    independent e bike technician

    Well, I guess I must be a bit of a hopeless case not being competent enough to repair a motor that I haven't a clue about, which needs special tools I don't have, and bearings that many posts on this forum indicate are quite difficult to source. However, rather than feel guilty about spending...

    Lexham Cycle Recovery Insurance - Don't get Caught Out

    For the sake of a mere £15 a year I have taken out this brilliant value cover for some time now. On phoning to renew today, I managed to grasp, in the high speed exclusions they have to read out to you over the phone, something about a SPECIFIC bike. Turns out that after the reader queried...

    independent e bike technician

    Going back to the OP. I've trawled through 4 pages of posts on this topic and amongst all the generalisations and suppositions I have found nothing to give me any confidence with my own concern. I live in Truro, Cornwall, and I have two Bosch drive bikes: First is a Cube ... out of warranty...

    Bosch ebike motor reliability

    Will he sell parts to us mere mortals now ... or only to his own customers who purchased their bike from him? His web site indicates he won't sell anything to anyone else.

    New Bosch drive Halfords Carrera bikes

    OK ... It's only available in 18" frame... but compare the spec for the same money. No comparison http://www.hargrovescycles.co.uk/bikes/electric-bikes/cube-reaction-hybrid-hpa-race-500-green-2017-electric-bike.html

    Ezee conversion based on large 58cm frame (I’m 6ft and it’s fine) 2006 Specialized Globe Pro hybrid bike. Bike was just shy of £1000 in 2006 a few years before the eZee conversion. Has 27 speed XT drive train which is still sweet. Replaced original rigid carbon fork with air shock with remote...

    What is the state of the recumbent e-bike market?

    Just as an aside, one of my 14ah rack batteries is getting very tired now. I know Jimmy at Insat can re-cell them, but can I still get a replacement 'of the shelf' if I want one sometime? Thinking of the freight restrictions with batteries now. Regards Tony

    non pneumatic tyres - good investment?

    Totally agree Seems to me that folk who can 'simply remove one side of the tyre' are living in a different world to me. To get a wideish nobbly tyre of my narrow lightweight sunringle rims on my cube is a twenty minute sweaty wrestling match ... That in a controlled situation in a garage with...

    What D lock would you recommend?

    Kryptonite evolution LONG shackle. Best £32 I've spent ... so far ... for relative peace of mind. Bracket works brilliantly for me on the seat tube facing backwards. Legs clear it ok when pedalling. So quick to attach and detach. Secure gold rated and the LONG shackle version lets you lock up to...
