That's not really what you said though is it, I can agree with the rest of what you say.Pebble wrote: ↑10 Feb 2024, 12:55pmEveryones welcome on a standard push bike, but if its all being powered along by a powerful motor at 20mph (often without the rider pedalling) then it should be on the road.Vetus Ossa wrote: ↑10 Feb 2024, 12:40pmReally? so a heavy rider on a heavy bike shouldn't be allowed to ride on the same path as you.Pebble wrote: ↑10 Feb 2024, 10:07am we once had sensibly sized cars and vans, they have slowly morphed into Giant SUVs and Monster Pickup Trucks - I fear we are heading for the same nonsense with electric bikes
I was talking to a bloke with one recently, his massive bike was so heavy I could barely lift it, and he must have been 20 stone. - he should not be on a shared path!
And what about these giant cargo bikes with the load placed in front of the rider like a battering ram, no place for them on shared paths either.
Really? so a heavy rider on a heavy bike shouldn't be allowed to ride on the same path as you.Pebble wrote: ↑10 Feb 2024, 10:07am we once had sensibly sized cars and vans, they have slowly morphed into Giant SUVs and Monster Pickup Trucks - I fear we are heading for the same nonsense with electric bikes

Thanks,I have some off cuts and may well end up doing that again.
Thanks Will, I have done that too, thing is I don't have any threaded bar or wing nuts come to that, or even dowel, so would probable be just as easy to find the proper thing if possible. I never like going into bike shops and asking for something for nothing, but may bite the bullet.Will wrote: ↑7 Jan 2024, 1:26pmA piece of threaded rod, some washers and some wing nuts:Airsporter1st wrote: ↑7 Jan 2024, 10:39am If you can’t get from a bike shop as suggested above, then making your own might be easier than sourcing them.

If it was a Canyon, I think you are not the only one to have this rattle. I was considering buying one myself but frankly it's put me off buying.francovendee wrote: ↑2 Jan 2024, 9:23am I bought a bike from a German company that had one of these motors and I had the reverse problem, going up hills it was very quiet but on the flat a rattling sound came from the motor. I knew it was motor related because the noise wasn't there when riding without assist.
After many emails and a video of me riding it with and without the noise they finally agreed to take it bake and give me a full refund.
It was a real shame as in all other ways I really liked the bike.
I'll be interested to see what others have found with the steps motor.
My son is strong, fit and slim, I'm not, but i will get it on if it kills meslowster wrote: ↑31 Dec 2023, 6:26pmIt would great if it was the right size and you could try it out. If so, please report back with your findings. If it has the waist cinch strap, please try it on the bike with the strap both loose and cinched.Vetus Ossa wrote: ↑31 Dec 2023, 6:10pm My son (military) has one apparently, so will see what it is, and if big enough try.
I will report back when I have decided what to buy.slowster wrote: ↑31 Dec 2023, 5:53pmWhich is not what I said. 'Akin to' means of similar nature or character, not 'the same as'. With the front fully unzipped and the sleeves pulled up, the ventilation will allow a lot of body heat to be lost, especially so in breezy/windy conditions.
The bottom line is that the vast majority of users of Buffalo clothing are relatively fit, healthy individuals with an active lifestyle. Even when standing around those individuals are likely by virtue of a higher metabolic rate to be generating significantly more body heat than someone who is elderly, infirm, unfit or in poor health, and sensitive to feeling the cold.
If Vetus Ossa were to buy a Buffalo Shirt and confirm that it worked really well for him despite the fact that he was riding an ebike at a low intensity, and despite his sensitivity to the cold, that would be a valuable endorsement of the products' effectiveness for all groups of people. However, I am not confident that it would be as effective as a much cheaper insulated jacket, and given the high cost of Buffalo tops I think buying one would be an unnecessarily expensive gamble compared with buying something like the much cheaper Decathlon insulated jacket, which djnotts found worked very well for him.
