    Transporting E-bikes are a nightmare!

    Update: The one I use has now been superceded by the Thule 970. Still a reasonably inexpensive way of carrying 2 bikes (lighten the load for a e-bikes by removing saddle, battery etc etc) - £60. (Although it does need a car with a towbar - and a "trailer board" - still a cheap option)...

    Lost my keys. Bike not made anymore but I have the key numbers

    Many thanks to you both. I will certainly explore those two options. Chances are the keys that have gone missing are quite "simpe" so, yes, maybe a bit of "bumping" will sort it.

    Lost my keys. Bike not made anymore but I have the key numbers

    My two (antique?!) Tesco Hopper Shoppers are still going strong - although not used that often. So rarely used in fact, that the keys have gone missing. Ive searched high and low but no sign. Luckily (?) I did keep a note of the numbers on the keys but as the numbers are "004" and "071" , I...

    What happened to Pedelecs?!

    Brilliant! Yes - thanks - that is much more like it. Pity it (was) hidden away (a bit)

    What happened to Pedelecs?!

    I confess, I havent visited for a while - but what happened? All electric bike forum stuff lumped together under one forum topic? The balance has all changed - now more about selling/classifieds/reviews etc. Pity

    Transporting E-bikes are a nightmare!

    I've never had a problem and I must have transported my (Woosh Big Bear) ebike over a few hundred miles at least using this type of carrier - though I agree, I wouldnt fancy carrying 2 ebikes. Having said that, it all depends on the total weight. By the way - this is the one (Halfords used to...

    Actually, I tell a lie (Halfords used to sell it) - this is the one I use: https://www.cyclerepublic.com/exodus-2-bike-towbar-mount-cycle-carrier.html

    How to replace an e-bike tube without removing the wheel.

    Cant remember what mine looked like but, if you ordered right size of Gaadi (i.e. equivalent size to the inner that was already there), then there shouldnt be a problem. (Maybe pumping it up will sort it all out? As far as "wrong valve" is concerned, that shouldn't be a problem

    How to replace an e-bike tube without removing the wheel.

    There should be no problem fitting a Gaadi if you get a puncture. No need to remove the wheel (or loosen it). Pull out the damaged inner tube and tie it up out of the way (so the puncture can be repaired later). There is usually a way of tying it up out of the way of any moving parts. Feed the...

    Fitness trackers

    Sorry - no idea. I actually don't use it when I'm cycling. I'm sure others would have some information

    Fitness trackers

    I bought the Huawei band 2 pro also. £49 from Argos. I love a gadget and this one works really well in my opinion.

    Alternative Lithium battery use

    Unfortunately, so far, I have failed to track down a 24v golf trolley that's sold in UK.

    Alternative Lithium battery use

    Even better! - if I can find another Frog battery "holder" - like the one on the bike, then I just have to fit that to the golf trolley. Then the battery interchanges easily.

    Alternative Lithium battery use

    Thanks. My current golf trolley runs (badly) on a 12v, 33ah battery with a 200W motor, which is broadly consistent with your guess of 180W. Its designed to do 36 holes but just covering 18 (maybe 27) would be fine by me. My preferred option would be to use the Frog battery with my current...

    Alternative Lithium battery use

    My frog batteries are rated at 8.5aH (8.5 amps for one hour, or 4.25 amps for 2 hours, etc). So, when you say "Your frog batteries can give about 15 amps - maybe 20A max." , do you mean that I would have to use both of them to get this result? A round of golf (at least the way I play it!) lasts...

    Alternative Lithium battery use

    Once again - thanks d8veh. Its a push trolley, not ride on, so that part should be OK. So.......as long as the golf trolley (motor?) is 24v then the Frog battery will be compatible (the only issue being how far it will travel) - it would not be possible to "convert" the Frog battery it so it...

    Alternative Lithium battery use

    I'm determined to find another use for my two "frog" batteries (each of which is spec'd at 24v, 8,5ah) - especially as my old Hopper Shoppers are hardly ever used these days. I'm having problems with my golf electric trolley so I'm thinking I have several options: 1. Find an electric trolley...

    Hey thats cheating.

    I despair. Cheating is one of the most depressing aspects of modern day sport. Plus - this sort of thing can make e-bikes (unfairly) even more of an anathema for the "traditional" cyclist.

    Complete eBike kit just 3.6kg weight and price £225? Surely not...

    Agreed - but retailers/manufacturers insist on making distance/mileage claims and while they continue to do so, it seems to me that these claims need to be based on some standard "test". Rightly or wrongly, prospective purchasers (especially "newbies") really do want to get an idea of distance -...
