Yes, the thieving bastards don’t let anyone alone. If it is an NHS bike shed, they (or better, we all) have to pay for it. Thieves know that NHS bike parkings often have very nice bikes locked up (from GPs, employees with money, not from poor people who work all day or night and often overtime...

Certainly not all Chinese products are bad. iPhones are manufactured in China (Foxconn... like HP and others), and Samsung is from Korea. So if bikes are from China, Taiwan, or wherever, if the frame is constructed according to our physics—my first e-bike was a PowaBike Commuter, which was an...

Good luck! Will be alright - if it has last this far it will last more... A good idea would be always to have a chain tool and some chain bits with you... they don’t weigh much and like always you will not need them when you got them with you! Like an Umbrella... if you got an Umbrella it’s...

That e-bike use increases the wear and tear of a bike is self-explanatory. Tyres on the motor wheel wear out quicker, brake pads on calipers or discs wear out quicker, and drivetrains have a shorter life—all self-explanatory. But at least we live longer (provided a car accident doesn’t shorten...

{Quote start:} “ @Heinzja care to enlighten us on the actual situation if you know it in Germany ? Considering there are many more mid drive ebikes in Europe, [sic]“ {Quote end} Yes, I can enlighten you about Bosch. Bosch is everywhere in Germany—from power tools to freezers, from...

{Quote start:} “Germany has 600,000 bicycle thefts a year and probably many more than that go unreported its a huge problem where as about 80,000 are stolen in the UK per year but again many thefts go unreported. I [sic]“ {Quote end} Don’t know where the above quoted numbers came...

I am German. In Germany, everyone has insurance for their home (property or rental), which includes bikes as well. If your bike is stolen, you get a new one included the Abus D-Lock for £300... Here in England, the bikes are “old school.” Bike companies (even Brompton) take a normal bike, put a...

Strangely the largest ebike manufacturer in the world is NOT Chinese.... https://www.leebike.com/china-top-10-electric-bike-manufacturers/ Batteries most likely, parts as well... electric Motor (at least for Powertools etc is Bosch leading... electronic (Bosch in Cars Mercedes, BMW, VW...

Most bikes (all bike? Beside Brompton) are imported anyway... if the UK Government would implement a safety approval (like TÜV) for anything that is driven on a public Road than it would be ok but that never will happened thanks to Brexit... the stuff which comes via Ali Amazon EBay is...

My first bike in the year 2000th had both features and was/is legal (I still have it: a “PowaByke Commuter” with a 250W motor and a 36V SLA battery, weighing just under 40kg). Anyway, illegal bikes are ridden by idiots because, regardless of what happens, the illegal rider is guilty when...

You can find the "Electric Bikes (England) Regulations 2010" through several official sources. Here are some options: 1. **Legislation.gov.uk:** - This is the official government website for UK legislation. You can access the regulations directly through this link: - [Electric Bikes...

Here they get confiscated.... in China they get abandoned.... It is to cry.... These images of abandoned dockless share bikes in China are astonishing https://metro.co.uk/2018/03/24/images-abandoned-dockless-share-bikes-china-astonishing-7413192/ I remember that ebike with Throttle...

I have visited yesterday both of our Halfords branches, but none of the “Bike Experts” could explain the details about the serial numbers. One “expert” advised me to look on the underside of the bottom bracket/crank for the serial number, which begins with a letter combination like all “Carrera”...

Thank you....

No one has an idea how the Serial Number work? There are only numbers in two rows “middle aligned “ no letters Which is the serial number: the top row (7 numbers), the bottom row (5 numbers), or is the number the total length of both rows (12 numbers)? Please see my picture in the old...

{Quote start:} “Hopefully you asked some pretty searching questions about why there wasn't a charger with it.” [sic] {Quote end} My bike was part of an inheritance, and due to a temporary disability, the model suited me perfectly. I didn’t want to bother too much with questions...

I think I will buy only original... money is one thing , but when I see what can happened: Overnight charging is as well not a good idea.... Anyway.... I will order one original Bosch Charger ... need only to decide which Modell ((Standard, Compact or Fast) Fast is tempting, but...

Thank you... I found out, that in my case 3 different charger exist... Standard, Fast, Compact... the table shows the A output /charging time... I am after the cheapest of the three and found (with your help) £50 is the cheapest at the moment for the Standard... that looks about the bottom...

Thank you very much... make all sense! (Is similar with Dell Laptop Charger which will power only, but not charge Battery when not original) Anyone did find a company which sell Original Charger to an affordable Price? Which would be the cheapest charger Modell? I saw there are Standard, Fast...
