My employer, Hewlett Packard, got £20 from CycleScheme for every purchase. No way were HP willing to let us do our own leg work. They do similar with the healthcare provided through BUPA that you can actually get cheaper if you do it yourself.

That's the one! I reckon Rubee could be on course for a patent infringement there!

I've seen something EXACTLY like that before. Friction drive is not going to advance the ebike world either. Bit rubbish is you want a rack and mudguards as well ;-)

Controller has gone too! That was quick - thanks chaps :-)

It only works on direct drive motors. As the Bosch uses a centre mount freewheeling motor it can't do regen. The Bafang/Cute motors are freewheeling as well so they can't do regen either. Regen only adds a few % to battery range but it can help with braking - the motor provides alot of...

**SOLD** front Q100 motor built into 700c rim and Lyen MkII mini monster controller First up - Front 201 rpm Q100 sensored motor laced into a Mavic A319 700c rim with 14g Halo black spokes in two cross pattern. Nice and straight and true with barely touched brake surfaces (I think I only...

Sort of - I've taken voluntary redundancy to be a stay at home dad. I going to do a little freelance web design but mainly just to keep my mind active ;-)

Damn you! Just as I was about to pull the trigger on one of Cellmans MAC kits!

I'm very sensitive to light - therefore I wear sunglasses nearly all the time. I'm sat at my works computer (for the last time - yay!) wearing sunglesses right now.

Yup - sounding very much like a duff cell in your battery which is tripping the low voltage protection circuit.

Get on Strava and troll the unpowered riders - especially those of us with, "ahem", faster than normal bikes ;-)

Have a guess.

Halford sell Zoom pads - take one of the old ones along to a store and see what they've got on the shelf. Alternative, promax pads fit zoom calipers - do any of these or these look similar?

Yes I agree - makes no sense for mail order companies to participate in most of the schemes. As it happens the bike I bought - a Trek - couldn't be ordered mail order anyway (I think Trek have banned mail order for their bikes).

They aren't supposed to do that - anyone caught doing it gets removed from the list of approved vendors on the cyclescheme website. I bought my bike August 2011 - the "clarified" rules were in effect by the "end value" point. Technically, I still don't own the bike (and wont until the 3 year...

I didn't have to take the bike to the shop at the end of the 12 months - they just gave me an "Extended Use Agreement" deposit figure (£55) that I was happy with and job was a good 'un. At the end of those 3 years "extended use", if I want to keep the bike they keep the deposit. If I don't I...

Well this could be a bargian:- eZee e-bike battery and Li-Ion smart charger 37V 10Ah | eBay And of course, I forgot to mention cyclezee as a UK supplier of some very well regarded batteries - the prices do reflect them being a UK supplier though. http://cyclezee.com/ezee-shop.html

No UK options and you wont find anyone offering ready built packs using lipo bricks - simply to risky from a business perspective. I now you don't want to buy from China but there really isn't an option - what you need to know is who the good Chinese vendors are - so here goes:- You wont go...
