I have one of these and transport 2 x Rockrider EST-520's with ease. I take the batteries out and put one each way on the rack. The clamps go through the centre and grip on the rear uprights. No issues at all. I also lock them to the carrier with a Sold Secure lock for security when we are...

Yes, the water bottle holders are cable tied to the batteries. It's the obvious place to have it and, when.I take the batteries out, it makes a nice handle. I've replaced my QR spindle with a locking one. Too easy for someone to nick them otherwise. The tyres seem fine in the wet and mud. I...

Back to the bikes (just for a moment). We had a nice 18 mile outing today up some very muddy tracks. Bike behaved perfectly except that Norma's bike somehow unscrewed the connection from the display to the bike - and suddenly she was on pedal power alone. I screwed it back together and we were...

My wife has the small and I have the medium. About 1" of difference in height and length. Did you see the download for the manual I created for the display? cheers Alan

I did notice that Decathlon have them in stock now, but the price has gone up by another £200. Alan

To be honest, we haven't used it for months since the second lockdown. Alan

AH, I haven't been on for a while. Cheers. Alan

I think one for all Decathlon models would be well received.

I had it early November. Not serious (no hospitals) - I just felt low for about a week. But the recovery is slow. Today, I managed a 3.5mile walk - not been on the bike since I got it. It's the lungs and getting oxygen to the muscles. Takes time. So, be prepared for a slow phased return to...

There is bikeregister.com which is a national database where you can report stolen bikes. Alan

Standard PMR radios are useless for range. 0.5w is fine for about 500 yards with nothing in the way - and by nothing I mean car bodies, small hills, a building - anything. For motorcycling I did get some 'modified' ones which had 5w of transmission and they were (still are) great. I would think...

I would do it after every ride.

I just checked and Decathlon have some stock of the EST-900's in Mens and Womens. Of course, by the time I finish writing this, they may have gone. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/27-5-electric-mountain-bike-e-st-900/_/R-p-168875?mc=8487240&c=GREY...

I'm not sure it's for off road, but I love the concept https://www.autoevolution.com/news/reevo-hubless-bike-is-what-futuristic-e-bike-dreams-are-made-of-149422.html?utm_source=ae_self&utm_medium=ae_moreon&utm_campaign=ae_moreon_news_static#

I got a £40 one from Halfords. Works fine for me as long as you endure the bike is held at the balance point. This one Bikehut Repair Stand | Halfords UK Alan

Yes, but unfortunately, we have to leave it on occasionally (service station stops for example). Alan

My fear is not the clamp end (which works fine on my bikes and can lock) but the other end, which seems to be just plastic and would, in my mind, be very susceptible to being broken by some lowlife scum. So, I always put my Sold Secure Gold locks around the bike and the metal post at the back...

OK - I'm used to my motorcycle batteries which are kept on optimates all year round. I'll take your advice on this. Alan

I keep mine on charge all the time. I think that helps.

Very nice. I'm sure it was a lot steeper than it looked from the camera.
