Didn`t do any of that Harry only the Twist at a Works party .

Shame you missed the 60`s Eddieo , the white heat of Technology under Harold Wilson , collapsing rear subframes on Minis , collapsing suspension and rotting cills on Austin 1100`s , Carnaby St Fashions , smallpox outbreaks , Dr Beeching demolishing our Rail Network . Now I have told you about it...

I have to differ . I have a GT Mountain bike and a small Folder, both without suspension . My Batribike Folder has `cheap` front suspension forks and the ride is immediately noticeable as much more comfortable . Suspension has been invented for a reason , so why not use it !

Trex here`s a summary of bikes at the budget end gleaned from Postings here over the last week . Decathlon £500 , ElectroBike Plus ( AS Bikes of Coventry ) £540--£740 , WOOSH of Southend £299--£525 and the well regarded and known ones on here, Juicy Bikes of Buxton and Kudos of Kent . If you...

That is an excellent range , perhaps Tonaro have it when it comes to the most efficient design . I read the posting on the ease of removing wheels to mend punctures without disconnecting wires, which is also a plus .

And don`t even think about Tweeting and Twittering , that`s even worse than blogging !! It sounds like a nasty disease that`s worse than being bitten on the bum .

Who looks at Blogs ? I don`t , the mention of the word puts me off . I like the trade comments interwoven with the Forum Subjects as now .

Andy it reminds me of early Halfords Mountain Bikes with that disclaimer .The kids were subjecting them to unspeakable things and the forks were snapping . As 14 year olds can ride Ebikes , they are sensibly getting in their disclaimer first .My Batribike Folder only has the earlier 26V 8Ah...

Dealers/Importers ought to display them in Shopping Malls or in the windows of shops there .They could form part of a window display like they have done with vintage scooters in some high end men`s clothes shops . Then there could be information where to test them .

There you have it sockster , don`t press the button as you are passing a policeman or attract attention or have an accident on it !

Oiseaux that looks similar to the WOOSH Model called `The Breezer` from Southend selling for £359 . It`s pretty lardy and might offer good protection from errant car drivers .

Sapper I would have thought the Road Traffic Act trumps Swansea Council . I live in Wales and haven`t heard the Assembly making any pronouncements .Have Swansea Council made or altered any bye-laws on the subject ? Get you local Councillor on the case . My Batribike was purchased in Cardiff last...

CF62 for RoadieRoger

Thanks for the suggestion kitchenman , I will try it out tomorrow .The first attempt resulted in it being too big to be accepted , it was only 3 photos . I used to work near the Pier Head at Cardiff Docks 25 years ago , but the place has changed out of all recognition . The link from the Penarth...

Blew it make sure you steer the run past the Cross Keys Pub at Burycroft as we generally use it as a swapping over point halfway between London and S.Wales . The aircraft enthusiasts can walk up the road to Redlands Airfield and watch the Parachutists and Microlights . Happy times spent at the...

Yes it must worry lots of potential Ebike purchasers , being a long way from the Supplier or Dealer .I suppose at those prices if you have problems after the warranty period you could throw it in a skip ! By this time Ebikes will have moved on a bit and you can start again . I must say that pink...

Any gathering of two-wheeled enthusiasts is a good opportunity to show Electric Bikes .We had our Cardiff Motorcycle Show last weekend and during the day 2 or 3000 people must have passed through .We understood that an E Bike Dealer was going to attend but he didn`t show up . Perhaps he was at...

The Elios looks good value for just over £500 , the pink one looks a bit of a lump . One way to find out , pay your £4 and try one for an hour . At least they have a Showroom to see the machines .

Did my longest trip on the Batribike Folder this afternoon , over 22 miles including the crossing of the Cardiff Bay Barrage . No vehicles are allowed to cross from Penarth to Cardiff on this route , just lots of cycles and pedestrians . Passed a lady on another E Folder of a different make with...

Dave I think you should do as you have suggested and for the UK offer the Duke and Duchess with the same fork and gears as your forthcoming Liberty . The 3 speeds and no suspension may be alright for Holland , but their roads must be better than ours and I`ve heard it`s pretty flat there ! Only...
