It's not just finger pointing its fact and very simple economics. If you keep transferring huge amounts of your money outside the country then obviously you are moving your sterling to other countries, We either end up borrowing that sterling back to prop up our country's economy or that...

I understand that but sometimes even steel fat bikes aren't that strong. Steel makes the fat bikes even heavier so there is more pressure if anything to try to reduce weight to a more reasonable level. I've seen steel fat bikes with quite thin tubes and long extended stays aren't that strong...

That's expensive and I question the use of a 6061 frame for a very heavy rider. There is no obvious reinforcement on that frame and aluminium frames always fatigue with use and can fail abruptly. The stays don't look particularly strong although accept they could be using thicker tubes there but...

Fat bikes aren't always strong though, the Calibre Dune had issues with the frame breaking with even quite light riders because they tried to make the bike more lightweight and weakened it. There was a big recall on those and similar models in the US I believe. The other issue is if you break...

I think the issue is a lot of these cameras are fake 4K. I think the sensor on this model is 8 megapixels but to do true 4k you need 12 megapixels typically. So if they state which sensor it is clearly it tells people its fake 4k. Sony actually make a huge amount of sensors for action cameras...

I can't see a speed limit for bicycles happening, as a country we are getting more and more in debt, there is probably about £3k being paid in debt interest for every working person which means more and more services will be cut back. We will start to see further cuts to the NHS, Police etc and...

Mountain bikes especially US brands can be rated to 136kg or 300lb riders but that is a bike designed for off-road. It has extra strength for taking the impacts off-road up to a 136kg rider but of course if you don't go off-road and use it for normal roads that extra strength could be for a...

If I was 200kg I would probably start with a basic high tensile steel mountain bike with rigid forks and then start upgrading components to get the best strength and reliability. I'd probably start with something like this...

Saw this on Amazon and thought a great price for what you are getting. However I can't vouch for quality or ease of wiring into your ebike. There is some wiring info on the page but suspect you may have to search to get better information or do some basic multimeter tests. So you have three...

I know Haibikes were assembled from frames supplied by fuji-ta at in the past. Fuji-ta being the world's biggest bike manufacturer. Then the cells in Bosch batteries come from China or the Far East typically as do many circuits and components. Bafang claims they are a OEM supplier to companies...

I don't think its related to the wattage its always about the torque the motor can generate. You get mid-drive motors that range from about 40Nm output which are typically used with hub gears to other motors that are close to 100Nm and typically used for e-mountain bikes and would not be ideal...

You would probably get away with 11-34T if you wanted that. You need to find the spec of the X4 derailleur for its year, what length of cage it has (there may be multiple models with different cage lengths) and find out its rear capacity. You only really need to do this if you are attempting a...

Here is a camera that is a decent option at £25. It has a Sony 8MP sensor, Novatek chipset with gyroscopic stabilization. The design is quite old and stabilization is basic but the camera provides very good results for its price point compared to many action cameras at similar prices. The 4k...

If its a 9 speed cassette I would go for a 9 speed shifter as the cheapest solution unless of course the 9 speed cassette is heavily worn and you might as well just get a 8 speed cassette anyway. Aliexpress does reasonably priced shifters. I've had a quick look so not recommending this as you...

Surely thicker tyres generally are more comfortable especially if inflated correctly for your weight to maximise the suspension effect. I find that if you have a 27.5" frame but fit 26" wheels with something like fat frank tyres the comfort is massively improved or you have a 29" frame but fit...

I think it should be pointed out if you use a payment processing company like paypal even if you paid by credit card then even if you spend over £100 you don't have credit card protection you are reliant on whatever paypal can do for you. Also if you wanted to take paypal to the small claims...

The Wisper bike and hikobike ebikes look broadly similar if you go the mid-drive route. Despite the Wisper site claiming it has a freewheel I'm pretty sure its a cassette fitted with a freehub rear wheel and not an entry level freewheel drivetrain. The Hikobike has a XCT fork and the Wisper XCM...

The radrunners are based on a simpler likely more robust hub motor design which also will reduce the wear rate on the drivetrain as the motor works independently of the drivetrain however it won't get you up hills as well as a mid-drive motor in contrast the bike with the mid-drive motor has...

My battery is fine so far... Like anything there is a failure rate, maybe mine will last years or perhaps fail early too. I've seen forum posts where people have bought high end batteries or expensive ebikes that had batteries that failed. I'm sure there is a greater risk with cheaper battery...

I've got a Liitokala battery although bought from a different store, Liitokala Direct or something. I knew when I bought it that if there were problems down the line I'd probably have to resort to a credit card claim. My battery is also 21700 based, 48V 15Ah and I paid I think about £92 for it...
