    For Sale Bargains

    :D:D Nope I haven't bought one, just posting it here as a bargain for someone as a cheapo introduction into ebiking. I've got far to many ebikes already, so not planning on any more, my problem is I can't resist a bargain, and find obscure scenarios where each one would be useful, but in...

    Alternative to Lekkie rings

    Well remembered @guerney . I'm on my 2nd one now, the first lasted about 4k miles before I experience chain suck when replacing the chain and cassette ( https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/chain-flapping-noise-after-new-drivetrain-installed-any-ideas.46762/post-706221 ) I've opted to not...

    If a fat bike is your thing, at £419 for a 48v 13ah 62Nm that's a cracking deal. Remove the throttle to go street legal

    I find Ergon GP1 grips help with hand numbness, not cheap but worth it

    Queries: E-Bike Touring in France

    I would consider a 2nd battery, carried in the bottom of the pannier back. I ride euro tours of upto 80 miles per day, and the extra 3kg for a spare battery is not noticed. Removes range anxiety, and a 500wh battery only in the hilly areas of Northern Spain might be border line for 50 miles if...

    Cheaper China e-bikes 'kick in teeth' for UK firms

    Yep same here with my BBS01 bikes. Just accept these things wear out quicker on midrives than hub drives, it's obvious they will, dunno why people bang on about it all the time. As you say, easy job to get discounts and fitting them yourself is a doddle

    Cheaper China e-bikes 'kick in teeth' for UK firms

    I'd say there's never been a better time to score a deal, there are huge discounts available, clearly a glut of stock thats not shifting Take this example below, was £5k now £2k, check the spec and components, the parts alone would nearly make up the cost of the bike, that's before you add in...

    Cheaper China e-bikes 'kick in teeth' for UK firms

    I'm interested in the reality as opposed the speculation/opinions regarding reliability. @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, and the Germans have been buying Bosch mid drive motors in...

    Cheaper China e-bikes 'kick in teeth' for UK firms

    Whenever I bike tour in Belgium, Germany etc in the past few years nearly every other bike I see is an ebike, and about 90% of those seem to have Bosch mid drive motors. There must be millions of them bought over the last decade in those countries. IF these Bosch motors are SO unreliable, is...

    Dropper (Seat) Posts - Best thing ever ?

    Dropper (Seat) Posts have pretty much past me by since their invention, I understood the concept for off MTB riding, slamming the saddle on tricky descents and technical stuff where you have to hang you arse out or get lower on the bike, but having now discovered them (one factory fitted on my...
