OK - firstly - by cold I mean normal UK cold weather and I also mean England/Wales - not serious Scotland stuff Anyway - I went out today for a ride - Bosch ActivLine with the 300 battery pack Over the summer I could easily do 2 rides of over 20 miles and still have enough battery left to get...

Makes sense - that is the sort of thing I was having problems with. The main point to me is that every other ebike I have had (which is several) you could put the battery on charge with boxing gloves on - this expects far too much care and concentration. However, as I THINK I have said...

yup - I got my Powacycle Salisbury for £220 and it lasted 11 years before I sold it - still going well!! So it can be done - but risky

As mentioned above - the battery is the biggest problem. You need to know how it has been stored, how it has been used and how it has been charged the bad things to look out for are a) stored for long periods with no use or charge b) been through many charge cycles c) been charged at low...

I find that proper road cyclists on good bikes can pass me easily when I am going at 15 mph If I can pass them at that speed then they need to train more or admit that they are just leisure cyclists on an expensive bikes with lycra for fashion

I haven't had this problem with the lycra crowd at all They normally just ride past me - if they stop at lights they often say hello

Thanks all the bolts seem tight - I might take it to the LBS where I got it and see if he can see anything - especially as it is less than a year old

If you have only had it for a couple of months and it was new (you don't say so I am assuming) then I would contact the place you got it from before trying anything It is under guarantee but if you fiddle then they could say you made it worse If it was online from Raleigh then they will...

You could also look at the Raleigh range - the Array should be in your price range Overall I would look carefully at what you can get through local bike shops - it is good to have the support available if something goes wrong

Hi all My Motus has developed a creak. Certainly not the saddle as the bolt holding it on broke last week and I had to ride back standing up (which is harder than you would thinkl!) I think it happens when I put pressure on the left pedal - especially if I am pushing hard - but it is not...

I have read about avoiding the cold - but on thinking about it my old bike was stored in the shed for years and the batteries seemed to be fine - so maybe the cold isn't too bad when storing them

I agree - check the exact terms Also - check the exact terms for how they expect the bikes to be secured My bike specific policy needs them to be locked to the frame of the shed and by a 'Sold Secure' Gold standard lock a slightly cheaper ebike would only use silver The house insurance is...

I have had an ebike since about 2011 - found a Powacycle Salisbury for £220 - just over 1 year old!!! I initially only used it for exercise and fresh air but it meant that I actually got some exercise whereas before I did very little. After a while I started using it when I needed a small...

the main wisdom seems to say to keep it indoors and don't keep it outside, especially in cold weather. If it is unlikely to be used for several weeks try and store it at about 50% charge but - most importantly - do not allow the charge to drop too much so keep an eye on it Personally we have 2...

I hate to recommend Halfords - but my wife has a Cross City-e folder - currently £999 We got hers a few years ago so they may have changed - but it has been pretty reliable. We took it to Cornwall a few weeks ago and I took it up and down a load of hills with no problems. The one we have has a...

Personally, if the speed sensor is something that you want 9and I do) a low range 'cycle computer' with a magnet on the front wheel is really cheap - and can be fitted in a few minutes - so I would do that and have a dedicated device rather than one linked to the BMS and motor I know that my...

I agree with the above You do not say why you cannot fix the puncture yourself - is this a knowledge problem, tool problem or a physical problem if possible get a puncture repair kit and some tyre levers and , if necessary a spanner that fits the wheel nuts - or better still a socket set and a...

so maybe someone with a Raleigh could get a new charger from Halfords?? as far as them being identical is concerned - the battery and drive system may be the same but is the frame and other stuff?? I did try both out about a year ago and the Raleigh felt better to me - but that may be just me

I had an Array and it was great - except for a problem that they have now fixed - but it was massively better than my previous ebike, which I had had for 10 years.

My first thought when I saw this post was 'just Google it' so I did can;t find one!! which is a bit weird - I would have thought things like this would be one the Raleigh web site. Especially as chargers are often something people would want a spare of - for example - one in work and one at...
