    New Bike

    The term "pushing at an open door" comes to mind with your purchase. Great choice, I have older more garish colour version, 900 miles of enjoyment so far. I thought NZ was a green and pleasant land, looks more like "Dead man's gulch"

    I can't leave a horrible post like that up I only posted to see if Gubbins would bite.

    Giant 2017 E Bikes

    Do you really believe that the new model is £900 better than yours ? So; MPH on the display, colour changing paint, two batteries, cocktail cabinet.

    For an extra £900 I would want a lot more than the display in MPH.

    Don't you find it ruins the bed sheets ?

    Chainsaw oil.

    You can learn so much if you have an open mind, I thought it was an euphemism for an act carried out in the bedroom, but it is a very dangerous route to fame ! I think Ian Steward would struggle with a 24" Husky, I know my lower back does.

    Chainsaw oil.

    No reason why not. No rust on any of my chainsaws. I use 3 in 1 normally on my bike but now I might go there, its a lot thicker and I have stacks of it. Good idea.

    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    Would it make a PHEV ? Convert to an eMTB but with the strimmer motor charging a small battery. He could go for miles and when he arrived he could edge the lawn as well. I see an opening for Gtech ???

    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    When I first got my eMTB I was going to get or build a dongle as it seemed necessary. But I have not On the road I am happy at 15 ish MPH as my max, I do not need the speed off road and my gearing is fairly low for climbing which suits me. Speed has no interest is it my age ? To use...

    Do not do it as it is illegal. But set up a website with all the information on how to derestrict your bikes called say wooshmywoosh.com or similar. Then put lots of signs up in your shop and web site forbidding any one to use these techniques or visit wooshmywoosh and job done. Cake and eat it.

    Haibike return policy

    Its a Haibike what's not to like, also they finally used up all the garish colour paints they had hanging around (like mine) and it now looks great as well.

    D8veh you would be correct if the motor were just directly connected to the battery and working flat out all the time, but it does not. The Ebike has a controller which utilises PWM as we are using a % of assistance to the bike and not 100 %. The controller will provide the same % output...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    You need that Indian girls air tank on the back of your bike then you could fit a full trailer board on to it for lighting. The bike would be a dog but you would be safe

    Haibike return policy

    Has any one ever had to buy a replacement Yamaha motor, ever? Photo evidence of invoice will be needed hearsay is not acceptable. He bought an Xduro after trying an Sduro, to quote D. Trump "so sad". Paying £500 for a replacement battery that has low internal resistance and works the same at...
