    erider nearly sold

    I looked up the company record to see who it is owned by (a 26 year old with Chinese? name), but the address changed in September to a 3-bed semi in Kingsbury. Personally, if spending a large sum on an Ebike I would prefer to deal with a well known company such as Woosh, Ebikes Direct or...

    erider nearly sold

    Hmmmm.... I would be wary. The website uses poor English and the 'shop' address listed is a 2-bed terraced house in London (although might have moved to 3-bed semi in September 2022). It looks to me like a single Chinese person, aged 26, trading from their spare room and taking orders for a...

    Electrics going wrong with folding Basis bike SP20

    I have a Basis folder (Finch) - my first had a fault and the battery died suddenly on the replacement while out of warranty. If you bought your bike from Ebikes Direct, I would contact the company for advice. Their tech guys are very knowledgeable about their bikes and helpful, can advise and...

    Helmet noise

    Yes, I have this with a Bontrager helmet and it sounds as though I have cars behind me. Many times I have pulled in to let them pass, then realised when I'm the only person on the road. I don't have this with any other helmet, just the Bontrager. It might be caused by the straps rather than...

    Yose battery mileage

    I'm still getting a good 40-45+ and, yes, I have bought another of these batteries so my original is now a spare. I haven't tested the voltage it charges to or how quickly it falls.

    Yose battery mileage

    I use the same battery which is now about 4 years old and live on the hilly Welsh borders with gradients of up to 20-25%. I use my Oxygen e-Mate usually on full power mode (torque sensor) and, when the battery was at its best, managed about 50-55 miles in hilly terrain needing full power to...

    I hadn't seen just the breakdown but am very interested and could have used it earlier this week following my tyre damage. Am very tempted....

    Cycle breakdown

    This sounds good so I've just had a peek at their website. Alas, I couldn't find a realistic quote for £24 - the cheapest being £22.76 for a bike valued at £100, increasing pro-rata with the bike value. A Sold Secure lock has to be used and apparently a £50 excess on claims. On adding a more...

    You get what you pay for!!

    I've only ever had 'cheap' bikes, ie £550 for my first Seago ePower 20" folder and now my £750 20" Basis Finch. I used the Seago most days for rides of 20-30 miles over about 4 years with never a single problem. The later Finch had a battery failure after a year for which eBikes Direct...

    I rode a hog and I liked it :)

    Mechanical disc brakes front and rear to both bikes. Mine has covered several thousand miles and neither troublesome nor noisy. My budget doesn't stretch to expensive bikes but I've had no problems at all on the (relative) 'cheapies' and cycle on a range of surfaces doing anything but commuting.

    I have the Basis Finch with a very similar design and spec - no complaints at all.

    Did your E bike get you back on a regular bike?

    No, I've barely touched my old bikes except for flat rides along canal towpaths. The e-bike got me back into cycling after years of longing to but knowing I couldn't tackle the local terrain. I live in a hilly area and on the top of a 2 mile hill so leccy wins for me and makes the otherwise...

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    Are you in the UK? I'm not sure this is road legal here with the 500W motor and 25mph speed...??

    Pendleton ebike battery

    How about off the bike. Do all 5 LEDs illuminate then? How old is the battery?

    Folding Ebikes for motorvan

    I would check the saddle height of the Rambletta. I nearly bought one last year but on requesting dimensions from Woosh (very helpful) I realised it was far too small for my 34" inside leg and is only suitable for shorter riders. Instead I bought the Basis Finch from eBikes Direct and had...

    Unavoidable Bicycle Badger Collision

    Ouch. Sounds very painful and very bad luck. Hope you heal quickly and the bike isn't damaged.
