    New bike and the sun's out

    Sorry I didn't explain very well it's the rockshox ei that's got a mk2. Yes restricted to 15mph but yes dongles are easy to get. I tried one on my last bike but the speedo reads 50% of the speed so looking for another.

    Sduro All mtn rc 2016 display not registering correct speed

    Check the wiring connection in the frame above the motor. It's easy to drop the motor down and above it are the wires. Mud and water can get in there.

    New bike and the sun's out

    Not many manufacturers took up the EI sus, Lapierre had two bikes out with it when it first came out but the had problems with the computer. The Haibike one is the mk2 and I've not seen or heard of anything going wrong. I think it's a shame more don't use it but people are scared of technology.

    Hi from UK

    It's a small world. I know Dannys dad Jimmy and sponsored ( with a few bits) both James and Danny when they were 5 or 6 years old racing mini bikes. Oh I could go on about racing but the older I get the better I was ;0 )

    Hi from UK

    Eddie we have more in common than you know. My daughter I'd called Jo after Joey my all time hero. He use to go to see John Harris who sponsored him in Crowborough. I only met him briefly in the island. Unfortunatly I lost my best friends and like you say time does not heal. I raced in 85 to...

    Hi from UK

    Have a great time over there but be careful. As I said I raced it but more people are killed in road accidents than racing each year, remember what side of the road you should be on when your doing a lap using both side. The speed limits in the towns are very strict and if you fall off you're...

    Hi from UK

    I've raced in the Isle of man 3 times its a great place. I hope you've booked already as everywhere sells out fast. You really need a motorbike to enjoy the place so you can ride the circuit and watch from lots of places. E Bike hire is as Eddie says and the downs are good fun for a ride Pete

    Hi from UK

    Thanks. Only got it sat and found Sunday that someone else must have ridden it and had the chain come off. Marks and bent hanger, three bent links on chain. Today they said they would replace chain and hanger foc. It's not what you expect from a new Bike!

    Selling E-Bike Tuning Kits; Implications & Legalities

    Fortunately I live in the country and no where near a town, I can get to a town off road so unresticting it makes sense. I'm hoping to pick some warranty bits up tomorrow so I will ask to see how they can tell if it's be unrestricted

    Selling E-Bike Tuning Kits; Implications & Legalities

    Here in the UK you can tune one if you have the licence insurance etc or you use off road. I had an international motorcycle race licence but would still like my bike to go faster than 15mph. What good reason keeps them at 15mph when I can pedal at over 20?

    Thanks. I've got to take it back tomorrow (chain has tight spot, hanger is bent and marked, not by me) so I'll ask to see what they can see when plugged in
