    What jacket do you use

    I have a bright green Altura Nightvision jacket and layer up underneath it. It lives up to it's name. Inside phone pocket split, but then I discovered Tenacious Tape :cool: It's a great jacket. Gaz

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    I like night riding because I get more exercise. Once it's really dark and there are no other lights, my imagination starts to hear footsteps that are clearly keeping up with me. So I pedal faster. Then once I'm going faster, my imagination feels the thing with the footsteps hot, fetid breath...

    people completly unaware anyone else is on cycle path/canal path etc

    Yep, it's at flipping epidemic proportions down here :rolleyes: More bemusing when they're walking towards you. I stopped the other day when three people were taking up the full width of a 10' wide cycle path, walking towards me. Pretty young lady walked straight into the front of my bike and...

    I've just got one of these - hard to beat for £2.70 in my opinion: https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Blackburn-Mars-2-LED-Click-Rear-Flasher-Light_39118.htm That good I'm thinking about buying a second one too! Gaz

    eMTB or Touring Bike?

    I've got the STEPS E6010, which is plenty enough to haul my 16 stone along nicely. 418Wh battery. Why not consider a hybrid? I wouldn't go down a mountain on mine, but it does fine with anything else. Gaz

    Changing disc pads (Shimano Deore)

    I am no longer a disc pad changing virgin! :):cool::D Oh my goodness, what a simple, straightforward, easy and pleasant job to do. I took me longer to watch a Youtube vid on how to do it than it did to actually do it. Job's a good 'un. Gaz

    Disabled off-road cycling enthusiast

    Hello Abi, from just along the coast :) My Wife's got a Wisper 705SE with a full throttle. She doesn't have to pedal if she doesn't want to :rolleyes: Wisper had a few 905Se's left with throttles, but they're crossbar style frames, so might not suit you? I've a feeling the BNIB Oxygen in the...

    That time of year again. Swiss trip 2018

    Nice :cool: 184 engine then? (poss. 150) - good bit of grunt. Mine's a 2015 Estate too. Went in for a 1.6TDI Blackline (replacing a 2.5V6TDI Superb), but ended up with the vRS. MPG's a bit different to yours though - 20k miles (all mine) and the long term average is 29.6 - but then you don't...

    X-Ride by aerobike

    Bloody great! I got it for me, from this forum, but it very quickly became my Wife's. Eight years old and still going great. The day I got it home I was trying it out, then realised it had a throttle, and only came in coz it got dark (I was having that much fun on it!!). I'm 6'4" and a tad...

    X-Ride by aerobike

    Can't see spec. data. 'High torque' is a bit meaningless without saying what torque. Doesn't seem to say what capacity battery. Up to 30 miles range - makes me think it's probably a bit wimpy. No details about componentry (that I can see). Nice photo's, shame about the detail, which I'd...
