I think the big proper retailers and the manufacturers are going to find e-bike sales increasingly competitive next year..there's some new names entering the market offering very good products factory direct at amazing prices even without any discounts (Dell style).. (what was the latest one we...

Is this why the Speedict has a temperature sensor and gives temp readouts? I still haven't figured how that works or how/where it's fitted yet? Or is that sensor to go on the battery?

Where did you get that from Mike? Mine is the cheapo PVC type from China, manufactured by Bestway..I got mine from the retailer Dunelm Mill. 4% cashback and free delivery from Topcashback.

Thanks flecc! The mystery is at last solved :) So they were a posh retail store? Similar to the other one.. Liberty & Co, that operated around the turn of the 20th century and sold very fashionable stuff in art nouveau designs by Dr christopher Dresser, Archibald Knox and other famous designers...

These retail stores are very naughty for doing these long-running discount advertised offers with manipulated pricing..often quoting higher original prices they never even sold out, or for very long anyway..(especially supermarkets), there's been some action taken by the government to try and...

*morphix looks at Jackhandy with a shared glazed expression* :o

Thanks for the tip might be worth a shot. I suffer with my back and they're the only thing I can sleep on which gives a decent nights sleep without waking with backache! I have one of those metamorphic chair beds which converts into a lounger/bed and chair.. it's hideously uncomfortable without...

While we're off-topic... I'll go even more off-topic and ask if any Londoners here know anything about a hotel or shop in London called "The Regent"? One of my hobbies is collecting and dabbling in antiques and collectables... and I picked up this old compact ages ago amongst some things.. it's...

That sounds about right, thanks flecc..one destined for the bin then I guess or maybe as a floor liner for the loft to avoid landfill.. it's "velvety" on the top like carpet ;-)

I'm puzzled by that too. That reads as though the current output from the motor increases when the motor is operating and can be greater than the current input? If so, is that due to the physics/electrical effect of the motor generating energy, like a generator does?

Completely off-topic so excuse posting here but I thought someone might have some ideas.. I've got one of those air beds which I sleep on as my main bed and either I've got a puncture or the valve is defective as it's suddenly started losing air... (what a time to happen when I can't get a...

Check that handbrake works ;-)

Agreed. Just unfortunate for the buyer and if the law was clearer this wouldn't have happened in most likelihood. I agree with your last point too that more cases are likely.. definitely wouldn't recommend anyone buying one of those scooter ebikes unless its for use on private land.

That's good point Jeremy about giving thought to safety if having a cruise control... without effective e-brake this could be a potentially lethal mod on an e-bike eh. Important to check it's working correctly and your brakes/motor cut-off regularly.

Great discount at half price! January sales started early ;-) Here's a link to it if anyone interested: Halfords | Carrera Subway Limited Edition Hybrid Bike 2012 -20" Don't forget you can get 3% off by purchasing via TopCashBack too.

I've added the Irish Republic to the list of regions so our first Irish charge point can register if they want to ;-)

Blimey that is a steep hill by the look of it. I imagine some cars/vehicles have trouble with that ;-) Can you imagine trying to get up that in snow?

I agree tillson, definitely a moral issue this one. The law as we know is at the very least ambiguous when it comes to legality of bikes..something that is CLEARLY illegal though or likely to attract the attention of the old bill, I think the seller has a moral duty to point this out and tell...

A simple solution! I love seeing peoples different approaches to cruise control. Some controllers do have this feature built-in though and you can "program" them by holding the throttle a few seconds after connecting a certain pin (I think) on controller. I'm not sure how practical the...

I think if there was intent though to mislead someone, there would still be grounds to sue someone, even in a private sale. That would be difficult to prove though I imagine unless the seller admits it in court and the court is satisfied the seller knew what he was saying wasn't true. If that...
