    new bike with high torque

    Hi Emilia You can find a review of Roller by Cycling Weekly's Nick Busca at this link. And a free battery upgrade by using the coupon "Pedelecs" at our website. Your nearest stockist is M8 Cycles, just south of Glasgow. Hope this helps.

    As the two Daves have said above and store dry and cool. But charge at room temperature.

    Is an electric bike for me?

    Your 10 mile commute should take around 45 mins by electric bike and will be a perfect start to your days work. If you lived in Derbyshire you could hire one for a few days to test out your route, but I guess there must be some other advantage to living in the south. Definitely try one! Much...

    Hi there, could do with some help !

    Perhaps the recent November drop in ambient temperatures with the onset of winter could be having an effect. I'm not sure if lower temperatures help expose a weak cell, or exacerbate voltage sag. Maybe someone else knows... Have you dabbled with any settings at the display recently? Battery...

    What is the state of the recumbent e-bike market?

    Trikes and Bikes in Sutton Coldfield is worth a call. We recently donated them a decent framed 20" trike with a battery issue that we'd been given which they may have sorted by now...

    Hi I'm new

    Oh - understood. It's not my thing to comment on other forum traders or to recommend any bike to you without a test ride. I'm guessing you've taken your test rides and are happy with your choice - that's always best.

    Um... Kizza welcomes Kizza... ? Someone slipping up? Dual identity perhaps? But who would do such a thing? And why?

    Ebike insurance

    From personal experience I'm happy to recommend Lexham Insurance who seem to offer quite attractive rates for e-bikes.

    Lightweight ebike

    "Any company that sells goods over the internet has to allow 14 days for a customer to change their mind", is the gist of the distance selling regulations. We offer this too (of course). It is though a real faff to have to disassemble, repackage and return something as substantial as a bike...

    Hi, I have an almost new Juicy Bikes electric bike for sale £400!

    That's a real bargain - with a new battery should be perfect to go. If only we had the room I would be buying that back! Good luck with your sale, I'm sure someone will be very happy with that bike.

    Lightweight ebike

    The only bike from your list that I feel wouldn't cope with your local hills is the GTech, which is a bike best suited for short commutes along flat routes. The best way to realistically find your perfect bike is to test ride. I personally love our Roller, but I would never recommend it to any...

    HMRC gives £700 million IT contract to Amazon.

    Amazon are odd. They do not take profits but simply re-invest to acquire new business, increasing the value of their shares but paying no dividend. It's interesting to see where they are going with this strategy: simply "killing off competition". Seems to me to be a new kind of capitalism -...

    Electric assist offsets the extra drag that more comfortable, fatter tyres induce.

    New bike info

    7.5 miles is a nice distance to commute by bike. A 35 to 40 min trip and a great way to start the day. You should go for it, starting once or twice a week at first. You'll soon be looking forward to it each day and getting much fitter quite quickly. You can get a quote for the CTW scheme at...

    Need for 8mi one way commute want style and ease

    The Juicy can be configured so that its throttle works to 15mph without pedaling, but riding it that way is illegal. Have your company registered with a Cycle To Work scheme? Off topic I know, but could save you hundreds of pounds...
