My ebike has the KT-LCD5 controller fitted, if l change the controller for one off ebay will l be able to adjust the maximum assist speed? Not that it will go that much faster, it's a single speed so l guess 18mph will be about it. But, can anyone tell me is the restriction in the...

Not round here! Everyone has about four including at least one great big boat of a SUV

My helmet has certainly saved me on more than one occasion, once when l crashed on a track and head butted a dry stone wall, and the other time l came off in a gully and went down sideways on to rocks. I wouldn't have liked the damage sustained to the helmet, to have been my head. Agree they...

How ever much it costs, it's a whole lot cheaper than going out in the car

That makes sense. So the motor is designed with the U.K. speed limit in mind by the looks of it.

Ah okay lf l set the cruise on my bike to an indicated 15.5mph it will only manage it for a short time and then it ends up around 14.5mph Bearing in mind that's an actual speed of around 16mph So if l were to de restrict it, unless the wind was behind me l doubt it would go any faster on...

l need to fit one of those then !!

My Mirider weighs 17kg, that's light enough to lift into the back of a car when folded. The Raleigh looks okay, but it's more expensive, 3kg heavier, and doesn't have disc brakes. Plus it's generally larger but should still fit in any caravan or motor home when folded. Mirider claim "up to 48...

Hub drive motors clearly have a rpm limit as mentioned above, with a mid drive motor it's different as you are driving the rear wheel through your gears, so in high gear my friend's de-restricted Cube ebike rips up to 26mph. (where legal of course) I was interested to see how fast my hub drive...

l would recommend the Mirider 1 lt's lightweight around 17kg has a good range of power levels and also rear suspension which makes a big difference on rougher roads and tracks. l've done 400 miles on mine since buying it a couple of months ago, and it's great fun. lt folds up and fits into a...

The motor is the same as the Mirider and that will happily assist past 15mph. However the Mirider is a single speed so spins out at around 18mph. l would imagine the Woosh having 8 gears would be better.

Any chance of getting a bit more speed out of the Woosh, can it be de restricted? Not looking to do 25mph but 20mph would be useful. l managed to boost my Mirider by around 2mph by changing the wheel size on the control unit from 16" to 14" and it made all the difference.

Great fun l would imagine though, in the right place, and used sensibly. Although Simon Cowell nearly broke his back when he tried one.

The O/P has moved on, but these 5-10,000w "electric motorcycles" are illegal death traps. l've seen them hooning around the roads here, unbelievably one guy carries a young child on the seat in front of him, neither of them with helmets. Okay on private land, do what you want there, but not on...

That looks great

Thank you l will have a look at that one.

Well, some off road, not the black runs at the local trail centre, but a bit of singletrack fun. So front suspension would be an advantage, it needs to be folding and preferably reasonably light weight. Can anyone recommend something for a maximum budget of around £1,500?

Cargo bikes are a big thing where my brother lives in the Netherlands They need more than 250w though, and it would be an advantage to have a throttle, with a maximum speed of 20mph (although l doubt the speed limit will be raised) This will get a fair few cars out of city centres.

lf you are careful, and use heat shrink sleeping over the repair, it will look okay. Better to replace the cables though if possible

l have a full size ebike, a full suspension Kona and it's fabulous However l also have a folding ebike, a Mirider 1 which is quite small and has 16" wheels. For road riding the Mirider is absolutely fine and l often choose it (over the Kona) when going for a road only ride. Stability and...
