    20mph speed government petition is live!

    "15mph is too slow" brings us back to (I think) Weeksy's point. If it's too slow why? Because you feel like you deserve to go faster because the technology allows? Well we already decided that things that go faster need type approval, mot tax and insurance so that option is already open to you...

    20mph speed government petition is live!

    So everything is leveled down every time over and over. Well yes and no. The current standard means anyone 14 yrs or older can pop into any bike shop and ride off in their shorts and flip flops on a bike that'll propel them at a reasonable speed. If you want to go as fast as someone 16 or over...

    Mission Control Very old red mission control app 2.4.3 I think from over 3 years ago

    Have you tried downloading the old app and logging back in? Or logging onto the specialized website and logging in? If you can log back in, makes the changes, etc. You might have more luck. I just bought a used Levo and it just wouldn't let me pair my bike with the "red app" but did it first...

    how to promote Insta accounts

    Reels seem to get a lot more push from Instagram as they try and keep up with Tiktok. Make sure you use plenty of popular hashtags to get found by people who set alerts. You can also be cheeky, bake some bread with a superbowl theme and ride that wave of traffic. Encourage people to comment and...

    20mph speed government petition is live!

    Same here, happy with the current situation where I can hop on my bike without any mandated PPE, insurance, or MOT and off I trot. If the legislation gets looked at they might decide to slip some more caveats in while they're at it.

    Buying an EMTB for the wife

    If I could persuade my wife to get an eBike I'd get one as close as I could to mine so I could share parts, in particular the battery for longer solo riding, etc.

    Discounted Bike and parts Thread - cheap(er) ebikes & stuff

    Their own recent full-sus deals are probably their biggest rivals! 🤣

    Discounted Bike and parts Thread - cheap(er) ebikes & stuff

    Prices are all over the place. It's a full time job keeping your eyes peeled for bargains in their administration fire sale. They released a new eHardtail today which is interesting timing...

    Orange bikes

    No probs, hope I didn't come across as too much of a pedant! 🤣 Totally agree though, the number of firms who must have done very well over the lockdowns and then proceeded to totally balls it up baffles me. In defence of Orange they aren't a global megacorp so probably less able to dictate...

    Orange bikes

    State of the market rather than malice, look at how every other brand is struggling. *Also, they've called in administrators, people owed send in receivers. 😉

    Suggestions for cycle clothes shopping in London

    I can't vouch for the shop but the gear is very good.

    Apple Air Tag . . . How do I locate a swiped bike?

    "But sorry I don't expect your average thief to have specialty bike tools to remove the bicycle cranks so they can access the motor mounting bolts." A bike thief won't have a handful of hex and torx keys?!

    Apple Air Tag . . . How do I locate a swiped bike?

    I don't disagree they aren't perfect but I do think they are better than nothing considering the relatively low cost and ease of use. My ebike was bought used and I didn't spot the airbag on it when I checked it over before purchase. I'm a Samsung user and will fit a Samsung tag as well. One...

    Brand new Michelin e-wild leaking sealant from sidewalls

    To flip that one on its head. I need a machine to fit my van tyres and they're too heavy and won't fold up so I can't easily carry a spare!

    Brand new Michelin e-wild leaking sealant from sidewalls

    WTBs can sometimes do this too. I had a pair of Nanos and the front was fine but the rear wept for a good while before eventually sealing up.

    E-mtb for a flatlander

    Thetford, Tunstall and the bridleways between Southwold and Woodbridge mainly. I've just got a Levo with a 32x11 top gear but haven't tried it yet!

    E-mtb for a flatlander

    Power isn't a problem for my mate on his Levo SL here in Suffolk but the 30x11 top gear is! I think it'll take a 34...

    Yikes, this is not going to end well for bikers . . .

    Compared to other behemoths they have to share the road with in the states? Probably negligible additional risk! 🤣

    New bike day ibis oso inbound i believe what are peoples thoughts

    Bit late to learn about the bad points! 🤣 I haven't ridden one but I think it looks cool and that's a good point! 👌

    Would like peoples opinions on the damage to my new bike.

    So they were fully aware and only knocked off £100! As someone else has said when you come to sell it you'll have to give it away. Also as someone has said where else will sell it to you for similar or less. You aren't going to get service if you need to take it back anyway! 🤣
