    I know this is not strictly an ebike thread but..

    The fact that they state in the blurb that it IS legal to use on pavements and public parks, surely this is wrong? They must be in breach of adverising standards or something.... really annoys me...

    I know this is not strictly an ebike thread but..

    Thank you flecc, as I thought, but you put it in a nutshell. Seems like they are using the fact that as it is not 'classified' yet, then it is ok. Really maskes me annoyed that they can flout regulations and not be truthful to unsuspecting buyers.

    Maplins are selling the Airwheel http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/airwheel-s3-a20tj which seems to be a copy of the Segway. This one is 1000w and they state in their blurb that although it can't be ridden on the road that it is legal to use on a pavement or in a park. I have emailed them with the...

    Car failed, ebike didn't

    With the nuvinci it is so intuitive to ride, just a tweek and you hit the sweet spot and you feel the power. It feels solid and very positive. Only downside is that at 29kg if the battery dies, which it has once because I forgot to charge it, it is hard to pedal. Won't make that mistake again :)...

    Car failed, ebike didn't

    Car failed to start. Electronics saying a myriad of faults. Joule Prism stepped in and saved the day. First commute of the year! My legs had lost some of their "tone" :) but it was great to whizz along against the wind. Envigorating! :) Got a friend to have a look at my car and he said it...

    Mobius 1080p camera and Medion Flexible tripod

    photos of helmet mount and car mount using the flexible tripod. Very versatile!

    Mobius 1080p camera and Medion Flexible tripod

    I have tried various cameras in various places whilst riding and what I have found the best for "dampening" any vibration .... and that is .... your own body :) A helmet cam securely fitted gives superb stability because your your body and neck absorbs most of the bumps and vibrations and...
