Route planning in the lakes is very very important either hiking or cycling. As stated for every up in mtrs you generally, on a circular, descend same mtrs. Try routes that only include one of the big three Hardknot, Wrynose or Honister. 30 miles range in the lakes, covers a very large...

Sorry John never ridden with swept bars but can expect them to cause less vibratory numbness therefore less need to alternate position.

Stand up straight, drop your hands to your sides and see what position you’re hands sit naturally at. This is the angle most comfortable and should suit the 45 degree handlebars. But vibration causes numbness so being able to change hand positions for me feels better, more comfortable favouring...

Sutty86 and Reading newbie sorry but I couldn’t resist 138 miles and bike rides like a dream

Hi welcome JasperG , please chip in with comments, feelings, findings and advice on the topics that move you to do so. Very informative forum, possibly not for yourself but to us laymen its great.

Great news on the bike, tell us in a new personal review, after a few rides, your findings and feelings on all aspects pertaining to the “ Steed” Must inform you if you plumb for marathon plus please take care on selection of width. 28c really really do fit higher and wider than stock tyres and...

Woosh, Wisper, Juicy, kudos and Oxygen get mentioned apart from value for money they have very good customer service and warranties. This should not be under estimated when purchase is intended and new over used always, budget applicable.

Sorry m8 the laws are in place to produce a level playing field for Everyone,regardless. Bicycles are a mode of transportation that has been revolutionised by the addition of battery driven motors. Making the mode of transport accessible to people who are either to unfit or physically impaired...

Hi when you venture into the wonderful world of ebikes whatever your choice, I know you’ll wish you had done so earlier. Patience is a virtue.

Test ride was 23.84 miles, moving time 1:39, elevation 1,656ft, avg speed 14.3, max 31.8 mph. Ride done in light rain, wind easterly 12 mph. Assist level approximately 50/50 between 1 and 3 with level 5 used for a few hundred yards of the steepest sections. Battery range indicator on control...

As I transport my bike on a roof bar rack so had to weigh less than 17kg fully loaded. Not many around apart from expensive Orbea Boardmans or ribble. The Woosh Faro at 16kg perfect for me, and a nice riding bicycle to boot. If you have patience then after lock down then I foresee some...

Originally was going to go 32c but got a deal on two 28c tyres and when fitted look much wider and higher than original detonators and provide plenty grip. Really have to get a grip on expenditure, but think a riser may enhance the look.

Hi NYC sincerely hope your problems are solved and believe once you post pics with a bit more information on type, then the Ebike gurus will advise .

Hi Sutty86 I’ve bought spare inner tubes presta valve 60mm fit great. As for tyres I plumbed for marathon plus, supposedly bomb proof, but come with a weight penalty. Personally I think they perform great, look wider and higher on the rims and feel more assured on the loose stuff. The freely...

Hi Woosh some type of battery terminal isolators possibly built into that elusive cover for cradle when not in use?

Possibly detrimental to the manufactures who produce the stealth bikes with internal batteries? Might struggle if the trend moves toward larger volume batteries or will the higher capacity even out the discrepancy

Thanks nealh hopefully my internal battery will last a few years. So by the time I replace technology will allow larger capacity for the same weight and size penalty. Cheers

Forgive my ignorance but is a spur not a fail safe that only allows current from one battery or the other even if both are turned on accidentally. Probably codswallop but only one turned on, then off before the other turned on would that not work?

Mmmmm phrases like advanced overvolting, and parallel batteries in series, kinda sends shivers down my spine . To say my electrical skills are limited is a huge understatement.From the first 100 miles I know I can easily achieve 30 miles range and this will be 99.5% of my rides, so am in no...

Woosh Faro, juicy ticket in that order for price, other way round for aesthetics (just). Think a stealth ebike ie battery hidden in down tube, would suit you down to the ground. I’m 6foot and a cream bun under 90kg and have the Faro which I think looks well,rides nicely and copes with hilly...
