l asked the shop to fit new tyres and am guessing it's them who didn't reassemble the brakes properly The brakes are Hayes and work well, once properly set up. My friend has the Onebot, l've ridden both bikes and we've been on rides together and the difference between his bike, and the...

Are you planning to use the bike for anything other than your commute. And if so, what kind of riding would you be doing.....road, road and trail, off road? As it will affect what is the best bike for you to get.

Yes of course, if you can afford it then why not. For commuting though, bikes get a hard time and often have to be left in public places, plus there's rarely any serious off road, so l wouldn't want a top of the range ebike if a cheaper one would do.

l did try to straighten the rotors but it made no difference to the brakes not being smooth. Of course that's because it was not the cause of the fault, although l didn't know that at the time, so l bought the new discs. At least they were only £12! l can save the originals as spares.

Just to update this thread. l fixed the brakes, new discs didn't cure it so l had a more careful look at it, and discovered that the brake pads were not covering the entire braking surface. That is, they went off the top of the disc. l took off the calipers and reset the shims on both...

Put me down for one, message me on here when they are on sale. The Mirider is actually for my wife, and l will also need one. Yours looks perfect for what l want, with the larger wheels, more power, and a bit of suspension.

Looks very nice, l would definitely want one, and the 20" wheels will be great, what's the price likely to be?

The bike is great fun on all types of riding. l did 18 miles of mixed on/off road on the Mirider yesterday. lt's slower than my regular e-mtb of course, but it's not bad at all considering it's a compact folding bike with a single speed transmission and 16" wheels. Here's the ride on both...

What l will say is, the rear suspension on the Mirider makes a big difference to ride comfort.

Would a folding ebike be an advantage or not, for your intended use. Do you have somewhere safe to store a regular bike during the day? Not sure you need to buy a £3,000 ebike for a four mile commute, unless you plan to use it for general bike rides as well. One of the cheaper ebikes should do...

l was using all kinds of posh oils on my E-MTB and the chain reached the 0.5 wear limit after about 700 miles. After the second new chain at 1400 miles l had to change the cassette as well. After that l stopped using the posh oil and just oiled the chain with GT-85 after every ride. Well what...

l've got the Mirider and you can ask me whatever you want about it. The Mirider is compact, lightweight and folds up small, so if that's what you need then it will be ideal. lt's only a single gear and it spins out at about 18 mph so there's not much point in "derestricting" it. However it's...

lt's the same in the Netherlands where my brother lives, ebikes, e-scooters, ordinary bikes all being used sensibly and few issues. But they have a very good cycling infrastructure with cycle lanes in many places separating the bikes, scooters etc from cars and pedestrians

Heavens that looks impressive but hardly the type of "e-scooter" that the govt plans to legalise

Well yes, l tried one in Decathlon and fell off at the end of the aisle while trying to turn. But these are seriously small wheels, about 6" in diameter. l guess there's none of the gyroscopic stability that you get with larger wheels.

l don't know, my folding ebike has 16" wheels and is perfectly stable/safe. l am used to riding my mountain bike that has 27 1/2" wheels so l wasn't expecting the folding bike to be as good as it is. I've done over 30mph downhill and it still feels stable. The steering is more direct than my...

Pretty much spot on l think. l predict mayhem will ensue.

Going off the lack of response to my post it looks like l am the only person on the forum who has bought one of these bikes apart from the O/P

l didn't make it up, l said it LOOKED like he did it on purpose. Not that he actually did. But the timing is so perfect and the door opens so quickly that it does look like he did it on purpose!

The guy in the car is a tit. He should have looked before opening his door, and he opened it so quickly that it was almost like he did it on purpose.
