Thanks - I will look at the 'away from home' next time My main worry is what conditions they would put on it but as I now have a 'Sold Secure Gold' lock if I am going anywhere where I will out of sight it SHOULD be OK probably but I would advise people to specifically check with the insurer...

There does seem to be little consistency between insurance companies about what is covered and when They seem to cover 'shed contents' - including bikes - but maybe not ebikes (Tesco a couple of years ago did this - may have changed now) Values of 'shed contents' varies a lot Value outside...

Most home insurance cover the bike being stolen - but only from the home so if you take it shopping and it gets stolen from outside Tesco (or whatever) then that is your problem mine would cover me for £500 max not really much for an ebike plus Kryptonite lock plus $stuff In the shed - £5000...

Hi all Last year I changed houyse insurance when I discovered that the current Tesco house insurance specifically excluded all ebikes - of any value so they would happily cover your £3000 road bike - but not a £700 ebike - madness maybe this has changed by now but anyway I changed So - this...

Hmmm OK - good point - I was not aware of that When I had my problems last year , after they sorted it all out for me I sent them an email thanking them for their help. I received a reply which included the following paragraph "We do have to look at situations and resolve to what is best for...

TBH I get almost no abuse - people on 'proper'' road bike often pass me with no problem - often with a polite nod or something Sounds like it is a regional thing maybe?? I also wonder at people saying you are exceeding the speed limit - how can a person who cycle regularly not realise that there...

That looks way better than the one mine had I suggest going to a shop that has them in stock and having a look - if you are honest about why you want to go they should be helpful - if you are anything like me you will end up buying something while you are there - maybe they can even order it for...

It looks like Raleigh have switched the charger to one that connects to the port on the bottom of the battery - where it connects to the bike. This is a much more robust socket - and should fix the problem although anyone buying one should check they get the new type and not the old type from...

I would suggest ringing around Raleigh dealers in your area and going to have a look at one. If anyone on this site does so can they post the result on here please?? I have noticed that the LBS that I bought my Array from has stopped stocking them - they have had a couple of Motus's on display...

I suspect that it would be better to keep on old one for spares - it would only need one or 2 bits to fail and you would spend more than you would get for the bike The main consideration is that this gives you 2 batteries - hence more range potentially. Or - when the batteries start loosing a...

It does seem that manufacturers are sometimes reluctant to say what the Nm power of the motor is. I was have tried to find this for a few ebikes and only find it occasionally Does anyone know if there is a source with this data on it??

OK - to be clear - the model I had was the rear hub drive version with the battery on the 45 degree down tube I should also note that in several ways it has better equipment than the Motus - mode like the Motus Grand Tour e.g. lights powered from the battery and controlled from the handlebars...

The Motus is quite different to the Array - they are built around the Bosch system I used to have an Array - for about 4 months Personally I thought it was pretty good - WAY better than my old ebike I had had for about 11 years BUT - and this is a big but Charging was a pain the battery came...

I would get a cycle cam - but I don;t like the 'Go Pro' type things as they are too big I also hate the idea of having one moiunted on the top of a helmet because I often ride on paths and my head brushes against overhanging branches. One time a branch grabbed my helmet and almost pulled me off...

Sorry - bit of a rant Anyway - went for a ride late afternoon - road from this estate goes nicely downhill for a while which gets my legs spinning Then it goes flat for a while until it reaches a roundabout As this is an ebike forum - obviously I was riding an ebike - and as usual - I was at or...

HI - welcome First thing - batteries hate being left unused for any length of time - especially if they are Lithium type They slowly discharge and the chemistry changes and they basically destroy themselves. So - it seems likely that the battery will be useless after all that time not being...

There have been a few people attacked round here - on normal bikes rather than ebikes but the same applies It seems to have been older school kids that are bored etc I do find that going shopping with a new ebike is a problem - with my old 10 year old ebike was a bit battered and I often left it...

WHen I got my current ebike I got three punctures in the first 3 months - in spite of 'puncture resistant' tyres (not Schwalbe) - I put some stuff like slime in and have had no problems since. I did get a slow puncture at one point but I stopped and left it for a few minutes (I was due some...

I have had this problem - I now make sure the stuff projecting above the bars is slightly loose so it can twisted round a bit - and - as said above - just turn it over on some grass. I also put a jacket or something under the bars for extra protection ALso make sure that you know how to take...

and how long do we have to wait before the first e-scooter being used on a pavement injurers a pedestrian because - good luck riding you escooter along a road with even minor potholes - so clearly you will just use the pavement I just hope it doesn't result in a backlash against all e-thingies...
