When we voted to join it was presented as a loose consortium of Countries for trade purposes ie Common Market , since then it has developed or hopes to develop into a Common Europe . Our Politicians in Opposition were going to put the brakes on the whole bandwagon .However once in Government...

Our Civil Servants make genuine mistakes , they make deliberate ones ? New test introduced for Motorcycles several years ago to achieve 31 mph on the swerve test ? We spent £70 million on off road centres `cause we could only do 30 mph on our roads . After loads of accidents we have now altered...

My front hub powered Batribike Folder has a little kick to get going but there is a time lag . I use the throttle only to walk alongside one stupendous hill here in Barry .I defy any E bike to climb the hill on which Bryn lives in the `Gavin and Stacey` Series without being reported to the RSPOf...

Well done Derek for taking the plunge and then reporting on it . If the Company is responsive and the machine is good , a lot of people starting out and not wishing to pay the earth will certainly be interested . A pity we can`t encourage Woosh to come on the Pedelecs site ! The Elios did look...

That frame guarantee Penny reminds me of my first new bike which I bought for £12 in 1950 .My Father paid half and myself the other £6 . It was a fixed wheel `Hercules` , distinguished at the time by a square rubber surround rear reflector .The main feature was that it had a 55 year guarantee ...

Opaz as nobody has answered , I will . I am not familiar with the machines mentioned , but look at the Folder by Batribike . I have the lower powered 26V 8Ah Quartz SE and am very pleased with it . The later model has a 36V 10 Ah set up , with the motor now in the back wheel and the battery on...

Yes Ebikes double or even treble your riding for pleasure range . I find that my 1982 Classic Suzuki `Roadie` Moped is doing less mileage these days as my Batribike Folder has taken over some of the trips .

My legs didn`t stop spinning Bob on my Batribike Folder today . I did 15.24 miles in 95 minutes , half with the wind and half against it , average of 10.2 mph . To maintain 14 - 15 mph I`d have to be on maximum assist with my legs going around so fast it would hurt . After watching the News...

If they round up the figure of 99.6 mph , that`s 100 mph , so give `em the money Barney . Another year to wait then for the £10,000 prize .

That`s grossly over the top for a 15 mph or even 20 mph Ebike .That`s more stopping power than I have on the front disc of my 100 mph 1982 Suzuki GT 250 X7 with 29 HP . I would point out that I haven`t been past 70 mph on it though !

What about this one for £369 including free delivery . Look at Woosh and it`s a Folder called the Mono .It has 20 in wheels and suspension near the hinge .

The trouble with looking pretty is that maintenance and accessibility is poor . Think of the sleek faired- in Pacific steam locos of the Southern Railway in the 1950`s .They soon removed the fancy tinwork and went back to practicality . They called them re-built afterwards .

As discussed in the Forum about the poor take-up of cycling and the reasons, which include traffic dangers because of few dedicated cycle lanes , Leaf owners are more likely to take their chances by walking from Servicing Appointments . Why when you are saving the Planet , would you want to be...

If you have been Cycling or Motorcycling into Middle Age , you are used to traffic being in close proximity , non - cycling families used to driving would find two wheels scary ..Where I live in the Vale of Glamorgan the provision for cyclists is pathetic and the traffic pretty heavy on some of...

A quick look at the Mk 3 and it seems to offer the same as the Batribike Quartz Folder , but £360 cheaper .

A S seem to meet your criteria being local and cheapish . Any problems and you can be quickly on their premises . They have a folding 26 in . which interested one of the Forum Members . It will be interesting to hear your comments on them if you go ahead with your purchase .

Definitely a friend .I used Hammerite Satin black to touch in parts of the frame on my 1982 Suzuki X7 Motorcycle. I used a half inch brush and it blended so well you can`t tell the difference . Keep the paint thin and apply quickly .

Bit of a mystery Kirstin , it did seem strange that the same bike was being sold by two Companies with the same Name , only an `h` to tell them apart . Best to deal with the Southend people who have Premises and hire them out . Their machines seem well built , specified and the prices are good ...

We ought to be seeing lots of Ebikes judging by the websites that tell you `out of stock `. Batribike recently had only 2 of 8 models in stock , A.S Bikes of Coventry are off for a few weeks as they have no bikes to sell . Woosh have run out of Scirrocos but Tonaros seem to be supplying everyone...

Look at the A S Bikes of Coventry site Lynda , they have a folder with 26 inch wheels . The Electro Bike Plus is £740 and is 36V of unstated Ah .
