    The therapeutic value of ebiking for people with anxiety or depression

    Ill have to try the lean the bike trick. Ive become a flashaholic so im spoilt for choice now on which torches i use when i go out at night, torch as we aussies call them. I now have 2 decent bike mounts so i can mount both mid and small torches to use for extra lighting.

    Who spent a lot on their E-bike? Was it worth it?

    Ive had many people have a quick chat to me about my bike while its with me not one of them has asked how much it cost. The most common question i get is 'how far can it go the battery', not a question i can answer specifically as we all know our range is subject to many factors. If there is a...

    Who spent a lot on their E-bike? Was it worth it?

    I think by that reply we’re well aware of what your like, you also have very poor reading comprehension and seem to be insulted by other riders sharing their information on purchases made. Good luck with whatever you buy this is just a click bait thread.

    Best Hydraulic brake system?

    Can Am has always been an option, but my mental processsing has to improve greatly before i even consider it PTSD combined with FND (both diagnosed) have ruined everything i used to do, E-Biking has replaced it somewhat.

    Best Hydraulic brake system?

    Brembo make some of the best brakes for motorcycles and cars so its no surprise theyre making bicycle versions, expect to pay for it though. Also braided stainless steel lines like you see in the pics above, make a huge difference on a motortcycle (i no longer ride motorcycles due to...

    Insuring your Ebike

    Since the bike cost me a small fortune i decided it was a small price to pay. Do many others use it? I had to buy an isurance approved Abus lock but thats fine as by bike has now got 3 locks for the thieves to bypass if they want it. 1 for the frame and seatpost together, the other 2 for the frame.
