    2 Newbie E-bike Questions

    We got our first two eBikes from the internet. The Raleigh for me was fine, but the Cyclotricity just kept falling to bits as Mrs DG rode it. After that got the next bikes from LBSs and found that to be much better. DG…

    E-bike Insurance

    My contents insurance covers eBikes up to £3500 only. As our R&Ms are over this, we’ve had to take out separate eBike insurance. However, there are many companies in the U.K. providing this service now. But you do have to check carefully the cover they offer as this can vary considerably...

    A nice leisurely ride around the villages of North Buckinghamshire this morning. Started at 0730, but then called at a friends for coffee for about an hour, then off again. There was no fog early this morning and the temperature when I started was 17oC (63oF) but when I finished, it was...

    Unlike @RabH, I did it the non-sensible way as Mrs DG wasn’t working till the afternoon. So started at 14.45 when the temperature was 301oC (87oF). It was very warm, but did create some breeze whilst riding. Went round some new parts of Milton Keynes, which I am finding out has an amazing...

    Superdelite front wheel quick release axel

    I have had issues removing the front Quick Lock axle bolt in the past on my Nevo3. Once undone, if stuck, I use a socket extension bar and a soft headed mallet to start to get it to move, which usually does the trick then pull it through. When reassembling, give everything a good clean, then...

More details; “Electric mopeds and motorbikes Electric motorbikes, like conventionally powered motorbikes and mopeds, are categorised by power and speed and different laws apply for different kinds of bikes. The same rules...

    Are all Bosch mid-drive systems Class 1 only and... is that good or bad?

    No, they have managed to make them legal up to 15.5 mph with the DVSA. I think the only manufacturer in the UK to this. DG…

    Are all Bosch mid-drive systems Class 1 only and... is that good or bad?

    I don’t know if you have Wisper bikes where you are, but they do a full throttle legal version in the UK. May be worth investigating. DG…

    Same in the UK. You see a lot of young people on all types of bikes. Steering one handed as they are doing something with their phone, not paying attention and weaving all over the place. Of course, no helmet either. Another thing you see, particularly with family groups, Dad not wearing a...
