Not as I understand the article: "...Hanlon was driving a vehicle which 'appeared to be a bicycle' but had, it is alleged, been fitted with a highly-powered battery motor ..."
Sounds like an unrestricted conversion kit.
Yup. Spot on: 12 years old was the age at which it was legal to drive a tractor on the farm!
Partied, boozed, womanised... you forgot the dope, acid, mescalin... o_O
The rear suspension on my Focus Jam² cannot be locked out. The adjustment is from a very pictorial tortoise to a very pictorial hare. At first this bugged me greatly, because I've always been used to being able to lock out front and rear suspension. But the suspension works so well when...
Yup. I wanted the Cube, but couldn't get a delivery date before May 2020 (ordering in September 2019). Reasoned that the delivery date would go out even further so went with the Focus, which was supposed to be delivered in December 2019.
Such is life. (However, very happy with the Focus - and...
I think that the ground conditions are probably THE major factor. I get about 40km out of a 500Ah battery in the dune sand - less sometimes. Yesterday's ride was mostly "hard stuff" - rocks, gravel and soft sand underlain by hardpack. There was only about 20m of mud in the whole ride - I got off...

Get someone to mark the floor again when your chalk mark hits the floor (preferably two or three wheel...
I'd happily accept the voucher and the apology. I don't think I have ever bought a new bike which has not had something either loose or badly adjusted. A bit like cars, really: there's always something loose, rattling or just plain missing. (I'm looking at you, Alfa Romeo!)
I also think that this is yet another thread that has been effectively killed. :rolleyes:
Carry on like this and we'll be getting our bottoms smacked by the management... :eek:
I've just spent the evening researching ways to replace a mate's broken switches, so I used this website for my chair... :sneaky:
[Edit: wrong reference inserted! Duh! Chair is too comfy and went to sleep]
Like much in life: it depends...
I do a night ride once a week with a local club. Most of the riders are not on e-bikes. I do pretty much everything in eco and share their pain on all the hills.
I ride out at least once a week with my missus. She rarely gets above 10kph. (She's the only person...
