    Bike Rack for Car.

    That looks similar to my one which is a Thule VeloCompact 925. Expensive at about £300 but so much better than the cheap one I had previously. It's much quicker & easier to get the bikes on & off plus they are secured far more securely.

    Northern Ireland EAPC status.

    Likewise Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill the deputy first minister will want to align herself with the Republic of Ireland & the rest of the EU as closely as possible.

    Northern Ireland EAPC status.

    This is going to be a simple decision as it is in the interests of both Unionists & Nationalists to show harmonisation with both the UK & the Republic WRT e-bikes. Paying nurses properly is probably their top priority but that doesn't require legislation just ministerial sign-off.

    Battery for rear carrier

    Putting your camera gear in panniers will usefully lower the centre of gravity.

    Government ushers in new era of green commutes with e-bike Cycle to Work scheme

    We bought my partner's Woosh Petite second hand from a lady who because of an accident (non-cycling) could not longer use it. We met up in a car park & they opened a door at the back of their motorhome & out came the bike. I can't recall the model of motorhome but obviously some of them are...

    If I gave these tyres do o need slime?

    There are bicycle tyres that use Kevlar (as used in bullet-proof vests) but the Schwalbe Marathon Plus doesn't but uses a special layer of rubber https://www.schwalbe.com/en/unplattbar

    Washing ebike? - Without outside tap?

    I feel the same about cars. They might get put through an automatic car wash once a year but that's about it. Rain gets most of the muck off just like the house windows. My partner insists on a window cleaner but he had an accident a few months back (motorbike not falling off a ladder) so the...

    Why worry? Isn't this what insurance is for?

    Helmet - ebike?

    My partner & I each have a Sena R1 & these have transformed our leisure rides as we can chat away to one another as we cycle along. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FM22N9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Heads-up! 2019 Ebco centre-drive e-bikes £1099 (£500 off).

    Instead of the Livall Bluetooth helmet my partner & I have each got a Sena R1 which has a fantastic communication system that allows us to chat to one another while out on our rides. The sound is very clear with obviously some clever noise cancelling going on. I tend to cycle more quickly than...

    How to get the best from your battery

    Thank you. Glad to have it confirmed that you don't need worry about taking the battery off charge once charging is complete as the charger & battery between them prevent any adverse outcome just as leaving my laptop connected to the charger makes no difference to battery life.

    How to get the best from your battery

    Are you saying it's the battery that has the smarts to prevent damage by overcharging not the charger?

    How to get the best from your battery

    So the idea as expressed earlier in the thread that you need to switch off the charger as soon as the battery is fully charged is incorrect?

    How to get the best from your battery

    Aren't e-bike chargers smart so they detect when fully charged & stop charging like laptop power supplies?

    I'm delighted to have your confirmation that I won't get fined for riding on the pavement. However if I do can I send you the bill?

    That just says that it is illegal to cycle on the pavement but if you are lucky then you might get away with it.

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    I too am a very happy customer of Woosh and recommend them highly. I have never been a customer of 50 Cycles & never will be given the attitude exhibited in posts on this thread.
