I think they have left all this far too late There are loads of them around now - so if they want to legalise them with specific restrictions - e.g. max speed 15.5 mph - then there will already be a load of them on the road/pavement/whatever that do not comply with the new regs If they had...

My wife has a crosscity-e and I sometimes take it out on local paths and tracks with no problem Due to the small wheels it is a bit jittery but that is OK when you get used to it - just take it easy to start Also - you do not have mountain bike wheels or tyres - so go easy on really rough...

Main problem with bikes is what you do with them when you are not riding them Not a lot of point in paying loads of money on a carbon thingy to save a few grammes when you end up carrying a heavy locking device so it doesn;t get nicked while you are work! The thing that needs to change is work...

I can see a job advert coming up "Wanted - rear gunner for ebike"

2 comments a) I know/have known quite a few people who have bought a bike throiugh the 'cycle to work' scheme most of them had any intention of cycling into work because there was no practical method of doing so (distance etc etc) but I bet their purchase of the bike through the scheme is...

This is a major problem - round here there have been several thefts (and attempted thefts) where people have been attacked in parks and on canal paths in order to steal bikes. It is normally older kids trying to steal other kids bikes - but some have been adults

Yup - supply and demand Local bike shop has sold its whole shop 4/5 times since lock down started - now they cannot get any more bikes as the warehouses are empty and the factories are only just starting to get going again. This is based on a conversation a couple of weeks ago - it may have...

I could really do with an image from the other side with the wheel rotated so it is just about to pass the front fork and one from directly in front - as close to the wheel as you can get it I need to see what, if anything, the magnet is passing close to Basically to work, the magnet needs to...

I can see the magnetic thing on the spoke - looks like a speed sensor to me Does it pass very close to something on the front fork as the wheel goes round? and if so what is this connected to?? can't quite see that side of the forks to tell

Is it the speed sensor? they are normally a magnet attached to the spoke and a sensor attached to the frame Most are on the back wheel - but the front would work the same It could also be the same thing but connected to a speedo/bike computer - possibly by a previous owner and not removed

generally I would look in the most inaccessible place - they do that! In most cases this means under the bottom bracket - the place where it is most likely to be caked in mud and stuff. Failing that look on the seat tube - maybe on the back of it Give it a good clean and there should be...

Ask this lot - they did mine a few years ago and seemed to make a good job of it https://ebikebatteries.co.uk/

Yup - as above factor in the cost of recelling the battery as it will be rubbish after that age it will either have been through loads of charge cycles - or it will have been unused for far too long If it is that old then I would also look at the technology used. The rules in the UK changed a...

I would just find a small bike shop that is a Raleigh stockist and just take it in - you might get a better response if you are in there in person However, if it is just creaking then I agree that it sounds unlikely to be anything a diag test will find - sounds like just a way of finding a way...

I got some self adhesive patches from Halfords a while ago - totally useless However, a few months ago I had a puncture on a trail near here and was just contemplating a long walk home when a nice man stopped and gave me 2 self adhesive patches of a different make - they worked fine - no...

Vapes are wonderful. My wife switched severla years ago and her snoring is FAR better now - so I am a great fan Also her smell has improved - she moans every year that the Christmas tree smeels of cigarette smoke - even though is hasn;t been near a lit cigarette since before I met her 10 years...

I got a cheap one from Wilco - the mount moves around so would fit anywhere - incluidng the middle Not specific to an iphone - would fit anything Personally I only use it with an old phone - just in case - but works fine!

If you are not allowed anything that help with moving along then I presume this person was on a bike with no gears?? and naturally they didn't - and never - use a car to get the bike to a nice place to ride

I was beside a canal - if I had fallen in the $deity only knows what is under the surface!
