I believe Local Authorities refer to the roadside walkways as "footways" here, the other side of the pond, it is "sidewalks", these terms clear differentiate them from the "footpath" a right of way. Whilst unless dedicated as a shared way for pedestrians and cyclist, then cycling is...

Part of your quest can be achieved with the App Maps ME, there is an Apple version. Big pluses are it is free, and map sections can be installed on the phone/tablet. It can create a "cycle" specific route as one option, but you can't get involved in that as in planning a loop [ or I have not...

The Tern image shows a belt, most probably the Gates Carbon which features a central guide making it very unlikely to come adrift, or oil up trousers/legs, but for safety IMO still needs some guarding.

They are IMO geared to suit the European pedelec market, which by law limits the assisted speed to 25 kph. For those wishing to exceed that speed, then during that time they will not be assisted, the assistance there being simply a hill climbing aid though only where the speed is below the legal...

Not necessarily, in that the sprocket is wider so has lower surface pressure, throughout its life runs with a healthy roller chain rather than with an abused one, and does not have its tooth flanks rubbed by the chain being forced on and off its sides. Whatever undoubted attributes a deraileur...

I would suggest the chain wear could be very different indeed between a single speed drive to a hub gear and a multi speed deraileur, as several factors are markedly different. A single speed drive will use an eight of an inch roller chain, if not heavier duty, even just a 7 speed deraileur, a...

I would hang in a bit longer to see how things unfold facilitating a test ride, of importantly several, they do feel different.

Not universally, there is the Riese & Müller Supercharger GX Rohloff, but of course not a budget bike by any means. R & M Super Charger Rohloff Rohloff discussion.

Probably as the OP was asking for a mid drive bike, not rear hub motor?

It is a 2015 MY Kalkhoff Agattu Premium Impulse 8, in the small frame size, step through with the 26" wheel option, though purchased new as obsolete stock in early 2017. Nearly identical to : US version Agattu 8 The UK version has different front & rear light units, the Gates belt and...

Just checked, it is not corrected yet on the online downloadable PDF, on the Ramblatta's Webpage. Is it one of those things that gets reset over night? Very good feature you have there to include this on product sheets, IMO.

You have another typo on page 14 of the Rambletta Manual, Essential maintenance, saying the "Faro", is a low maintenance bike.

The Flu jab is targeted for a specific strain long before what turns out to be the dominant strain is known, here with the CV we know specifically the target. It is an immense help knowing what your working on.

Again, it does not identify why the UK uniquely is being predicted to suffer so high a percentage mortality from CV. Clearly post the event we will have info on the numbers, but the question concerns the prediction, not the results. Well, those getting through will have access to the count.

As an observation, I point out the earlier posts showing belt failures, do not feature the "Gates" carbon belt, with central tracking, most commonly encountered in quality e-bikes. So I suggest does not necessarily reflect any failing inherent in specifically that Gates design and their...

If talking Bosch drive units are you sure Bosch allow the dealer to honour their warranty despite the fitment of dongles? Or is it more a case they are economical with the truth?

It is your bike to do what you like with it, drive a water pump or not. However, the Warranty is a contract with terms and conditions, once they are infringed then the obligations under the warranty cease. As you admit you reversed the wiring on a component, and I suspect the Bosch Warranty has...

Possibly, but my brush with VW's restrictive practice was in 1971, two years before we joined the EEC, time will tell how enlightened we become, if indeed it is the EU at all that is the issue with Bosch's stance here.

It is the Bosch business model for their E-Drive bike motor system, not they or your LBS singling you out. IMO, a serious negative consideration, not readily made known when purchasing bikes with their system. A failing in my case only learnt here. Just wonder how in the US with their...
