I think they will have to wait a bit longer to try and force digital currency on everyone. The USA would burn for a start. It’s scary how quick everything has gone 1984. I have no qualms about moving to a BRICS country in the future. I support the opposite side to 99% of people regarding...

We will see more of this. A lot of reduced bikes are still sat unsold. One of Mike Ashley’s stores is selling that haibike for £3k. No doubt they were the first to reduce it to £3k, and he will be interested in buying unsold stock sat in warehouses around the world.

This is £3k at a few different sellers.

No one in the west is really any better off than us. When the petrodollar ends the USA is screwed. This shocked me and not many things do. No wonder inflation is through the roof.

Is not something I feel strongly about. Apart from when a cyclist thinks they own the road or does something stupid, which is very rare. Its always the ones in full Lycra with half a Easter egg on their heads. :) I wouldn’t want to see kids banned from cycling. There are enough fat lil shits...

Insurance will obviously be massively cheaper. Cyclists can’t cause the damage a motorist can. Bikes are now stupidly expensive but don’t cost anywhere near what a decent car does. When motorist say cyclist should be licensed, taxed and insured. They mean it should be a legal obligation If they...

I wear tactical clothes on site. Lightweight and crazy warm.

I know how strong carbon weave can be, but I’ve read carbon bikes can be quite brittle if dropped? I did consider a Dengfu carbon frame because they’re relatively cheap and easy to replace. They are also designed around bafang motors which are also cheap and easy to replace. I ruled out carbon...

If I could buy a clean 2 year old bike for 50% I’d buy it, at 33% I definitely would. i’m seeing clean 3 year old Kenevo comps for £4200 when a new one is £5k and a expert is £6,500. No wonder nothing on eBay is selling.

That’s what I thought initially. I was thinking if I bought a nice bike and I had a change of heart I wouldn’t lose too much. But after watching eBay for a week, nothing is selling. Prices are crazy to me though when compared to cars, and cars have transferable/extendable warranty. Cars don’t...

Im shocked by the weight of emtb’s in general. Ive only just started reading about the different bafang kits. I noticed on a few videos they seemed a bit noisy. As @georgehenry says. The support on these extortionately expensive bikes is lacking. I can’t think of another item of the same value...

I nearly bought a yamaha Haibike for a great price. Carbon frame put me off, but it’s still on my shortlist. Bargain at £3k. The issues with big brand motors make bafang attractive.

That’s overly harsh. I admit I’ve gone mental at cyclists 100’s of times over the years. One of my biggest annoyances as a driver. My attitude was always “wankers should have to pay tax and insurance”. I admit I’m now a hypocrite:)

He got really lucky everything considered. That’s worst case scenario pretty much too.

Contacted a local bike shop who make frames and convert bikes to ebikes with baffang motors. Going to see what they say before I go to Evans and spend more than I wanted to. I’ve been looking at new bikes and decided it’s better to spend around £6k on something I really like, than £4k on...

That looks nasty. I only drink when I’m out and I’m less likely to do something stupid stoned than if I’m not. I’m brave on 4 wheels not 2. I can’t see the traffic police being interested in regular looking Emtb’s. But they are a odd sort of person in my experience.

Has anyone on here ever been stopped? Police like easy convictions. They actually told me domestic violence was their priority when I was reporting a burglary. Im trying to work out if traffic police have any interest? I’m certain regular police wouldn’t be interested.

All my BMWs apart from a 96 318is (first car, loved it so much) have been S engined not N ) More like the idiots need x drive at speed rather than RWD

Not surprised at all. Traffic are the ***** you need to look out for. Normally in 3 series touring round my way. I wouldn’t waste my pi55 if I seen one burning.

Has anyone on this forum ever been pulled by the police and had their bike checked?
