Hub gears? Nexus aren't bad, I got that for my disabled husband's trike, as he hadn't ridden a bike for fifty years and wouldn't know what a derailleur was if it bit him on the bum. So I set my trike up the same as his, except mine gets the motor. We ride as a tandem and when he gets tired I do...

I have bikes with all sorts of brakes, including one which I can only reliably stop by falling off. It's actually the lightest one I own. My usual bike has amazing brakes, there was even an option ( which I was too mean to pay for) for ABS. So it isn't just weight, type of brake and tyre come...

I use old inner tubes to protect paintwork under anything I need to attach, just cut and wrap using double sided sticky tape to keep it in place, so nothing actually gets stuck to the paint.

The problem there is that all of our money goes on the hobbies, so none left over for children.

I weep salt tears for you. You must be such an important person with the value of your time so high. I am in awe of your perspicacity, and your need to spend another four minutes in bed is of course understandable, who are we, mere mortals, to stand in your way. Perhaps a helicopter ride would...

Floatplanes, along other flying devices

That's all a bit of a pain to do when you are only transporting it so you can go for a ride, though. I think it's easier than the back wheel, which needs an extra hand for the derailleur.

Garage Brugier Saint Savin. 200€ supply and fit, 18€ for a number plate for the trailer. For a Renault Kangoo. Even at 400 it makes life a lot easier.

I've always had a tow bar on every vehicle I've owned (including the bikes) most useful accessory possible. Means I can throw two trikes on board, (in a trailer) which my disabled husband and I use in tandem. Actually, I spend a lot of time towing him so maybe that wasn't such a great idea. The...

Well, that's not very friendly. You get a gracious apology and then you grouch back instead of just accepting it in the spirit it was given. However, to address your original point, maybe it would be easier to put your bike on a rack instead of inside the car, so the wheel can stay on? Then you...

The saddle. Always. I don't know why the manufacturer bothers putting one on, I've got a heap of them in the back of the barn. Maybe it's because the one I take off and swear at is made for a man, and a deformed one at that. Even if the bike was intended for a woman. Then I go out and buy some...

CO2 in the bike daypack. Not a nasty plastic one. Battery electric in the garage or when I'm on a multi day trip with the camping gear.

I don't think so. Designed Hong Kong built in Vietnam but seems to be an independent company. Motinova 75nm 36v 250watt. The actual trike is pretty capable, very reclined and with rear suspension that helps on the tracks. I'm running big Apple tyres which seem to be a decent compromise. The...

I'm playing with a new toy, tadpole trike with a Motinova assist. Wondered if anyone else had this motor and what maintenance it might need. I've done about 800k so far. The display is a bit minimalist, and I don't think I can connect anything to it, no Bluetooth or wired connection. Otherwise...

Yoga

That's take it to where you bought it time then. Could try contact cleaner on the battery terminals first, but don't hold your breath.

That's interesting. So what bike and saddle are you using it on? I've always thought soft padding isn't what is useful, what helps is the right shape of saddle for my anatomy.

Just dropped my Trigo Steps at the not very local Bike Shop. First motor died with E010 permanent error at 990km, second one has gone tits up with the same error at 49km and is on its way back to Germany. My Bosch Flyer has passed 5000km after working a good deal harder. Problem is that a two...

Well, only in as much as not realising you could pack so much misinformation into so short a time.
