    Riding with prescription glasses?

    I tried an insert set of riding glasses, but just didn’t work for me. Next option is to try the OTG safety glasses, but if they don’t work I’ll go back to full OTG mx goggles which I used to use when riding off road. I can wear my normal multi focal glasses underneath and don’t need to spend...

    Basic in van charging set up

    You need a second battery, and an inverter, but after that it’s easy for day rides. For longer trips you need some way to put power back into the battery. Either solar or run the motor. Pretty musch the same as a caravan, or motor home. We run our two e-bikes like this no problem.

    Goggles or glasses

    I need prescription lenses all the time (Multifocals).When I was riding dirt bikes I used Smith OTG goggles. I’ve tried a number of MTB glasses that have prescription inserts but they just don’t work well. Gone back to OTG goggles with full face.

    Who’s had a new knee and has it affected your riding?

    No problem kneeling down. Don’t need knee pads. Problem is getting up as the bend is not as good as it used to be. Have to work out what works for you to get up. It’s always possible, just not very elegant. charlie

    Who’s had a new knee and has it affected your riding?

    90 degrees is a mixed answer. Physio says that they work on 90 being the minimum to get to. I have 125 and still gradually increasing two years after surgery. I had surgery with a robot, and after talking to others who had the old style it was much quicker, less pain, and back to full use much...

    How can the Trek Bosch 85 Nm be so loud in this review?

    sounds like a problem my wife had. Fault was caused by Kiox using contact with base because the magnets that hold the display have come out of the base.
