Not knowing the area and poor response from agents is the reason for change of strategy. The main issue is as I land in the uk im homeless, to do hotels at £50 a night till I find a place could work out expensive. I haven't ruled out Scotland I will travel there once I have my feet on the...

I was initially however because of limited rental opportunities within my budget in Ayr, decided to do a short term 1 month stay in the Durham area and use as a base while I explore Cumbria, Durham and Ayreshire. Will review final resting place after evaluation.

Dave, you are a living ebike encyclopedia, I'm saving this thread for reference, thanks once again.

I suppose would need to secure the pannier bags to something otherwise they would walk ?

For road and mtb don't think it would work but if its a dutch or city bike with a rear pannier saddle attached then couldn't the locks live in there between lock ups?

I mean… do you think any one of the below are more or less likely to get stolen or makes no difference? 1. Full Suspension mtb 2. Hardtail mtb 3. Hybrid 4. Road Bike 5. City Bike 6. Comfort or Cruiser

I just looked st the ebay ad, quite a high-end full suspension mtb. Do you think that their is a pecking order in which type of bike thieves choose to steal?

I saw that video as well rb, bike build look excellent but not available in the uk.

All great input, very grateful, when I return to the UK I will be looking to rent property in either Durham County or Cumbria, I'll be looking at towns in those regions that have bike friendly supermarkets and coffee shops. Using a DLock and Chain Lock at all times secured where possible to...

Great input, I like the insurance pics, receipts never thought of that.

Thank you for putting me back on track Dave, I'm in agreeance and after a lot of deliberation will adhere to the back hub, what I have found is some of the smaller independent fitters are avid younger mtb trail enthusiasts, they can be a little biased on their own preference when discussing...

Right, I see. My needs not so critical as only for town riding, does the power assist kick in as soon as you pedal or does it take a bit of momentum first?

I enjoyed reading this, I must agree the mid-drives do look sleek and tidy. What is your view on the Shimano E8000 in comparison to the Bosch CX and Yamaha ?

Available to pre-order now for shipping by the end of the year, this rubber-coated steel lock is the future of bike security. It’s unlocks from your smartphone, sends you a text when it detects it’s being tampered with and even notifies your family for you if you’re involved in an accident — and...

Thanks for that d8veh. I don't use pubs much but like a coffee shop the other excursion would be the local shop or tescos.

Hmm, got u, have to pick shops and coffee shops then where can possibly lock inside or where there is some sort of guard. Insurance seems a must.

Secure Bike Lock

Yes, its worrying but two locks and a siren alarm may have deterred. It looks like insurance is going to be compulsory.

I read a snippet from d8veh, which prompted me to post this, d8veh quote "If parking in public place while at work it won't last two weeks" Is ebike/bike theft that rampant in the UK? For short shopping trips are there no secure areas where the bike can be securely double locked and...

I suppose a lot revolves around where the customer plans to ride? Smooth surfaces or bumpy?
