Hard to credit anyone could use so awful a backdrop for their photoshoot.

I am not sure there is anything to imply any more stricter rules being applied to e bikes, well "pedelecs", where it probably will lead is to more strictly applying the laws already in place? For the individual that accepts being legal, that poses no issues, indeed it probably ensures legal...

I over the years have transported bikes, albeit 700 wheel road bikes, in a caravan, and now a 26" e bike in the Discovery's cabin, by removing the front wheels and using fork clamps mounted on a removable beam. Clamps of THIS ilk. I use today a length of wood decking cut to give little side...

£450 and covered by the CRA 2015, plus credit card rights if purchased that way, it does not present a life changing financial risk, if any. At the price it can't be anything but budget kit, so if you take it as that way you are not likely to be disappointed. However, if you are seriously...

Arguable in that it depends on one's definition of "value", but clearly the cheapest is the "cheapest". I and I suspect some others put a value on finesse including things as nebulous as pleasure to use, pleasure to own and quality. In respect to cycling, where in our case we cycle only for...

Had a "warning" really been there in the asking price?

Just a matter of time, IMO it has to come.

If it and the regulators go ahead there will quickly follow some forum spring up guiding owners through circumventing the restrictions.;)

Probably best giving up guessing with that track record, 50% wrong. I make no excuses for selecting a crank drive design, for our needs, on more than one front, the logical choice. Clearly a crank drive e bike's chain or other drive system, takes more loading than a push bike's. That's...

"Single point failures" like a puncture, a collapsed wheel a broken fork etc., indeed who designs these bikes with such failings, more who would buy them? Perhaps because these issues come with the territory, we accept them and in some cases can live with them with very little effort, a packet...

I use the ebike almost exclusively on roads and decent state towpaths and the like, with zero harsh terrain off road. My attitude could be very different if I used the bike in high puncture risk places. It came with E bike Marathon tyres and has been totally puncture free over its 4 years and...

It would be "nice" to think VED had that element of logic. However, they totally lost the plot with the "extended exemption from Vehicle Excise Duty to vehicles", allowing classic vehicles where pollution can be massive relative to modern technology vehicles, to get off free.

As it is about getting "facts checked", I think your main premiss re tyres and the damage on tarmac, is probably flawed. Structurally, would not pressure be the damaging factor not weight?

This claims 25 kgs I personally would worry if used with any hang on bike rack, but not at all if on a stand on type rack where it only steadies the bike. AUX X-Bar c/w Stability Strap Kit (maxxraxx.co.uk)

Even if you have to resort to angle grinding it off, these locks are not overly expensive to replace, about £20 for a Trelock offering. I looked at buying the dedicated plug-in cable accessory, but that relatively was expensive, I improvised. I use a heavy [10mm] Kryptonite 2 plus metre cable...

With non e-bikes we found the cycling experience of folders not to our taste, so purchased a bike carrier, to take our 700 road bikes; is that a viable alternative option using what you have? We already had a towball making rack options attractive.

What I am buying an e-bike for, then everything better falls into place after that.

They are so different technologies it is just like comparing apples with onions, they have little more in common than are much the same shape. That being the case if you want to make a considered choice you need to try both, at least both the base technologies and the control concepts.

You might possibly take up the clearance with a "shim" of tin plate, cut from say a coffee tin can? For the torque arm to allow the cable to wind up that must have failed.

The issue here is nothing to do with the strength of the epoxy carbon fibre composite material, I think we all realise that, but its bond to the aluminium, particularly here in this application.
