I think legal 16 mph max assistance e-bikes are more dangerous than lighter none-electric bikes because in all instances other than uphill they're slower, it is hard work to make a draggy heavy e-bike go above the assisted 16 mph limit. Because of that the speed difference is greater, meaning...

I've never got 35 miles from my 400 wh battery, even with considerable input from me. So at least go for the biggest battery.

and what makes you any different ? :p I only ever look at the forum via the new posts tab, so wouldn't even notice if they were in the correct sub group,

I quite agree, they're the only segments I don't get KOM on, downhill ones. I'm not bad on some two lane ones. and there are a couple of short sharp climbs that some manage to sprint up, that I can't quite match, but I beat them on all the longer climbs.

my average is 14 mph, but I do a lot of pottering with a 6 year old setting the pace. oh and 40,000 feet of climbing.

I wish the lad who sold me his moped had told me that, he just said if you've got a car licence it's legal, he also said even though it would do 70 mph it was still legal because it said moped on the log book.

oh heck I am a naughty boy then :p

Funny you should say that, I have two mopeds, both now do about 70 mph ;) hmm there's a theme going on here........

Not everyone wants a high powered bike that gets you up hills like that and then cuts off the assistance at 15 mph. I want less help on the hill, but I want that lower level of help at whatever speed I'm riding. So that may be what an e-bike means to you, but don't assume that's what we all want.

Amazing and slightly scary

That's a good point, mine aren't the super bright ones, but are still pointed down to light the road several feet in front. Some bike lights are extremely bright, annoying and in my opinion dangerous.

I've just fitted a replacement for a faulty rear light on my bike and I noted that it said it needed to be used in conjunction with a BS approved light, and went on to say LED lights should only be used for extra visibility and should not be in flashing mode when attached to your cycle as it is...

Ah ha, so you spat your dummy out. Well lets just hope the Kalkhoff doesn't go wrong, which is highly likely given the poor bike preparation some customers have had with their Kalkhoff bought from 50 cycles.

That hasn't answered my question? so the KTM had a noisy Bosch motor, so you bought a Kalkhoff with a Bosch motor and weren't in the least bit worried about having the same problem on the new bike.

So you had a Bosch related fault on a KTM, but then bought another Bosch bike anyway, did you not worry that the same fault might occur on the new bike?

Well my name is Dave and I go on a forum and choose Dave, however Dave has already beaten me to it, so I use D8ve because it looks like Dave :)

that's not correct, the other Dave is D8ve View Profile: D8ve - Electric Bikes Community - Pedelecs UK
