, as it seemed to for many Chinese manufacturers shipping product throughout Europe. What cheeses me...

The grey colour is still £350 off. It's the white and black of which they had no stock (but now do) that are only £100 off. And I wouldn't hold your breath over Fiido. They claim they now have a UK warehouse. They claim - after 4 months - to now hold UK stock for immediate despatch. They claim...

Why did you shortlist those two in particular? Personally I'd prefer the Volt for looks and capability, but they both seem to me to be very worthy options. It depends what you're intending to do with the bike as to which makes the better choice. Is your purchase intended for cycling old railway...

Generally, hold the battery button down for a prolonged period of time until the battery shows signs of life. On mine (not the same brand) it's about 10 seconds. Another member here recently had a response from Halfords about locking washers for a Carrera. Halfords in reply said they use a...
