    Batteries Charging Routine

    Yes... lets open this Pandora's box for a while. What is the most optimal charging routine? I have seen so many opposing opinions on this one... So... 1. To charge switch battery off, plug charger to electric socket and switch it on. Connect charger to battery. 2. Charge battery to some...

    E-Bikes: The phenomenon, The Problem.

    I think the slower you ride the more likely you will wet caught. Having that in mind if police tries to stop me my plan is as follows: 1. Ditch my helmet. I ordered five: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/bell-tracker-helmet They should last a while... 2. Change direction towards nearest...

    Bike chased late Friday night by loons

    I am sorry Guerney for what you have experienced. I might be wrong, but I think those idiots were attracted by your specific bike lights. They usually gather in numbers and they feel brave when together. If I were you I would avoid that area.

    E-Bikes: The phenomenon, The Problem.

    Makes me think what consultations are for. Some time ago my employer invited all for consultation. Everybody opposed changes. They did it anyway... Just a waste of time to make a false impression our opinion matters.

    lessons learnt and now even more advice required

    This is exactly what we have you for. One can find a nice bike. One can take detailed pictures and post them here. Then get "Seneagle approved" stamp and permission to proceed with conversion. I didn't fit torque arm on my aluminum fork. You have just added one more anxiety to long list of my...

    I like DIY, which means whatever I do I practically start with zero knowledge. A bit of research and determination is all what you need really. Even if you budget £100 for conversion, you still will end up with much better bike. For example bikes recommended by SW are very decent, but Shimano...

    I find ready made bikes heavily overpriced for what they really are to the point it is just a rip off. Com on... this Tern Vectron looks nice, but £3.2K? Really? You can buy a new electric scooter or used car for that money. On top of that manufactures proudly show motors while other components...

    I use bell each time as a precaution. On contrary. Each time you arrived at home safely is a win.

    Most efficient travel

    Brilliant! That is what I would love to see on Youtube. Poor trapped Mercedes owners trying to call AA and begging to get them out of this predicament. It is fun to travel with kids on passenger seat. "- Daddy, daddy, what does this button do?" "- It is an emergency eject button for passenger...

    Complete Beginner, what should I buy?

    A bit? LOL. You want bike as easily accessible as possible. Small outdoor shed would be ideal. I would really try to arrange something. Maybe talk to landlord?

    I bought a petrol car 11 years ago. Paid £10K for it. By now it lost probably around 80% of it's value. I won't even mention how much I have paid to keep it running over the years. Cars in general are a very poor investment. Short or long term.
