    Insurance

    Hey Mike, You're more than likely going to get the best deal tagging it onto your house insurance. That usually costs £3-£4 extra a month at most. Alternatively you're looking at £90-£100 a year at most cycle insurers, with my preferred being Bikmo. Anthony.

    Pendleton

    The Pendleton features a cheaper Bafang motor and a 300Wh battery. The battery is by a brand called Phylion which I cant say I've ever heard of so would imagine it uses cheap cells that will deteriorate over time. I would recommend trying the bike out, it may be as much assistance as you...

    There will be a strut which runs on the underside of the mudguard to the brace between the seatstays. The Specialized Vado, Scott E-Silence and Kalkhoff integrale all use similar designs which take 15kg.

Fitting is relatively straight forward - however if you lose the cable inside the frame you may need to drop...

    Advice no longer require - please ignore

    Hi Dave, All road-legal eBikes within the UK come in at 250W which is more than enough power for pretty much all types of riding. The main difference you will see between motors is the torque figure. The 2 bikes recommended above from Chain Reaction come with lower end motors, Bosch Active Line...

    Gates Carbon Drive problems

    Hi Tim, The belt falling off sounds like a tension problem, as they do have a center track to stop any side to side movement. How much movement is in the belt up and down when it is in place? There are a couple of adjustment screws which can be tightened very quickly if there is excess movement.

    Electric bike advice, concern re Bosch CX?

    Hi EddiePJ, Some of the CX motors suffered from a premature bearing failure, whilst this was not happening on all the CX motors there was a large number that failed so Bosch have updated the bearing design going forward to prevent the failure. Their warranty is really good though and any motor...

    Easy Motion Atom Lynx 6 27.5 Pro the no-brainer choice over the Turbo Levo?

    Hi Kenny, We would always recommend trying both bikes, even though the Atom has a larger battery and some differences in spec, the Levo does have quite a proven geometry that has been popular with riders in the UK for some time now.

    levo fsr comp Vs Powerfly 9 LT

    Hi Anthony, We sell both of these bikes and I have ridden them myself and they are both truly great bikes. In terms of suspension travel, there is only 10mm in it so both bikes will be able to handle the same terrain. The Levo does look and ride better in my opinion - I prefer how the Brose...
