    E-bike chain Vs normal bike chain

    How many miles would you expect to get out of mid priced chain? I've just hit 1200 on my chain and it still looks like it is in good shape.

    E-bike chain Vs normal bike chain

    So I've been buying a bunch of spares for my Ebike and I've come to the chain. A replacement E-bike change costs around about £20 but a stand chain costs £8. I've got a lot of conflicted reports from the internet saying there is no point getting a E-bike drive chain over a standard bicycle...

    Inter-tube confusion

    I would rather just get myself some removable core tubes as my set up has lasted me so well. The slime really done it's job today as I had to pull out 2 pins from my rear tyre and it still didn't go down! Lost some air but it got me home :D

    Inter-tube confusion

    They do a 700 x 40c? I thought they only went up to a 700 x 38? Wheel sizes do confuse me as I'm not sure if I could replace my 40c tyres with 38s?

    Inter-tube confusion

    Hi all, Hoping someone can help me out. My tyre size on my Crossfuse is 700 x 40c but I cannot seem to find any inter-tubes with a removable presta core. Anyone know where I can find such a tube as all the ones on Amazon seem to be too small. I want a removable core so I can add slime to my...

    The joys of throttled ebikes/scooters in Spain! Come on England get with the times!

    Amen to this!! I'd love a bike that could do all 3! Give us a 500w motor with 1500w battery and we would be good to go!

    The joys of throttled ebikes/scooters in Spain! Come on England get with the times!

    So while in Costa del Sol, Spain I decided to rent myself E-scooter to see the sights and my god I'm glad I did. You're legally allowed to use them on all bike paths and and everyone seems to ride them very respectable. They are limited to 15.5mph which is more then enough! Even the Cafes here...

    Speedbox / Dongles damage motors?

    I've been toying with the idea of getting a speedbox for my Active line motor but it seems like there are mixed reviews out of adding one. I'd love to have an extra 10mph but not at the risk of damaging my motor! Seems like quite a few of you are running them in here, had many problems? Should...

On long day rides I've been known to ride to coffee shop drop one or two bars then top up at the coffee shop. normally only get one bar back while having my coffee because my charger is...

    1600 free miles :)

    So I hit my 1800th mile today on my bike (not too shabby for 5 months of riding) and I got home after a nice 20 mile ride to plug my bike in. This is maybe the 4th time I've charged my bike at home in the time I've owned the bike. The rest I've done at work and out and about hehe! I have no...

    Change of PSI changed my biking life!

    Mine cost me £15 from Amazon and works AMAZING. I didn't know hand pumps are rubbish.

    Change of PSI changed my biking life!

    So I been running my 700c tubes at around 35 psi for the last 6 months and keeping my tyres up by using a hand pump getting them up till around 30/35psi. So I bought myself a full size pump and easily got my tubes up to 55 psi and my god it is like riding a completely different bike! So much...

    Bosch motor system life expectancy

    First off, I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who is replying. You are being very helpful! I'm very new to ebiking and just learning what to expect in the future as my ebike is my main form of transport now. I no longer have a motorcycle which was 100% reliable and in the 4 years...

    Bosch motor system life expectancy

    I was thinking more along the lines of the motor itself to be honest! I am charging the battery once sometimes twice a week at the moment. I mainly use Eco and tour mode and I get around 50 miles per charge depending how lazy i am lol

    Bosch motor system life expectancy
