190km or 118 miles. Get real, maybe if you put the bike on the train. Why can't you and other manufactures print real world figures. I'll buy one of your bikes tomorrow if you can guarantee, I'll get that mileage out of each charge. Why lie?

... unless it is just me. It might be, just looked at the site myself. Seems fine to me. I actually test rode one of their NEO's when I were looking. Did not feel right for me and I ended up with a KTM. Reading some reports of problems and the lack of support on this forum, I'm more than...

There are those who will bo looking to commute for the minimum of pennies , this forum being a great place to get the best cost saving advice possible. In your instance, you clearly love messing (for want of a better word) with ebikes and associated technology. If your knowledge is a result...

Eddie Bog city up there at the moment. Would be great to ride with a fellow ebiker. Lets touch base when things warm up a bit. Cheers Ian

Pence per mile for the same bike can be vastly different for individuals depending upon mileage. Its my belief that most don't even consider the cost. They buy the bike and ride as little or often as they need or like. Each to their own. More of a lifesyle choice. I don't look at how much TV...

Eddie I understand where you and many others are coming from. I don't know the reasons for the hiked prices in the UK but I suspect something to do with our greedy government amongst other things. Nothing personal at all, just a shame that whilst our high streets are dying, the German...

I agree having recently purchased my Haibike from Martin. A replacement for my stolen KTM. I could not be happier with both the service and the bike .One happy customer. More expensive than a German import, yes. Whilst, born in Germany I prefer to support UK retailers. No support, no...

I agree, anyone who spends £3000 on a bike will be doing a lot more that 20 miles per week. Anyone who has spent £3000 and is only doing 20 miles per week has got too much money and is not going to care about running costs.

Thanks, I am awating on a meeting with the security manager, I'll see what the outcome of this is first. At the end of the day, I have replaced the bike added additional security and am awaiting on the insurance company to (hopefully) pay out. Frustration is the word.

Flecc, I believe that the UK has more CCTV cameras than almost any other country. Seeing that we appear to have to accept these cameras, it makes it all the more irritating that I cannot view the footage. The police have footage of a man cycling my bike away. My bike and the guys face. I am...

I might just do that.

I agree, ridiculous. The camera in on the street within a gated community, operated by an onsite security team. I have asked them for a copy, the same reply. Data protection. Livid is not the word. The only time there is evidence and I am not allowed to see it. I put it to the police that it...

Well, the police have just closed my case. Got it in writing. Same letter as the last 4 time I were robbed. Closed due to lack of evidence. They did not visit the crime scene so even if there was physical evidence they would not find it. On the brighter side there is apparently CCTV footage...

Public places, I understand. Alarms are a waste of space. I saw one Youtube video, a guy with safety goggles and a cordless disk cutter. Central London, loads of people, not one person questions his actions. People really do not want to get involved. Cameras, as you say can be an effective...

I guess all things are possible, size and weight are the usual constraints Decent locks weight a ton, I have one or two permanenty locked at regular haunts.

Dave, in my theft an alarm would have woken me during the theft and I'd still have my bike. I thought my Newyork Fahgettaboutit could not be cropped but it went along with the bike as did my cable lock. I now have amongst other things a 19mm case hardened chain, hopefully this cannot be cut so...

Seems to be some misunderstanding. I was not suggesting that anyone abandon their regular security, "D" lock and or chain. But the addition to the above of a disk lock in the event that the above are overcome. Should this happen as in may case, the thief could not ride away into the sunset...

Yes, goes without saying that the bike needs locking to an immovable object. As always, a bike can be carried but more often that not they are ridden off. How far would a thief carry a bike, my guess is round the corner before riding off.

I did think of that myself but decided that the additional faff and time may be some deterrent. There are some disk locks with integral alarms, I think I may go for one of these. Handy if I am on a cafe stop. Alarms on first cycle movement. An alternative I had though of would be one of the...

A good many stolen bikes are ridden away, including mine. It occurs to me that a small disk lock would prevent this. Any attempt to remove by force would severely damage the disk and make riding difficult. I am going to buy some, generally small and low in weight. Does anyone have any thoughts...
