    Interesting data from Strava...

    I think it actually means quite a bit... all the legislation is set to that speed because its whats seen to be necessary for a bike to be classed as a bicycle. So the fact that even the "serious" bicycle users who populate strava average this speed to me shows that the speed set by the law...

    Now I have another folding bike!!!

    The trade members are actually not supposed to be making suggestions of their own bikes as its seen as advertising, unless specifically asked about their bikes, or its a question in another thread where they are allowed. Otherwise you'd just find your whole thread dominated by... BUY FROM ME...

    Interesting data from Strava...

    Well who'd have predicted this... "Most importantly, cyclists don’t spend all day riding at 30mph. We asked the folks at Strava to pull the average speed of its entire, massive rider database to get a real-world idea of how fast we’re really going. As it turns out, male cyclists ride at just...

    2016 KTM thread

    Its always KTM's aim to make eBikes that look like bicycles, so I don't think you'll ever get something super spaceship looking from KTM. However all the bikes are designed from the ground up to be eBikes, there is never just a motor slapped onto a normal bike, that does not happen. Have a...

    this MUST be the answer

    What you're reading there, is basically an advert that someone at the Telegraph has been duped into thinking its a news story!

    eBikes on BBC Radio Suffolk this morning

    Don't forget d8veh, you are VERY VERY VERY much not the target audience for what that section was supposed to be about. It gets lots of listeners and the point was to describe what an eBike was, what the benefits are etc etc. I'm sure his more indepth review will feature on his site shortly...

    eBikes on BBC Radio Suffolk this morning

    If you're near a computer, or in Suffolk you can catch Mark Murphy http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_suffolk This morning, and there is a discussion about eBikes. We gave their tech guy a panasonic hub drive bike to have a play with, so will be interesting to see what they talk about.

    I don't think you'll find any brand that will honour a warranty, after its been converted, I'm afraid.

    What is the point of 'fat bikes'

    They are the ultimate n+1 bike. There isn't really a point, other than having a laugh and enjoying riding for the sake of it. I can see the point of the e ones more than the non e if I'm honest, but they are great fun, and they do roll surprisingly well.... and for a lot of people a bicycle...

    Do you swing both ways?

    There is some good insight into the minds of the uneducated (generally mountain bikers) minds on the recent discussion about eBikes on WideOpen magazine (on their facebook page). They've had a Haibike to test for a few weeks, and there is some serious hate going on from their readers who...

    hi Jim. There is a build of the eRace Ps happening next week, the 29" wheel size bikes have all pre-sold to dealers and I don't think any of them will give them up to supply your dealer in Edinburgh. However there is spare stock of the 27.5" wheel size eRace P in all sizes, so they could...
