Sorry to read of your predicament. I also have a 20" folder and one of my dreads has been having a puncture away from home. Don't worry - your puncture should be easy to deal with. If it's fiddly to overturn the bike, just lay it flat on the ground, look for anything in the tyre...

I am no expert on these things and have no technical expertise at all. However, I de-restricted the throttle on my e-bike by disconnecting one of the cables in the 'wiring box' (non-technical term). It was a white one, from memory....

But... MCIA and BA would also remind anyone who owns or is selling an e-bike that it makes no difference if the machine has a switch to flick between a higher and lower power setting. The higher power rating is the rating that the bike needs to be classified by.

I think our £265 included electrics - it was a supply and fit job and I don't recall any further electrical work. I would shop around for more quotes: a main dealer is probably quoting skilled mechanic and workshop rates for a relatively simple job. You may even find a mobile fitter or a sole...

We had the same dilemma although for only one e-bike and a standard bike. We sourced this for carrying the bikes - £170 from Halfords: https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-racks/towbar-mounted-bike-racks/thule-9403-3-bike-tow-bar-carrier . The 3-bike rack has more space for a bulkier e-bike...

As I understand it, the bike is type-approved but at 1kW must still be registered: http://www.mcia.co.uk/page/press-release-16: "In order for an electric bike to enjoy the same rights as an ordinary pedal cycle, it should have working pedals, not exceed 250 Watts and the electrical assistance...

The Rad bike is 1000W.... and Rad is implying it doesn't need to be registered.

I have been following this via a thread on Facebook where Rad bikes are insisting they are road legal in the UK and do not need to be registered. I queried it but Rad Bikes always seem a bit vague and I suspect there could be many customers riding around on them in ignorance with neither...

Aha.... We use the 3-bike version of this one. https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php?37594&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjszhBRDgARIsAH8KgvckX2Heqw44TumkSEuz1huAM6g4-fud_GlAaXcE0x2GUhj57GfIWPkaAmAzEALw_wcB

We regularly carry my Oxygen e-Mate step-through, Carrera Crossfire 1 ladies non-electric and a folding e-bike on this rack with no problems at all. The strap fastens around the upright on the Thule frame and the crossbar equivalent on each of the bike frames. Next time we use the bike rack...

Probably so they can be discounted to boost Christmas sales.

I have two rear-hub e-bikes which serve me well despite living in a hilly area. I have no desire for a mid-drive.

I've had a similar dilemma myself but concluded that it wouldn't be practical to charge an e-bike via leisure battery and inverter. The demand would be too high and risk draining the leisure battery. Maybe it would be possible if driving for the entire duration of the charging but this isn't...

I have the original red Seago ePower folding bike which is now 3.5 years old, has clocked up several thousand miles, 1 puncture and is still running on its 8.8Ah original Samsung battery. Used in a hilly area on the Welsh borders, its range is now down to about 20 miles or so from about 35 when...

I think the chances of a refund depend on what the fault is and how long you've had the bike. If it fails on something 'serious' within the first 6 months then you could have a case for it being deemed as faulty upon purchase in which case you could be eligible for a refund, particularly if...

Which Pendleton bike do you have? I've just looked at the Somerby which has a similar spec and battery (8.8ah) to my folding bike to compare the two. I'm female, 53kg, unfit, live in a hilly area and cover about 25 miles daily so am possibly in a similar scenario to yourself. Locally, my...

Unscientifically..... at 52kg vs my 90kg husband, I can obtain an easy extra 8 miles from the same bike on the same route in the same conditions.

I have the ST E-Mate which accommodates my 34" inside leg (unlike many 17" frame bikes). When I needed info from Oxygen to check the saddle height, I found them very helpful so I'm sure they'll get back to you.

A warranty is not necessarily transferable to a second owner - so don't rely on this!

Glad Oxygen were able to help. I thought they would if they could. My replacement battery seems as good as the original. I was a little wary when I bought it but needn't have worried and I would happily buy another in the future.
