I am afraid of using cruise control in case I fall asleep. Anything more sophisticated such as the adaptive mode seems to me to be downright dangerous and utterly unnecessary.

Years ago I tested a 10amp hour battery going non stop back and fore along our seafront, throttle only at 15 mph. Got 17 miles before I ran out of electricity.

So that's where the username Flecc comes from.

I should also like to see bike racks on public buses.

So what was it like before it needed a new seat, mudguards, cranks and pedals. Also, look how the rack is fixed, how do you get the battery out if you want to charge it inside a house?

Seems to me that 'needs wiring sorting' is a euphemism for completely broken and I don't know what's wrong but a dealer told me that it would cost £400 to sort it out.

Now, a camera, a piece of chalk and two ebikes on this new cycle path. Draw a line across the path to represent the border, photograph two ebikes at the border but on the side marked RoI and label the photo 'Hard Border' Send it to the Press, insisting that the UK government should erect a...

The problem that I see is that you will have to leave an expensive battery in a public place for 6 hours or so.

Yeah. Like Sub Prime mortgages. Apparently nobody saw that one coming.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat#Britain_and_Ireland Seems that dogs are eaten all over the world. And exactly why shouldn't they be eaten? Some cultures have taboos, others consider it advantageous to eat dog. Logically, it does not make sense to differentiate between the animals.

I live on the outskirts of Swansea in a village. Also, it is quite hilly to get back home. Parking in the town centre is impossible, so I carry my folder in the boot, park about a mile from the centre and bike it. At my age, walking far is no longer an option. However, I can understand that in...

Well their video clip shows them standing on the pedals an awful lot. Battery is very small, thus range claims suspect. Chain stays meet the saddle tube too far down leading to unnecessary stress on the saddle tube.

The point that many miss is that China is basically a free manufacturing market. They will make whatever you specify to a price. That does not mean that they are honest, and will try to cut corners if Western manufacturers do not install rigid quality control measures. Equally, the standard of...

I have had two 'Cheap Chinese bikes' one for 7 years one for 5 years and never had any 'endless niggles' And why should I? They use standard fittings, standard electrics, standard battery cells and Chinese frames are top notch. As engineers, the Chinese left the Germans behind years ago. Just...

Nice looking bike but yet again a stupidly short front mudguard.

What about one of re-cell companies?

If you can get a new motor fitted to a Bosch for £300 I am impressed. A new motor for my TONARO cost £300 (Motor and gearbox, Chinese tax, courier and UK Customs duty)

Sorry, my experience is the opposite. I have two Chinese bikes and they have performed well. The TONARO, now 7 years old needed a new sprag clutch this year. The Woosh gale (5 years) a hub motor just motors on, no problems. If anything does go wrong with a Chinese bike you can easily and...

Thanks. I was multiplying 45 minutes by 36 volts!

Do you mean each Amp?
