Chains and Spokes and Frames are passing by... They mean a trip to Barry's, then home In time for tea, and perhaps a scone... The Chains and the Spokes and Frames... Ahh Dionne, Sadly Mis-Quoted

An absolute pleasure Tom. Great to see you put those bikes to such good use. Good luck to Joyce on her latest sponsored ride. How can we contribute to her endeavours? You really should publicise what she is doing on these forums... The scooter is most often used for commuting, but we have...

Help me out Tony...

Mr and Mrs Thatbee had a son called Howard...

You also need to consider the rate of charge. Larger amp hour batteries often are designed to cope with faster rate chargers (so you're not waiting forever for the charge to complete). Typically 1.8 amps for 10AH battery versus 3 amp rate for 16AH, allowing both batteries to complete their...

Well, both are expensive to change, compared to dérailleurs so no difference there... :)

22 miles each way is a big commute! But not unheard-of. One thing to be cautious about are the claims made by manufacturers about their battery range. There is a great tendency, unfortunately, to quote from the upper range - the top 5% of the most fit riders! So be realistic in your...

The IATA show a useful document. See page 11 for Mobility aid exclusions. It's clear the battery must have passed stringent tests and so carriage isn't guaranteed without lots of paperwork. IMO there is little point in even trying to find loopholes. Why compromise the safety of a whole plane...

I had a customer recently who does travel with her bike regularly, by plane. She needs it as a "mobility aid" and so the airline accepts it. I can't confirm if anyone is breaking the law, but can confirm her need for mobility. However, the bike was in for repair (not a Juicy Bike I hasten to...

Straight swap Tom, supplied with a new locking strip (which will need a hole drilling - easy really).
