Or they know and nick that too when they mug you for your bike...

This may already have been done, but why couldn’t the motor manufacturers make some sort of ‘dongle’ or something you keep on your key chain for example, that needs to be within say 5m of the motor for it to work? And if the dongle is out of range, the motor locks and renders the bike useless...

Ebikes qualify now and the limit has been raised to £10k, although not all employers have raised the spending limit from £1k. But definitely worth checking out.

If getting the battery out easily and quickly is a priority then the Whyte won’t be as easy as a Trek. I live in a flat so have to keep the bikes in the spare room so don’t really need to remove the battery’s to charge them. Also, if you are on PAYE then the cycle to work scheme is a great way...

Oh and I recommend going to the local shops and speaking to the staff, if they are helpful then they should be a decent shop. So much easier when you have to get it repaired, serviced etc. It’s a lot easier when something goes wrong.

I don’t think you’ll get a discount at the present time unless you already have a decent relationship with a LBS, because bike sales have gone through the roof with Covid. Stock is also very low. There simply is no need for them to offer discounts when they sell faster than they can be built. I...

I’ve got this one which is slightly cheaper and is rock solid. https://www.parktool.com/product/home-mechanic-repair-stand-pcs-9-2

If a motor breaks down in the warranty period, it’s should be replaced under warranty, that should provide some piece of mind no?

Topeak D2 Digital pressure gauge and Mudhuggers front and back.

You will not be disappointed!

Bought this on your advice, it arrived today and is far more accurate than the gauge on my pump. Thanks again.

Forgot to say the shop fitted a new tube in 5 mins today, excellent service.

Thanks Steve, good advice! Will have a look, cheers!

Thanks @Gary I have checked the WTB website and my weight means the tyres should be 40/42psi. WTB recommends 25/30psi for the average rider who weighs 160/180lbs. I weight 220lbs ? So it recommends an extra 2/3psi for every 10lbs over the average weight. I think I have spotted the problem...

I just managed to pop my back tyre (WTB Verdict 2.5) on my Whyte E150S. I was about to go over a kerb on to the pavement, lifted the front wheel up and the back tyre popped as soon as it hit the kerb and tyre slowly deflated. Took me a few seconds to work out what had happened. I reckon I was...

Welcome, yeah the time from ordering to delivery takes an age, especially now with Covid and everyone and their nan looking for a bike haha. the Thok0 looks impressive, enjoy it!

What utter scumbags.

Those rules are class ??

I’ve got the Whyte E150S and can recommend it. I’ve only had the bike 24 hours so haven’t had any issues yet. The Bosch display is fine, it’s not the smallest, but it isn’t that big and I don’t find it gets in the way at all. If you are in the UK I think you may struggle to find a trek emtb in...

www.Trailforks.com is quite good, but don’t search specifically for emtb trails as there isn’t many. But plenty of mtb trails you can use.
