Can highly recommend Cyclotricity. Have fitted four of their kits, all working perfectly. Concur with comments on front motors, always use torq arms, in fact I used them on the rear kits as well (belt and braces!)

I know it’s for mtbs, but, I’d swear by the Marathon plus - absolutely bullet proof. We’ve just bought two Scott E mtbs, had a load of punctures on the tyres that came with them. Just changed for plus tyres, oh joy, no more punctures. well if you look at my comment above, from the Schwalbe notes, t...

Just seen this reply - can I ask a couple of questions that have been interesting me as a keen ebiker! how long is defined as ‘not in use’ re batteries, and is there a practical/accurate way to check charge % level?

Don’t think that’s a good idea, might encourage them to drive even closer

Well, he is God!

I know, let’s start a God thread - any chance of it outliving the helmet thread?

Very sad! But, every pothole repaired? Never going to happen surely a bit of realism needed here - the pothole was how big? I may sound heartless, but, how about looking where you’re going?

Sounds horrific! I don’t want to ‘rub salt into the wound’, but, surely you could have avoided it happening at all. You say that you saw the lorry pulling out, so why not slow down? Always assume that you either haven’t been seen, or are being ignored, maybe he misjudged your speed? If I read it co...

Exactly!

I do love these ebike threads, I just can’t get my head around how, otherwise, hopefully, intelligent people, can talk so much utter rubbish about ebikes!! but, please carry on

Got to disagree with you on this. I’ve been doing the ‘strategic wobble/wander’ for a long time now, and, it does seem to have some effect. A bit like anything that you feel might help, it is up to the individual what they decide is suitable for them. So much is a matter of perception and confidence...

Whoopee! Another helmet debate, I do love them. OP sort of sums it up, I want a ‘helmet to keep me safe’ but don’t want to spend any money!! A bit of a contradiction? sort of points out the complete absurdity of the helmet argument
