The other day I found at home when I was about to set off that both tires were flat. No problem I thought but when I checked my emergency new inner tubes I found they were schrader when I have presta which I'd been carrying around for 5 months like a numpty.

Possibly the propogation of the original article with its unsubstantiated claim of raids by trading standards acts as a steamroller of fear to try and impose a level playing field in the market place...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8436558.stm (2010) Can't recall any clampdown on mobilty scooters.... despite Daily Mail (2006) scare stories of illegal gangs of tearaway old duffers terrorising and causing mayhem on pavements and shopping centres on 'soupled-up' scooters. If even...

Seems a bit dodgy that 'one' anonymous UK dealer (presumably legit) has notified the publication that they have been raided for dodgy bikes. Seems fishy to me - unless any other UK dealers can verify the story.

80% Transport / 20% Leisure - though with a lot of the transport rides I add a few extra miles on leisure routes for the fun of it. i.e get off the train a few stops early and travel a longer scenic route rather than a more direct route home.

I got my secondhand Wellgo LU-A54 flat pedals for £12 from fleaby Some new ones here > http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/wellgo/pedals/flat-pedals

KTM ERace P 29 Extremely satisfied and highly recommended - Excels on hill climbing. When going up hill instead of changing down the gears you go up and relax the pedalling till you hit a sweet spot with the motor assistance that propels you up at 14-15mph.

When I got my ex-demo KTM in May a shortwhile later I noticed a small dink in the rim which meant the wheel couldn't be trued - Even though its not really a warranty item Col and Tom sourced me a new replacement rim. I think considering the significant discount on the ex-demo and the...

IIRC regen mode is on when in either auto or the two regen modes. There's a specific unassisted mode that's slightly draggy which I've ony dabbled in and seemed more that could be accounted for just by the bike's weight. Only major problem with the nights drawing in is the on-off button above...

Same here on my KTM eRace P - feels like a subtle weighty drag when unassisted so I generally keep it on eco at a minimum.

Nightmare for you - All I can think off is take round a 'without prejudice' (or whatever the jargon is) payment/reward for say £50 and a bunch of flowers as a thank you for the finder's 'kindness' in looking after your bike - otherwise contact your local newspaper especially mentioning the...

Wish I could get £5,000 off the cost of a pedelec..

I hope for your sake the battery hasn't deteriorated from lack of use and maintenance charging while sitting around, and needs prematurely replacing. As the Bionx batteries are a large proportion of the £1000...

The ebay 'finder' will need to have his story confirmed by the police that he reported it found - if true the police have really mucked up (if like my local police they seem to write lost & found stuff in a book rather than use a searchable electronic database) and they might truly have told him...

Here's my KTM beasty with aftermarket mudguards

There's the 2015 KTM E-Street P with mudguards and lights coming out soon or as I've done on my 2014 E-Race P bunged on aftermarket MTB front & rear mudguards - Junked the stock Racing Ralph lightweight MTB tyres as they would puncture just by pushing the bike on a pavement with more road...

Any excuse for a pub crawl! :)

622 is for 29" tyres (basically 700 C rim) 559 is for 26" tyres http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html
