    Ebikes in China

    Horns are used quite differently in China to the UK. Used to warn rather than accuse, rather like the friendly bike bell.

    batteries

    Jerry, to be frank, we wouldn't. Each battery is uniquely numbered, as are motors and frames, so those can be tracked. But what each customer then does with their goods is up to them, hopefully using the batteries (etc) appropriately and for the purpose intended. Taking a battery designed...

    Hi from Hampshire

    Andy, you're approaching your best years, especially with a 5 year old around! Your ambition to dump a car is often quoted as a reason for purchase of an e-bike, and is an excellent and realistic prospect. You could take a trip to the Bike Centre in Romsey to try a range of bikes (including ours).

    batteries

    You could try moving the locking strip from the FreeGo to The Juicy. Then the taller battery would lock into the Juicy. However, the taller battery, when placed into the shorter strip (Now the FreeGo) would not engage the lock. You will need to make a new fixing hole to fix the strip to the...

    uprating battery

    Hi grldtnr Power is often confused with range. Power is normally measured at the motor, described in Watts. Range is measured within the battery described as AH. A more powerful motor wouldn't achieve any better unless the battery is designed to deliver the extra consumption, measured in...

    Welcome to the forum Ian. You'd be most welcome to come over to New Mills and have a good ride on any of our bikes. We're not far from you.

    BEBA UK Survey Results: Executive Summary

    Not over yet... All is not lost, by any means. The DofT will make their recommendation and then Parliament decides... So, assuming none of us have blown up Westminster in the meantime you can go all "democratic" and lobby your MP with your opinion. Personally I will lobby mine by simply...

    Ex-hire or Juicy or ?

    Hi DM You would be very welcome to come and try from our shop, Eco Republic in Buxton, or from our New Mills workshop where there is a wider variety of bikes to try, including some ex-demo discounted. Both shops have decent hills nearby. Main difference between the bikes (apart from price) is...

    Anyone need a Juicy Sport battery?

    I hope it's clear this battery is an old style, black, with kettle plug connector, now superseded by the silver-fish style metal case, shown at our website. So Tom, it would not be compatible with your bike.

    Come for a ride.............

    I managed to give up for eighteen months, but missed going out to look at the stars late at night and have a "back door moment". I remedied that by taking a biscuit to the back door and having a ponderous moment eating that. Eventually that had to cease when Sarah started complaining about the...

    increased bike sales......?????

    Our oldest rider to date: 96 years, purchased 2 years ago. Last week he called to arrange a service! More recently I've noticed our riders are getting younger, often the rationale is to replace a car that they cannot afford to repair, many now in their twenties. The trend is increasingly...

    Hydraulic disks on ebikes

    Rim brakes are good, but wear out the rims of the wheel.... which is a bigger factor when the wheel is laced into a motor! If a rider neglects the timely replacement of a rim brake and allows the pad to show its metal to the rim then the rim-wear is rapid and damage suddenly very likely.

    Hydraulic disks on ebikes

    Hi Jon Yes, we now use a cartridge on the bottom bracket, preferred by LBSs but more expensive. The weight of the bike is 19.4 Kgs without the battery and the 10AH battery that we use is a tad over 3Kgs. The website will eventually show all the detailed changes... so much to say, so...
