    Looking for new bike

    Quite right Stuart and Flecc. On the subject of spelling the word which always amuses me is Pedal, Pedel or Peddle, all three spellings are often seen here.

    Looking for new bike

    Hello Steve and a warm welcome to the forum. A bike that will give two hours of assist could be a tall order, or it could be manageable depending on how fast you go and how much effort you put on the pedals. It's probably true to say that most of the better bikes will go at least 50% further...

    Ebike security locks

    Like Flecc I use a motorcycle chain lock and a movement sensing alarm. I sometimes use a Kryptonite "D" lock as well. I recently got so involved securing my bike to some scaffolding around the building I was visiting that I completely forgot about my expensive Garmin GPS that was simply...

    Large Rear Pannier

    Does anyone know of a reasonably priced single rear pannier capable of holding a spare Ezee battery (380 x 115 x 75mm, 5.5kg). All the ads normally quote the volume but not individual dimensions, and all those I've seen look too small for the 380mm length. My rides are getting longer and...

    Just plain NiMh battery packs

    I don't think that's contentious Andrew, it's more or less in line with the 500 charge/discharge cycle life that most suppliers claim. More moderate users can expect rather longer lives from NiMh though, my oldest (>1 year) and newest (3 months) batteries have identical performance and range...
