Northumberland have got £2.3M funding for cycle route upgrades including (maybe) a Dutch style roundabout https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/north-easts-first-dutch-style-20704777 As someone who has spent many years cycling in that area this sounds like a huge waste of money...

Putting this here rather than start a new thread, a neat idea if you rent a "bike & battery" package, I'd not want to swap my new & well looked after battery for one with an unknown history. Hot-swappabe battery exchange base station ?

Hi. I bought from Yose last year (German warehouse?), not sure if you know but after Brexit they created a UK-only Yose. I'm guessing you have been speaking to the UK store not the EU one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/ysbatteryuk Just a thought, sending from UK to EU is a nightmare as you are...

Hi, I'm using a temporary solution for now on my hollowtech axle, I'm expecting a parts delivery today with the bits I need to make it permenant. Some background & suggestions on this thread https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/advice-on-choosing-the-right-kit-please.41155/ Hope it helps...

@Moecycle - good to know it got to you ok, the rules seem to be sending goods from EU into UK *should* be checked but it has been said that would cause food shortages & chaos (so UK gov't have decided not to implement any additional checks after Brexit). The delays and customs delays are when...

As said above, shipping from UK to EU is now a nightmare so I'd avoid buying in the UK unless you aready live there. A parcel is on it's way to me from UK, it has been stuck at a sorting office near Paris for several days and I'm getting concerned. It may just be slow due to volume of shipments...

Poorly worded on my part but it sounds like you've already worked out - you just need to square the drop out enough to match the profile of the axle, making it fully square would introduce a stress riser / weak point.

Check all wiring connections are pushed fully home - I did something on my bike and the motor stopped working, I thought it I'd damaged something but it was just one of the connectors had worked loose when i was working on the bike. Easy to fix once I'd found the problem :)

Hi, I've had to "square off" the bottom of the slots on a couple of rear dropouts, not had to widen any (or fitted a Bangfang, or worked with titanium). Maybe wait for advice from one of the more experienced folk on here before deciding the best way forward. Hope it works out the way you want...

HI and welcome. If you like the bike you have, it;s not too difficult to convert it to electric using a kit. To monitor heart rate I use a Huawei "Band3 Pro" fitness braclet but there are plenty of others. Some background https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/fitness-trackers.31349/ Have...

I always lock the bike to by chaining the frame & wheels to something solid. The nuses lock would be a very poor quality duplication of something I already do so it's pointless and was never used - I removed it so there's no chance of idiots locking it while I wasn't watching. Personal choice...

Hi, I've converted a bike similar to yours (hollowtech crank, hydraulic brakes), some info in my thread https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/yose-350-rear-hub-kit-transplanted-onto-scott.40186/ Hollowtech. To test things I adjusted my gearchanged (easy job) so the smallest front gear cog...

Hi Bob, congratulations on your progress. I found my earlier rides were held back by a lack of confidence & fitness, both improved a lot last year due to regular rides on the ebike. It sounds like you are finding the same :) Since I was a kid I have been strongly against compulsory cycle...

Hi Chris, not something I can help with but for background I was very grateful to pick up a cheap non-working Ebike last year just to have a project to keep me occupied and as a way to learn more about Ebikes. I've had very good dealings with people on this forum so either advertise the bikes on...

A decent chain locked onto something immovable, normally through the frame & back wheel. Swap the quick release seatpost clamp for a bolt up clamp. I know the front wheel can be removed in seconds and is vulnerable. Battery is never removed, bike gets charged in the garage and kept either there...

@wheeliepete just for info, I've had no messages yet but it's the weekend so no surprise. Timing is critical for me as I'm overseas. A UK mate sends me a supply parcel twice a year, my next parcel is already wrapped and will be posted on Monday - any changes now would mean a delay and rewriting...

Hi, if you can't find a replacement you might be able to get yours working. My bike had been unused for many years and the clutch was locked solid, I stripped the clutch and the 3 locking "barrels" were rusted when they should be free to move. For yours, maybe try squirting a degreaser in your...

Iif anyone is looking for a UK supplier of motors / kits (not a recommendation - just info) an option is https://www.thebikeshed.online/ebike-parts Background https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/q100cst-from-bms-i-requested-the-201rpm-motor-but-they-have-sent-the-328rmp-motor.41129/

@wheeliepete thanks for the link, it would have been great if I'd know about this 2 weeks ago as I was looking for a UK supplier and couldn't find one. I know for next time ;)

^ Good advice. I bought a new bike (pre E-bikes) about 10 years ago, Cube were very high on my list until I found a high spec Scott on sale as it was the previous years model. It's now converted to E-bike and parked about 10 ft away from me - I like it a lot, but I'm sure I'd also have been...
